Where are you getting this info on the Syfy pilot pitch? I've done a search on google and the syfy website, but can't find any info. Also, this is a big improvement to what the footage was months ago. Good to see you're still chipping away with it.

Anyone keen to read my way too short first draft of a feature film? It's similar to the likes of creature features churned out by SyFy or Corman. Written over a few hours. Let me know and I'll email it through to you, then you can tear it to shreds.

Anyone have any feature film press kits that I can look at? I'm interested in seeing different layouts for inspiration to make my own stand out from the crowd.

Remember the days when short films would be shown before a movie in the cinemas? Those were the days.

40 minutes is an odd length. Why did you choose to make it so short/long?

How bad is it? Could we get an upload of a still as an example?

Lollies for snacks. Salad rolls for lunch/dinner. Bottles of water. EVERY DAY.

I've been looking at writing a feature project for a while now which is based on a company's intellectual property. While I don't have the rights yet to write the feature, the company is prepared to listen to what I have to say about it, and go from there. Now I'm not too sure about the whole...

Do you also do film sales?

No lenses, their prices are ridiculous.

Here's an example that I found: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Red-One-Camera-Mysterium-Plus-Accessories-Like-New-Only-165-Hours-Clock-/320829684293?pt=Digital_Cameras&hash=item4ab2f07a45#ht_1311wt_453 While the Buy It Now is $15,000, the opening bid is $10,000. While I don't normally pay...

inktip is actually the one that I wanted to use as my example, but couldn't remember what it was called.

Could uploading your script to somewhere like sellascript.com really lead to a sale, or is a site like this just a big scam? Anyone had any luck with this?

yes. It may seem cruel, but an cast of unattractive people simply spell "low budget". An attractive cast is very important, unless they are supposed to be ugly.

We're needing a new camera and a couple of the partners in my small time production company are wanting to buy a second hand Red One. They're quite cheap now and you can pick one up with a production kit for around 10 grand. Now the Red One was the ducks guts a few years ago, and people...

I know a vast majority of people on this forum are digital, but it's worth a try. My Elmo 612S-XL no longer runs off the AA batteries (no, they're not flat) and I don't have an power cord for my unit. Any idea on what kind of power cord I need in terms of correct power? EDIT: Never mind. For...

It's not that I hate 3D, I just prefer to watch 2D. What I DO hate is 3D gimmick shots. And I couldn't give a damn about surround sound.

What directorik said. I never ignore it when a writer pitches me their project for production, but I'm small time. One thing that I notice frequently when being pitched by a writer is that they're constantly talking about shit that isn't important. I don't care about some amazing little scene...

With the kind of budget ABC would be able to put towards this, I think I'd rather see a crappy tv show, as opposed to a crappy movie. What I mean is that I'm much more forgiving with tv acting, visual effects, and production values, as opposed to in a movie.

I managed to get the Model 1224 working. After I stripped it apart I'm pretty sure the battery contacts on the inside were a bit dodgy, so I screwed around with them. Then I found a loose mirror bouncing around inside, I found where that was meant to go and painfully glued it back into place...
