any ideas for my mini film?
« on: November 04, 2003, 04:55:03 pm »
lol... i have to make one as my final in film studies.

i'm thinking i'll use my parrot as the main star and have her talk to other people... i know that will take a lot of editing cause she never talks on command, but i think it might work. and her vocab is small too but i think i could piece it together... i can all have her be all scary and flip out.

i really dont know if i want to do that tho... anyone have any suggestions? and any ideas for affordable editing programs that i could do on the computer?

hmmmm......i know it sounds kind of cheesy, but you know how they say great writers write what they know? maybe it could be the same for your film....why not make one about your everyday life? or someone elses? it might be a bit easier than your perrat, but i think it would take a lot more editing.....sooooo i really didn't help much but....yeah....:oops:

hmm if you had a mac I would tell you to use iMovie..it is free with the computer =)
umm I think there are a few Video editing programs
that are free in Windows as well
such as Avid Free and such
Ask Will about it  or ask Lani =)

Movies about ninjas are the only ones worth watching.

That, and The Warriors.

So I suggest either remaking the Warriors, or dressing your parrot all in black and have him backflip silently into trees.

Maybe you should make a movie about the NessaHolics, but make funny stuff up, like freaky meetups and crazy stuff at shows, lol

Make it about this website that draws you into its madness, and forces you to frequent it everyday to see whats going on, and do stupid things like have board spouses and children.  

Like 28 Days Later, its scary because it can come true... wait it already has.  :lol:

lmfao!! hmm... that'd be interesting. she does jump out of trees and off things and attack people. maybe i can make a "the birds" type movie. there are about 100 crows in 1 of 2 trees near my house as well.

The ULTIMATE horror film. "A Journey Through MEPS"
MEPS being the Military Entrance Processing Station. It was a total of 3 days comprised of nothing but misery including a huge test and then a military style physical, including getting blood sucked from deep inside of your arm!.................I shudder at the thought of returning, which I do for the sequel this coming January

Here is the Oklahoma City MEPS website, for study material :wink:

Washington is a dreadfully awful place......this I've learned

There is nothing like seeing a gang of rollerskating cowboy criminals wearing fluro-coloured overalls being beaten up by a team of skinny leathervested Coney islanders, in a toilet block.

Ah, The Warriors rules.

Does it necessarily have to be about your everyday life? You could do one about a significant event in your life? Or something that has happened that really meant something/hurt you? Sounds harsh but thats probably how you'll make the best film- because you've put your heart into it. And plus, no making up ficticious characters, "working with children and animals" or having to stress for hours over a plot line. Sound okay?

if you can do bird voice you can just talk for it. Perhaps you can do it about birds trying to take over and your parrot is the leader. :)
