6 months and not one reply? Now I feel sad :D

I'm no professional screenwriter, and all of what is below is pure opinion. I believe it would be best to write ALL of it linearly before reorganizing it how you'd like. If you splitit up too early then chances are you're going to have some major problems.

Welcome to SFM! Hope you enjoy your stay here. I think you'll find its members to be most useful if you ever have any questions or concerns. :)

Ok, I've finished reading. Time to finish what I started. Again, with the dialogue. I don't know whether it was intentional or if you just made a cutesie version to post on here, but if certain talk suits the situation, don't kiddie it up. "puck" substituting fuck/fucking and "crud" taking the...

Don't worry I'm not going to ask for anybody to help me writing my research paper on filmmaking (the whole process, from script to distribution). Nor am I going to paste the whole thing here for proofreading. It's a simple thing I am requesting help with, yet it's one that's giving me a lot of...

Oh well in that case, it's fair game. Know how many people have adapted Beowulf? Same thing. I'm sure no rights need to be acquired. So write away!

[Disclaimer: I don't know anything, I'm just a humble nooblet giving his opinion] I've gotten into the habit of thoroughly developing my characters before even starting the screenplay. It definitely helps in the dialogue department in the least. You get to really know your characters and let...

[Disclaimer: I am not a professional screenwriter, and everything here is just my opinion. I will be brutally honest. It is my style.] I'm just going to be strait forward: First off--What a horrrrible beginning. When you start off you sound like you're writing a novel, which is not what you're...

This must be a joke....

Voice-Overs shouldn't be used unless it's stylish or it is necessary to move the story along. Memento is a great example, using them throughout the entire movie, because it was necessary in that film. It is, in part, what made it so great. The usage in I Think I Love My Wife and National...

I do like the idea of someone being brought up by an older (unrelated) person and then decides to go against them. That being said... it's been done before. I trust that you won't take offense to this, but I think it needs to be said. The concept of a rebellious group at war with a corrupt...

First thing that comes to mind is to use raw meat. Haha. Seems simple but could work. If you live near an old-fashioned meatshop/butcher then that's even better. Spread some watered down ketchup over em to make them look bloody. The heart may be a bit more complicated.... If you're doing it in...

Kind of unsure of the question here. If you're asking that if the author of the myth is unknown, and it HAS been written, then just write that it was inspired/adapted from that work. Or if you're just referring to the myth itself (with no author or written work involved) then you don't have to...

Probably going to repeat some stuff here, FYI. Just want to say everything I feel. Pros: -I like the simple concept and it's execution. If you just refine it a little it could be great. Cons: -I agree with the others in saying that the opening is dreadfully cliche. Although admittedly I can't...

If you have an IMDb Pro account you might be able to view Frank Miller's contact info through his page there. Otherwise I don't know how. But you should definitely contact Frank somehow. Rodriguez made a short film (that Miller later found out about and approved to be made into Sin City) so I...

That sounds like a good idea. I may try that when I get my camera. As long as I don't draw "Closer" by NIN :|

Ah, thanks for clarifying. I have a question though, not sure it belongs here, but I don't want to make another thread. I'm not completely certain that my computer can handle video editing. Not that I'm doing anything intense right now, I plan to in the future. My computer is custom built: AMD...

Thanks for the suggestions. I don't have my own camera, sadly... but I'm working on it. I didn't know Avid only took Quicktime files, I'm sure I have some laying around here somewhere. I'll check out the Avid website like you said. Thanks again! ~Vaare the Virus Contamino mos perussi vos...

Hi, I just got Avid Xpress Pro HD and am searching for tutorials for beginners in video editing. I'm a 100% newbie to this. Anybody know where I might find some tutorials or manuals? Also, I've been looking for video to "practice" with, although I won't exactly know where to start. Could I just...

It truly does....
