Thanks for the info. I'm messing around with different things to see what works and what doesn't. My next problem is finding people to help me with projects. Everyone I know is interested in doing this stuff seems to be moving away :(.

Yeah the script is pretty much written. There are a few tweaks left to get the dialog but other than that it's done.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have a book called master shots by Christopher Kenworthy. I just got it so I haven't had a chance to really dig into it yet. I feel fairly confident that I can do the first two scenes with the stuff I've got but the final few minutes are going to be the tough...

Hey all. First off let me apologize for my gross ignorance as I am new to the film making thing and this will be my first endeavor. The film I am writing rests somewhere between a supernatural thriller and a drama with a tense opening scene a slower middle scene and a fast paced third and...

Okay the creature itself is called a Wraith. Their kind fed on humans and were sealed away. Now after centuries the seal holding them has weakened and one has escaped. The killings are part of a ritual to destroy the seal and release the rest of its kind. The Wraith has the ability to assume...

I'm up in Natchitoches. About an hour north of Alexandria

Thanks for the advice. I'm trying to make it as simple as possible so the effects can be minimal. Lighting is one of big things I need to make sure I get right. If I screw up the lighting for the last scene especially then I've ruined the movie.

Fair enough. Let me ask you this, do you think that instead of a slower inner monologue opening should I try to open with something more exciting? Like maybe the creature killing a victim while still trying to maintain the facade that the killer is human?

Good point. I want the main character believes creatures were extinct. My idea is for the main characters contact to deal in smuggling between our world and the creatures world. That way it gives the contact reason to know about the creature.

Hey all. I'm wanting to do what I think is a fairly unique movie short but am having trouble. My idea is to do short about a modern day detective on the hunt for a killer but the killer is an otherworldly creature. I live in one of the oldest towns in Louisiana and thought it would be cool...

Don't really know. I'm brand new to this and haven't had any contact with any other film makers. I know that the Indie scene is getting growing up in Shreveport. Of course that's another hour and half drive for me.

Did you get any vignetting with your wide angle? The reason I'm looking for lenses is because I read that to do effective action scenes involving a fist fight the wide angle was pretty much required to help sell the fight. Of course I really have no idea.

Hey all. I'm looking at getting a couple lenses for my camcorder, and wanted to know what you guys thought of the vivitar wide angle and telephoto lens? I'm not wanting to spend a ton of money and they look fairly decent just wanted to get some feedback before I dropped the cash for them...

I took some of your advice and tweaked it a little. What do you guys think? Am I headed in the right direction? EXT. Clearing day. Colt steps out of wooded area into clearing. Two armed men are standing there waiting for him. COLT Where is she? MASKED MAN 1 She's safe. Colt throws...

Thanks for the advice. I know I have a few typos that need to be corrected. I actually used Microsoft word to write this. Exil is short Exfiltration or extraction point. It's a military term That makes sense. I don't want to make this much longer than this as I may end up reusing it for a...

Hey all. I've been trying to come up with a short for a couple characters I've created and have written a short script for something I would like to try but wanted to get some feedback it to see what you guys thought. I am trying to use this as a learning experience for how to shoot things and...

Up in Natchitoches. about an hour or so north of Alexandria.

Thanks for that. I'm going to mess around and see what I come up with.

Hey all. I have a Canon Vixia HF M40 and am looking at shooting some night scenes but because of film grain I would like if possible to shoot them during the day if possible. Can anyone tell me what type of filter I would need for shooting this type of scene? Or is there something I can do...

Thanks for the advice. We have about decided that we would like to make at least one 3 to 5 minute short to introduce the characters for the movie and help establish them. The movie we are making starts at the end of a mission they are on so we thought maybe doing a short or 2 to lead up to...
