My question is why do you need 8-10 shots per scene? What kind of scenes are you shooting? Do you have a large number of characters in each scene? Are you including pick-up shots in this number? I would think about scaling back the number of shots if you're concerned about time. Or else be...

You might add "crescendo" to your search, as that what it sounds like to me...

H44, it seems to me like you're trying to make a silk purse from a sow's ear. You're worried about things as if you're working on a multi-million dollar budget film, when in fact, you have little to no budget. You need to learn how to work within the constraints you are given and make the best...

I'm not usually a shmuck for these kinds of things, but this was pretty inventive and very cool... http://vimeo.com/42828824

Maybe I read the OP wrong. I thought he was talking about double spacing all the action. And to get back to the orginal question at hand, I know when I first started to write scripts, I was VERY heavy handed in the writing. And by that I mean I was trying to direct the film on the page. I...

And a big reason why screenplays are formatted that way is that, as a rule of thumb, you can count on 1 page of the script equaling about 1 minute of screen time...

I think you mean the single spacing is the correct format. Double spacing is not normally used...

If you followed that format, then it should be formatted correctly. Double spacing is not normal for screenplays. But then again, you could write it in crayon as long as the story and writing are good enough...

No. That's not how you format a script. Go here: http://www.scriptfrenzy.org/howtoformatascreenplay

:lol::lol::lol: Brick, are you just looking at things in the office and saying that you love them?? :yes:

Why do you guys have to be like that? The guy is asking for help. If you're not interested, just don't post. No need to be rude... OP, send me a copy if you'd like. LasVegasIRA at yahoo dot com

Another good way is to film your actors inside the car but with a green screen behind them and you can add the background driving footage in post. You can controll the environment much more easily this way. Here's a good tutorial showing you one way of doing it...

There are ways around having to use a police car. Red and blue flashing lights will always conjur thoughts of a police car even if you don't see it. You could also use stock footage along with the use of close ups to sell the idea... Use your imagination and you can make it work. Or, if all...

Making shots look interesting has very little to do with the camera used. Shot composition is the key. Watch your favorite films where you like the look of the shots used and try to deconstruct them. That will give you a better understanding as to why certain shot look good while others don't...

I agree that you should find someone else to do the ADR, but I disagree that you need to have them redo all the dialogue. If what you're describing (as far as what has to be dubbed) is accurate, just find someone to dub those things. That's been done millions of times for tv edits of movies and...

If you want to keep it in modern times, I would forget the lynch mob and have your protagonist do something to piss off a local gang. Then your mob will be gang members that don't care about what the law says...

You should be able to get previous versions of the firmware from Canon's website. Then look to see how to reset you camera to original factory settings, and re-install whichever version you like...

Another instant classic! Keep 'em coming... Might I suggest, It's Wonderful Life? "Merry Christmas, movie house!" ... etc

Can you set the story in the past? Lynch mobs were a more common thing 100 years ago...

If they're true producers, they will know that the lighting is not the job of the director. They won't think less of your directorial abilities because of it. Maybe your DP won't get any work from this short, but if your choice of shots, angles, and cuts are good, a producer will see this. Stop...
