    Never seen it. Will check it out. Wow, I will be watching a lot of movies. Terminator, Castaway, No country for old men, and revisiting the Walking dead.

    editing Ambient Noise ONLY - Music when Essential to Plot

    I am doing it because my vision has always been to create something powerful enough to elicit emotion without being sonically overpowering. That said, I am still going to be prepping a back up, just in case it doesn't work out the way I plan. Currently I have a blues musician and ab R&B singer...

    editing Ambient Noise ONLY - Music when Essential to Plot

    That is exactly what I would like to do. I am going to be writing a sound script to go along with my shooting script. We have a guy in mind to do it, if we can afford him. As a back up we have a house party DJ with some production experience. It mainly will come down to the kickstarter I am...

    editing Ambient Noise ONLY - Music when Essential to Plot

    Dance club or Band would have music playing. If we walked into a bar with music blaring it would be quiet outside with faintly heard noise from inside. When the door opened you would hear it at a lower mid level. In the middle of the club it would be loud.

    editing Ambient Noise ONLY - Music when Essential to Plot

    I noticed a couple scenes on the Walking dead and the Walking Dead video game. I will have to watch Castaway. I think the most important thing for me will be mapping out a sound plan for each scene, so I know exactly what I am trying to accomplish.

    editing Ambient Noise ONLY - Music when Essential to Plot

    I have been toying around with the idea of doing a movie with no background music, unless it is essential to the story. Essential: Clara turns on a radio or the characters walk into a noisy club. We are so used to being drowned in music that I am not sure how I could pull it off using just...

    Tips on Directing Amateur Actors?

    It is every important for each actor to really listen. A lot of times an actor can get flustered trying to deliver lines on cue. The best thing for them to do is listen not for when they are supposed to speak, but to hear the tonality of the voice, watch the body language of the other actor...

    That's cool, just try to keep it more or less the same size of the header for search engine optimization purposes. Google penalizes websites that go too far below the fold. They want the information as close to the top/center of the page as possible. http://dangertheatre.com/ has a more...

    No Storyboard, No Shot List Directors

    It really depends on your crew. Experienced crew = Shot list and storyboard optional. With Novices, you better have as much stuff as possible. I shot "Griffin and Gretchen" without either. It was pretty smooth, but I know it would have been more crisp with visual aids. We ended up getting...

    Yes, that is exactly how it works. I may change the positioning of it, but once content starts being updated I will do that anyway. Advertising is a bit tricky. I used $100 and $50 coupons for advertising Google and FB. It went no where in google. I may have gotten a thousand views...

    Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow...

    Eventually, things start to even out. People get better. Equipment gets upgraded. Cousin Timmy is replaced by Mordecei the strange, but competent, professional. Trust me, it makes a difference.

    Social Brain Wave: News

    I agree on it being its own entity. And it makes sense for the members included, but to content viewers it may just seem like a weird name for a collection of unrelated material (No General theme). I thought about building it into a small Facebook clone also. Still, it is a PR3 in terms of...

    Social Brain Wave: News

    Thanks. I am wondering if Social Brain Wave should be more of a forum or Social Network of content marketers with DangerTheatre.com as the page featuring the videos. SBW sounds more like a society of free thinkers with DT as the fruit of their dangerous alliance.

    MPAA: Why Sex Is Worse Than Violence

    This is exactly why we view sex as more taboo. We are not all going out on murder sprees. When it happens in reality it is so horrific it sends chills down our spines and makes us call for action. After a while, though, that feeling dissipates. A new movie comes out. A celebrity dies...
