It wouldn't make a difference to a noob head mainstreamer. I'm an artsy kind of guy that appreciates the medium instead of what it can put in my wallet.

forcing exposition is bad. Like using cop outs like voice overs and a quick argument scene to shovel out the past.

A good story is about the plot. It has nothing to do with how fast the editing, and talking is.

Your lacking content and talent. Don't worry, I have many friends that came from USC and NYU film and are making a killer waitering.

 

Well, I absolutely LOVE filmmaking. But, at the same time, you have to know what sells, and it's got to make you a living. I love the art of it, and I appreciate slow paced films myself. But, the general public usually doesn't. And, you can humbly disagree. We see things from different perspectives. Films are very subjective. It's been good discussing this with you, and I will try to improve and be more original on my next film. Your opinions and ideas have not fallen on deaf ears. Thanks.

 

You have no idea what sells. That is what makes this industry tough.... Movies like rambo and 'a river runs through it' where past out flops of scripts and even movies until luck and fate took hold. Do your homework.

It is about luck and God. You have no idea what will be the next big thing... Once you have come to that fact you will probably be famous. I just want you to eat reality then to show off something not to be proud of. It only hurts your chances of actually BSing an executive to get into your movie hehe....

 

Oh man, I don't claim to know what sells. I try. But, I am not experienced by any stretch of the imagination. I'll be the first one to tell you that I am not experienced. I am trying to improve. You can't become a good filmmaker without making films. So, I'll continue to make films and improve, Lord willing. I just want to keep a listening ear to all comments, and wisdom from other people in the industry, and I am happy we've had an opportunity to discuss some of these things.

 

BTW the public is the big unknown. You cant fool a test audience. Flops have become hits or even cult hits making millions on the back end... and then you have waterworld and the last action hero that where slated to be huge hits and became a horrible lesson to studios....

It is all about the plot man.

 

Very wise.

I have been surrounded by some pretty amazing people in the film/music industry in my years... I know one thing is certain. Keep clean and pray that you have great timing in life. It is all about being at the right place at the right time... Don't force fate... It will then never happen then. If it was ment to be it was ment to be. Just make sure you have a plan B for your life.

A well know director once told me that you should start making films that are on familiar territory.... Start with life experiences and put a twist on them. That usually makes the best movies.... Start with a funny, embarrassing, sad, or great moment from your life and go from there....

 

Well, I'd still love to hear what other people have to say about the little movie I made. Just give me ideas. What you liked, what you didn't like. I need feedback from everyone, or I won't be able to improve. Thanks.

[quote="Necromancer"]A come back should be original... Copying my play is boring and obvious.

wtf ever... ummm i wasnt critiquing his film. I am giving good advice. duh. nothing else to say but a title to a stupid movie. bravo your a winner! newbie. Go eat a cookie.

 

 

The movie was pretty good. I enjoyed watching it. the SSM tC looked sweet :D Both the girls in it had some bad acting, but the main character driving the tC was really good. nice work.

 

Ok, it's the weekend now, I'm sure more people are on the forums. Check out the movie.

Watching the movie it has the porno film quality to it but I must admit I was into it and watched the whole thing. I have to tell you something I knew the lawyer was behind the ordeal because ive seen these type of plots before. Overall I give it a B- good job man let us know when you make more of these films. Next time make a horror movie.
