The main thing really is to learn from the experience and to come back stronger. Excellent. Can I be a bunny?

^ Then his poster does a very good job. And, Justin, I'd definitely make an exception and watch your drama.

An unpaid role? During this stage, when it could very well be you versus him, trying to tell stories might just make you look bad. Your choice.

Visually, Graeme, it's class - what camera/s did you use? I was particularly impressed by the quality of the night scenes... you said this was made on NO budget, did you not? Wow, no "graininess" whatsoever! Sound, again, is a problem - you really have to start paying somebody who's worth...

^ Um, no. If you can't stand butt-kissers in real life, would you hire one for a part? Just be yourself - a performer is (or should be) judged as much on his own personality as on his craft. At the end of the day, if you were to choose between three great-looking men, one was late for the...

What I got from the poster: - indie and/or art-house - drama - something to do with a baby/young child Which led me to think: indie low-key drama about a woman not coping with motherhood (be it financially or whatever) and arguing with some bloke (most likely child's/her father) until the...

Really not the same thing. The O.P. was for genre fans and this was a wife-beating drama; it was kind of like comparing sand to glass - they both have the same matter, but one's see-through and holds water whilst the other slips through the fingers and is washed up on the shore. Apologies...

Well done. For what it's worth, I enjoyed it. Yes, you could have done with a larger toilet (some shots are too close, which gave an unnecessary amateur feel to an otherwise competent fight scene) and some make-up/effects added during the fight (even if your bird just added a bit of rouge...

Always do your best work. It doesn't matter if it's for a student film or Hollywood billion dollar budget summer blockbuster, if you perform to your utmost, and aren't some kind of arse hole, you'll be judged on that (and will end up with a more impressive show reel should you land any parts)...

What program do you write with? In both Final Draft and Celtx you'll be able to use a Transition, which is where you'll type these little important words. Suppose you have two blokes, one saunters across the pub to talk to some hot girl just as another smokin' babe goes over to talk to his...

I hate to throw a spanner in your works, Epitome, but how to pen an action sequence is something pro's and amateur writers alike still argue over today. As film is a visual medium, I'd advise that you write what is seen. Avoid technical stuff (Japanese names for aikido take-downs), and do not...

Should anyone else be interested, the most prolific film industries are: 1) Bollywood (India) 2) Nollywood (Nigeria) The rest is impertinent as this stifles my argument. Note also that this thread turns up in a google search of the subject, hence my reasons for want of privacy.

I'd love to help you out, mate, but I'm insanely busy (as in not even sleeping properly) at the moment. I'll send you a PM and you can shoot me the file/s over in a week, but I can't promise you anything over-night. If you get enough takers, let me know. And in order of keeping track of who...

Shanked, Thank you for again taking the time to respond; I've been reading a few of your other posts and you're clearly an intelligent person who is well versed in his trade. Thank you for clearing up a potentially dangerous area with the business plan/prospectus - I didn't want to argue over...

Advertise. Key word. Oh, and not ALL directors were once high school directors... Tarantino is alleged to have not even finished high school. Miike (once claimed in an interview that he) went to film school simply because he couldn't get into university.

Shanked, Thanks for your reply, I appreciate both your time and honest, sound advice. But, I'm not composing an offering of product placement at this point in time if that's what you meant; also, my understanding was that a business plan and business prospectus were synonyms (but no need to...

Since this is research for business, I'm putting the question here. As a part of my prospectus, I'd like information on which countries have the most prolific and/or thriving film industries. I'm going to have to ask for links as all data included in a prospectus requires sources for...

I feel that it's one of those that I can love when it's made but doesn't stand up to the test of time. Given the cult following the man has, I'm surprised that nobody else here has commented... I'll ease off and give them all a chance.

Seriously? I thought that those pads were designed to so that furniture doesn't scratch wooden floors. Thanks for sharing the idea.

martyf, Welcome, I'm pretty new here myself, but rather than "lurking", I just signed up and got to give an opinion on a few things which I hope helped some people. Since I was researching something at the time for my newly formed production company, I even created a thread. Wow. Due to the...
