    favorite What is your all time favorite movie scene?

    The fever/bathtub full of ice scene in Jacob's Ladder.. I haven't seen it in probably over a decade, but just remembering it freaks me the f**k out. Closing shot of Full Metal Jacket. (Mickey Mouse) Every single shot in Lawerence of Arabia. Every single frame. The space scenes in The...

    borrowing characters copyright.

    that almost sounds like satire.. maybe it qualifies as fair use?

    how would I do this?

    As long as you're behind the doll, or as long as you're not behind the doll? Seems like it would be more difficult if you were in shot behind..?

    What IS dubstep?

    how would I do this?

    The sticks sounds like the better option. For no better reason than manipulating the dolls with your hands is probably more likely to add unwanted deformations to the dolls themselves. (your fingers might crease clothing in unnatural ways.) The actual keying, I can't imagine making much of a...

    Hello

    I'm thinking I somehow missed that and am not clever at all. :(

    cinematography The White Knight, The Brass Ring, and the Red Camera

    "He could never be as bad as his first impression." I like that. I love Aaron Sorkin (particularly Sports Night). But I have a feeling that if I ever met him he would probably just insult me - accurately and cleverly. :) I'm a lot like that. I (mostly) won't do it unless it it's asked for...

    Thoughts on Paranonormal Activity 2.

    What are the two movies, Nate? Only one I've seen is Blair Witch and particularly for the time - (as far as I know) before viral marketing or ARG's - it's presentation was fantastic. With the Internet police footage stuff and such.. Making something cool out of very little. Plus that last scene...

    For Those Of You With Macbooks

    1 - you can take a macbook apart to clean it, but they are packed so tight in there that I don't know that there's room for any debris. 2 - Updates shouldn't make your computer run hotter.. but macs can be finicky that way.. so I guess it wouldn't hurt.. 3 - only thing I can suggest is to find...

    For Those Of You With Macbooks

    I was half expecting/hoping for this thread to continue "for those of you with macbooks - throw them away." >.< :D There have been a few around me and I've used a couple of different ones for a while. I never noticed it. I actually always thought it was weird how little ventilation they have...

    Good saying. Good Post. But - story might be the most important thing for a film, not necessarily for the career. Murdock - your avatar is intimidating me, can you tone down the aggressiveness a bit?

    Anyone agree with this article on screenwriting?

    Natural Born Killers is another one. Film is an animal. Film makers try and draw that animal. Hollywood has developed a fairly accurate depiction - A depiction that they can sell to the public pretty easily. So what they do is they look for people who can draw replicas of the Hollywood...

    Sign-off line: "I couldn't make this s**t up if I tried." :) Assuming this is for a script - what's the era? What's the era the character is from? I kind of tend to think of news anchors as worldly seen everything there is to see type characters. Might want think from the perspective of...
