    How to create the essential Hero

    Also, how much more backstory do you need if you're basing your story on a real-life human being. Say, a good friend of yours, or even someone you know of and studied, but never knew.

    lighting Lighting for my first short, "Madness"

    Yes, but if I am trying to show the actor in a darker, scary imagine of the main characters insanity, wouldn't it be a good idea to have a silhouette type of lighting going on?

    Brainstorming

    it's an awesome idea. but you always want to have drama high-key. Drama = conflict. and without conflict there is no drama, without drama there is no story and without story, there is no character

    lighting Lighting for my first short, "Madness"

    lol, you're right. My same buddy who told me it will take me a year minimum to get decent at editing told me this, but he doesn't have any experience actually doing it. I should quit asking him for advice.... I figured he was right before and a student i.d. would be proof enough for some cops...

    Thanks for the input.... I know it varies with everyone how long it takes to learn anything, but I just wanted to figure out how long it took all of you to get familiar with the software. I brought up my buddy who said it would take anyone a year to get decent with it to prove to myself that...

    I've heard police tend to be more lenient on student filmmakers than indie filmmakers. If telling them that can save me from a $100-$200 fee, I have to do it.

    How did you become an Indie Filmmaker?

    very nice scoop. I saved up cash and bought a super 8mm when I was 12. The teachers at my catholic school confiscated it at a field trip when we visited the rock and roll hall of fame when I was 13 since two girls flashed us and they saw us taping it. They wouldn't let me have my camera back or...
