    Starwars that I used to know

    That was great! The original song is getting a LOT of exposure through remakes, parodies, etc... It's a great song and this was a great parody of it. Here's the original for comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UVNT4wvIGY And a REALLY good/cool cover version...

    Sundance is being sued for fraud.

    This. They could treat ALL films the same by saying, "Does this one have any recognizable names in it? Or high marketability, or etc..." They can look at these things by just reading the tag and accompanying info. If it doesn't fall into those catagories, they chuck it...

    Are 1930's style movies bad for the box office?

    Whether a movie is "good" or not is completely subjective. But even if a movie is generally thought of that way, there are a lot of things that need to happen at once (a kind of perfect storm of things) to make a movie successful. The current thread on here discussing the success of Avatar gives...

    How did Avatar make so much money?

    The only movie you can compare Avatar to is Dances With Wolves... :D

    Are 1930's style movies bad for the box office?

    It wasn't 1930's but Captain America was 1940's sci-fi and it did pretty well. But I see your point. It seems that ever since Raiders of the Lost Ark ( the greatest movie in the wordl, BTW) came out, studios have been trying to recapture the lightning in a bottle that film was. So, movies set...

    archived-videos Die Hard prank recorded in public with a hidden camera

    I loved your Back to the Future and The Shining spoofs. But this one was a little flat. I think it would have been cooler if you ran around in a wife-beater shirt, khakis, and no shoes yelling, "Haaaaannnnns!" **EDIT** And I just watched your Forrest Gump spoof, which I hadn't seen before...

    How necessary is make up?

    You want to look for pancake make-up or similar for film production.

    Working with Bad Actors....

    You say that you're the editor. Get as many different takes as you can with different styles of delivery and cut them together to make them work. A good editor can make or break a performance. Also, if you consider yourself a good actor, act the scene out for them. Let them try to emulate what...

    Why wouldn't they? The footage looked great to me. Isn't that the whole point?

    Looking for a singer/songwriter for a film!

    He said it's unpaid. But what I want to know is, what exactly are you looking for? A single track? One that's already written, or a new one written for a specific scene? Specifics please...

    lighting How do I get this type of light look?

    It is lens flair, it's just not full out. I will again suggest taking an online film course so you can learn this stuff...

    cinematography Question about using focal length.

    H44, I would HIGHLY suggest that you take some film classes. Even if you don't have a school that offers them locally, they have many to choose from all over the interweb. I took an online course through filmschoolonline.com and learned all kinds of extremely helpful elementary filmmaker stuff...

    Should I shoot a whole movie green screen?

    If it absolutely has to be a police station, then you should try writing it like they did on "The Shield." Their station was called "The Barn" and was a former small church in the bad part of town. So you could have your story take place in whatever type of location you can get your hands on...

    Should I shoot a whole movie green screen?

    So am I reading it right that you have an Assault On Precinct 13 kind of a thing going on? John Carpenter filmed his original version on a low budget. Does it have to be police station? Could it be a private investigator's office? Then you could any office building. Or, if you absolutely need...

    Should I shoot a whole movie green screen?

    H44, I admire your tenacity in trying to come up with ways to shoot a million dollar budgeted movie script on $50. And I know that this isn't what you want to hear, but there's a reason it seems impossible to do what you want: it’s practically impossible. You're writing a script with all this...

    cinematography The Killing TV series

    Love the show too! It reminds me of a cross between X-Files (without the supernatural element) and Seven. Very moody. And they had BETTER tell who the killer is this week, or I'm done watching! There's only so much dragging out they can do with this story line...

    Need DOCUMENTARY ideas!

    I'd make a documentary about how difficult it is to come up with an idea to make a documentary about. I mean, come on, man! Your subject is practically slapping you in the face!
