What you are doing here is being a salesman. You are selling the project, but, most of all, you are selling yourself. And, my friend, you had better be prepared! Because you are going to be asked questions, A LOT of questions. And if you don't have a good answer, you may have lost an...

I haven't paid attention recently, but one of the Turner stations used to run it for 24 hours Xmas Eve to Xmas Day. I'm sure it's on demand, and we still have our DVD.

I'm listening to the news talking about the Russia/Ukraine war while I pack for my move. I'm just wondering how bad everything is going to get.

But that is Clancy. At least as far as the technology that appeared in his books, it was as realistic as possible. He is, quite obviously, a supporter of those who serve in the military. Part of the explanation to the reader is a reminder that a soldier has to actually know all that stuff...

I know you don't read sci-fi, but have you read Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land?" The character Jubal Harshaw commented that you always had to leave an error in every work you wrote so the editor could fix something, because "He won't like the flavor until he pisses in it." But by...

I haven't planned my route, yet.

I'm waiting for someone to do justice to the Pern novels by Anne McCaffrey. The power plays, politics, cultural dichotomies, some very interesting characters, an undefeatable enemy (at least not until about a dozen books later) and, of course, the dragons telepathically linked to their riders...

Herman Wouk's "The Winds of War" and "War and Remembrance" were made into passable mini-series, as was Clavell's "Shogun." I really liked the re-interpretation of "Contact" by Carl Sagan. Although lots was changed, the essence, the feel of the book holds true. I was very disappointed with...

Because "real" sci-fi novels are just that, novels. As we have seen too often, the film becomes nothing but a visualization of the book, losing the essence in an attempt to make it "marketable." Or... They try to turn the novel into something it is not. As an example, has for many years...

Disturbing, weird, confusing (I think intentionally), well acted, beautifully shot.

KISS - Keep It Simple, Stupid! You want one simple set and a simple situation. This will allow you to focus on the physical actions of your actors. What kind of story? Two people will eat a meal together (kitchen or restaurant), spend time in a room of the house (bedroom, TV room), work in...

I find most TV to be boring. Sitcom families seem to be stupid, clueless idiots; the characters are all overly exaggerated cliches. I'm sick of formulaic cop, fire & medical cookie-cutter dramas, and if I see another zombie or vampire I think I'll puke. Most sci-fi and fantasy shows start out...

Use the iPhone, get solid production sound gear.

I'm nearly finished with my packing to move, and with most of the legal folderol associated with selling the house and the divorce. I'm planning to leave for Texas after the house closing at the end of February to have a look around, then be back here in Connecticut for the final move out of...

It is not unusual for a "Hollywood" budget project to have over 1,000 audio tracks. Quite obviously, you'll have great difficulty managing all those tracks and hundreds of thousands of sound bites if you don't do a lot of preparation. The "process" is to break down the project into manageable...

Thanks!

Greetings IndieTalkers, As you all know I am moving in the near future. Some stuff I would like to sell, some I'll just give away. Here are a few things that may be of interest... Please PM me if you have interest in any of these items...... Come And Get It If you want it, all you have to...

Too bad there isn't one for the local soundscape as well.

Supposedly, there was a person whose only job was to monitor Humphrey Bogarts cigarettes, so the length didn't change from edit to edit.

Hey There!!!
