    Filming Sex

    I think Asad's advice is completely solid. But I really like the idea of shooting it early on so it's not hanging over the actors' heads.

    Filming Sex

    What's the general rules for keeping sex scenes professional? But natural-looking?

    For the record, my "complaint" about having the budget go from $100k to $250k was followed by a smiley face. :) which generally means it's a joke. I'm not wrapped around the axle about what a story costs to be told properly.

    Trueindie, your words are 400% true and I am absolutely undertaking a small project at this time - a 3-minute sizzle reel for a TV series. Using a local film production company and theater talent. The difficulty is in the US Pacific Northwest is we do not have the deep talent for TV or film...

    editing Best method to cut somebody's head off

    We are planning a scene where a person has the top of their skull removed beneath a glass helmet and brains exposed. We already have the helmet - it's an actual helmet for brain injuries. The plan was to put a little green beanie on the actor's head beneath the helmet and remove it in post...

    Superhuman: First ten pages of science fiction screenplay; feedback wanted

    Remember film is different from novels, you want to show the story, not tell it.

    Superhuman: First ten pages of science fiction screenplay; feedback wanted

    I enjoyed it and I agree it has potential. I think what was confusing for me is normally screenplays don't have nearly that much action written out. This screenplay in real screenplay format would probably be less than 3 pages. It's just hard to follow when it is not in accepted format. But...

    I get it. I completely, 100% understand how the world works. The most transferable skill of all from the business world to the filmmaking world is the ability to spot talent and hire the right people. I am not going to sit down and learn every single aspect of film production, that's not my job...

    Blocking people?

    Perfect, that did it. And I like the idea of adding them to "your list."

    Thanks for the continuous passive aggressive harassment. It's a hoot.

    Aaaaaand, how does one do that?

    Is it possible to block people you no longer wish to interact with on this forum?

    Thanks, Sweetie, I'm really not interested in your opinion of anything.

    Hi, I am experimenting with the Adobe Cloud programs. I appreciate there are probably superior programs. I do not plan on doing much editing myself, I just want to familiarize myself with the process to be able to communicate with editors. After Effects is suggesting I install an NVIDIA...

    Sweetie, I certainly hope your real world demeanor is friendlier than your online persona if you are interested in a career in filmmaking. Or it could be a while between projects for you. Nobody wants a clubhouse cancer on their crew. Nobody would hire a wedding videographer who constantly...

    Just kidding about the $100k to $250k, I have no idea what the budget will be. It's just 15 people at $6,000 is $90,000. I was just thinking the cast might want at least as much money as the crew. Figure transportation for 30 people, it would be in the $250k range. BUT, again, I am not...

    It's all good. I've managed multi-million dollar projects in the real world a hell of a lot more complicated than making a film. Where written performance guarantees mean if you don't do what you said you were going to do, it costs real money and a lot of it. Sweetie seems to be the only one who...
