    Feedback on a script?

    Hi, I second everything Lee said. There are also a number of formatting issues I feel the need to mention as well. I know it's early in the process but it's better to get in the habit of doing it right... Don't start with a character list or description telling you where this will take place...

    Bug Zapper! - Infomercial Parody

    Hey guys, Here's a little parody I've put together mocking those ridiculous and often inadvertently hilarious infomercials. Just for fun obviously. It has the secondary purpose of showing that I'm not just all about writing dark and deep dramas. I'll be shooting it before too long. Comments...

    T2i - Severe Image Quality Issue

    UPDATE: Ok I'm starting to wonder if my monitor really is at fault. I noticed that when the screen is filled with black, it's covered in noise-like spots. The monitor is a ViewSonic VX2250wm set to 1920X1080 resolution. It adjusts sharpness automatically and I can't control it. So as a...

    best movie soundtracks.

    From a purely technical and musical standpoint, my favorite film score of all time is 'The Lord of the Rings'. Epic, at times surreal, mysterious, and beautiful. The music IS the movie. The rest of my top 5.. 2. The Red Violin 3. Departures 4. Braveheart 5. Sherlock Holmes

    T2i - Severe Image Quality Issue

    Ok, got it back from Canon. They claim it was in working order all along.. Of course, when I test it the problem is as obvious as ever. So now what? Is it possible that the SD card has something to do with it? I've been using those cheap Transcend Class 10 cards, and yes, I low-level formatted...

    T2i - Severe Image Quality Issue

    I know, right? It's just a metal adapter ring to fit the connections on the camera body. There are no optics involved at all. The thing is, I've seen this same used online at it looks 1000x better. I'm hoping this isn't a sensor issue..

    T2i - Severe Image Quality Issue

    Ok I'll try and clear this up.. The screens I'm posting in this reply were taken from a video captured in manual mode at ISO 200 in late morning light, 1080p at 24fps, 1/50th shutter speed, aperture 5.6 using a Pentax SMC-M F1.7 lens with Fotodiox PK-EOS lens mount adapter using the neutral...

    T2i - Severe Image Quality Issue

    Here are a couple stills taken from a test video that clearly show the problem I have. I understand that it's a low-light situation in this video, but I still get the exact same problem where there is plenty of light, it's just not as noticeable in the highlights. Also, ignore the focus, it also...

    T2i - Severe Image Quality Issue

    Hey guys, I've been having a heck of a time getting any decent video whatsoever out of my camera. Everything I shoot no matter the ISO or lens used has severe noise/artifacts in most of the frame, notably shadows. I am using a Fotodiox lens adapter with good Pentax lenses, if that has anything...

    random scene

    Ditto what everyone else said. A couple of other things to add too. Presuming these are your main characters, it's advisable to describe their appearance, even if just the basics. Think visual. Also, please don't feel the need to include 'continued' at the top and bottom of every page. We know...

    feedback on my script for my workshop

    I tried to read this but the format you posted it in is just plain terrible. Also, there are a ton of spelling/grammar mistakes. Pet peeve of mine. From what I read... First of all, INT. TYSON'S BEDROOM - DAY. Don't put action description in the slugline. Aside from that, you say what they...

    How to write a short comedy video?

    What you are essentially asking is 'how do I become a great writer?'. If only there was a magic formula. The only thing that you or any of the rest of us can do when we want to be good at something, is do it. Write everyday, watch comedies, read comedy screenplays, and did I mention write...

    Brainstorming

    Hi Patrick, 1. Yes, it is indeed a big decision. From what you've got, it seems that she is just descending into psychosis with her obsession. That should be all the motive you need. What has more power over you than your own mind? If you want something specific that she is after, well.. it...

    SCREENPLAY LITERARY AGENTS?

    You need to do some research into writing query letters, if you haven't already. Once you get that prepared and perfected you send it to any and all agencies you can find. I'll post a link below for you to check out. Word of caution: Don't even bother sending the screenplay without a query...
