Yes, there are quite a few. There's a fairly widely used production sound forum, two well used and respected audio post forums and of course many others besides. Most of those who really know what they're doing wouldn't be interested and even for relative audio newbs, this board has limited...

Was that not you I quoted, has someone hacked your account? Maybe I'm just too used to your tactic of "making a point of not" being something, while being exactly that thing? Would that be the insane giggle of a buffoon? Oh dear! G

1. I have never stated that I know everything about Hollywood. I know far less than everything about "Hollywood", let alone Hollywood! Again, "Hollywood" isn't just Hollywood, it's also New York, London, Canada and in some cases other places. To state otherwise is to state that a large number of...

I think I understand what you're saying and if so, I don't take it the wrong way at all. To better illustrate the difficult to explain point which I'm trying to get across, let me add a further example to the ones you've given: [3] Incredible visuals and equally incredible dialogue/audio...

Huh, really? Apparently you are one for completely contradicting yourself though! What do you hope to gain from adding sarcasm to misquotes, misunderstanding and contradicting yourself and, what does it gain anyone else reading this thread? If you want to believe that doing pretty much the same...

1. I can't speak for others, but I'm NOT advocating prioritising sound over visuals! I'm advocating prioritising "SoundVisuals" over visuals. 2. That appears to be a simple issue with a simple solution; just balance the dialogue louder against the sound FX. In practise it's not a simple issue...

Really? You're a filmmaker and you don't know that "Hollywood" is not so much of a place but more of a thing, an international business/industry which doesn't necessarily actually happen in Hollywood? You think that all the James Bond films, Harry Potter films, Tolkien films, Star Wars VII and...

Of course you're not, the opposite is true; you're less sick of this conflict than anyone else (with the possible exception of me). If you really were sick of this conflict you wouldn't have started this thread the way you did, let alone contributed to continuing it. I don't get this tactic of...

And there, apparently, is one of your main problems! You've been trying to "tell me for years" something which is a complete fallacy. Why might I "actually consider" a complete fallacy which you've invented? Instead of doggedly clinging to ignorance/fallacy and trying to convince me of it, you'd...

And I've never tried to stop you from making a no/nano budget film, have I? For the umpteenth time, you're completely free to make any sort of film you want. If you want to make a hobbyist film, I'm not stopping you or advising you not to. How many times and how many different ways do I have to...

I haven't toned anything down, I'm saying exactly what I've always said. And, you specifically invited me to respond and now that I have, you're throwing a hissy fit? I tell you what, you stop trolling and fucking with other people's heads and I'll stop telling you the truth, how does that...

In favour of your haterism, typical! G

OK, I'll play along but this is starting to get boring. Also, I'm not really replying to you personally CF because there's obviously no point, I'm just responding to what you've said hopefully for the benefit of others. Is it just me, do you not see how absurd this is? You wanted to show...

1. That's not our conversation so far. Our conversation so far has essentially been: "It's a golden age of cinema, how do I become part of Hollywood?" "Becoming part of Hollywood is damn difficult (not virtually impossible!), here are some of the facts which need addressing ..." "Damn you and...

And I GUARANTEE that MJ didn't become a great basketball player only by dreaming about it or even by dreaming about it, playing a couple of basketball games down the local park and then trying out for the Bulls. I also GUARANTEE that there have been countless tens of thousands of other children...

As an example, George Lucas gained the contacts and knowledge of what was possible, of the potential of what was possible to achieve the seemingly impossible (to others without those contacts and knowledge). What he attempted was the possible, not the impossible. It's not difficult to predict...

The response of child who dreams of becoming a star and needs a pat on the head for their childish efforts. If you ever decide to make a film which people actually want to watch then tuning out those who've made a living for decades doing what you are only able to dream of, is foolish at best...

Define flourishes. I heard EXACTLY these arguments in the '90s with regard to the music industry, when instead of half a million just to get started, digital technology made it potentially possible to achieve pro or near pro results for just a few thousand. The number of home/project studios...

Moose, they're indigenous to north America. That means you can pick up an Uzi, M50 or even some heavy artillery or a grenade launcher at the local store or off the web before you head out into the bush, an angry moose has no chance! G

One of us is an artist (which requires also being a technician), was trained as an artist and was a professional performer of art probably before the other was born. The other doesn't even appear to know what art is in practise. When/If you're ever serious about making art which people might...
