Sorry, I just saw the above post (I skimmed them all after Rayw's initial reply) and it would appear as though you've already penned your masterpiece. Now you have to fund it. Good luck. P.S. (For rayw) Terrorists strike whenever and wherever they feel they can get attention. They're Big...

Two questions: 1) How serious are you about making this? 2) Why do you need a big city? Ever seen Alien Raiders? It wasn't the best flick, but most enjoyable - especially considering that the badness of Demon Night - sorry (I actually liked Demon Night), Legion, probably had a 26x bigger...

I said about the release form/waiver because I assumed that this scene would be in a feature which may just find distribution. If someone ever chanced across seeing themselves in this film and then thought, "I should be paid for this..." they could SUE for considerable money. If it's a...

Sorry for the misconstruction - I thought that you'd asked some "actors" to perform and then kind of sprung the sex scene on them. On kissing: tongues are rarely used (in the other's mouth) on screen. Actually, it's pretty easy to fake French kissing and angles make it even easier. Let us...

Right, thanks for clearing that up. Someone told me that indiegogo takes a % of the raised cash, so I was a little sceptical, thinking that maybe Kickstarter kept it all (if not fully raised). Have either of you used these services?

Two ways spring to mind: - You shoot from a rooftop/somewhere high and then, when you shoot your film proper, you have walk-ons form a mock crowd for closer shots. - You arrive early, let people know that you're a low-budget film-maker and ASK if it's okay that they sign a waiver (so that you...

It's an "all or nothing" site, in that if the producer fails to get 100% of the commited funds, he/she receives NONE. My question is: what happens to the donated money if the producer doesn't get it?

Well, there was a LOT of good to be said about the scene, but the shakiness of the camera was inspiring my vertigo. Perhaps it's my own weakness then? It's always tough to say to someone, "Pull that camera back, mount it on a tripod!" without coming across as a Spielberg fan-boy, pretend guru...

Am I the only one who thinks that telling the actors up front they'll have to perform nude is not the right way to do things? Casting 1 Director: "Before we begin this audition, the role you're applying for requires some nudity during a sex scene - are you okay with this?" Actress: "Um, well...

I was taught that if I've nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all... BUT, I did like the camera work in beginning, biting the cheeseburger gave a sense of levity, preparing me for what was to come, and the footsteps above while the hitman was in the basement sounded good (on my laptop. I...

If you use two different cards in each camera and then plug them into your PC, do they show up as having different filing systems (FAT32 or something else)? I'm only asking because it's possible that Camera B has automatically reformatted your card to suit... in which case, you'd have lost...

I have both, but have been using FD for longer so just never made the swap. I'd 100% endorse Celtx though. If the difference between free and $150 is fucking robots reading you the dialogue in a function one will likely terminate after the first page and never use again, then go for free every...

Line Producer. Contact a few agents, tell them in a line or two about your company and script and ask for rates on an experienced Line Producer. Get all candidates' info, haggle over costs (because we're paupers, not Hollywood, and are self-funding during Development (as well as being unemplyed...

There's nothing wrong with asking fellow users to LIKE your film on facebook - it's a marketing tool, after all (or, a pre-marketing one for me). Hell, I'll get an account (other than my company one which can't view others' pages) just to LIKE it. I honestly cannot fathom why members of this...

BULLS**T, "fan made". Hey, I really enjoyed it, but that doesn't change the fact that this is a team's effort to sway bigger producers into picking up their project and running with it. That said, I'm now curious as to whatever happened to Cup of Tears, which was the talk of film forums a few...

Congratulations - financing a probably the most difficult part of the game. Let us know when your film's available. Sorry, I just noticed that the above post is a year old. Hopefully it all went well for you.

Cut to/fade to... it's a director's preference, but to a writer, the same thing. harmonica44, CLARITY is one of the most important aspects of screenwriting. Yes, Transitions may lengthen a page, but confusion kills a script.

^For a no-budget production, this is probably the most sound advice. If you ever want to make a real short, you really ought to consider linking up with a writer. I don't mean it horrible, but if you can't figure out any more scenes than "Assassins kill someone," then you're going to have...

Cool.

First off: you have to set the SCENE accurately. I was thinking that it was some random sign reading Hollywood. If you mean Hollywood Hills, write that. - No character descriptions. If Harry is Kevin Spacey's DOUBLE, you have to make that clear from the off-set, after all, "we see" Kevin on...
