    I will first start by say I really liked it. Watched it twice to first see what it was all about and I kind of couldn't wait to see again but this time to find issues. Scene @ :36 -> :52. Some might not like the shot set up because of the left of the screen. But for some reason I really...

    online screenwriting courses

    "Regarding the course it is a eight week course and there is a tutor attached to the course . He got a lot of credentials . I am planning to purchase The script writers bible and thanks all for your wonderful suggestions" It's hard to say but 8 week course would be good to get the basics down...

    Why Ebert Hates 3-D

    "I'm not using the box-office take as a measure of success, or proof that the movie is awesome." From earlier posts -- "I'm sorry, but you are absolutely clueless about analyzing box office results if you think "Avatar" made 2.7 Billion dollars because of advertising." "What you really want...

    online screenwriting courses

    This sounds good. My first question to Padnar, what are you getting for $250? Is it was two hour online class? Is it an eight week course which takes you through every aspect of writing? Is there support from like a teacher whom will help if you have questions? If I may ask, please...

    archived-videos Sci-fi short starring Brian Blessed

    "We had two days, and not particularly long days at that. About 8 hours shooting each." Extremely impressive short for a two day shoot. "don't get me started on how beautiful my title sequence was going to be!" Sure, but the title sequence you had was fine, I thought it was clever how you...

    Why Ebert Hates 3-D

    "If Richard Linkletter (I can spell his name) or David Fincher directed it, would that be as hyped?" DING, DING, DING, DING! We have a winner! Also...... If I took a dump in the toilet and threw a half of billion dollars in marketing (commercials, toys, clothes, etc., etc.) to tell the world...

    How do you keep going?

    "I can understand making one bad movie I mean who doesn't have a bad day once in a while. But to make several that no one seems to enjoy. When is it enough?" Again, all a matter of opinion. I'm a huge fan Russ Meyer, Ed Wood and Herschell Gordon Lewis (and I can go on) and I can also enjoy a...

    How do you keep going?

    "How do you keep going?" It's called passion. Also, getting someone's opinion is just that, an opinion.

    archived-videos Garden of Eva, a short film made for 48HOURS contest NZ

    Job well done. A few things to note but good all around film. @ :53 is that equipment in the shot? I have to say yes since it didn't show up in any other shots before it. Also, she is sitting in front of a window and nothing is there to explain it. Besides that, good beginning and good...

    archived-videos Short Comedy Film: There Is A Party, Everyone Is There

    Funny little film. I'm not wild about the IM in the beginning and it was really hard to read. Also, when I watch a movie I really want to watch it and not read (unless it's subtitled). Lighting in the bedroom could be better. The outside light was over powering in the room. Also, the wall...

    Silly little story. Good to see you folks are having fun making it. Not too sure why the zombie got hurt/pain when he threw boiling water was thrown on it.

    archived-videos Will o' the Wisp

    Part III - Pill scene seemed to go on too long but I understand you had narration during this entire time. Wish you could have captured something with addition to the pill scene during this time. Maybe something with the camera so you foreshadowed its importance later. No pills in the when...

    archived-videos Sci-fi short starring Brian Blessed

    Fantastic! I will give comments on what I thought could be better, but in all it doesn't matter because this one worked. I must ask, what was the budget because this wasn't small potatoes? First, I can't believe how small the screen was on your website. If this is suppose to show off your...

    archived-videos Short film shot on a Canon 550D DSLR, Kit lenses - Two Timer

    Pretty good and clever story. Probably one of the best of the litter of what I've seen (thus far) dealing with these 48 hour film things. Maybe some minor issues of placement of talent in the frame. A little bounce light would have helped those shadows at the restaurant. Sound was fine and...

    archived-videos Easter Special! "Those Burritos Suck"

    I liked and laughed several times. All the statements above I would agree with and I would say continuity could have been better. But hell, you guys, and girl, were just having fun. When is the next one?

    Part II Still liking it. I would still say the moving of the camera 20 degrees would have been better but what you did works in this film. Footage was fine and I like all the effects. When they are speaking after running I didn't care for the continuity of your actor's actions. Her...

    archived-videos The Queen's Gambit - Short Film

    "but you do realise we only had 48 hours to write, shoot and cut this film right? So the level of perfection you're getting at is extremely hard to achieve." Like I said in the long drummer (I think that's the title), a recent post in this same thread, I don't understand the reasoning behind...

    archived-videos Will o' the Wisp

    Part I I liked it. Some of the mistakes I'm going to say I feel you could also get away with because of the type of piece it is. So take it for what it's worth. @ .29 into .33 and same with .53 into .56, you kept the camera at the same angle when making those cuts. They need to move at...

    archived-videos Longdrummer - he may not drum great, but he drums long!

    "we made in 48 hours as part of the 48HOURS Film Competition" Not wild about these types of competitions but I gave this movie a go and it's pretty good. A lot of boring shots but the timing of each shot and the type of story allowed it. Also a clever little story and I would comment on the...
