Let's say you don't own the script even though you say you do. Let's say they tell you 'thanks but no thanks' then produce the movie anyway. You're right, if you tried to sue them and if they could prove the script doesn't belong to you, the case would be thrown out. ... but what about the...

I love to see the locations for my favorite movies. On the Howling disc, we get to see the locations now, like 40 years later. Same with the disc for Basket Case. It's cool to see how things change, plus you get to find out that what was presented in the movie was not at all the way it was...

Chris, Can't you just add that at the end of the video or provide a link below it?

The tricks of the trade :)

Nate, It blows my mind how you can obtain, and manage all the assets you have in those shots. You're right when you say that most people have no idea how much work goes in to making CGI work.

Right now I'm sharpening my CGI skills for a feature production that will officially launch this summer. CGI characters set against live action backgrounds. The characters will be animated using motion capture. I will be using some of the stunning desert scenery found in Utah. The production...

My wife and I are watching a religious series that is crowd funded. The Chosen. Season 4 is in production. They claim to have a 1.2 million dollar budget/episode. If this series really is crowd funded, it just indicates that there is a massive, hungry audience out there willing to pay to...

Does anyone remember the film board LikeAstory? I think it had to be one of the original film chat rooms when the Internet was still relatively new. Back then there were hundreds of members posting nearly every day. Wow, so much fun... Then there was the bulletin board explosion when there...

I'm just saying that from my experience, they would be setting themselves up for litigation down the line if they didn't. This kind of situation is in the papers sometimes; a company makes a movie then someone comes out of the woodwork claiming the company stole their idea. The worse one I...

Hmmm... Sorry Sammy but it looks like I'm the only one who wants to wish you an early happy birthday. One of the greatest entertainers ever... That's ok, Sammy. I'll hang with you.

It will be interesting to see if anyone's interested to see foul mouth 'slappy' in another film. Even before Smith showed that he's a punk, I never liked him. I like some of the films he was in but mostly for the other actors and the great special effects. I think the final straw for me was...

Get well, my brother..

There's more to it than whether they've made stuff or not. The legal issues trump all. Why would they issue and open call to script writers? Nobody with any brain would read a solicited or unsolicited script unless it came from a reputable source, an agent with a good reputation, an...

Oh, I agree with you. I was simply noting what Google defines it as; 'The standard of something as measured against other things of a similar kind..' My Webster's New International Dictionary, printed in 1962 uses 1/3rd of a page to define quality. Definition 2: Degree of excellence. There...

That video is worth watching over and over again..... and I will. When I was young, a very good sculptor told me the difference between someone who sculpts and someone who sculpts well is time. A good sculptor is willing to take the time where others would say "good enough".

... an attention to detail. That's an important attribute of quality. When the city workers fill in a pot hole in the road. There is quality if the work is good and clean and leaves the traveler able to drive over the filled hole without feeling it. Quality. Attention to detail.

On this day back in 1925 it was not Sammy's birthday. Sammy was born on December 8 1925. Early birthday wishes to the memory of Sammy Davis Jr.

I get ya... But I disagree with you, Sean. I think everyone has a story in them worth telling. You too. Talented writers can write about anything. I believe that. The rest of us can still write but I think it has to be about something we care about. Something that means something to us. I...

We had a pretty good conversation about art and what is an artist. So, now onto something new... What is quality? How do we define it? Are there characteristics that all things of quality have? Does art have to have quality to lift a person from the arena of those who only wish to be...
