Great film, malco! I love the way you took a pretty ambitious idea and nailed it first time with very little budget! Don't know what else to say really, it was all brilliant and genuinely funny. There were a few shots where you could kind of pick holes in the compositing if you were being...

Hello - I'm just trying to storyboard / plan shots for my film and I'm wondering about using clean over the shoulder shots (eg without the closer actor in shot) vs "dirty" ones (eg where you can see the head and shoulders of the closer actor) - this is mainly for dialog scenes by the way. Is...

Yeah, much better! Look forward to seeing more!

I think it all depends what you're peeing on.

Now that's what I call an introduction! :) I love the idea, am intrigued by all aspects of the circus - hope I can be of some assistance!

Natural Born Killers was about sociopathic lovers and it was great! Well I thought so anyway, seems to divide opinion :) It can be done, but I agree that you need to have some reason not to dislike the characters from the outset. They don't have to be totally sympathetic, but you have to at...

A note on the grading too actually - a lot of this is down to stylistic taste but to me in some shots (mostly the mid/long shots with a lot of foliage) it seemed a little washed out - like a LOT of the image was in the mid range. Also, without the shallow DOF blurring the background the main guy...

Don't know if this has been posted already, apologies if so, but I thought it was ace! An excellent warning against cliche too :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bnulqi3ZncU

If you're using celtx like me, you probably want to head it "MONTAGE:" and then use standard sluglines for each scene in the montage. This allows you to schedule the shoot better as each scene in the montage can have its own location / characters / props associated with it. Then just end with...

Well the title got my interest, the film was kind of rubbish but I guess that was sort of the point? Trouble is I think if you are doing a comedy pastiche of an existing genre it has to nail the genre completely, and I don't think this did I'm afraid. Color grading was all over the place -...

Really nice cinematography, but seemed like it was just a tiny part of something bigger. "Soldier running around in woods and nothing much happens" is a bit of a low-budget staple but it felt tense and held my attention, mainly due to the camerawork. Just wish it had done something a bit more...

The photography was superb. Nice use of limited sound and colour. I agree with Henry Spencer about it needing a little more of a twist though and thought the font for the final title looked kind of cheap and should have been centered vertically between the bed and the painting. Picky I know...

What a weird coincidence - the film I'm making is about a butcher who falls in love with a vegan's fiance! Guess it's just one of those timeless conflicts :) It even has a line "That's no way to live", which is very similar to some dialog in yours (thats pretty much where the similarities end...

Quite liked it, the script and acting were pretty good and it was shot well although the lighting seemed a little harsh in places. I'm surprised you called it a comedy as it wasn't really funny, that's not a bad thing - it worked without being funny but I found the music was a little...

Yeah, he's always complaining about that at work too (we make computer games for a day job) - "no-one ever thinks about the sound!" Don't worry though, I agree with him :) When you say "dialog wilds" do you mean recording dialog on-set with no camera rolling, so you've got more audio options...

This thread's turning into a pretty good comedy script in its own right.

Seriously, you don't understand what you are dealing with. I'm the guy who nailed through a water pipe in the attic room the day after the entire central heating system had just been replaced and had to call the plumber back on a Sunday to rescue us. I don't even trust myself in my own house...

Nice punchline :) The reason I wrote my script was because the story and characters (well, at least one of them) were there in my head before I decided to make a film. That just seemed to be the best medium in which to tell that story - so now I'm trying to learn all the stuff I need to know to...

Knowing my track record with DIY, very very difficult.
