I called a entertainment lawyer, and she wants $750 for writing up a contract. I wonder if I can write up a good contract myself and have a good plan for being paid as progress is made. Also to keep the credit as the screenwriter. I wish I had a knowledgable producer that would work with me...

Hello, I have been working with an author of a book and converting it into a screenplay. I am wondering if anyone knows the steps I should take. I am not an accomplished screenwriter. I would like for this to do well. I would like to get paid and credit. Has anyone had any experience...

Hello, I have been working with an author of a book and converting it into a screenplay. The author agrees to pay money for a first draft, second draft, and wants me to be a part of it all the way to the end. I am wondering if anyone knows the steps I should take to keep my intellectual...

Hey I am working on a short film that involves a dog for an actor. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience or heard of methods of working with dogs and shooting styles to capture the desired action on screen. I am open to all idea's to help me with this. Thanks -GPS

Critique I thought it is a good job shooting it all with just the go pro, and shows that the very best camera's available aren't completely necessary to shoot a good film, or tell a great story. I agree with everyone, the title sequence/credits is too long. I like the car mount shot on the...

Hey SonnyJoe21, pretty cool site. I found it about a year ago and it is a really good place to talk with other filmmakers and artist to inspire or be inspired and learn more about the craft of film making. I went to film school in San Francisco, and originally thought frisco was San francisco...

#7 is Hot, I like the music and the editing is pretty good. Where did you find the actress? She adds great production value. :yes:

I am excited to get involved with this. I have been wanting to get back practicing making films. Hopefully I can get something made in time.

Hey Monica, I'm Garrett, 25, I am also an aspiring director/actor. Nice to meet you. I think that is cool you want to go to NYU, have you looked into any other film schools? I went to film school in San Francisco (AAU) It is a great experience, I recomend practicing making films on your own as...

I think it is a job well done, I like that it starts fast with the backstory and then straight into the first episode. The action is choreographed well and I also think the SFX worked well. I know how hard it is to try to produce a story/show like this and I think on a scale of 1-10, based of...

My thoughts on the piece. I also thought at the opening of text, dialing noise, and close up on phone was not necessary, in my opinion it brings down the quality of the production. I feel it would be a much stronger opening just as the wide shot with the woman walking to the phone booth. I...

Films I feel I should be able to make I liked the movie Safety Not Guaranteed, but I wouldn't be able to get the special effects for the ending... I should be able to shoot a movie like Clerks. I can't think right now. I am always looking for movies that had the story, budget and aesthetics...

I think you'd want to keep it short, I'd say if the film is going to be 10 minutes, the narration should be around 30seconds;no more than 1 minute. Get into the action and motivation of the story asap. Think if using narration for the intro is necessary, maybe the intro will play better with a...

Favorite Director Hey, the favorite director question. I always have said my favorite director is Kevin Smith, because as I was growing up one of my favorite movies was Mallrats, which then led me into the cult following of Kevin Smith Movies. I bought the 10th anniversary edition of Clerks...

Hmm.. I like the style of black and white. I feel the piece is too short, and also you might be able to make it more deep by using other editing techniques. I don't know how though, my friend is an editor and I remember a film he did a few years ago, I acted in it. Check it out see if it gives...

Hey I have the two books by Judith Weston, "Directing Actors" and "Directors Intuition" The are great books, I haven't picked them up in a while, I was at USC the other day and saw she will be having a seminar going over the book Directing Actors... I'm jealous because I don't go to USC and...
