Quoted from rendevous Is Johnny Depp in a wheelchair cos their was a fire in his hole?

If there was a fire in his hole, he probably wouldn't be able to sit in a wheel chair.  Or any chair for that matter.

Hi-yo!

Quoted from Baltis. However, there are some things in it that teeter on breaking the rules; just remember I never "technically" broke any of them and met every challenge given.  I think the ending of mine, in one instance, will raise a few brows and have people calling foul, but I still never broke a rule.  Not technically.  Remember that if you read my entry.

A telephone conversation with a fourth party?

No.
Yes.
No.
Sorry.
If possible.
Working on it.
Kunphyoozed.
Only if you're taking video.


You'll get over it.
Some people like both oysters and snails.

Quoted from Coding Herman A telephone conversation with a fourth party?

Anybody remember the old cartoon series Wacky Racers?  Dick Dastardly would always try to cheat so he would win the race.  He always got ahead of the others, create some sort of trap only to have it fail and put him back in last place.  And he always lost as a result.

Oddly enough, he would have to get into the lead position to cheat.  Think about that.

I think if people spent as much time writing a straightforward piece--instead of devising ways to bend and break the rules--we would have a better quality of scripts.

Surely the fire isn't eternal and he'll have to sit down at some point. Hang on, I'm having a serious conversation about Johnny Depp's arse being on fire and the aftermath. Or afterpants, if you will.

Anyway, I'd just like to say I have thoroughly enjoyed this thread and hope the serious debate that takes place here continues. Well done everybody. I am now going to badger some scientists with nitwit questions about aliens then move on to some young tuneheads board who know nothing about music, or sphellwing or anything much. Ah, the joys of the internet.

Must remember to not them I'm having a drink.

Dear, Mr. Scientist,

Do Aliens watch the X factor?

Wrong board again.

Quoted from Coding Herman A telephone conversation with a fourth party?

No, way more clever than that.  Well, I won't say more clever.  Just different.  I only have 3 characters in mine... all protagonist.  And I Actually believe there are 3 instances or 4 that many will think I broke a rule with, but didn't technically.  But all mine lend to the story at hand and were taken very seriously.  I didn't write them to take pot shots at the challenge or make a mockery of it.  I really did take it seriously.  I have 1 joke at the Halloween bit, but that's it.

If I gave you a basic camera, lighting, sound & editing equipment, Adobe After Effects or some such simple effects program, two guys, a girl, a wheelchair, small budget for costumes and props, pointed to an old abandoned house on a country lane in Justaboutanywhere, USA - could you film a ten minute short in a night or two?

If "Yes" then PASS.
If "No" then FAIL.

Easy as pi.

I could with mine.

Phones and voice overs and such aren't cheating.
Failing to creatively utilize your resources is "self limiting" to be polite.
Gotta think like a director.

Me?  No... I'm not a filmmaker.   Someone could though.  Just not me.  I could write it in under a week, though.

I couldn't, personally, but a film student could shoot mine.  Of course, that would also depend on the weather....

Car lights for lightning.
Garden hose for rain.
Soundtrack for thunder and wind.

Bagged and tagged.

Some may call it "falling with style".
I call it flying.  

Sounds like a quality shoot.  The results would be amazing!

If you can't afford a garden hose, how about just using squirt guns for the rain?

Quoted from screenrider Congratulations, Ray.

Thank you.
There's another one.


LOL, Screenrider!
You're cheating by deleting your posts!
Funny munkey muther.


Oh, and in the best interests of those whom love little numbers I'll creatively utilize my editing resources and reply to both
Jeff and Phil, here.

Jeff, squirt guns would be wonderful on a remote shoot. Gopherit!

Phil, you gotta goto war with the army you have, not wait around for the one you want. Were you seriously going to expect a small film crew to both wait for a storm and then film in it as well? What were you expecting film students to use?

1:00 to 2:30

Quoted from RayW Car lights for lightning. Garden hose for rain. Soundtrack for thunder and wind.

Car lights aren't strong enough to illuminate a scene and they aren't adjustable enough to suit anyone's need.

A water hose?  Seriously?  Not gonna get anything resembling rain for an exterior shot with a water hose.

The soundtrack, sure.  But that would be put in during post.


Phil

Quoted from dogglebe Car lights aren't strong enough to illuminate a scene and they aren't adjustable enough to suit anyone's need. Guerrilla film-making, Phil.  Every filmmaker needs to invest in a crane to hold their light bulbs to get the perfect shot A water hose?  Seriously?  Not gonna get anything resembling rain for an exterior shot with a water hose.   Tell that to these kids here The soundtrack, sure.  But that would be put in during post. OR just use stock footage from other movies with thunder and lighting and pull them into our own.  Who cares about matching actors or film quality. Phil

I'm kidding, of course.
