Well, I'll toss in my two ducats... For my first (and only) WIP I have a few ideas I want to explore. So, I became a 'god' and created my own universe. When populating my universe, I based the characters on people I know or have met, and on real people/historical figures. That's not to say...

Why not use both? A "piece of the puzzle" for your story could be moving ships from orbital storage sites to deep space storage sites to prevent deterioration. Then your characters could talk about the ships, what happens to them, why they are doing what they are doing, etc. My current WIP...

How many decades can you wait??????????

In case you missed it, my studio was flooded out last September and I am out of business. I have also very suddenly developed serious hearing issues (I go for an MRI next month.) So, I don't have a decent studio to review sound, and my hearing is currently distorted, so I can't comment on...

Then you have to write it that way. Check out both the novels and mini-series "The Winds Of War" and "War And Remembrance." General Armin von Roon is a fictional German general who, in the novels, writes books about the German view of WWII while serving his prison sentence for war crimes; in...

Audio post takes the proper listening environment, the proper tools, great ears and experience; LOTS of experience. It also helps if you are totally anal about the smallest sonic details.

Why would you want a B-17 bomber crash in your sci-fi film? Here's someone from our own IndieTalk community who can do your sci-fi action scenes. I have no idea how much a "name" would cost; I guess it depends upon the name and how big the cameo is. Sometimes your big name is just luck...

Think about how many well-known actors were in that film; that's probably where a lot of the budget went, just like today. I wish I could remember the film, but it was shot back at the turn of the millennium for about $100 million. If you took out the salaries of the "names" and the costs of...

You're right, he would not have done something like that at a formal dinner, but he may have snubbed a Soviet officer at one of those formally informal military/diplomatic meetings. The film just exaggerates for dramatic effect. One thing about the military, everything is standardized. As an...

One of those great guilty pleasure movies. When I first heard about "The Expanse" I was expecting something a little more leisurely. They just keep moving from crisis to crisis, I never get to take a breath. If it's longer than two or three minutes about half will back out. How long does...

Despite his upbringing, Patton had a very foul mouth. The next time you see the film replace his dialog as if it's a Tarantino film. In this clip just replace "God damned" with "F**king" and you get the idea. Check out this newsreel of Patton from post VE-Day WWII; he had a very high...

Oh, c'mon Mogul, I was jokingly commenting on IndieTalk's comment that a dance scene wouldn't be expensive compared to the other effects required by a Sci-Fi project. An underappreciated WWII film is "Twelve O'Clock High" (1949). Most of the film takes place on the bomber base; there's only...

Unless they have the dance party in zero gravity......

She was definitely unique!

Yes, "Die Hard" is a Christmas movie. He's going to see his (ex) wife and kids for Christmas, and look what happens. :rofl: There are a number of non-Christmas movies that fit the mood of the season for me. Going My Way (1944) (It does end on Christmas) The Bells of Saint Mary's (1945)...

Don't the courts have control of the trial recordings? There's probably an administrative fee to obtain them, but shouldn't be too expensive. I don't know enough about Fair Share laws to give any opinion there; that's why you would need a production partner, to help you navigate the ins and...
