    How would you write a basketball game in a script?

    This is something I'll need help with. I'm writing this movie. It's a basketball-themed film and right now I'm just skipping around so i can do the game scenes last but how would you write basketball game scenes in a script? I mean, it kind of just happens how it happens in the movie. I mean...

    wanting to do a fight scene on a subway train - how?

    There won't be guns in the scene at all. I'll save all that and all the action stuff for when i have those... mega million dollar budgets and when I'm with Hollywood. After all Safe (the film that i got the idea from) was made on a $30 million budget.

    wanting to do a fight scene on a subway train - how?

    You know what? How about I keep it simple and keep the chase from when the character runs into the train and end the action right there. How about that. Then we wouldn't have to risk people getting hurt or god forbid killed.

    wanting to do a fight scene on a subway train - how?

    I'm planning on having a scene in my film that takes place on board the Broad Street subway train (I'm in Philadelphia). What i wanna do is turn an actual train station and its subway cars into the movie sets, maybe using real commuters as extras. To describe the scene, there is a chase scene...

    Wanting to use a certain gun for my film

    1. Uh, none! 2. You had me cracking up with that! 3. Sure. I just like the realistic look of it, especially the "PIETRO BERETTA" names on the side. But i will follow the advice of the first two guys who said paying that much money on a gun just because of its looks isn't worth it. To Lucky...

    Wanting to use a certain gun for my film

    First, I wasn't sure whether to post this here, or in the "On the Set" forum. So, mod, if there is a more appropriate forum, please move accordingly. Anyway, I wanted to use the Beretta 92 INOX in my film, as one of the prop guns. I particularly wanted to use an airsoft version with the Beretta...

    power rangers fan film question

    It doesn't matter if we're not making any profit off the film? How about NO Sentai footage?

    power rangers fan film question

    A few of my friends and I are planning on making a short Power Rangers Jungle Fury fan film. I'm wondering if it would be okay if we were to use GekiRanger footage in our film. We were going to get the footage from dvds and from YouTube... as long as it's footage without the clock and no subs...

    How much would it cost to rent Panavision cameras and lenses?

    Excuse me. Not to be rude or anything but I actually did take the time to Google what I was asking in the OP and had I gotten the answers I was looking for here, this thread probably would not exist. But perhaps I should've stated that in the first post. Just a gentle thought. ;)

    How much would it cost to rent Panavision cameras and lenses?

    I want my film to be shot on the Panavision Panaflex Platinum and the Panavision Panaflex Millennium XL2, using Panavision Primo and C-Series lenses (or probably G-series). Can anyone give me a good or fair estimate on how much it would cost to rent these cameras and lenses on a per week basis...

    queston about distribution

    But it would've been nice to see my movie being sold in Best Buy and Walmart stores, even in just a few. I just started thinking about that when Blade Jones mentioned it. This sounds like a dumb, laughable question but I'm asking it anyway. Is it at all possible for a film to get distribution...

    queston about distribution

    That's what I'm thinking about doing. But here is the trick: I want my movie to be available for VOD on YouTube. At this time a film can only be sold on YouTube if it is uploaded by a film distribution company. This is my first film anyway -- not that this is an excuse as to why a company can't...

    queston about distribution

    I'mma be up front and honest here: I'm nowhere near ready to start distributing my film. But after screening it in a series of film festivals, I would like for my movie to be available though the following platforms: DVD and Blu-Ray iTunes YouTube Amazon (just to sell the DVDs and Blu-Rays)...

    Copyright question. A scene inspired from another film.

    Well, actually I'm a girl making a feature-length film. I thought my username Natalie O'Shea made it obvious but that's all right. Well, I mean they might. But better safe than sorry. I just thought I see if it'd be safe to do it.

    Copyright question. A scene inspired from another film.

    So there's this scene I wrote in my script -- Jason and Eric agree to meet up at this warehouse. It starts off a friendly conversation and then it turns into an argument when it's established that Eric betrayed Jason. So Jason grabs out a gun and shoots Eric in the stomach three times. Jason...

    EVERYTHING I've EVER wanted in a movie!

    Have them at different times then but in one sitting, just not all three of them at once... ... ... oops, I just answered my own question, didn't I? http://www.terrariaonline.com/attachments/flying-20zombie-20laser-20shark-jpg.23476/ OMG! You almost had me laughing myself dead! You kill me...

    EVERYTHING I've EVER wanted in a movie!

    Okay so what I've done was this: I sat down, got out a few pieces of paper, and wrote out EVERYTHING i want in a movie, the kinds of shots, characters, who i want to be in the film (no big name stars since this is indie), the lines i want spoken, where i want the movie to be shot, what i want...

    Transitioning from rough to shooting draft

    Celtx, it is then. *under my breath* I knew I'd get called out on that sooner or later. Maybe it's just me but movies, for me, feel at their perfect length when it's in the 90-minute range. Six is one of my lucky numbers. And "Yelling to the Sky", another indie feature, had a runtime of 96...

    Transitioning from rough to shooting draft

    Reading my rough draft, i can't help noticing there are things missing from it that shouldn't be and other things that i intend to go back and change with more scenes, even though that means more pages (strangely enough, i want my feature film to only be 96 minutes long). I'm more than ready to...
