    watch Darkwood < New Short

    It was pretty good. I'm not into the bourne identity shaky camera thing that everyone likes these days. Also I thought there was too much music.

    Why do you think the festivals weren't into this?

    I have to agree with Popper666. The voice over let it down. First thing I was taught by my lecturers was to show and not tell. For instance; When we are told about how he could not read until he was 10 and the teachers would try to help but be smirking thinking he doesn't see but he does, that...

    Character Names

    If you were writing a novel you would hide the names so the reader gets the pay off with the reveal. A script is something completely different, its not read for enjoyment it is a set of instructions for making the film. So use the character's name from the start.

    Atheist viewpoint documentary

    You can find many many ...many videos about this sort of thing on youtube that could give you ideas. It does sound a lot like the kinda documentaries Richard Dawkins does so I would try and make it more personal and about your own experiences if I were you.

    books on basic editing/basic of editing?

    I haven't read many books on editing but In The Blink of an Eye by Walter Murch (look at his imdb page if you dont know him) had a lasting impression on me. Its short and not so intimidating and a good read...

    Where could this idea go?

    I had a similar idea to this but instead of a social network site it was an online game (ala world of warcraft). Havn't really developed it though since I am working on other things atm.

    Brought my first camera, any advice now?

    you just need to experiment filming as much as you can. If you like narratives maybe try writing aswell. Dont worry about the tripod, they are all standard and fit every camera.

    60 Days Until KRONOBOTZ 01!

    i'm really confused about what this film is meant to be about. A guy wakes up in a desert, follows a light, it turns out to be a flying robot which is also his lost puppy? then you start talking about this girl. I cant see any type of narrative, you just have an odd situation then no story.

    getting into writing mood

    For me its normally really late and night when i should be sleeping. Something about the silence and feeling completely alone in the world that sets my imagination off. I will also listen to music whatever fits the mood of what i'm writing.

    Christian Bale out rage

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLXVuy0h29c IMO there is no reason at all for acting like that. It shows that he has passion for what he is doing but he needs to grow up.

    Hate Actors

    Yeah well... incase anyone is wondering it did work out in the end I found some new ones who were not douchebags. From now on i'll presume everyone is a jackass until they prove otherwise.

    Slow start horror, will it work?

    Yeah drop hints about the zombies. Think of the Dawn of the Dead remake when she is in the hospital. The opening to that film is really good. Its not 30 mins long but you get a good grasp of the main character before you see any zombies but there are hints in the back ground all the time that...

    Slow start horror, will it work?

    "Well i have a question from everyone. Do you think in today's real world audience can wait for 28 to 30 minutes to get to know about protagonists and his life? " No. If there is 30 minutes of nothing but getting to know the protag happening I would start to get bored i'm sure. You can get to...

    Slow start horror, will it work?

    This remeinds me of The Prestige in a way. (spoiler alert) I watched that film expecting to see a serious, realistic, 'could be a true story' film about rival magicians in the 1800s. Then once the science fiction element kicked in I completely turned off from the film because it was not what I...

    Hate Actors

    I explained what the project was about in the email I sent out and explained it like I did above. I said to meet up in the uni cafe. And no i'm not an internet psycho, i'm just frustrated right now

    Hate Actors

    So... I feel so nieve right now. At least I can take this as a learning experience.... So this 5 min film project we were given at uni, we had almost no limitations and could do what we wanted. Most people tend to do abstract art type things. I'm not interested in that I like narrative films. I...

    Panasonic HDC-SD9EB-S HD Camcorder

    So i'm looking for a cheap HD camera and I found this one. http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0013XWY52/ref=pd_luc_mri?_encoding=UTF8&m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE The features sound really good. I'm more used to using mini-dv tho, is there anything I need to know about using SD cards? Just looking...
