    Just finished a television pilot. What now?

    Great job! Now write 7 more scripts for 7 other shows. Then start calling talent agencies offering to send them your work. Hopefully, you can score a meeting with them. If they like your work, they can set you up with meetings with networks so you can pitch your shows. I doubt you could get a...

    How big should my miniatures be?

    With that, my question has to be, how good are you expecting everything to look anyway? You say you're making this for TV or computer, and it's going to be done low budget. Are you expecting to make something that's going to look like James Cameron developed it? Because you won't have the budget...

    How big should my miniatures be?

    Goodness knows that I'm always in favor of practical effects. But when budget is a concern, I don't understand why you don't go with a CG model. It can be made for less, and you only have to build one to be used for all your shots. That one model can be blown up (multiple times if need be,) it...

    When's the time to tackle a feature?

    The best way to gauge is to ask yourself how your shorts turned out and give yourself an honest answer. Do you think an hour and a half of your last short film would be something that others would be able to watch and enjoy? Because a finished feature will probably end up about as good as the...

    cinematography The DP that wasn't there...

    I'm a big fan of: Doug Slocolme, who did Jesus Christ Superstar, The Great Gatsby, and the first 3 Indiana Jones films. Andrzej Sekula, who did Pulp Fiction and American Psycho. And Dante Spinotti, for his work on LA Confidential, The Insider, and Red Dragon.

    Total Recall teaser.

    I remember when the trailer came out for the last Star Trek movie and EW magazine actually reviewed the trailer! We've become such an impatient society that we can't even wait for a movie anymore. We have to have trailers for the trailers and a review of them... It would be funny if it wasn't...

    Somebody told me that using FD lenses with a DSLR was a bad idea. I respectfully disagreed with them... I think it looks great. One more look/style to add to your arsenal...

    How important is prop accuracy in this case to audiences?

    harmonica, while I appreciate your desire to get the details right in your films, I think you have a tendency to over-analyze a LOT of things that aren't that big of a deal. You're going to drive yourself nuts continually worrying about the miniscule details. Save such worries for when you have...

    ever see this in a movie?

    That's not quite true. From The Indie Spiritualist: "The Church of Satan has received much press throughout the years for things such as public Satanic Baptisms (which was first performed in 1967 on founder Anton LaVey’s daughter Zeena), Satanic Funerals & nude female alters. Even the film...
