I use the phone book when I'm desperate.

I'm from Asheville, NC. I'm not there right now though. I'm working in South America at the moment (cruise ship) I'll be back in July.

I totally agree with SonnyBoo. Instead of looking for inverstors, try looking for a DP or Sound Mixer or Editor who would be willing to work on your project for cheap to nothing. Expect to not get a return on your short because most don't. Hope that your short will win some awards at...

Are you trying to do this in one shot for creative reasons, or because you lack the ablity to cut? Either way, I would go with a low angle where you are hiding in a hole and we can't see that you aren't covered in snow. We just see the snow go flying up (proprelled by air or by the hands of...

Or you could do: Created by: ZenSteve Written by: Myfriend But then if you wrote something down to begin with, even if it was just a short story then you could be: Based on "Title of Original Work" by: ZenSteve Written by: Myfriend

Some popular movies from the eighties were: Risky Business, Goonies, Ghostbusters, Romancing the Stone, Crocodile Dun Dee (but don't watch the sequels that came later.) Dirty Dancing, Three Men and a Baby, Rain Man, Big, Twins, Batman. Masters of the Universe with Dolf Lundgren, Frank...

I am loving this information. Keep it coming. This is all the important stuff they don't really teach in film school. It's one thing to create art, it's another thing to get it out there for people to see. I was wondering if you could elaborate on one aspect of your initial post here. Say...

I've never had any distribution expirence, except first hand to family and friends :) I'd go for it. Look at this as an investment in your future. Is this the only movie you will ever make? Is this the best you think you can do? Why not let someone else pay for it, and make it that much...

I see stories in my head, no I'm not trying to go for the vauge c answer. I'm visual. I think of a scene or a shot or a character then I build a story around that. Sometimes I ponder the "what if" factor and get a story line that way, but mostly it's visual.

:welcome: Good to have you back, Zen. I've missed your little words.

Clive is right about owning the copyright by publishing. That's all you have to do; present your work to the public. Now registering your copyright, that is a competely different thing. In most court cases a registered copyright will beat out a copyright that isn't registered, even if the one...

It sounds like they want to have copyright protection for an idea. It's never going to work like that. I never did like the whole pitch an idea thing. I know that's how it was done and still is done today. I would rather see people pitch their finished work, and if the producer likes it...

I second that. And isn't it ironic that there are generally only 2 audio guys on a set at any given time, yet there can be a half dozen or more people in the camera department. My advice would be pay for a sound mixer in production so that you don't have to pay more for a sound designer in...

I have a Bachelor's Degree in "Motion Picture Technology" for the University of Central Florida's film school, but I’m telling you that little piece of paper means nothing. Film school isn’t about the diploma. Today I do freelance work as a photographer and filmmaker. Most of my freelance...

Well I couldn't stand to be out done :redgrin:

I went to film school. I was a Florida resident and I got a Florida scholarship for the school of my choice in that state so I went to the University of Central Florida. I learned as much, perhaps in some cases even more than larger more established film schools like NYU, UCLA, USC etc. Big...

What if she is a care taker for her autistic brother and has been too embarassed to say anything. You'd feel bad then if you told her "Bitch! You suck!" Better to rise above, be the better man and charge a deposit next time, so if she cancels at least you're not out much. ;)

I worked for a producer who didn't know what he was doing and just abused his crew. He had the money to do it right, but he mismanaged his time and made everyone work rediculous hours without enough sleep. It was a student film, but he had hired some professional audio guys and after working...

My reel consists of 1 minute from each of my 4 short films. I just picked out the best minute and put them back to back with a nice fade in between and titles before each clip giving the title of the peice, the date it was completed, what my credits were (i.e. directing, cinematography, and...

I like your site. Why did you say that you hated it? The only thing I would do different, is make the picture that you have of yourself black and white. It's very warm and the rest of your site is very cool in color. I think a black and white photo would match the site better.
