    Creating a Youtube channel - Question

    Hello guys, Sorry if this is not on the right section, but most of the searches I've made on the word youtube in the forum belong to these section. I have an idea for short comedy sketches, 3 min maximum maybe. It's something in the lines of HowToBasic, but obviously a different concept...

    Questions about Mockumentaries

    Thanks for your replies! I was talking more about TV shows, like the good old "Trailer Park Boys", now "Parcs and Recreation", "Modern Family", "The Office", etc. Do you think there is any show where its use it is not necessary or not properly executed? There are some great movies though, i...

    Questions about Mockumentaries

    Hello all, First i'd like to know whats your opinion about television Mockumentaries, do you think they're overused nowdays? Do you like that style? Another question is, a Mockumentary also means that supposedly there is a filming crew present and shooting the events, correct? So let's say...

    plot Connecting plotlines in a sitcom

    Hello guys. When writing plotlines for multiple characters, do you think it's always more interesting and satisfying if the stories connect with each other? For example a story for someone trying to sell an house and another of someone trying to find a job, and find a way of connecting both so...

    Sitcom writing

    directorik i agree with you, it doesn't make much sense. I also think that about the theme, it is a "should" and not a "must". For example in Seinfeld, i dont find a specific theme about the show. Louie it's another example and like i've posted, he even said in an interview that he doesn't...

    Sitcom writing

    derek smith, by theme i mean the underlying message. directorik, thanks for your reply. He doesn't give specific examples and i also dont see examples of that, but i've mailed him about what he think it is the theme for series like The Office and Friends and he replied: "In answer to your...

    Sitcom writing

    Hello guys. So to learn more about sitcom writing, i bought a book called "The little book of Sitcom" by John Vorhaus. I haven't finished the reading yet but it's very interesting and easy to read, but there is one thing that is intriguing me. At some point of the read it comes the topic...

    Writing series

    Thanks for your reply. I think that what makes viewers come back to watch the show is the characters. But i also agree that if it's going to be about a group of people working in a company, it doesn't make sense that the pilot isn't exactly about that, it's a little weird and disjointed...

    Writing series

    Hi directorik. Thanks a lot for your reply. Reading my post again, i think i didn't explain correctly, or maybe you did answer to what i was trying to know. I wasn't talking about flashbacks or what happens before the present in the story. Let's say that the series is around a group of people...

    Writing series

    Hello again guys. Just one more thing: I remember reading somewhere that the pilot should already be about the premise and not about what happen before what the story will really be. I'm not sure but i think it was that. I didn't fully agree because that can be another way to introduce the...

    Writing series

    Hi, thanks for your reply. Similar to writing a feature, a writer should have a idea of how things will end in the story so the path to that ending can be built through the episodes. For example, if writing just the pilot and someone ask me "Ok now how will this develop now?" or "Whats your...

    Freelance jobs

    Appreciate all the replies. I think i'll have to take some time to think about it. The job is for shooting and editing. Anyway i'm far from being a skilled person and the videos i made are not that professional looking. At the level i am right now, i'd never ask for 1000$/1500$ as WhiteOpus...
