There are three types of critiques. 1. Those who know nothing of the medium and can give a layman's opinion 2. Those who can tell you when what is wrong but don't know how to fix it 3. Those who know the medium and can tell you how to fix it It is hard to find the third and sometimes you have...

Ok, so I'm going to start a weekly thing where I post a link to a DVD extra online or the Amazon link for the actual DVD. The great thing about DVDs right now is that not a lot of people want them. You can find amazing collections with 3+ hours in extras and amazing packaging $2+ shipping &...

In that case, I would lok into programs with the most networking ability. USC, UCLA, NYU, Columbia, etc. Schools of that caliber have networking just as valuable as the actual skills. If you're just looking for great screenwriting classes on a budget, check out Gotham workshops or HB Studio...

I would steer clear of New York Film Academy. They can be a bit overpriced. Also, when deciding a program, you should think about why you want to study. Do you want to be a professionally paid screenwriter or are you looking to get into writing your own films? In a lot of screenwriting...

Where is the facebook page?

I'm planning a 3 day shoot for a short film in Jacksonville, North Carolina in either mid July or early August. Our goal is to have a rough edit for submission to Sundance by August 31st. We are shooting outdoors so the concern is the summer heat. Most of the talent and crew are working on...

Final Draft does locations, actors and props. It is also the industry standard and costs $200. If you're not ready to make that investment yet, check out Movie Draft SE in the Mac App store. It does similar and exports to .FDX, the Final Draft format.

I'm going to say just watch movies and meet people. Really watch the movies and observe people. Stop spending time on web sites (except maybe this forum :cool: ), don't read anymore books, and don't take a film job. You're in high school! Learn to love life and love film. By truly watching...

There is so much involved in making a feature film that could not be covered in some forum posts. Are you looking to write, direct, produce or act in them? A script is the starting point for any great feature film. A solid script can get you funding. I highly recommend the book Writing Films...

Consider standard length for other formats. 1 hour TV shows are 40-50 minutes, feature film is 80-100 minutes, and sitcoms are 15-20. A 30-60 minute web episode is very long. Can you hold their attention? Webisodes should be as long as the story can hold their attention. A very popular and...

If you are looking for a faster way to build your portfolio, why not re-score existing films and post them on YouTube? There are amazing re-cuts online by editors showing their ability to completely change the feel of a film. My favorite is the Ferris Bueller indie re-cut...

The sled dog photos are great.

Well, you should host your video on vimeo or youtube regardless of the platform of your own web site. The bandwidth costs if your show is a hit will kill you. Also, a unique name has nothing to do with SEO. Say your name was something super unique or a made up word - Advantavideo. No one will...

Crank 2: High Voltage was shot only on Canon XHA1's and Canon HF10's which are similar. At the time it was a ~$3k camera. This is Canon XA10 is $2k. Sounds like a good buy to me.

NoFilmSchool.com just featured an article from a filmmaker who had relative success with his short film project. He discusses the pros and cons of self releasing a film on the web or going to the traditional film festival route. http://avnergeller.blogspot.com/p/film-festivals-vs-web.html?m=1

Save the Cat! Save the Cat! Let's go to one of the most referenced screenwriting books of all time - Save the Cat! by Blake Snyder. The first page, Snyder calls the OPENING IMAGE. Here’s what he has to say about it: Let's look at a great example: Kick-Ass - A crazy guy in a super hero...

Register with the Writer's Guild of America (WGA). I believe it's $40 for non-members and $20 for members. http://www.wgawregistry.org/ After that, you can start pitching your script whether to sell or optioned without having to worry about it getting ripped off.

It isn't wise to share the logline of an incomplete script. The really well written logline of a high concept script is like gold to people who know how to pitch. If you don't have the story written and registered, then you are SOL when someone writes it for you and makes the payday. That...
