No problem there, buddy. And just one last point (before I shut my yam-hole) to bring this back on topic... The original rant linked here about how indie filmmaking is dead... Piracy is an over-exaggerated excuse cooked up by the billionaires. Downloading bootlegged films makes up such a...

I'm saying there are a variety of reasons for piracy, but that the main one is lack of availability. There still are those who pirate simply because they do not see the value in paying full price (or a price). There are those who abuse piracy and create DVD libraries... And also, some people...

I dunno, call it Saw Se7en? How about shoot the entire movie in one location- a picnic- and call the movie "A Murder Mystery Picnic". Here's the plot: A Detective is saving a cat from a tree when a car hits an electrical pole and it falls over on the both of them causing the Detective's and...

A peaceful winter solstice to you my alien love-children! May Klaatu spare our puny lives! Merry F'ing Christmas!

Firstly, sorry about the length of the post... I'm a 'free-thought-typer'. But glad to hear so many people actually read the darn thing, LOL! Basically, you nailed my conclusion... although I admit you'd want to look at a larger data-set than I did to draw it up as a "fact". The fact is...

I disagree. I think the market is simply responding to the lack of innovation in distribution and poorly marketed products. Top 100 Torrents of Movies as seen on Pirate Bay: http://thepiratebay.org/top/201 About 90% of those movies I've heard of and are Hollywood studio fare that STILL turned...

Life is suffering, indie. If life ain't suffering, it ain't art.... just business. Ugh. Use your budget's poverty to instead focus on storytelling and what's important. Hollywood puts out a shit-movie a month- Deathrace 2008, anyone? They just had a marketing budget and some names involved. So...

SinBotones was pretty brilliant. I love short shorts... I can see the Robot Chicken reference there too.. Jüsèralo was BRILLIANT though...really cool transitions between scenes, awesomely creepy mood, wicked visuals, creative shots and great acting. Loved it.

I liked the ending part with the jackhammer/brain footage... some of the shots are interesting in there, but some stuff, like the 50 or so shots of feet lingered a bit... you could probably cut this down to 2-3 mins of just the best visuals to tighten it up... also, the text doesn't look...

Few points of criticism... 1) Watching this teaser, I KNOW I would not be able to sit through 40 minutes of this. I don't have a problem with bad lighting, home video feel, or artsy styles... but from how the trailer is cut, it looks like the pace on this "short" would kill me. 2) I have no...

Fat Albert, is that you?

Hey film people. I stumbled across this: http://www.5000seconds.com/ It's a collage-film that will be edited by Erik C. Andersen (did Four Rooms and Broken Arrow apparently) that they're making into a feature selected from submissions. Looks like they want a "reflection of the times we live...

Super congradulamalations dude!

Thanks for sharing. I'd hope people are reasonable enough to know the difference between the citizens of a country and the elements of violent extremist groups within. Then again, look what happened with Iraq. Sadly it is greed, blind faith and nationalism, stupidity, ignorance and...

Dude, miniDV tapes are cheap.. so don't worry. I have most short films of mine shot on two-three tapes, and while our feature was shot on approximately 50 MiniDV tapes, that was over 3 years with other projects as well. When you get into "film", then you have to start being conservative about...

No idea, but it actually sounds really interesting, so if you do end up finding it, please come back here and post the link... I totally dig Sumerian history.

hhhheeeeeeeellllllllllllllooooooooooooo!!! A friend of mine used to have a VW Rabbit. It was the sweetest car EVER.
