If you had to keep the other dialog and only change the last one, +1 for Ray's line. But all the other suggestions are totally worth plugging in and seeing what works, what feels right... :yes:

Does the "story" need to start by the end of or on Page 1, or will a solid HOOK suffice? I'm thinking of "cold opens" here... maybe the same thing? I think they are two different approaches or perhaps they achieve similar things? I certainly like the idea of grabbing a reader's attention by...

Dig that rusty old truck. :yes: Nice shootin', Dima. Gives me some ideas...

and then there's Mel's Law... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHmYIo7bcUw "Well, talk about bad taste."

Yep. In November I gave it a whirl using NaNoWriMo as the catalyst... The whirl didn't last very long! (blah) I petered out after my head went spinning while wrestling all the plot lines into shape. Sorta like cat wrangling. Just couldn't focus long enough to bring it all together. Once that...

Congrats! You should be. It's yours to be proud of. Making anything is always a long road and sometimes it turns into a dead end. But you were able to put a frame around this and get it out there for people to see. Very cool. I did! It's not my cup of tea and I think it could use a bit more...

:lol::lol: Now I need to go put on my lapel mic... so I can rip if off! Man... what a moment. Think he was just mad as hell and couldn't take it anymore. ;)

For our purposes, we ended up with 281.32 (BPM I assume) To be honest, I did some tinkering in the Premiere timeline with the song and the test video and we were able to dial it in, but I'll be damned if I can remember how! The equations you all present look like they were along the lines of...

Ableton Live, yep! That's the one. It was useful and we were able to dial in the track's BPM and export an mp3 for playback. I was shooting in 720p mode at 60fps so I knew I could only slow down the visuals to 40%. We managed to get a few takes that worked in sync (with the lyrics) and then...

>>A finished micro-budget feature. I reread your OP... what's the genre? Sci-fi? If so, this is one of the top Sci-Fi festivals in the universe! http://www.bostonsci-fi.com/ I'm hoping to catch a film block or two.

I made a lot of contacts from listing my feature, but it hasn't yet found a home. Yet! It will... eventually... btw - how often are the short listings updated?

We did some slow motion for Mulligan's Island and discovered that in order for the video to match the music (in the timeline) the playback needed to be MUCH faster than I originally thought. But there is an audio program the guitarist (Panos) had that can speed up music but keep the lyrics not...

Thanks Liz. Wow, 5 years? That's really great. Had no idea, now I do. I've listed a feature spec in the past and decided to add a short as well.

Looks like the feature might be a year old, since some of the posts date back to Jan 2013. Had I known about it I would have listed something sooner. Yeah, some of the loglines are a hoot!

Great behind-the-curtain info here, Paul. Thanks for posting and big congrats on getting closer to that finish line. It's not the end, just the beginning!

InkTip.com now has a section to post short script loglines and contact info for free. http://www.inktip.com/sa_short_script_listing.php?cat=sa&scat=services Perhaps I've been overlooking this option... or maybe they recently made this available to members? I know to list a feature-length...

But of course! Although it's much easier to collect payment directly using your checking account routing info. :yes:

I just made a super fun video of me burning 100 dollar bills. Let me know if you want to see it. I'm charging $100 for the password. :deal:

Came across this on the Internets, thought it was worth posting... http://www.fastcocreate.com/3022129/all-the-things-that-are-wrong-with-your-screenplay-in-one-handy-infographic?partner=newsletter#1 The infographic is too huge to post here, but it's on the website link above. And I don't...

DO IT JOSHL!! I command you! :director: :P
