Another great thread, but no! Still, good, relevant info there.

:lol: I remember you! This isn't the thread, but that is a bloody excellent thread, thank you so much for bringing it to my attention. Bookmarked for future reference! :cool:

:lol: If it helps at all, I remember they listed... Elements, FC, and Sony Vegas, which they stated is the best for editing audio. :yes:

I'm hoping one of you lovely people can help. I read a post here within the last two weeks regarding editing software and specifically sound editing in video editing software. Somebody made a fairly short but comprehensive post outlining the various editing suites and noted that one of those...

Cracker funk is temp-banned? To the OP: Hey at least you're making movies. Congrats on getting it to this stage, and good luck for the final cut!

Fight Club is awesome. Once a character ceases to exist (as you percieved), you still have the themes, ideas and issues to pick over, if you feel inclined to. Just thought i'd add that.

The concept is good, but that's just the beginning. You really need to flesh it out - write a two page treatment, detailing every beat of the story, maybe even include some dialogue - almost a prose version of your vision. That will help you to decide if the idea is something you want to produce.

Is Tideland a lesser known film? I enjoyed that.

That's funny, Kids was one of my big writing influences too :yes: It really was a powerful film - I think the effect on me as a Londoner enchanted by New York was amplified. Wait Until Dark must be one of Hepburn's most underrated films, and I'm always trying to recommend it to people - they...

I keep meaning to watch The 400 Blows - just yesterday I was close to picking it up, but went for Au Revoir Les Enfants instead - they were right next to each other in the shop.

So sad. Another legend gone. Hope she's somewhere better.

I would cut certain lines from the action sequences, and concentrate on making it more of a pleasure to read; more like prose. Things like: "she stumbles towards us" "we see that she is" "slowly bring the camera into focus on her hand" All of these lines break up the story, and make the reader...

This required a gmail account to view. Luckily I had one, so i'll give it a read, but maybe you should upload it to somewhere accessible by non gmail account holders. I can recommend scribd.com. Also, can I ask if you will be using this personally, trying to sell it, or offering it to friends...

Try and base your short ideas on this: Who wants what from who? What if they don't get it? Why now? Should get you started, as a flexible basis to work from.

There's no formula or requirement to becoming a screenwriter - it's one of the toughest trades to break into; trust me, i'm trying.
