    D&D fans in screenwriting/filmmaking - helpful or disaster?

    Yeah, sounds like your experiences are very specific to the crowd you've met. I've been playing d&d for about 25 years now, and have met a wide variety of people doing it. It's impossible to lump them in to a single group, other than liking d&d! But still, they might have had a point. If...

    D&D fans in screenwriting/filmmaking - helpful or disaster?

    I am comfortable with this. By the by, mussonman, if you do decide to do a D&D parody series, I'm in for music. Would recommend watching the ones out there first (The Gamers/JourneyQuest, Monday Knights, Standard Action, etc)

    D&D fans in screenwriting/filmmaking - helpful or disaster?

    Okay, this thread seems tailor made for me, so let's take a look... No, I think most D&D fans know the difference between taste and opinion. In that we know many of the movies we love kinda suck. Not at all. Hell, we can't even agree over what D&D rules are the best (I like 3e, but with a...

    series Syfy is looking for new series.

    the joke isn't really accurate because there is FAR more female nudity. Almost to a comical extreme. But, yeah, the show (and the books) are very character driven with lots of political drama. It doesn't want for action, but the seasons seem paced like a single piece, rather than per episode...

    What are you working on?

    Since the thread has been bumped, it's summer now, who's shooting? I'm finishing a score for CamVader, next week is 48hfp (though haven't heard from the team in a while). Also working on some experimental-style videos for an album I just finished (sending off for reviews/plays right now, but...

    Is hiring an editor necessary?

    And speaking from team music, I agree with everything Alcove and APE have said! I've done just enough audio post/foley to know that I'm not very good at it! Crazy resepect for you guys that are!

    Game of Thrones on VHS...80s Style

    Ha! I love it! I would still love the show, though as you said, thank god for budget and taste! Reminds me of this (which I haven't seen in ages, but I now feel compelled to chase down a copy of) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdWDudfObIU

    series Syfy is looking for new series.

    Seconding more Farscape. Yes, please. Blade Runner is a pretty interesting world to set a series in too, though it'd be easy to get caught in a redundant "catch the replicant of the week" pattern if it wasn't done right. Which reminds me, I used to love the Logan's Run tv show (they keep...

    series Syfy is looking for new series.

    Right on! That's exactly what I had in my head! Elminster would be perfect as a "central" character because, well, he is! Let's get money and make this happen.

    series Syfy is looking for new series.

    The Salad Fingers show: skeeving everyone out for an hour at a time! I like it! And, exactly on both counts, mussonman! Start with Drizzt (since he's the most popular character by far), follow characters crossing into some of the major story events in FR (Pool of Radiance, the Avatar trilogy...

    series Syfy is looking for new series.

    I should also mention I have the D&D cartoon on dvd (as well as some old vhs bootlegs before it was available) and I remember the Dragon's Lair tv series, so I'm dating myself just as badly! Beatlesfan, the lore is not only incredibly complex, but there are many different worlds/settings in...

    series Syfy is looking for new series.

    Last I heard, there was talk about doing another theatrical film. It can't be worse than the first one! Which, for certain values of entertainment, by which I mean Jeremy Irons Shatnering up the place... Anyway, since the movie rights are no longer with SyFy (not sure if they were directly...

    series Syfy is looking for new series.

    I have said this before, but there are two projects I'd really love to see SyFy develop: 1) Charles de Lint's Newford. For those not familar, Newford is the fictional city where de Lint sets most of his urban fantasy short stories and novels in. There are a ton of reoccuring characters...

    Dubbed vs. Subbed

    If I'm sitting down and focusing on it, subtitled all the way. If I'm doing other things (which I usually am these days), I'm okay with a good dub. Of course, if you've watched something subbed, watching the dub is always a little weird! I'm rewatching Death Note right now, since Netflix just...

    How big will you make it?

    3 feature scores, a good dozen short films, a handful of commercials, some odd jobs (haunted houses, web promo videos, intro music for metal bands). Haven't tried doing any video game work, but that's on my list of things to attempt! Currently finishing up a short film score for IT member...

    How big will you make it?

    I don't want to work a dayjob. I want to do what I love and pay the rent. I don't want to be rich and famous. If I could make a living doing music for made-for-tv movies where most audience members won't notice, let alone care about the music, that's great! I think I have a long way to go...

    The Unofficial Song of the Day Thread

    since we were talking about lucid dreaming in another thread... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhat-xUQ6dw (hey, any song that samples Hellraiser 2 is okay in my book) unrelated note, SWANS ON THURSDAY!

    Any Chinese star that is not a martial arts star?

    To Live! I've been trying to think of the name of that movie for ages! I loved that movie! Watched it a long time ago with a friend who had a crush on Gong Li, so I think we watched just about every film she was in. To Live was my favorite.

    Is Inception underrated?

    I had a Nova Dreamer in high school! It's more an exercise tool than the sort of device from the Nova Next article. The new thing is talking about hitting the brain with electricity; the ND just flashes a red light when it detects REM, still leaving it up to you to train yourself that the red...

    The First 5 Minutes of 10,000 Movies

    Absolutely beautiful! Sort of disappointed that they didn't layer all the sound too, which would have made a wonderful blurry mess. Of course not...not in the first five minutes...that's hardly time for the pizza to get there!
