    IndieMeet 2013 recap! (video/pics)

    Glad to know I didn't break your camera lens. LOL. Give me buzz sometime. Sit around and talk. Might be in your neck of the woods this fall ... When are you going to start another project? You have all those great rock formations out there ... of course the flame's are not fun, but what a great...

    Do you need to act to direct?

    My two cents... I am not rich, famous or have a foot in any door... I have directed a few small projects -- one really bad, one mediocre and one that turned out very well. Call it not afraid to stumble in the process of learning. Life is learning. If your not -- your dead. I am not an actor...

    IndieMeet 2013 recap! (video/pics)

    Looks like it was a lot of fun. Just like last year's. A great group of artists... sharing their art. I learned a lot from last years gig. Scoopicman, you rock and keep rolling... Wish I didn't have such a full plate of projects in 2013. Could of used that Las Vegas break!

    Anyone have a "Dream Project"?

    If I couldn't do one of my own scripts... Quality Science-Fiction is HOT in 2013... AND these stories come with a ready, major following ... Stranger In A Strange Land (Robert A. Heinlein) Foundation Series (Isaac Asimov) They Walked Like Men (Clifford D. SimaK) The War of the Rull (A. E. Van...

    Realism in script writing

    I agree with all the above, but am not a know it all... I learn something new everyday, (actually a lot of things -- everyday). One thing that continues to surface (drop-up)? Your movie is only as good as the weakest link. Cause the worst part of a film drags the whole of the story DOWN. So I...

    Looking for a Director with ideas.

    Ideas are easy! Putting them on paper well is hard to do. Getting people to read your polished scripts, scripts with years of labor even harder. And getting a green light? LOL INTENSELY. Good luck.

    Films and You: A Questionaire

    I'll play along... 1) Black Sunday (in the early 1960's). I was 11 & went to Sat. double feature for 35 cents. Loved Barbara Steele and Bava's Italian gothic horror. 2) Gypsy (yeah, go ahead and laugh)... had a crush on Natalie Wood at the age of 12. From that day on I wanted to make movies! 3)...

    Blood, Sweat & Hot Pants

    Clever marketing idea and use of the Internet. Going to investigate further. Thanks for putting this up on IndieTalk!

    Making a Music Video - legal standing?

    Do not shoot anything without a contract or release. If you do not have either; you have nothing. Chalk it up to a learning project. I do not shoot anything (other than personal home movies) without a release from whom ever, (or whatever -- as in location, artwork or...

    editing awesome logos / crappy movie

    Forget the logos... Concentrate on the story telling. What was good and what you feel wasn't in all aspects of the production, not matter how short. As a film maker -- try not to make the same mistakes again -- one learns best by making, studying and making a new. So make a lot. Also, one can...

    Can you win awards without crew?

    Very good question, have wondered such as well, (I have never entered a festival competition). I have won some awards for music videos, I did everything but the performance in front of the camera(s). Also was a quarter finalist in a national script competition, (only entered two)... but most...

    Before writing a screenplay

    Just start putting words on to paper. Don't stop. Daily. Make it a habit. You will have some thing in hand to show (if you have the guts to share). You will learn mountains. DO NOT BE AFRAID TO FAIL. We have all failed -- it is how we learn. Try to not to make the same mistakes twice. Network...

    Films about making a film

    LDS. My point was... you should make your own movie about making a movie... get YOUR ideas out there. Good or bad. Make something. Life is too short to just sit back and watch.

    Films about making a film

    Good list above me. For better or for worse... I made one. Called The Haunted Movie. Story? Jack Ripley with no money and questionable talent, makes a movie about a Scream Queen, Lucy Fear who is about to open the doors of her newest haunted house, a million dollar electronic extravaganza...

    The People vs. 3D

    Guess I'm back on IndieTalk, (for a couple of weeks) probably not missed -- but I sure missed the reading here. I do like to read what others say, get wide opinions and keep up on tech and creativity. Also met some pretty cool, smart, talented people here. Saw this thread and thought I would...

    IP, Copyright, and YouTube

    I have been burned by copyright theft... my past work (copyrighted music) has not only been stolen and used without my permission, but foreign companies like radio active records (Great Britain) made lots of money off of my work and I never saw a dime. Wasn't until 2008, that a company in...

    Let's analyze John Carter

    I have had several words to say on John Carter (as book series and a movie that waited for technology to catch up so it could be made) on this thread. Appears that there is an investigative 'book' about the 300 + million dollar film. The final word? Maybe. Maybe not. I watched the movie again...

    Finding Fans

    The question you have to ask yourself, is how much time do you want to spend on line? Creating a fan base on any type of social network by computer takes time. A lot of time. If spending your time on a computer, typing to unknown faces will help you succeed... go for it. Let me know how it turns...

    Growing up in the '70's

    Hope this is NOT boring... I feel 35 on most days... look only a little older (or so people say -- they might just be 'being nice'). But I remember "I Like IKE", duck and cover and I had the coolest Davy Crockett 'coon skin cap' till I washed it (I was six in'56) and it smelled like a dead rat...
