I posted the script a while back, but in a nutshell, two guys are contracted to kill a man that has stolen money from a hotshot. The standard dynamic is in play, pinky and the brain if you will. The smarter character is quick to preach to the other character about fairness and greed. Eventually...

I'm really happy with this. The idea came to me while listening to George Jones and four hours later this is what I have. The format got a little skewed in google docs, and I'm not a subject matter expert anyway (why I'm here). Some things I intentionally left out, character and location...

This may seem like a dumb question, but how does everyone else log their audio tracks for editing? I have a Zoom H1, and in my last short we didn't yet have a microphone so we attached the zoom to a monopod and used it as a makeshift boom pole. The problem was we would have to bring the pole all...

I just need some advice on lighting outdoors in a couple of scenarios. The first, and in my opinion most challenging, Two people in the front of a single cab pickup truck at night... driving of course. The second is just general lighting during the day (it's supposed to be bright with lots of...

Alright guys, here is my first real short film, unrelated to anything I've posted about before. It's the first thing I've ever filmed with the T2I, and the first time I've ever tried filming a full scene while manipulating lights. I desperately want some feedback. I need to know what I'm doing...

I really just need to read some dialogue and check my format against what a pro cranks out. I have final draft, but I feel like I'm not using it as intended. If you don't know of any websites some book suggestions would be much appreciated. I did some searches and can't really find exactly what...

I've posted a request for help writing a short, but that didn't generate a whole lot of interest, so I'll try this. Can somebody help me get from A to B with my story? The short, a comedy/action, will hopefully be about 5 minutes (doesn't HAVE to be). There are some things that I need to...

I have a big project that I'm working on, but after failing miserably filming the first scene I decided to create 3 shorts around the same character to give myself and my small crew practice before we move on to the real work. I'm not very good at writing natural dialogue, and if someone is...

I'm in pre-production on a film entirely about one man, Scott, and I need some advice on keeping the film subjective. Mind you, the goal is to limit the amount POV shots throughout because I want the audience to watch Scott not necessarily share his experience. More specifically, I need advice...

I'm not much of a filmmaker, but I've always had the itch. About 6 years ago bought a Canon GL2 and filmed a terrible short film called "Simple Things" (it's on youtube user name TurboAlliance), and I promise I won't plug it again. Tried to go to film school, but couldn't get the loan (folks...
