Hi, need some advice from someone who knows about sound a lot bette rthan me that can explain things in simple english. not wishing to take up to much space on this thread but simply put, I will be filming in a nightclub and i need to know how to capture the actors voices without it being drowned ou...

Well, yeah, referring to prodigyfilms inc's idea, you don't necesarily have to shoot the actor. You could do a close up of the piece of body that you are shooting, but instead make a fake body part (arm, torso, which ever will be shot). Then, clothe it, put the blood pouch in, and shoot it. Then, y...

just to but in, I am a CBRN Defence Instructor (Chemical, Bio, Radiological and Nuclear) among other jobs and we had to do a lot of studies on the place, If you go (which yu can as a tourist), you will need special permission from the government, you have to wear a huge protective suit, you cant get...

drop me a line, I have got the test text and will get it to you ASAP.

Russ buddy, been chatting with you about this major project, goo dluck and most of all enjoy it! chat soon mate.

I did enjoy it but found the repeated use of complex syntax a bit irritating, and som eof the similies were a little random, almost as if they were there to make it sound good without actually improving the script. just my thoughts.

I came, I read, I liked, a few blatent cliches in there but I did enjoy, must agree though, with the comments about dialogue.

personally, I thought it looked pretty damn impressive, and dont forget, when mixed with real action etc it will only look more impresssive. well done!

in one day! wow! its either going to need work or you already had a lot written down?

I have just started using it after spending so long writing everything in script format on a WP programe, will see how i get on but I hope it does not detract from the fun?

Supposely i was planning to mix gangsterism, smoking and underaged-sex into one. But i've got no ideas yet. was thinking along the lines of doing it from the hoods perspective, a "day in the life" sort of thing? the camera follows the gansta lad around as he makes his rounds of his undera...

as long as it was not as pants as the one with The Rock in!

very well done! loved the singing part, reminded me a bit of Hudson Hawk where the are singing as they blow s*** up! great!

Jperson, if you looking for someone to write you a decent script for free they are going to want to see a decent end product eg the film. If its badly shot/acted etc the writer who has spent his time writing you a script is going to a bit annoyed to say the least. I have to agree with this 100%; if...

everyone writes scripts in different ways, I am a visual writer so my scripts have lots of direction in them, I owuld say that 80% of my scripts are what are NOT said, yet I know writers who dont even bother with punctuation or spelling as they are getting a rough idea and no one else will read it. ...

Try to say "This is only the beginning" with an evil smile as serious as you can and tell me it doesnt feel cheesy. Very true, I read my scripts from cover to cover as I write, saying them aloud can help with character definition and also helps you to stop rambling and keep the flow going

would like to see more of this, nicely written I willhave to re-read it again to fix it in my head

Prehaps Patrick is the father, but I prefer the thought that she is a gangsters moll, went on the run with some vital piece of information and Patrick is a hitman type who has tracked her down, kidnapped her son and wants the informaton. not sure, just looking forward t hearing more.

I was watching the Extras DVD for Top Gun the other day and to make the shake shots for the ariel combat the simply attached a power drill to the front of the camera with an 8" off set wooden disc attached to the front, very simple and the effect is good, hope it helps.

yeah yeah yeah! so you are off to be a big shot film star? just dont forget us bottom feeders when you are giving away Oscars etc! mate , well done to you from all at BSP!

a breathtaking and refreshing look at one mans vision of a clasissic master piece!

oopps, sorry, forgot. link?

British troops pinch ideas from the locals, a shemagh is outstanding for keeping the cr** and dust out of your eyes, ears and mouth.

much better, the editing needs alittle work but it is shaping up nicely. drop a line to Theshapecool (on this site) he made a tutorial for his Gothic Punisher film and there was a nice way for fight scenes in there, it might help you loads?

I found it made me smile more than I am prepared to admit, the para landing needs much more work but I asume that will be one of the scenes you will be filming? as far as it went for a trailer, you needto have more of the story in there, as it was I must agree with 'freed': There wasn't any change a...

Sledge Films have been on this project for a whiole now, I have been lucky enough to be following the films progress and it looks great from what I have seen, but alas I am still waiting to see the finished article, all the other stuff has been looking great though!
