pft if your any good you'll pull it off with a greenscreen.. hahah. jokes.

i havent seen this movie or the other 2 i am about to mention, but judging by the trailers it looks like they are trying to make it look like a cross between cloverfield and avatar

it worked for me. very well done, i can say i honestly enjoyed it. Looked good, as far as camera bs. but i was impressed by the fact there was actually some sort of dynamic there, it was dramatic. the music helped. I like how a lot of the dialogue seems vague to the audience, it leaves us...

no i think what he said was right. i've thought a bout that myself, the purpose of math. idk why the teacher could never sum it it like that. it's true the math doesnt directly apply to your life but the mental functions and problem solving does. I don't need to go to school to learn how to...

eh i tend to go through phases. i made a good point tho.

thanks for the tips. i guess what i was thinking is more along the lines of me wanting some sort of degree, and wondering if one in screenwriting would be worthy. i guess the general consensus is, no.

anyone?

So I've been interested in filmmaking for the last few years, but never had any specific plans for a career. I was always hoping I could read enough, watch enough, write enough, and learn enough about film in order to make my own picture that could gain attention at a festival and find a career...

honestly i thought the breaking into musical part was kind of corny, but the rest was good. they do break some of the dogma rules, (diagetic music, violence, period piece) but i think it is still generally considered dogma.

incredible. i hope you get to make it. crackerfunk has a good point, if you can make the trailer with $0, wouldnt it be worth a shot to do the whole movie for $0? or even if you can't do the entire thing for nothing, get as much finished as you can. that would probably help you fundraise to...

i wasn't intending on starting an arguement about primer, i'm not cracker funk. i was just putting my opinion out there, like you. someone else said something about if primer was mumblecore, i was responding to that. but to stay on topic, are there any promising mumblecore films other than 'the...

ok?

:yes: very clever....

you want to know your characters and the theme. the plot will create itself when you mix it all together. plot isnt that important anyway, unless you're writing a hollywood blockbuster.

and i'll have to disagree, Primer was no good. imo

they are all worth watching. the ones that i have seen, and really enjoyed are julien donkey-boy by harmony korine (my hero) Dancer in the Dark by lars von trier the celebration by thomas vinterberg (amazing) primer is not mumblecore. neither is el mariachi. the puffy chair is. four eyed...

mumblecore is not like all the other indie films. and independant film is making a movie for cheap and with little resources. mumblecore is like a sub-genre of indie. a lot of the filmmakers in the mumblecore movement are friends. they help each other make their movies. all the actors in the...

i wouldnt worry about it. i dont see a 14 page amateur short script being the next 'avatar'. I don't think he wants it to be.

i didnt read all the responses so sorry if i repeat, but i would look for some sort of film club or something in your area. and instead of working your ass off for a year to make 10 grand for equipment, i would recommend spending your time learning a skill like writing, editing, lighting, or...
