    Question: "Film Completion Year"

    When your film is completed this year you can say that is from 2016. No problem.

    Loglines for feedback

    Congrats. You've put down work and seem ambitious. Makes your loglines pretty fun to read. These worlds seem all very intriguing, but these stories do not work for movies yet. That's the impression I get.

    Hello boys. Seems that this won't miss originality. Is there an existing movie that you'd compare your project to?

    Plz Help me Bring 20min Script to 5min

    Yes, I didn't even write what I thought, because I didn't come up with the right word and ended up writing Bishop. To clarify: the king would have a powerful Witch Craft Doctor on his side. All to build up that there are spiritual powers in play and that the king is using his wealth to play...

    archived-videos Louis Barabbas: Faith In Myths

    It's a strong delivery from all four main contributors. Music, acting, direction and cinematography. Cuts seem to be fast for the sake of being fast, especially in the opening scene. The first EXT shot is absolutely awesome.

    Plz Help me Bring 20min Script to 5min

    Zareen begs Marui to go through with marriage for her and her people's sake. And this time Marui is so burdened by being held a prisoner that she doesn't answer with a clear no (as always before). Zareen therefore runs to the king with the good news that Marui's will power is coming to an end...

    Plz Help me Bring 20min Script to 5min

    Could be cool to open with a creepy groom waiting by the altar. The bride arrives. She's a miserable bride approaching the creep and they're getting married. On the way towards him she sees other creepy faces in the audience. FLASHBACK to how they captured her. Someone else promises her this...

    Plz Help me Bring 20min Script to 5min

    It's a pretty good story that you have. A shame you can't use the whole thing. The rules of the world in which your story takes place changes at the end. I am pretty convinced that you'll solve your problem as soon as you fix that.

    Need help with shooting scene

    Talking about images isn't going to help. You need to draw a storyboard at least, and then talk about that.

    archived-videos What do you think of the latest music vid?

    The high head voice is more than nice. I never like b/w, but your brighter ones are excellent. Also the camera jerks seem like like your own. The location is obviously top and the use of lights makes it even better. Negatives are some unclean cuts that jump. And you miss the opportunity to be...

    Makes sense to make other notes at time of screenplay writing?

    Seems we have a case here where the writer, DOP and editor are writing together, in great harmony, complementing each other. Every note makes sense, as you will want it to come across that your attention to detail is rich.

    One way would be to open with OG Bam and the thugs watching him and clearly planning something.

    So... what do you think?

    Yesss, well done. The kind of stuff where you get away with a master shot and that's it. Excellent. I'd say, go out and shoot.

    archived-videos A short-video about mobile addiction and loneliness filmed on Singapore's subway

    Isn't it like this with cameras? Your choice of camera has to do with what you want your audience to focus on. Camera or story? Some camera nerds mainly want to show off an amazing camera quality. They need the best camera available on the market. For everybody else, what camera is used is not...

    Hi olmaster. What I mean is you've managed to capture something that looks unreal, even if nothing about it is staged.. So good job.

    Nice shots. Looks a bit crazy, but the subway always made people look gray. Now they seem a bit busy at the same time.

    What's Wrong With This Screenplay?

    Not all bad. I read 15 pages. The approaching death gives it substance and the Harley-Michael meeting is terrific, but it is constantly off. Doesn't feel real, as intended. You've done a pretty good job, as it reads well, but it seems clear to me that it takes another level of skills to fix the...

    Good concept. The images are terrific. I'd try to edit the opening a bit more - get it as strong as you possibly can. The SUPER and the reader saying what the viewer sees aren't optimal. Now the first impression is not the best possible. Further on I got less distracted. Work, work work.
