    Simple: How do you write a script :(

    And that is the best way to look at it if you have yet to write a screenplay. There are many approaches to the craft and there isn't one method which is easiest for all. My recommendation is to write your first one the best way you can (meaning format, structure, dialogue, length, etc.). And...

    XL-2 vs XM-2

    Well looking at the information on the xm2, it seems like most of the information is coming from Europe. So I don't really think it has been released in the states (?). If so I guess it never caught on or something. But taking a look at the images of the gear, well it looks like the lens is...

    Where to get ideas for a film?

    I've worked solo and with teams, once I worked with a team of 7 on a script. I agree that brainstorming with others can be effective, but there is a large learning curve when working with a team. Many writers have issues with large egos getting in their way. I'm even working with a couple...

    Where to get ideas for a film?

    Brainstorming is the greatest tool you have to come up with an idea. Write down every and anything that comes to mind about the subject you choose. Then start to connect the dots how you see fit. But I hope you don't mind me quoting you on something, but I couldn't resist. Some how this...

    Where or where have the bad guys gone?

    I would agree with UC. At this point in time of the film his good, late wife cleaned him of all the evil he had done in the past. The justice he did at the bar was justified by what Little Bill did to English Bob, Ned and how he controlled the town (and visitors) like a dictator. Munny even...

    Why Ebert Hates 3-D

    3D unhealthy for young children, warns Nintendo According to Nintendo boss Reggie Fils-Aime, entering the next gaming dimension might not be a great idea for all players. Speaking to Kotaku during the E3 2010 conference, Fils-Aime warned that very young children shouldn't play 3D systems --...

    archived-videos An absurdist dark comedy about a guy who wakes up to the weirdest day of his life.

    I enjoyed the story you have here. I really like how you got LOTS of extras to help you. The acting seemed fine throughout and great locations. I suspect you did a lot of work in pre-production. Here are a few things which I noticed and didn't care for. - Shower/bathroom scene was a bit...

    Where or where have the bad guys gone?

    More so. The voyeur audience will always focus on a good bad guy more so then the good because it's something they will never do but always interested in. As for bad guys being gone? I don't think so, you are just getting use to the standard bad guy in most Hollywood films (or even shorts)...

    the most difficult job in any film making?

    I would say the person who splices film together is a tedious job. I wanna say the job title is the conformist but I may be wrong with that. Also, not sure if they are still performing this with all the technical advances but that was the job no one wanted and paid really well if you did it...

    REMAKES??? AGAIN? I MEAN, AGAIN, AGAIN?!!

    And I agreed, in my first (or second?) post I did say there are 20 million independent films (and yes, Star Wars, too). ROC for some reason believed I stated money was the only reason for independent films. Why? Well only he (or she) can explain that. From the post I'm speaking of --...

    REMAKES??? AGAIN? I MEAN, AGAIN, AGAIN?!!

    Why the different tone ROC? I thought I was some dumb teenager whose mom gave me a video camera and posts them on youtube. "Sarcasm" I smell back peddling. :lol:

    REMAKES??? AGAIN? I MEAN, AGAIN, AGAIN?!!

    I did? Funny, I thought I quoted the Webster dictionary twice to show what the word "independent" means. Now if a film is made with a bunch of cash, I'm gonna wonder who is involved when it's called "independent". Kind of like when Politician gets money for their campaign, I guess by your...

    Most def., I don't want a $100,000 to be bunched in with ROC's 20 million dollar "independent" films.
