    Don't know if it's perfect or needs work.

    I enjoyed how you introduced Marissa's character. I learned a lot from both the dialogue and a few simple visual images. Kudos. Altogether it works well but I can't see the big picture and I would need to understand the complete plot line before I can make any story criticism. My only...

    Stop Motion Short Film Destined for an Oscar Nomination with your help

    The story is entertaining, simple, fun and targeted towards a family market. The only reason this film will be costly is because of the fact that it is animation. I think every filmmaker likes to think their film is destined for some type of greatness but I wrote that in the headline because I...

    Stop Motion Short Film Destined for an Oscar Nomination with your help

    I think to achieve a quality film then a minimum budget of 20,000 is needed. Of course I can have all the money in the world but it would make no difference without a cohesive, talented, enthusiastic team of individuals and people are always more valuable than money. I'd like to restate that I...

    Before writing a screenplay

    I would suggest you open a blank Word document and just start writing. Don't worry about format; just write. Write everything you see in each scene and let your characters wander through the blank pages of your imagination.

    Need feedback on a screenplay idea

    Sounds very cliche, but then again aren't all movies in one way or another? Most of those films rely on one thing; good characters. Make sure you care about your characters before you write because if you don't, then the audience/reader won't care either.

    New To This

    First, you need a good screenplay. Your film will most likely be short and low budget so stick to one character and their singular conflict. ACT 1.) Introduce the character. The audience wants to know who the protagonist is. Make it simple and pithy. ACT 2.) The problem. What does your...

    We have a problem.

    Every scene in your film should have significance to either the story or character. Ask yourself, does adding flashbacks help tell the story? If so, write your heart out. If not, cut it. I would personally suggest making your flashback scenes be especially significant adding more depth to the...

    I like the idea of two people waking in a locked room with no memory; this premise almost certainly creates an excellent dramatic situation. My suggestion would be to choose carefully when your characters share in a laugh because I felt the characters A.) laughed too much and B.) when the...
