I have a script I'm currently working on that kinda fits your theme there. It's not done yet, and to be honest, I'm a little leery about handing off my script to someone I don't know. Contact me off the forum and we can talk some more. I'd like to see what an outside person could make of my...

Melody Assistant or Harmony Assistant from www.myriad-online.com are decent choices. It's shareware, but it's definitely worth the cost. I've used Melody Assistant for many years (not so much lately), and I'm very impressed with the program. It's worth a look at if nothing else. Demo is free...

mrde50, I think the idea is not to so much edit out room tone as it is to mix it well with the recorded dialogue so that it sounds as if you have a constant tone in the background. I could be wrong, but that would make sense to me. Just a matter of mixing the different tracks properly. Some...

Exactly. When I was writing knightly's project "Average Joe", there were two four word phrases I used quite often throughout the pre-prod process. 1. "I'm just the writer!" 2. "Fix it in post." Those two statements can disavow you of pretty much all responsibility and liability with your...

And thus the advantage of also being a musician as well as an aspiring screenwriter. FYI, though, there is quite a bit of royalty free music out there to be had. Music you can use in any form for any kind of release and you don't have to pay anything to use it and you don't have to get...

Well, I'm a Mac user, but computers are computers are computers for the most part. 1 GB of memory. Get more if you can, but this should be sufficient. But more will not hurt, only help. 200 GB hard drive. Tons of space, but you'll fill it up quickly if you're shooting digital. Processor...

That would be awesome, Will! Yeah, what I meant by "the rest" was getting a good, clean audio of the dialogue without any background noise, which would be recorded separately. Again, I'm a n00b with all this technical stuff (hey, I'm just a writer!), so I don't really know what I'm talking...

And replied to... Thanks, Boz.

Thanks, Boz. knightly does have a really nice shotgun mic he's been using for his project, and I plan on using it for mine. But he has it wired directly into the camera. I plan on setting something up to record the sound separately into, like you suggested, a laptop running something like...

Hey there. I looked around for an apporpriate sub forum for this request and didn't really see one, so I hope it's okay to ask this. My question is about managing sound. What is the best way to go about having a constant background sound so that it doesn't shift between edits. I'm very much...

CeltX user here as well, and I love the program so far. Just takes a little getting used to the shortcuts and stuff, but I've been very pleased with it. And it comes for the Mac, which is a big plus! James

I really hate to hijack someone else's thread, but I am also new to IndieTalk, as well as scriptwriting, but I have a project in the works that I would love to have someone outside my immediate circle of friends read over and critique. Didn't make sense to start a new thread with one already...

I'd love to talk about a Kevin Smith flick. He's one of my favorite directors. Maybe something like "Chasing Amy" or "Jersey Girl". That would be fun. James

Greetings, all! I thought I'd take this time to kinda introduce myself. The name is James, I'm a good friend of knightly's. I'm the writer for his current project "Average Joe", and when he's done with that, we'll probably start pre-prod on my short, "The Watch" (tentatively titled). Script...
