Hmm... I don't ex cons would be the best for this. They often lack the technical terms you'd need to get a realistic feel for this. Often times SWAT strategy is very similar to military infantry strategy and they might be more willing to offer some insight. What are you trying to learn anyway...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FdANXm1MCk Hey everyone. Been a while since I've been on this site, but I've been busy with film related stuff so I think that's a decent excuse. Anyway, this is the film I made this last spring. It's about a man who is mysteriously woken up at 1:25 AM and...

Born and raised in Bakersfield, CA until about the age of 20. Always been more into writing while in high school, not caring too much about the standard high school classes rounding out with a C average. Apart from the typical "backyard with a video camera" type films, I never did much filming...

I'm having the same thing going for me right now. Except it's inspired by a System of a Down song called "Johnny." The only real similarities to the song is the two names Johnny and Roger and the catchphrase "Hello, my name is Johnny", which is part of the song. Don't know how legal that is...

This is fan fiction gone horribly, horribly wrong.

It's what you make of it. I just got accepted into a film school this year and I'm happy as ever for now I actually get the chance to make films instead of just thinking about. The thing is, for me anyways, when I'm working I have next to no time to devote to making a film. And when I do I can't...

^^ I'd write as many of my ideas, whether in script or treatment form, down and save it for my beneficiaries to polish and/or sell it to whoever. Or just keep them for other people in my family to read and think what it could have been. I'm sorry to the OP, but I call BS on this. I find it...

1. I can't speak for others, but TV is fine depending on the film. But the only times I see made for TV movies anymore are on SyFi (or however you spell it nowadays), Lifetime, and Hallmark. Most of my scripts don't apply to those stations. It should be noted that I rarely watch TV and I only...

Huh... The first job I had was working there. Cool gig. Got to have free rentals and stuff. Oh well, guess I can beef up my DVD collection for cheap.

Anything/anyone from the Transformers films. For that matter anyone in Michael Bay's films.

I just write, man. I don't concern myself with too much symbolism (there is some but it's buried beneath the story) and I'd rather leave it to the audience to figure it out and draw their own interpretations from it. I don't quite get your comparison though. Realism and symbolism can easily go...

Hm. I would've done Avatar: The Last Airbender, but M. Night Shyamalon already has that one. My second choice would have to be a live action Danny Phantom movie. The effects would be incredible in live action and there's never been a ghost/superhero story like that. As for a remake of a movie...

Star Wars was the first that got me into storytelling mode (when I was eight). But then came Jurassic Park (made me want to be a paleontologist) and Raiders (wanted to be an archaeologist). After I learned how boring those two professions were I decided I wanted to be a film maker. Though it...

As I watched Seven Samurai I believe it is possible to do the things he did with a small budget. If you wanted to you can build a mock village of feudal Japan's style and keep the action there. I do believe, however, you're going to have to put a lot of time and money into this if you want it...

Um if I had the budget to do such a film, I would definitely use practical effects/ set building. And of course film in Japan or at the very least at one of the pagodas in the US (Redding, PA for example). Green screen's good for some things, but creating a whole world looks fake more times...

^^ Meh, I couldn't get into it. It seemed like they were trying to make two different movies into one.

I personally can't stand them. Cost way too much money and they end up becoming nothing more than frisbees after a few months. And I just couldn't see myself plopped in front of my tv for hours on end. Hell I'm probably the only 21 year old in America who hates these things. I'd rather be film...

Lebanon for the moment. But I'll be in Keene by September.

I would say wait until your film gets some more steam first. Have patience. It took Chris Nolan almost a year to film his first feature "Following" because he based the production around his schedule, not the other way around. Not that I'm saying you're gonna end up like Chris Nolan. Just...

Recently: "Psycho" Hitchcock's version. First time I've sat and watched it all the way through. That is now in my top 10 favorite films. "The Mummy" Karloff's version. That and "Frankenstein". Gotta love the classics. Right now it's Stephen Sommer's "Jungle Book". The perfect jungle...
