    Help with first script

    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

    How would I simulate a hanging?

    :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...

    Just watched the 5 videos you have posted on YouTube. "Kid vs Terrorists" had me killing myself laughing, and "Noble" was just straight freaking awesome! Keep up the great work!

    Need help with a super-short.

    He's a mute, but not for any physical reasons. It's all psychological. But he finds that, when he hides behind the mask, not only can he communicate, but he can be very persuasive. When the mask starts getting people to commit crimes for him, he begins to think of the mask as another person...

    Help with first script

    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...

    Help with first script

    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.

    Help with first script

    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...

    Online Film Schools?

    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.

    Online Film Schools?

    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...

    Paranormal Activity-15 000 to 64 Million

    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...

    Online Film Schools?

    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:

    Online Film Schools?

    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...

    Reasonable Mic For Starting Out

    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...

    Keeping an empty street empty

    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. :)

    Keeping an empty street empty

    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...
