    What are you listening to right NOW!

    Listening to my stupid office phone ring. Although I shouldn't complain since I actually have an office.

    Wow. Goosebumps. Can't wait.

    Screenwriting Help!

    Sure. A placeholder is more than okay. Chances are, with a low budget Indie film the locations would change anyway based on availability and opportunity, which often requires rewrites.

    Are books on film-makers worth reading?

    Skywalking: The Life And Films Of George Lucas, Updated Edition Worth a read, yes.

    The start of a short

    Depends on what you're trying to accomplish here. What does each character want? Clearly your psychologist was instructed to interview him, but does he want to? Does he care? What does he hope to achieve? Same with the killer. What does he want? What does he hope to achieve? Why should...

    Delinquent - Feedback please :)

    Please don't confuse "your" with "you're". That's one of my biggest Internet pet peeves. Pay attention to your tense. Don't use "is sat", but "sits". Better yet, use a more descriptive verb like "lounges", "reclines", "slumps", etc. Sitting is boring - no action associated with it. Really...

    The start of a short

    Have you seen Silence of the Lambs? The best dialogue says very little out loud, but has profound meaning.

    Tagger and Final Draft

    Sure there is. Export ("Save as") Rich Text Format.

    Tagger and Final Draft

    You could always download Open Office. It's free. But, yeah, Tagger is meant for use with budgeting software.

    Draft 1 of Act I of my first feature-length script!

    You completely took that the wrong way. Believe me, if I thought it sucked, I wouldn't have read past page 10 and wouldn't have bothered to respond. Screenplays are present tense, active voice, what you see and what you hear. Shit "happens", not "is happening" or "was happening" or...

    Tagger and Final Draft

    Doesn't appear that there's a way to do it. Tagger is a separate application and only pulls in headers and tagged elements, not the full scene: http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/8ddbd4af#/8ddbd4af/348

    Draft 1 of Act I of my first feature-length script!

    Actually, some of the feedback you got is backwards. The script doesn't suck, but the writing isn't great. As you mentioned, it's only the first act. There's plenty of story that must get written before any of it could get placed in context. But I will say that it did grab my interest where...

    "We"

    Agreed, unnecessary. Many writers still use them, though, even in modern professional scripts that I've read recently. I used them in my first script, but I don't use them anymore. It's all implied by the fact that a screenplay is what you see and what you hear. Honestly, I think the use of...

    Simple After Effects 3D buildings

    That latest render is looking pretty good. My comment about Google Earth was just regarding quick access to pre-rendered buildings and textures.

    Simple After Effects 3D buildings

    Too bad you couldn't just use Google Earth's 3D buildings.

    Nvidia or No?

    It is highly unlikely that the problems you are experiencing have anything to do with your graphics card. I've encountered some really marginal memory over the years. First thing I would do is run a memory diagnostic. I was getting freezing and major corruption until I isolated some bad...

    Nvidia or No?

    Your HD5770 is more than enough to handle the task, although if you require 10-bit with OpenGL (like in Photoshop), you will need a FirePro card, not a Radeon, and a 10-bit professional display. Radeon only renders 10-bit (10-10-10-2, talking color gamut here) with DirectX. You can still edit...
