    What is a Script Supervisor?

    I made a little 6 part series on Script Supervising with the Script Sup on the film I'm currently finishing up. If anybody is interested, feel free to watch. If you have any questions, please leave a comment. Tim will answer your youtube questions. (Part 1) - What is a Script Supervisor...

    Spec Screenplays Versus Shooting Screenplays Versus Continuity Screenplays...

    Exactly. Thank you. This is really the thrust of the point I usually try to make with filmmakers. There are 85% (for the sake of argument) other things wrong with the script/the movie/the lighting/the sound/the whatever, and the filmmaker is worried about the rules s/he read in a book written by...

    Unfortunately for the both of us Guanto, I'm incorrigible by nature, and quite beyond redemption through my general everyday behavior. As a result, I'm now working on my second self funded feature (very low budget). I can already hear your heart breaking for my future :). I also wanted to make...

    What is the 'official' Checklist of a Director?

    I don't know what is "expected." You can probably search "how to direct a movie" and get more books suggested than you can spend time reading. But they'll probably tell you what you should do if you have a real budget. I'll just tell you what I do (no budget for concept or storyboard artists)...

    Spec Screenplays Versus Shooting Screenplays Versus Continuity Screenplays...

    Funny thing is, that when I started out, I was trying to learn all the rules, as I didn't know anything about anything in filmmaking ( I still don't). Then I saw filmmakers trying to apply all these rules. I myself tried to apply a few. And I came to the fast conclusion, maybe to my own...

    Although I've never worked in a professional setting, I'm almost 100% sympatico with this odocoileuse person. Whether I agree with everything he said or not, I agree with most of it. And what FSF said was also going through my mind, regarding whether you're inside or outside the industry. My...

    cinematography Cinematography / VFX question for a particular shoot

    Why can't you green screen it? And you can take advantage of AE or Mocha in post production to make the background do whatever you like.

    :lol: Smart Lyrics. Quite sophisticated actually. This one's definitely my favorite. Although I had to turn my head away from the screen on one occasion. Nice work!

    I wanted to argue with you. But I think I'm just going to give up. Cheers.

    Talking about Sound Design

    I agree with you. Here I describe it, to make that connection. And in the movie they're going to a place that serves veal sandwiches. That's the connection. And just to elaborate a little further. I didn't do the establishing shot, as I needed the interior for a separate location in the movie...

    Talking about Sound Design

    I was thinking about your response. And you know, to be absolutely, perfectly honest, it sounds a little bit like bullshit. And I don't mean this in a disrespectful way, but more in a conversational way (it would be much easier having this conversation face to face as then it would sound...

    Talking about Sound Design

    Yeah, I suppose I am aware of how difficult it can be to properly design sound for a scene where I don't even give you the establishing shot. But thanks for taking a look anyway. Yes. I know. What you were listening to there is the boom and two lavs all at once. But I'll mitigate any issues I...

    Talking about Sound Design

    Okay, so here is the scene: https://vimeo.com/129950212 password: sound The audio has not been corrected, but I'm interested in the sound design portion. It's about 4 minutes long. I understand that there are limitations to any ideas you may have as you don't know the story or what precedes or...

    Confusion about music license

    Re-read your contract with audionetwork, the way they are saying you should interpret "as is" sounds unreasonable to me. Read the contract and see if there is anything that gives you the right to: edit, modify, rearrange, etc. Don't take this as legal advice, but I just used somebody's songs...

    Talking about Sound Design

    I keep forgetting about the captital F. It's not intentional. Honestly, after watching those videos, with no disrespect to anything, anybody or any profession, the best sound design elements about Star Wars seems to be "Sound Serendipity", not "Sound Design" and all the waving around seems...

    Talking about Sound Design

    Wow!! Thanks for that APE. Let's go forth with the discussion. As I was reading your bit about the prisoner POV, I was going "meh" and shrugging, as artistically I didn't care for that POV then, or now. But then I read about the sound effects during that POV scene, and you completely changed...

    Filming Sex

    In the film I'm working on, I made the actors go out on a date. The dude had a girlfriend and the girl was single. I bought them movie tickets and everything. I made them do the kissing scene multiple times during the rehearsals and made them improvise and make up their own lines. It was a hell...

    It's not a vague post when you put what she does, in context. It's great that you're not a nube or truly desperate. I am. I'm working on my trailer and would like to be able to post it on this thread. Please stop talking shit. You're going to drive away the only person genuinely connected to the...
