"What an asshole!" When Annoying Brian was a contender in the last ITOOFC, I downloaded and watched it like everyone else. AB is the only one sill on my hard drive. I watch it once of twice a month and still laugh like the first time I saw it. Yeah, I voted for it (Sorry it didn't win), but...

True, but doesn't a director 'direct' the scene to achieve a specific visual style of the film? Many directors work with the editor (unfortunately, some do not). The director has a vision and working with the editor to achieve that vision is ultimately the director's responsibility. I didn't...

I'll drive up to Blockbuster tonight. Thanks for letting us know!

I'm no expert on directing styles, but I know what I like. :) There's a few movies that I liked but I thought the directing was horrendous (lets call them guilty pleasures), but let's set those aside for now to directly answer your question on what defines a good director. ----- IMHO, a good...

I agree. He's an even bigger visionary. But aside from who I may think is a good or bad director, I'm a firm believer that if there was only one person behind the camera for a production of any significant size, nothing would get done. A crew exists for a very distinct reason: Because no one...

Joy just picked up the DVD for me today. It was INCREDIBLE. I wrote up a little something about it in the blog section.

No, but they are film fanatics like I am. :D

Personal feelings aside on who I like/dislike as a director, I still feel that a director is not the only person responsible for the entire show. Take a look at these examples: 1962: Lawrence of Arabia; David Lean, Director; Freddie Young, DP. 1968: 2001 A Space Odyssey; Stanley Kubrick...

Everyone has one. You know, an opinion... An ongoing argument I've had with my friends for years now has escalated to a boiling point and I wanted to get some opinions from Indietalk subscribers. I'm asking because I value your input. The argument is this: Is Peter Jackson (of Lord of the...

Archive.org has a truly incredible library of free/public domain/creative commons - licensed music available to download. This is where I get most of my music. You can literally spend days looking through all the categories of tunes.

I'd rather have the theatrical release for the following reasons: Your film title on the marquee against the cold glow of florescent lighting (Don't forget to take a picture) You can say you had a genuine theatrical run (This may get you future work) The PRIDE of accomplishing something few in...

I second that. "Everything but the camera."

I've been working on a vampire script now for years. It's currently 300+ pages and is the culmination of my life's work. When the script is complete (someday!) and I come into some cash to shoot it, I've decided to shoot the whole thing and release two distinct parts.

Just my $0.02; take with a grain of salt, your mileage may vary... Contests rule. * I would like to see the return of one of the previous contests where we are given two or three things to include in the final production (previously there was a baseball cap and a knife) so that we can create...

Two friends of mine who are going asked me to go. I declined for obvious reasons. I'd love to go since Terry Brooks is supposed to be there...

Good luck on your pilot!!

I've heard all sorts of stories about the budget over Blair Witch, but the only one that sounds legit is the majority of it was for the video to film conversion. From what I hear (and I personally have not investigated it, although many have said to me) that it's expensive as hell. Can anyone...

Well, at least The Blair Witch Project had the Hi8 camera... But then again, they had a $60,000 budget grossed $248,639,099 worldwide. Yes, was the exception to the rule. :D

Personally, I love extras. The more the better. Especially commentary tracks. I love listening to the director (or someone else on the track) say things like "Watch the left side of the screen where you catch the soundman holding the boom" or "This is where I tripped over a cord and that's why...

As soon as the stores open on November 6th, I'll be first in line for a copy!!
