    Phantom Filmmaker Channel

    I have a YouTube Channel by the name of Phantom Filmmaker and currently the types of videos I create for this channel are very short. The majority are created from random inspiration, and some are strictly music I have created. The future plan for Phantom Filmmaker is to branch out into short...

    movies What's the last film you watched? And rate it!

    The last film I watched was the first Die Hard - 10/10 It had been quite some time since I last saw this film and I had forgotten how many funny moments there were throughout and picked up on the verbal nods to Rambo and Arnold Schwarzenegger. It still works as an action film, is still very...

    archived-videos PARANORMAL - J. E. Falk - An Encounter (Film)

    That is a fair point. The thing I wanted to get at was that I believe for a found footage film to work it has to be approached not as a film pretending to be of real footage or to even suspend an audiences disbelief. It needs to have random, unexpected occurrences happening in real time that are...

    Rambo: Last Blood

    Lol very clever Zensteve. The funny thing is that with the phone booth I thought that by entering either the year of release of any of the Rambo films or the Ghostbusters film would do something but it didn't lol but that's a good thing cause it went against my expectations.

    Antagonist Motivations

    A villain that is similar in some ways to the hero except the villain is willing to do things the hero has the capacity to do if they wanted to but they refuse to go down that path and have chosen a different more moral or ethical way of achieving their goals. Indiana Jones and Rene Belloq...

    Excellent job! Loved the atmosphere, the lighting, the mood, the music. Very atmospheric. At one point it brought to mind the gothic Hammer horror films.

    archived-videos PARANORMAL - J. E. Falk - An Encounter (Film)

    Firstly the found footage concept is difficult to pull off as the viewer already enters into it knowing they are watching something that has been written, shot and edited. The thing too with paranormal activity (referring here to the term itself not the movies) is that a lot of things like doors...

    archived-videos My new short Film

    I liked the wobbling camera as it fits the story and character. If this was a film about something uplifting or of a different theme then the wobbly camera wouldn't fit. Even if it wasn't intentional I think it suits. The wide shot of the tree was great. I think the strongest elements of this...

    A Sobering Bit of Reality

    That's exactly how I view them. If a studio finances and distributes what they dub an "indie" then it's not one. I am also of the belief that if a famous actor, director or otherwise finances a film on their own and gets it distributed, without going to a studio, I would consider that project an...

    Please ignore this post. My original response wasn't loading and I thought my net connection may have been a problem, so I re sent what I had posted so it became a second copy.

    A Sobering Bit of Reality

    Interesting article, thanks for posting it. I'm not sure what solutions there are but the part that mentioned a return to short films piqued my interest as that is the area in which I not only want to be a part of but I want to make it the function of my career. I do have ideas for features but...

    Splinter Cell Franchise

    One of Ubisoft's biggest selling and well known franchises is Splinter Cell. The series made it's debut in 2003 originally as an Xbox exclusive but eventually ported to the PS2 and Gamecube. I have been a fan since the very first game. Years prior to it's release I had played the Syphon Filter...

    story Rights for sequels - can a screenwriter continue his own story?

    Here are two examples of an original film that was a success, garnered sequels but the same creative people involved in the first film remained for the sequels. First I will mention what is fact about them then second I will comment what I imagine may have been the case for other areas. Back to...

    Revenge of the Vampire (short script)

    UPDATE: I'm taking a break from this script just so I can come back to it soon with fresher eyes but the discussion about this script is giving me lots of good insights into different perspectives on some of the issues raised. This in turns helps me in finding out things I may have missed as...

    Revenge of the Vampire (short script)

    Lol base them on the originals instead ;) He should see things on his journey that show different sides of what's going on. So far all we have is what happened where the Preacher resides. There is no indication of how many vampires there are or how widespread they are. The funny thing is I am...

    Revenge of the Vampire (short script)

    Maz, I see what you mean. It's kinda like how quickly it seems Anakin in Revenge of the Sith turns to the Dark Side. Perhaps after he feeds for the first time he just leaves and wanders. Then years later when he's been a vampire for a while he is approached by the vampire that turned him, and...
