    Fight Club?

    Firstily - Dreadylocks's comment cracked me up. Fight Club is the only movie I've seen in which I read the screen play first. So that kind of tinted it for me.. I remember being fascinated with the Dynamic between Norton and Hellena Bohnam Carter and what the twist meant to it when I first saw...

    Writing low budget action scenes.

    I believe (I may be wrong) it's written and directed by the guy that wrote "The Usual Suspects" if that means anything to you.

    Who's your dream team?

    Project/writer: Neil Gaiman's Sandman. Directors: Spielberg (the wake), Del-toro (the corinthian/various dream realm stuff), Miyazaki (a midsummer nights dream), Charlie Kaufman (don't remember the name of the story - but the one with the kid locked in the basement dreaming of his superhero...

    archived-videos Since I'm covorting with the film geeks..

    ..I figured I'd share a music video I did several years back.. First thing I'd done. I haven't really done anything since.. I did a hour-long documentary of sorts.. (it was kind of a christmas present to "folks back home" - but I thought it still came out rather well.. )...

    Writing low budget action scenes.

    not to steal the thread but there was a handful of great things about "way of the gun".. The opening "punch the girl" scene. The sperm bank "I've never killed anyone." scene. (cracks me up every time.) The Slow Chase. And maybe most importantly the fact that at the end ::SPOILER:: they don't...

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

    X-Men First Class.. 7-8/10. Had a lot of fun watching it.. everyone in it was fantastic.. but when it ended I didn't feel like I took anything away from it.. which - I mean it's a summer popcorn flick.. so to be expected.. still.. there was a strange unevenness between the fact that everyone in...

    Cheapest way to record decent narration

    I've spent the last twelve years figuring out ways to get decent sound cheaply (I'm primarily a musician) - and I've found the following: (This applies to recording on your PC and everyone has there own experiences and beliefs but here are mine) * When you're on a budget - the microphone...

    Kind of a beating.

    I don't remember either the jokes or the fight scenes really being relevant to the film at all.. I tried to watch The Idiot - but I'm such a huge fan of the book that it just made me want to read it again..

    Writing low budget action scenes.

    Firstly - I agree with Kohli.. he said pretty much what I was going to say. I also agree with something someone else said about people taking you more seriously after they work with you. (but I totally know how difficult it is to get your foot in that door.) I personally am a huge proponent of...

    Free Short Film Scripts

    I've written a couple of (short) feature-length screen-play's, and a novella. I'm not competing for oscars any time soon, but if you want to shoot me an email with what you have to work with, preferred genre, and how short "short" is - I'd be interested in taking a swing at writing something for...

    Making a Music Video

    One of the few credits to my name was actually a performance music video. We played the music over a stereo and the guitarist/bassist played with their amps off. Make sure you record the live on spot audio too - for syncing with the studio track. For the drums I had the drummer put an earphone...

    A chunk of Creative Commons music for anyone that might want to use it.

    Hi. This isn't quite the usual composer available thread, but it amounts to the same thing. I'm not offering future composition (though I'm available for that as well) so much as I'm offering the use of what I've already done. Basically everything at the following links Is music I've...

    Jola.. or uh.. Aloha.

    Hi. It was stated I should introduce myself if I'm going to "promote". So here I am. I'd love to say I'm going to stick around and be a productive and Contributive member of the forums - but in the twelve years I've spent staring at computer screens I've found that that is rarely the case. But...

    Possibly complicated legal question about fictitious documentary

    Thanks for the quick responses. the idea was inspired by the website "someoneoncetoldme.com" the genuinely funny, heartbreaking, and beautiful real stories from virtually anonymous people is central to the idea.. (well really, it IS the idea) the fictitious subject is secondary, but I thought...
