I've done a major (relatively speaking, for a 2 page script :)) rewrite on this. Looking forward to more responses. You've all been very helpful! http://bit.ly/CanYouSeeMeRev1

:lol: I've been thinking about the same thing. My first script I wrote (http://bit.ly/CanYouSeeMeRev1 - shameless plug. Sorry. :)) ends with a hanging. The way I was thinking of doing it was this: 1) Character ties rope to railing. (cut to shot of other character) 2) Character slips noose over...

Thanks for the tips, everyone. :-) Some wonderful ideas as to how I can tweak it. TheOpusFuller: I like your ideas about how to adjust the beginning. I'm going to try and work with that. As for: I love that idea! I hadn't thought of that as a possibility, but it works great! Isn't it...

One thing I probably should have mentioned: I'm planning on this being a very short piece - a couple of minutes, at best. Though I do want to flesh it out a bit more, this is pretty much the whole deal.

Actually, Celtx is what I used. Love it! :-)

Greetings, all. I've written a short script, and, while I've read a fair bit on script formatting, this is the first time I've really tried to put something down. I was wondering if any of the wonderfully helpful people here would be interested in taking a quick look at it (it's a mere 3 pages...

I guess I should have mentioned that those two are actually an 8 hour drive away. I found one about 4 hours away, but looking at it again, it's not quite what I'm after. I think the online schools I'm looking at are more to supplement what I have in mind to pick up as far as books are concerned.

Well, I am going the book route, as well. Over the next couple of months, I'll probably be picking up a couple hundred dollars worth of books. (Good thing I love to read, anyway! :)) And, unfortunately, no one in my area provides these kinds of courses. The nearest place I could find is a 4...

This reminds me of a comment I read from Jack Nicholson about characters he plays. He said, "I think about my characters, and ask myself, 'What does he want? What are his motivations?' And I realize I haven't the fainest clue. So, I ask myself, 'What do I want? What are MY motivations?' And...

I only watched this recently, and I really enjoyed it. Gave me a couple of good, sleep-deprived nights. Mainly because I watched it on the night shift when I was the only one here.:) Though it didn't affect me as badly as The Blair Witch Project. I didn't feel comfortable in basements for months...

Of course, if you really are Michael Rosenblum (just look at how many Britney Spears' you can find on some forums :)), wouldn't that make you slightly biased? ;) I am seriously considering that one, though. Shameless self-promotion or not. :lol:

I've been wanting to look into film school, but the two nearest to me (Vancouver Film School and the British Columbia Institute of Technology) are both vastly out of my price range. I can't go the student loan route (for reasons I won't get into here), and no one I know has a spare...

Well, I'm heading into Vancouver today, so I'll check that one out. Thanks. :)

I'm slowly working out what equipment I'll be picking up so I can get started on my very first short in around mid-April. Camera's picked out, I'm getting an awesome deal on a new computer for editing, found a few "quick'n'dirty" items to stand in for more expensive lighting equipment (since my...

Well, I've figured out how I'm going to do this. Thank you, all, for your great suggestions. Terrific advice, not just for now, but for future consideration. :)

Will: LOL. One of my favourite scenes in one of my favourite movies! 4Dman: Yet another thing I hadn't considered. I know there's a lot of professionally made films on IMDb that list average shot times, and they're always in the under-10-seconds time frame. The longer I'm on this forum, the...

None of the outdoor shots have any dialogue planned, anyway, so that's not a problem. :) That's a great idea, as well. I'll have to look into that. Thank you, everyone.

That shows you how new I am to this. I hadn't even considered getting shots early in the morning. It would be perfectly in keeping with things, as well, as this dream is supposed to be when the child first wakes up. Definitely a (much easier) idea than what I had. :lol:

Yeah, that's definitely coming into the picture, too. My first paycheque from this job, I'm doing a major Chapters bookstore run. :)

Hi, all. I'm getting myself prepared to shoot my very first short in a couple of months (I'm working away from home for 3 months). One shot in my piece is a child dreaming that he is alone, completely. I want to have him run to the end of his driveway, look left and right, and the street is...
