    Fine, you win, LOL. Here's some of my favs so far (we had a professional BTS photographer too, so more is en route) Ready to chop! Our make-up artist and fellow zombie, Jenn! Head explosion rig = PVC air chamber with ball valve and hose, air compressor, blood filled tube, duct-tape...

    Mushroom Zombies

    Bully??? Don't be bitter- get inspired! If a chump like me can pull it off, anybody with enough determination, blood, sweat and tears can! Everyone on the cast and crew kept telling me that they were getting inspired to dust off old ideas and get working on them... which is the greatest thing a...

    Mushroom Zombies

    Well folks, I'm happy to say that the first week of principle photography on my feature film is wrapped! We shot a little over 65% of the movie (23 tapes on 2 cams) in 8 nights and 7 days. It cost just under $1500 including SPFX, food, transportation (well, a little more with everyone pitching...

    archived-videos "Blaze of Glory" YAFI - 2009 48 hour entry

    Despite the teeny size I liked it! Good "funkay aloha" tune in the background helped the comedy quite a bit. I liked the cheezy effects (like the sliding door) and the gags with the deaths (especially the one after the credits- I was wondering when that was going to come back, LOL). The pacing...

    Most Disturbing Film You've Ever Seen

    Actually, it was also a book by Dalton Trumbo, who was a Hollywood Screenwriter too, way way back in the "golden age" (though shouldn't it be called "black and white age"?)... he was like one of the top ten screenwriters at the time, or something. The book is amazing, written in the first...

    Faith Based film bandwagon?

    Wow, that rant was like V for Vendetta, with a lot less V words. I agree with the general sentiment though - I'd rather not make movies in a genre that I don't find an interest in, but in turn I accept the fact that during the day for a living I work with 11 people in a call center that is...

    I Will Not Read Your F'ing Script

    Well I'm an avowed dick and I hate assholes.... but I got no problems with pussies.... so I guess fucking Josh Olsen (or whatever the asshole's name is, LOL) would be quite an unpleasant experience for me...

    Advice on how to deal with actors

    Some options: 1. A Candy bar 2. A Bottle of whiskey 3. A Board with a nail in it 4. A Shotgun 5. A fake Oscar on a pole and string like the carrot and the horse.

    I Will Not Read Your F'ing Script

    @rik For clarification, I'm neither pro NOR non-pro... I'm semi-pro baby!!!! LOL! I get your points there, but let's say a non-pro asks a pro for a read and the pro politely turns down the request due to whatever personal reason. If the non-pro then thinks that the pro is an asshole, it is...

    Directors - What do you look for in a script?

    You would be going for producers for the sale, but it's easier to get a director to become a champion of your script on a low-budget level... so for starting out, I'd probably recommend looking for director/producers who can get the ball rolling themselves... it may not result in millions of...

    I Will Not Read Your F'ing Script

    Interesting rebuttle: http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/opinions/why-josh-olson-i-will-not-read-your-fucking-scriptis-an-asshole-colea.php I get what Josh is saying, but I disagree with his general sentiment... maybe it's a Canadian thing, but I find that people understand things better when...

    Irishman in Toronto

    Hello good sir! Have you been out to the film festival yet? Maybe even try volunteering next year. I'm a fan of learning things backwards first and it's a great way to get an idea for the penultimate goal at the end of the struggle. You meet all kinds of people along the way- publicists, press...

    Is there a program for creating story boards?

    If you were to create a flash-browser-based application that would have customizable templates for actors, shot-types, the ability to import and modify photos and to export into a downloadable format I think that'd be amazing. Maybe even this could be a part of indietalk, or an indietalk...

    Please help, important project

    Take it or leave it, but if you wanna draw some crowds (mostly protesters): Old man in dark basement, completely naked, stares in the camera as he "self services" himself (the bits creatively covered in shadow, out of frame or with objects). Insert narration where he explains all the things...
