Yeah man we are married with 12 kids. Thanks for the input though. Also it's not one single idea. It's several ideas I've been working with for 5-7 years. I think it'd be stupid to claim to have thought of one huge idea that hasn't been done before. That's not me. We don't have to work on...

I've thought of that too sure, but his filmmaking skills so far have been carried on my back. So while he may still have lots of potential, I haven't seen anything from him that was outstanding. We were just close friends who were both directors so we decided to collab. I think to some degree...

To get things like a 10k drop, what do you think helped get that? Did you show any materials like stuff that you previously shot? Or a well written kickstarter page for the movie? I think we could learn a lot from what you did since it sounds like kickstarter worked successfully for you.

Wow excellent lighting and the visual quality is amazing. What camera and lens did you film with? I'm surprised she's never acted before. Maybe she could get into acting and you've discovered her! Just found this thread and it hurts to hear my fellow filmmakers in a bind. I seriously don't...

I've heard that kickstarter gives you lots of hope, but in the end you don't get all that much. I have to try it for myself to see if that's true. If anything it helps you get more exposure. And you only help yourself out by having more material to present in the kickstarter page of your...

True but I guess if you get specific enough when copyrighting it might work. It's been a while and I have to refresh myself about the registration system. And yeah with only a few words that my friend overhears he can't make a whole movie out of it, but when I talk to the producer it's usually...

Thanks so much for the friend request! You're great at what you do!

Ah! I had no idea about the weather. It makes sense why you add the filter. Though it's really strong. Your friends did well with the fights even though they aren't actors! I had a friend act as one of the guys in a fight scene. He practices all kinds of martial arts and acrobatics, but his...

Yeah I definitely have to go about registering my idea/s. When you register and copyright, are you copywriting entire scripts or can you do even concepts? I would guess concepts are too general, but if someone is paid to approve them, then can't they approve concepts that are specific enough...

Oh well I guess I'll explain the situation a little better. The producer is a mutual friend and we're working on the same project right now. However, we're always talking about what we want to film next. So far we have been making the same series and I wanted to mention my own. However, because...

Excellent showcase of skills! In front of and behind the camera! Things that I didn't like: - The green color grading was a bit too strong. Even though I loved the action and what was going on (you guys are good!) the filter is a bit too stringent on the eyes sometimes. - The physical...

I thought about that too and am damn serious by this point that I wanna do that. But still is it true, if he changes a few details around it wouldn't infringe on copyright? I mean if somewhere down the line I have evidence that we talked about it (not sure what evidence that would be) but that...

How important is the fight scene to the story? As you already know, you'll probably have to make some big compromises. - I was thinking when you mentioned that- you wanted to film the fight with one masked actor, then film later the other masked character on a different day that you're probably...

Oh man, another opportunity came up to discuss my movie and series ideas. It's killing me to keep these ideas inside. What do you guys do with your best story ideas? I reveal them to my close friends who aren't in the industry or close friends in the industry that have shown to strive to go...

Film Riot's style of fight scene cinematography is really an ode to the current Hollywood style of fight scene. In my head I just think of "Bourne" cinematography. That said, the Film Riot guys are still learning (yes just like all the rest of us) and their fight scene cinematography wasn't...

Oh man, oh man oh man. You're giving me some horrible flashbacks. My co-director runs everytime theres work to be done on a project. He just doesn't understand how much work goes into films and believes directing is as easy as the BTS always make it look. That said when a project turns out much...

I feel like he sometimes actively just says big controversial statements as it's part of his job and keeps the entertainment part of what he does active. I think possibly in the future CGI and modern editing could get rid of the need for stunt performers. However as it currently is, or even the...

I got the opportunity to film a project with my friend. One of our big investors is also a mutual friend so it works out perfectly. The problem is my friend loves to take ideas and not even change them around. It feels weird mentioning about my ideas if he's going to take them one day. Anyone...

I saw the Film Riot fight scene tutorial. It in general is great and I'm glad such a big channel got to expose many indie film makers to this kind of tutorial. There was a fight scene tutorial posted on indietalk actually that was very good. http://www.youtube.com/user/ShahuyenProductions Take...

Post up vids that have a lot of good tips and useful information on the art of directing. Interviews with important directors, BTS where they focus on the director really doing his thing, or general directing youtube channels, anything you find worthwhile...
