I had more scenes in mind to film to build up the character as an "average" person, but due to time constaints and actors lives they had to be shoved. The original script was intended for a 15-20 min film. The comment about the ADR not being synched, I think that is from compression for st...

Don't be afraid to add actions for the characters while they're talking. It makes it easier on the actors, and adds a lot to the imagery. Contractions, slang, and the actions will make the dialogue a lot better. Good Story though. Well done! Yeah but if he writing this as a selling script, you don'...

Jeff was gone for an entire night that was the point. I will go and re-crop for the final edit. Any other comments?

Hey this is a short that I did over the summer and just finished up post about a month ago. It is a suspensful thriller in where detail is key. I filmed it on a GL1, and edited it with Final Cut Pro 5. The music is not original but I am currently in the process of making my own. I just want some fee...

That hike was fun. I am a fan of going up the side of the mountain. Which we did on the way down and all almost died. This film is not going to have original music, the first Blog, (the one with the parking lot scene) showed us that.

Anywho back to Precint 71. Even though I was involved with making this, I was shocked at how well this turned out. Props to you Kentertainment.

Throwing SUCKED! But it was worth it. Who knew your arm could get tired from throwing pillows....

Mine is a class, and there are 3 of us that no what we are doing the rest jsut kinda sleep. But some of them are very good actors so watch out for them.

Hey its a good footstool to bigger and better festivals. But, it really is hard to give good tips, because most of this stuff is learned from trail and error over and oer again. Thats the best way to learn. So trying to tell oyu wouldn't really help.

When's your movie going to be done. Looks good. Did you figure out the video blog problem?

HAve ahdthis problem but had no idea how to fix it. Sorry, jsut go with it and do whatever you need to.

That explains a lot...

Too true. About 4-5 days on average.

Just plain AVI will work and the bitrate doesn't really matter. Hope that helps.

DEDFX, yours wins. That is much beter.Except you forgot to mention how deadly looking a 13 year old looked with the "concealed" weapons.

Watch "Sidekick" it has some cool nunchuck moves and it shows a person learing on them. (Lots of painful crotch hits.)

ME! Seriously, the movie im makin is based on me, so legally, i am the 13 year old that runs around with a staff and other weapons and knows how to use them. But obviously, i wont be walking around the streets at night with a frickin pole in my hand. But all of my other weapons i use can be hidden ...

I still laugh everytime I see this! The music is the icing on the cake! That has got to be the worlds largest butter knife.

43. Ripping music from soundtracks. I know making music is hard adn we all have done this but at least everyone should try one film with their own music. I love irony. Yeah, me too. Considering he said QUICK and I also said that you should try at least one with your own. Not everyone can make there...

what 13 year old runs around with a gun all day? In Australia?

What 13 yearold runs around with a staff and all these other weapons and knows how to use them? Just a reminder, keep it realistic unless it is supposed to be crazy.

Do you have a different colored tail coat? If you have a black one then it would fit the waist coat and tie perfectly.

I like mushrooms. Mushrooms are great. Spinache is better. Alright, this thread was started to try and help us learn something. Although it was very blunt and not worded to be kind, most of it is helpful. It has now turned into a thread for showing off and arguing with Lawrie. If this thread contin...

Do you want a fresh one? I will write one for free, just give me somewhat of an idea.

Looks great, it just needs a little more color. Not much, don't change the overall color but just a little bit.

The Kingdom of Heaven soundtrack is AWESOME. Path to HEaven adn Crusades ar good sad ones.
