Hey thanks, great suggestions. (I hadn't thought of the DOF but immediately visualized it when I read it.) That's really good, do you want to help me write it? The announcer having a thinly veiled hatred for cats might be something fun to run with. (thanks for the link too by the way, I've...

I should say that page 3 didn't load for some reason, so I only read eighteen pages. >.< But as I recall I missed something between the introduction of the terrorists and what's his name introduced as a teacher. (sorry, I should have mentioned that in the first post) If the daughter was the...

Why in gods name have I never thought of that? I'm a reasonably intelligent person. I'm computer literate. Sheesh, sometimes I amaze myself.

Seems like I remember hearing someone was making this right now.. or recently. Someone good, but I can't remember who. Thought I remember hearing rumours of Leonardo DiCaprio starring. Weird how everyone mentions adaptations - the first thing that popped into my head is an adaptation. (of a...

That's kind of the way you have to do it, unless you're feeling brave or experimental.. (which now that I think about it - using strictly on set sound sounds like an interesting way to make a movie.. ) I'm assuming you're adding the audio later, right? Speaking of out of control, a beach seems...

I see what you mean about empire.. wow.. This is where I scratch my head for a while and try and watch for the pattern in my own favorite movies..

Hey, not bad. I would say the structure works.. what is being said works.. I personally would rewrite most of the dialogue.. making it all say the same thing in the same places, just in different words. The dialogue is coherent and it's consistent stylistically, but it's just not the way I wold...

Hmm.. well. I don't know. Do what feels right. ::insert shrug::

hmm.. I don't remember Vegas before video.. but then I don't think I knew what MIDI was at the time.. I got into it somewhere between when computers were used for sequencing MIDI for remote samplers and when multi-tracking audio became feasible.. but it's all rather vague because I was just...

Ah, I keep almost Checking out IP Man.. now I'll have to.. The Perfect Host - David Hyde Pierce was pretty damn phenomenal. It might have benefited from losing ten minutes or so in the middle, but.. if you've EVER watched "Frasier" - check out this movie. Slither - Low budget horror movie fun...

Hey, so I'm about to do an infomercial spoof in a few weeks and before I jump in to the deep end (of the old google search) in research, I thought I'd ask around here if anyone had any pointers, experience, advice (or direction to information) about how these infomercials are created.. Off the...

Right, that was the one thing I was thinking.. unless you're going road tripping into a desert somewhere, it might be difficult to find a reasonable amount of silence. Where is this character yelling from and to? Maybe the ambient noise will be beneficial? I seem to remember mention being made...

Just in case the obvious was overlooked - can you use another room? John Favrou's "Dinner for Five" was fantastic, and it was in a kitchen. (well, on a set.. but visually it's doable if the sound is alright.) You could get into bed and under the covers with your guests. You could shoot it from...

I like option 1, and get rid of the back story. I think it's more interesting and dramatic that Leon may be in over his head. If we think he may be trained to handle the highwaymen, than we're not as concerned that he's up against them. That and the butchering of the scouting party escalates...

I'm going to suggest the far recording option.. probably not as far from the mic as the image might suggest.. But a measured distance (provided you've got a decent condenser mic and a decent signal to noise ratio with your recorder) with some volume manipulation will sound natural quicker than...

I second richy.. I can't think of anything else at the moment. I did kind of notice that in inglourious basterds though.. But I took something different from it - namely that Tarantino isn't afraid to hang out with his characters for a while. The scene in the restaurant with the desert.. PURE...

Good posts Alcove. (the first two or three - I didn't read the whole thread.) Kinda makes me wish I was learning it all again for the first time. :) Sony Vegas evolved from Acid? Or from Soundforge? (Sony did buy sonic foundry at some point, right?) I remember playing with acid when they did...

If you want to put a couple of the top contenders or your favorites as a reel up on soundcloud (or some other streaming site) than I'll gladly offer an opinion. (I'm not able to download big-ish files right now.) Without hearing anything I would say the practical advice would be to put the six...

Don't know.. I know it CAN be done, but I don't think it's something that can be done cheaply or easily. If it were me, I'd either find a way to do a reshoot now, Do a reshoot in a few months, change the scene and reshoot, or give up on the single shot idea, shoot some coverage, and make it...
