    archived-videos Paintball promo

    While, for the most part, it looks pretty good. However after about the first minute or so it just turned almost too repetitive and became really hard to follow. Except for the build up, it's really just pure action with little time to pause and see what's going on. I get it's an action piece...

    reverse force pull

    I would do what Zen and Uranium were talking about. Watch the movie "Gladiator" in one of the final scenes where and he appears to be floating above the ground. Listen to Ridley's commentary about it. I don't know why I put spoilers on that part seeing as everyone who wanted to see Gladiator...

    archived-videos My First Short

    Thanks, man. I wanted in sepia tone mostly as an homage to the old silent nickelodeon films, hence why the music is mostly piano. I was thinking of cutting one of the scenes though because I am aware of the rule of threes in comedy. Maybe just limiting it to three scenes. I would've shot...

    archived-videos My First Short

    Here's my first short film titled "Security Smoke." It's a part of a documentary I'm doing for my sociology class which is why there's no credits or anything. The music is a mix of various songs by Faith No More and Serj Tankian that I spliced in there as temp tracks. Reviews are welcomed...

    DOESN'T ANYONE LIVE IN A SMALL TOWN??

    I live in a town called Lebanon, NH. Small-ish town founded in the mid eighteenth century. It and Hanover, NH (look up Dartmouth College) all have that New England charm that is so often missed in mainstream entertainment. Also try Keene, NH and Claremont, NH. If you want to see them in...

    Your first attempts at film making

    I'm actually working on my first one right now; a documentary for my sociology class. With me doing about 80% of the work while one holds the mic and the other I cast as the narrator. How I wish I could have an AD or a script sup. I swear this video is going to suck the life out of me... But I...

    Adapting an existing work into a screenplay

    ^ I was referring to more direct remakes of movies like the recent surge of horror movie remakes like Friday the 13th, Halloween, Hills Have Eyes, King Kong, etc. And yes you are right in the fact that films have historically adapted stories from other mediums into film. Most of those that you...

    Adapting an existing work into a screenplay

    directorik, couldn't agree with you more. It is very rare that I find a remake that measures up to the original and I think most conscious film viewers feel the same way. But yet they still see them. In fact the only remake I've seen that was good was John Carpenter's "The Thing." Everything...

    Adapting an existing work into a screenplay

    Years. I don't know exactly how many but it could be up to ten years. That's why it's called development hell. Have to have the original writers option it to you first. Copyright office. Maybe the WGA. Haven't really looked into it though. It depends on the given situation. Sometimes a...

    Why You Should Always Always Hire A Professional Boom-Op

    Indie Noir?

    "Following" by Chris Nolan was heavily inspired by film noir. It'd be good lo look into that and listen to the commentary.

    In no particular order... 1. Alien 2. Hills Have Eyes (original) 3. A Nightmare on Elm St. 4. The Omen (original) 5. The Ring And it's not Halloween without some classic Hitchcock and the old Universal movies like Dracula, The Wolf Man, Frankenstein, and the Mummy, and their Abbott and...

    Celtx, Sophocles, or Movie Magic?

    Really? Cause on mine it's on the top under the MASTER CATALOG tab when you hit TYPE SET. I found it pretty easily and I'm very computer illiterate.
