I'm the Larry Clark esque script guy. Just tidying it up as far as formatting goes. In the process of getting feedback from a few peers too.

I will never write another word until "Literature and Latte" makes a Scrivener app for Android like they have done for iOS.
Dead serious.

I just copied and pasted it from the last one.
Personally, I'm interested in those but barely know how to operate a fuckin camera right now.
Grayson Lewis
Me too. I wish the threads were separated. I do not give one single fuck about screenwriting, but oh well.
Justin Perry
Decided to focus on my sketch show pilot and leave making a feature project until next year. So far written 3 out of the 6 sketches. Not sure what Im gonna do with it when Im done, I'd upload it eventually but I want it to be more than just another video no one watches. Anyone know any tv based festivals?
Chase Edwards
Let's just see it now.

If you want to talk about filmmaking, start the conversation. /fmg/s weren't getting more than 20-30 posts on their own.
Zachary Evans
Is it weird that I dont want to talk about filmmaking around a bunch of screenwriting fucks?
Chase Mitchell
Yes, you idiot. Plenty of people are interested in both.
writer and director > writer OR director
Gavin Ward
Why?

Look at the response above yours. Auteur theory cancer is everywhere. It's the philosophy behind this thread.
Christian Adams
Is there something wrong with someone wanting to be an auteur?
Lucas Perez
Oh nvm. I just googled auteur theory. Yeah that sounds pretentious as fuck. Why are screenwriters always shit on?
Joshua Flores
Was just about to make a thread. Thank you.

>Why include this when less than 1% of the posts will be about camera shit and photography? To change that.

Carson Peterson
I'm filming some indoor shots and nature time lapses while saving up for a decent editing rig and, later on (when I'm not shit), a better camera.
I've got some good locations so far, especially pic related for a low budget horror.
What makes something pretentious to you? When do you know that you're being pretentious?
Liam Price
Still working on this (if anyone remembers it or the joke version).
The brother who goes into foster care gets the support and opportunities he needs and becomes a police officer. He finds his missing brother, the run away, on a drugs bust and hides him from the other officers. Takes him in, tries to help him sort his life out, even as his drug-addict brother steals and pawns his things, gets in trouble, runs away again.
I like it because I don't care about it so much that I get caught up in trying to make it perfect. It's way more relaxing to write a story you're not invested in.

I'm such a fuck, I have like 5 scripts I should be working on but I have been putting them off for over a year. There's one that's almost finished and I just have to do one final draft and then another brush up/edit and it'll be done but I just feel like it's gonna too much work and I don't touch it. Please end my worthless life
Caleb Wood
I haven't done or made anything.
I've been planning the same two movies for years and one's an adaptation.
sometimes they can be good, though in my recent experience only the solo /swg/ threads have been really active and productive
Kayden Reyes
Neither are helpful.
Evan Ortiz
Just recently figured out how I'm gonna start episode 1 of my animated sci-fi action show. Feels good to finally have made some progress. Nothing script wise written down, but I just started getting into the groove of my writing process, which is weird as fuck to say the least.
Benjamin Myers
Good luck.
Dylan Lee
Here's a little excerpt from my latest work. It's not too bad, r-right guys?
I got a sneak preview of the first episode of this masterpiece because my friend works for the marketing company this moron hired
Joshua Parker

Samuel Jackson

Jonathan Turner
No man, I think it's funny as fuck. A courtroom drama trying to figure out the aftermath of the plane scene is great. Could be a really good conspiracy thriller
Joshua Wilson
Oh, thanks.
John Scott
I need more context. From this page alone, it's not clear if we're in court, on a late night show, on a debate, or whatever. That would shed some light as to the acceptableness of your dialogue.
John Reyes
It doesn't show here but it's in the Senate Chamber, and it's presumably on CSPAN because the press is there. And there is a Senator in charge here.
Carter Barnes
That's a sweet fucking name for a series. Shame it looks like butt. Or is that like placeholder animation? And no, it's not gonna be like that. This is something that will never see the light of day for many many years. Not until I can afford a competent team and not have some studio fuck stick their dick in my work. Plus it's not really gonna be for kids.
Blake Bell
That's not placeholder animation. The first episode is honestly one of the worst, most surreal things I have ever seen. I don't know how this guy can keep sinking money into it and think that he's going to make a good show because it is just awful in every way. I will definitely make a thread here if it ever gets a release btw.
Anyway tell me a little more about your series, what's the premise?
Eli Barnes
>just got a job as an equipment PA at a production house >start on Tuesday >don't know fucking anything help
Luis Carter
Takes place in the future, think Deus Ex 1 or Early Ghost in Shell. A detective works with the NYPD every now and then, helping them solve some of the harder cases. The detective has a secret though. Through unknown circumstances he can transform into a kind of bio armored monster, where he then dishes out vigilante justice. I have a real love for that kind of shit, guy turns into monster to fight other monsters. Funny that there's not a name for that genre. If there is I don't know what it is.
Ayden Wright
Sounds cool, how do you plan on marketing/publishing it?
Leo Scott
I am not even looking at that at this point in time. I just wanna focus on getting it written. And yeah I know, what's the point if it never gets made, but eh, whatever. I have other shit that I wanna get made. This is one of those ones that I can wait for. Not a magnum opus or anything, but a real passion project. But since you asked . . . if I wanted to be an absolute asshole I could market it as an action Call of Duty/Modern Deus Ex brofest style of show. But I tend to be a nice guy so I probably won't do that.

Has anyone here used any vintage lenses on a Nikon body? I'm thinking of picking up some.
How was the quality compared to the newer versions?
Asher Perez
Same guy. Keep in mind I also wanna direct this thing to. I'm one of "those" kinds of writers lol

Kek. If people from Cred Forums start making real movies anytime soon there will be a large amount of mainstream films flooded with subtle memery
Connor Turner
I have a technical screenwriting question: After you establish a scene (say INT. MANSION - DAY) and then have a scene after that that's just the continuation, what are you supposed to type for temporal settings (EXT. MANSION - GARDEN - ???) I've read scripts where they just type LATER or RIGHT AFTER to imply it's still the previous time period, but I've also seen some where they just write no time setting at all. What do?
Bentley Anderson
Do what ever you think is best. Did they literally just walk out there and you just didn't show the few seconds it took them to leave the mansion? Or is this like 15 minutes after the previous scene? Use your own judgement on the timeline
Oh shit! That's exactly what I needed. Thank you user.

I'm moving to Toronto or New York in a year to start my way in the business... I really am looking forward to 16 to sometimes 22 hour work days.

I don't care for the "you'll never make it" shit. I'm doing this shit for life. I can't hold any other job because I don't have the passion for any other job.
If I make it to being a semi-successful person in film making six figures a year, I'm good.
Nathaniel Young
never studied film but i dropped out of studying other things after 4 years now i waste away

Looks like all of it was still in production. I have trouble believing you
Cooper Hill
I've seen the entire episode man, it's no different. In fact it might be worse, just the most shameful embarrassing thing I've ever seen. I wish I could show you but it's nowhere on the internet. Might get my friend to send it to me if he still has it and make a thread about it tomorrow or something
Brandon James
22 hours are illegal as a shooter. You'll do 18 hours tops (beyond that is illegal) and even that is really rare. The average is 12 hours, but 13 and 14 hour days are uncommon. Every now and then you'll do 15 or 16 hour days.
Source: guy who actually works in production in NY
Colton Rogers
It's illegal but doesn't mean it doesn't happen. That's how it is, the industry has many unwritten rules. A major one being working sometimes 20 hours straight.
You should know this, and have heard of Who Needs Sleep? documentary on the poor working hour regulations in the industry
>considers artistic development as repeating that you colored things in twice I feel bad for the guy

Logan Harris
Making six figures ain't that Hard in the film industry. It just takes time. Grips, electrics, camera, scenics, wardrobe, hair and makeup, script supervisor, teamsters, caterers, props, sound, ads, carpenters, and set dressers are all below the line positions that work daily in production that can make 100k a year. Some have to work for it more than others though.
And trust me on this. Unless you're above the line, you'll have no passion for this job after the twelfth hour ticks off. Sucks not having a life outside of set.
Pic related: New Amazon show I worked on recently
Non-union? Sure. On a union set they shut it down. All the union guys just stop working and pack their trucks not giving no fucks for the production. Which is fare cause a lot of production companies are shit at managing their work force. You'll have to be there to experience it, but take my word for it.
Also, this law is pretty recent. Not sure when, but after several people died from a car accident due to lack of sleep a few years ago after working a long day, they made it illegal to work beyond 18 hours.
If it happened recently I would have heard of it. Word gets around when shit like that goes down. I mean hell, I'll hear about shows that will make you work 14+ hours or a lot of night shoots.
I can only speak for NY though
Jace Morales
bump
Kayden Watson
I couldn't help but notice that I found a high camera angle more suitable for a scene with two people talking to each other, in comparison to a scene in another movie where the shot was low angle.
Has anyone else found the same thing?
Isaiah Morales
what
Wyatt Clark
Depends on the scene itself and what's happening in it.
