    This was a really great short. I believe many have gone over what I'm going to say but here I go. - Excellent establish shot. - The jury on the lighting is out. I'm not sure if I like it was too dark at times or not. I wouldn't mind at all if you threw a tab bit more light on things...

    archived-videos No Offense < A New Comedy!

    This short wasn't a bad little sketch comedy. I did feel that it went on a little too long. But for something which didn't take too long to make I think you folks did a good job.

    archived-videos Who Wants Seconds

    Not a bad little film you made there but here are s few things which stuck out at me which I didn't care for. - Beginning lighting a little dark but I like the attempt. I just wish the blue wasn't so deep. - Montage @ 1:30 -> 1:48 could have been better from different angles or at least from...

    A Little Help With A Scene

    What he is saying is key when writing a screenplay when trying to sell it to Hollywood. I would take everything he says and break it down in your script so you understand why he is making those comments. I think it is very kind that you shared this with the entire community and hopefully it...

    A Little Help With A Scene

    :beer: Awwww.....Shucks. And I hope you can accept my apology for riding you so hard in my last post. I suspect you read a lot of material and give valid feedback when ever you can. I do understand spec scripts don't have to be perfect and there are many of ways to approach a screenplay...

    Seperate audio vs recording straight to dv tape.

    Thanks AA, that will help me out a bunch. I was hoping to see if there was a mic out there for ambient sound which would have been cheap but well made. But I guess I will be spending a few saw bucks. I will be looking into the the recording devises which you have considered. As for the...

    A Little Help With A Scene

    I totally know what you mean, it happens to all of us.......Well, maybe not for "professional" readers. Thats why it's important to have so many different eyes take a look at your script. I had a feeling there was more to it, good job of the usuage of dialogue if I was able to figure that out...

    A Little Help With A Scene

    Like I said, I might be old school but to me action is where you put ACTION of what we are seeing on the screen, not slug lines. For me it breaks my thought and now I'm not reading YOUR story. Personal opinion, like I said. INT. LA COUNTY, OFFICE - EVENING From the beige walls hang pictures...

    A Little Help With A Scene

    - This bit of dialogue seems conflicting and confused me. VALE Leave me alone. ETHAN Suit yourself. I’m sorry Vale. Seems like Ethan has a split personality thus far. But of course I don't know the characters at this point. - Is this from your novel? This is a lot of action to read in a...

    Tarantino/Nolan/Hughes influcenced screenplay

    Film is a visual media and heavy dialouge is a red flag for me. Not to say there are not good movies out there with heavy dialouge but they are few and far between. I will respond again if I read the first 10 pages.

    Best Use of VO?

    I was going to say the same thing and use American Beauty as an example.

    Seperate audio vs recording straight to dv tape.

    SOUND QUESTIONS Two questions. When working with film it was easy to record sound, a Nagra would help with all your sound needs out in the field. But now I'm venturing into the world of video to play with the equipment this new world has to offer and I've got a question and also note, I'm...

    The film that most inspired you?

    Might not be the most inspirational but it is on the top of my list of best of all time. I guess it's because I'm kind of jealous because it's the type of film I always wanted to make and Harmony did it perfect before I could. But it does inspire me to do the best I can for trashness. Please...

    I just finished my first full-length feature screenplay.

    To be honest Padnar, it should be like an ultra high budget script. Or a medium low budget. Or mid to upper level high budget film. Or a no budget feature film. Meaning, the screenwriting format should all look the same from script to script. That is why they set up certain rules in...

    I just finished my first full-length feature screenplay.

    Overboard? Hell no, it is a standard and SHOULD be followed. If people don't know this then they need to start learning how to write a screenplay before shooting it. I like 6 months so I'm really fresh. I have to admit, after reading this thread I'm a bit nervous about reading anything...

    I just finished my first full-length feature screenplay.

    In the title of your post you stated that you JUST FINISHED your script. If true and you are going to start shooting in a month and a half may I state that you might be setting yourself up for failure? Why not let others look at it and do rewrites first. Are you going to get all the...

    archived-videos Dead Infection - Opening Sequence

    The echoing of the crying is a great effect, would have started off softer and then got louder as they got closer (Note: didn't see Left 4 Dead which another person mentioned). Music thus far is fine. Nice creepy shot @:40. Nice effects with the head getting blown off but I would go back and...

    I think it's great that you folks made this little feature. I too enjoyed it for the B style and for its kind hearted story. More on what I liked in a moment but let me point out a few things if you don't mind. :D Beginning when car came down the street you unfortunately picked up a BMW in...

    Good point, Bollywood is a different then the American film industry. So I guess you have to work with what you have around you. Good luck and continued success.

    LOW PAYMENT

    First thing first, I would kindly reject this person's offer of SELLING this script to them. First off, it sounds like a scam from the beginning since they did not offer an option to begin with. An option is where the agent or manager has FIRST option to buy the script before anyone else...
