    misc How do I show frustration?

    They're not real. It's the physical manifestation of the frustrations that occur in real life between two, different departments. My choice is to manifest this as two, different people experiencing frustration over the other's actions. Or simply a display of frustration.

    Ever had someone choke you out? I guarantee it's frustrating.

    So the two people aren't real. Instead, they represent two, different departments within a business. One of those departments regularly complains about the other.

    Completed Low Budget Feature Script: Benito the Blade

    Well there are filmmakers on here who've raised money for features. I've just raised financing for my first one although not in your genre. So DM me if that's the direction if you want to have a chat about it.

    Contracts 101 - How to avoid worthless "net profits"

    It's interesting because the investors we dealt with for the feature we sold are really cool about this stuff. Their attitude is if they can get a winning team together and keep it together, we can keep making money for them. But then again, we're super low budget so I guess it's easier for us...

    Hence tranches. Tranches can be moved up and down and mimic profitability without getting into the issues around profitability calculations.

    Contracts 101 - How to avoid worthless "net profits"

    Everything's good but I disagree about associating any payments with net profits. The reason is as a lead producer on a feature where I've raised the money, I'm having the payments made to an SPV and my friends who are producers and shooting a movie in January are doing the same thing...

    That works (and also reminds me of my ex-wife). What would you do if there was no sound?

    I'm scared of her, now... Back to business. One person showing frustration with another quickly and easily.

    That's good. What about one person showing frustration with another?

    misc How do I show frustration?

    So I want to show frustration in max 5 - 10 seconds. Not 'tell' but 'show.' I was thinking of two people fighting in a dojo, one of them throwing the other and then being strangled. However, I'd love to know more ideas. What would you do?

    camera-dept Which mattebox for a zoom lens?

    So I'm trying to find a matte box for a 24 - 70 Canon 2.8 L lens. I do corporates for customers including the UK government, private companies etc... so I need it to look really good. The sliding matte boxes I know about are no longer made so I need an alternative. An alternative that looks...
