If I understand the question correctly - Time lapse. Yes, it can be done easily in post on a non-linear editing system. Or, if shooting on film, it can be done in-camera, by shooting @ less than 24 fps, but playing back at 24 fps. This is how you watch a flower blossom in mere seconds on...

a haven for the art? Hollywood is a haven for Jackson, Grant, and Benjamin. If we're lucky, an earthquake will soon sink Hollywood. Sparring human casualties of course. Well...except for agents and execs.

First time filmmaker who knows nothing? You're screwed. How did you end up in this situation? My advice - if the film can wait, then wait. Learn first. Or shoot the thing in video first. Watch it, learn from your mistakes, then switch to film. Because it is precious. It ain't video...

BOLEX makes wind-up and battery-powered 16mm cameras. The first Bolex wind-up debuted in 1933.

The ones who DONT want to show off. The ones who DONT put pauses into their lines. The ones who DONT try to be "interesting". The ones who ARENT self-conscious. The ones who realize an actor DOESNT "become" the character. Theyre the ones I look for. Can I name a single Holywood actor...

I could care less what these guys greedy dreams were. Do I enjoy some of their films? - yes. I dont think they're less than me. You've got it backwards. Believing in awards and accepting them means that you acknowledge the voters that you're better than other people. Eliminating awards...

I dont try to insult people. And I take nothing personal on the internet. I don't know you. You dont know me. Those who find success all must pay their dues. Which is why it is vital to have a thick skin. Everyone's got problems. Some broadcast their problems for attention - others keep...

Spoken like a true fame-starved filmmaker. The Oscars aren't part of the solution - they're part of the problem. Fame. Stardom. Celebrity. Talk shows. Magazine photos. Interviews. None of these things are necessary to make films, and yet they are the reasons why most people want to make...

I would begin to get in the habit of writing within your means. Write what you could realistically and practically produce. Shorts. Like between 5-10 min in length, told visually with no dialogue. Pace yourself. 10th grade. You got all the time in the world.

It diultimatey post. Took a couple of minutes. But now a new problem with the "failed send email 225 bug" that another user posted that he received as well. I'm getting the same thing.

If you find your self lacking interest or time in writing - it's probably beause you're not writing about something that is truly important to you. Something that you feel MUST BE TOLD. One of the reasons this happens is when people write only for: fame money stardom I rarely have this...

Best advice I can give honestly - 99% of the people you encounter are not going to believe in you. I'm one of them. You're very young and you have to prove yourself to be talented, reliable - someone who has proven that they can truly deliver. So, write the script, polish it, which means...

I dont know why I keep having trouble with this website. Doesnt happen to other sites I go to. I go to the forum, to Screenwriters Lab, and to the thread JIGSAW RAINBOW, which has the first 18 page of a script I wrote. So far so good. Then I post some more pages of the script. But it's not...

INT. CLASSROOM - DAY On the blackboard, The TEACHER has written the class assignment: HIROSHIMA - HAS JAPAN FORGIVEN AMERICA? Tobey stares at FORGIVEN. LATER While Tobey is diligent taking notes, fellow BOY and GIRL students flirt casually with each other behind him. INT. TOBEY'S BEDROOM -...

I also recommend SCREENWRITERS BIBLE by Trottier. But the ELEMENTS OF STLYE FOR SCREENWRITERS - I threw that away. I thought some of the guidlines in that book were pathetic, the problem is, I cant remember what they were. But I remember thinking, what the hell is this crap?

You going to UCF or Full Sail?

At least youre humble and honest in a resume-padded bullshit industry. That's saying something. Goes a long way in my book. (but unfortunately not far enough to get films made) :D You completely ruling out shorts? Strictly feature length?

1. Enter screenplay competitions. I recommend NICHOLL - do a search. They wont produce your script, but if it stands out, can lead to things including an agent. 2. Have a staged reading of the script with temporary actors before an audience of potential investors, directors, producers.

Casting Agency?

Just outta curiosity - in what capacity are you involved? Agent? Produce? Direct? And, what are your credentials and available resources?
