    watch Just released a new trailer

    Hello! Here's some thoughts I have on it for you. 1. Hate the font choice, especially how plain it looks when over the opening shot. 2. The cut at :31 feels bad, because you're jump cutting to a wider version of the same shot essentially. 3. The lead up to car crash and the reveal is very...

    marketing Feedback of short trailer and distribution advises

    Sorry for the bluntness, but this is an absolutely terrible trailer and the end product doesn't look much better. The trailer needs to be at LEAST half the length that it currently is. There needs to be some music behind it. You start out with a shot where we cant see who's speaking and then the...

    Vimeo Passwords Keep Breaking - Ruining My Festival Submissions

    I mean it's not about people stealing them, but a lot of festivals won't allow for films that are already publicly available. There's no reason passwords on Vimeo shouldnt be working, you need to give more details on what happened. You cannot make password protected videos on Youtube, but you...

    Extracting subtitles from my own film

    If you burned the subtitles hardcoded onto the file, then you're out of luck

    watch First 1-minute short film "Isolation"

    I can’t believe someone let their name be in the credits as a sound mixer on this, or that they were happy enough with the job they did of it. There’s some nice shots in this. There’s a weird short pan at 29 seconds followed by a full one a few seconds later. I get this was a tripod being...

    Any screenwriter from Japan?

    Hello! I live in Japan - however my Japanese is nowhere near good enough to translate scripts. However I did write and direct a Japanese short film via a translator, so here's my advice for you. Write it in English and go through the same amount of redrafts as you would with a normal project...

    Is this a good short film idea?

    That is a very, very wrong statement.

    How to stitch two videos while also playing together

    The blur looks terrible. The second shot comes in at the wrong time, so the door suddenly pops further in. You need to do proper editing to make this work. You need to mask around the door and animate keyframes, so that the door frame is consistent. Here's an example from a film of mine...

    [Aug 27] What are you working on this week?

    Flights booked to Bangkok for the International Thai Film Festival, where my film will be screening. They've revealed the full list now and I can't wait to see so many amazing looking films. The special cast and fan Tokyo screening was announced and subsequently sold out, which is amazing. So...

    My horror movie idea (Yah! I know I have to write but I need critique first.)

    Because no one has ever written a movie similar to another before? Lets be honest, 95% of scripts written never get produced. So who cares if you write something that could - somewhere, once - be similar to another film. The important thing about writing for you now is to practice and hone your...

    My horror movie idea (Yah! I know I have to write but I need critique first.)

    Is the idea good to you? bad to you? cheesy to you? We don't care, it's you who is writing it, so sod off and WRITE.

    Camera shots in a film script

    Hello! This is what I think when it comes down to writing camera shots. If you're writing a script that you know you're going to direct and produce yourself then go for it, write whatever movements you need or want. If you're writing with the intent of selling it or having someone else direct...
