    character Do I need permission for a character to reference a real life court case?

    As long as you GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT I don't see why you couldn't reference a real-life court case. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJuXIq7OazQ

    I listened to a commentary track..

    Great question, I'd also love to know what are some of the best commentaries to listen to for filmmaking tips and advice. I listened to the start of the 'Elf' one earlier which had some good tips for shooting forced perspectives. I really wish Spielberg would go back and re-release all his...

    movies What's the last film you watched? And rate it!

    Yeah, that is the Australian film that won most of the big awards here earlier this year. Haven't seen it yet myself (have heard mixed reviews from friends) I thought that 'controversy' was so ridiculous. There were people saying it was racist the way the three girls were shafted to the back...

    Favourite Film Composer(s)

    Ennio Morricone, primarily for his westerns. John Williams for Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Scindlers, Jurassic Park, ET, etc, etc,etc. Also the 'Back to the Future' soundtrack is pretty awesome too! Oh, and 'The Third Man'. Can't remember the composers name off my head, but it's maybe my favourite...

    Characters with quirks.

    Character quirks could sometimes be the result of an actor wanting to get 'inside his characters head'. I once had an actor ask if his character could always have peanuts which he carries and nibbles on, because he felt it suited his character and it would help his performance. I didn't object...

    What's a good camera with a good autofocus?

    Haha, I was actually wondering whether or not he had any more films. I could definitely see him as a recurring character, offering up his opinion on all sorts of different subjects (Uncle Dick at the zoo, Uncle Dick buys a car, etc, etc) :lol:

    I'm really looking forward to this one. Looks cool.

    movies What's the last film you watched? And rate it!

    To be honest the only other one I've seen is "The Virgin Spring", but I'd definitely recommend it. It came a couple of years later, but stars Max Von Sydow again and asks questions about religious beliefs so to me they kind of feel like a trilogy of sorts (though I don't think Bergman wrote this...

    movies What's the last film you watched? And rate it!

    Agreed. I love when the two guys go off to fight over whether or not there's a God, and when they return to the car the girl just says: "So, does God exist?" That line cracks me up every time. I can't believe Bergman made this and "The Seventh Seal" in the same year. Most filmmakers would work...

    What's a good camera with a good autofocus?

    Well, the girl crushing the can with her boob is probably going to be about as helpful to him as any actual advice anyway. Probably more so.

    What's a good camera with a good autofocus?

    :lol: Ohhh man, if it's not one thing it's another!!! :lol: Have you considered some form of laser eye-surgery? If your actor is willing you could have an innovative procedure done so that no amount of lights you shine at him will cause him to squint on camera. Hell, you could even shoot the...

    What's a good camera with a good autofocus?

    Wait, so you already have a camera, and you have two friends willing to lend you cameras, but you're considering buying/renting another one??? In the last thread you started you asked about auto-focus, and got this response from Photon: You said the girl doing the shooting couldn't be...

    Writing my first screenplay

    :huh: Wow, way to be unnecessarily harsh. Cbar did say he was new to the world of screenwriting and looking for advice with his first script. He came here looking for some guidance from people who had more of a clue then himself. Give him a break. He asked a simple question, no need to shoot...

    Porn stars

    Probably would if it was a kids film. Or anything where the acting was supposed to be believable.

    Studios are not in the film biz anymore.

    Great article. Hard to argue with that, really. But hasn't it always been a big risk making movies? Why are the studios so scared now? Does it come down to piracy or is it just getting far too expensive to make movies? Or are the studios just being run by people who no longer know or care much...

    > Lo/No Budget Review

    Agreed, these reviews are great Ray. Where do you find all the films may I ask? Is it just a case of knowing what to google or are there specific websites you find them on?

    story Anyone need a story?

    Not for me personally, cops and robbers isn't really my forte. And to be honest, the fact that you got 'bored' with your own story doesn't really inspire me to want to read. Sounds to me like you do know where you want to go with it. Why not step away from it/do a bit more brainstorming and...

    Writing my first screenplay

    Hey cbar, welcome to the forums! :D I'm sure there are plenty of people here who'd be happy to give your script some feedback, but the fact is no one really wants to read an unformatted script. It'd be like offering someone a story to read but saying "I haven't put any paragraphs in yet". Not...
