Tools For Use Tools For Use I am a Final Draft fan when it comes to script writing software but was introduced to program called Celtx - http://www.celtx.com. While the script writing part of it may not be quite as intuitive as Final Draft and may take a little bit longer it does have some...

No problem. Unfortunately I wont be able to make the new workshop because I will be busy that day and can't make it to NY. I'm keeping my eyes open to try making it to a future one though.

Your performances, blocking and timing were awesome. Great job. I really liked it.

Congrats, I didn't make it to the second round. I'll check it out.

The Joys of Development The Joys of Development I am very glad I am still only in the development stages of this project. I met with a good friend of mine that gave me some great notes that will be great elements to incorporate into the second draft of the script. I was reminded that when...

On a Rabbit Trail On a Rabbit Trail This usually isn't something that you should worry about in the story stages of your script but I realized this when my film Bounty had an offer made on it, some carelessness in planning reared its ugly head. When budgeting make sure you set aside money for...

I am working on the summaries and what not and as soon as they are done I'll post them.

The new website is up at http://www.stgham.com/bounty There are a few stores listed where you can pre-order the movie and it is already on Netflix, so you can add it to your queue for when it comes out August 11. Glad it looks interesting to you. Already prepping for another western, a short...

I'm a fan of Paul Greengrass and Peter Weir

Story, Story, Story Story, Story, Story I have to catch myself from getting too excited about all the technical stuff this early in the stage. One thing that ends up being a problem for most low budget indie films is that the stories just flat out suck. Although I have no guarantee's that I...

this is definitely a topic that you should always begin to pursue in the development stage of your movie before even going into pre-production. Unfortunately, it is true that low budget movies almost never see any money in residuals. When I signed my contract I almost negotiated out of the...

Right on Roy. Another trick might be to use a very small amount of fog (fog machine) build up some atmosphere in the room and that can also give the illusion that dust is floating about. It's all smoke and mirrors. I really like the dust covers idea. Depending on the set and your story you...

The 5 Step Process The 5 Step Process One problem that I faced in the making of Bounty, that I'm sure a lot of first time filmmakers face - sometimes veterans as well, is that I didn't have a clear plan of action for the life of the film. For this time around I have developed a 5 step process...

Looks like it's been a while since I started this thread. Well, an update. The movie is done and was picked up for distribution. It will be available to buy in stores August 11, 2009. Look for Bounty - I'm putting together a new site and will put info on that soon.

It All Starts Here It All Starts Here I directed my first feature film in January of 2007 and, nearly two years later, I am almost done with it. I currently have the film being reviewed by some distributors and, if all goes well, will have it released sometime around January 2009. So while...

I am in development for a few films and figured that some of the information I learn along the way might be useful here so I'll try posting any updates on it when I can. I have a movie coming out on video August 11th and am prepping for my second feature. Check back often as I'll make posts to...

Well we have shot some stuff and have a website put together. Check it out. http://bounty.stgham.com Shot on the HVX200 w M2 adapter. Could use some advice on how to raise more funds with what we have. thanks

Actually the specs are posted on dvxuser.com and it is something like a 960x540 chip while the JVC is a 1280x720 chip. I am using the RedRock adapter with a camera - still undecided about the camera to buy. check this article out about a test the crew from 24 did with all the new cameras -...
