Please can i get some ideas. Me and my friends make movies out of my scripts. I rerote hunter and we tried to make it. But we don't have much special effects. But we would like to make a low budget horror movie. So just feel free and give me some names(on this board)

Names of what? Horror movies? If so, may I recommend: http://www.imdb.com/chart/horror

Blair With Project. Doens't get much more low budget.

oh yes, it does and it can

no i mean has any body made a script on this site that could be a low budget film. And the script has to be on this site.

This is prbably bragging but there's a script of mine called Carnation Street. Seems farly low budget, read it here: PS: do you want make it or sumting? I would love it if you made this one. And i will rewritye if you ask. Only one or two locations, three centrel characters, that about it.

http://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?b=short,m=1126435639

this is you're script. And i have to read the script and see if my friends like it. It will be started on tomorrow.

cool. great. will i get to see it? if so, cool (again)

Wait it may take a couple of weeks before i can start to make it.

Bart,

Seven hours after you started this thread, you began another one asking for help with an another one of your script idea du jours.  Focus, you little idiot!  It's bad enough that you keep asking us for help with your damn stories, but now you going to get someone's hopes up by convincing them that you're going to produce his script.  This is all well and good until some other shiny thing catches your attention and you drop this project because you have a cool idea about a dog with a 180 IQ.


Phil

Okay i guess i can't write or produce.  Since you're a good writer you would know. You've crushed me. This really hurt. I am no more. I'll just focus on school and not to talk to anyone. I guess i am an Idot. I can't write Man right  when i got my hopes up. There crushed. To the floor. I guess everbody the king says i can't do anything. I won't do anything when i graduate. I was just here on earth for nothing.

I can't stand these kids...

Sorry. I'm just telling the truth. He's a good writer. And i guess he knows best

I never said that you weren't a good writer.  You're just so scattered-brained and unfocus that you never get anything done.


Phil

He's doing nothing different than anybody else Dogglebe. I believe I could name 8 others who do the same thing and 1 posted in here... I think the "cat" speaks volumes. I'm no good with subtle hints but I think you know who I mean nonetheless.

Wait Doggelbe i tired of being nice. SHUT up. i can' take this. I'll write i will direct if i want to. So leave ME ALONE.

How many other posters here are getting people's hopes up by saying they're looking for a script to produce?


Phil

And Bart?  You aren't writing or directing anything.  You talk about it a lot but, after a day or two, you find another project to work on and ask for help on it.


Phil

YES I WAS. I was going to Direct this. Than put it on Real player. So thats why you should be nicer.

I'm going to stop arguing with you like a nice person.

No but how many others have so many ideas posted that we're sick of them which i believe was one part of what you meant... The whole script ideas part, who cares about this crap as it doesn't matter to any of us but BigWhoop.

People avoid these threads as the people who start them are usually young kids who have nothing to offer.

You should know from experience that they all eventually go away anyway, mostly cause they can't handle the truth.

So let's all just sto arguing.

Could you please act like a normal human being?  Right now you're acting like one of those whiny little dogs that never shuts up.  If you want help, fine, but you are all over the place and your responses make me want to jam my monitor on your head.  There was this other guy who used to post a new thread in the WIP section all the time and they took up over 30 posts, then he'd decide to cancel his project and move onto the next thing.  It's aggravating to read this over and over and over and over and over.  See what I mean?

Ok ok ok ok ok.

You have nothing to argue, Bart.  You know I'm right.  You want to be a PITA by posting fifty ideas a week, and asking for help with each one, that's one thing.  Telling someone that you're going to produce their work when, we all know, you're going to abandon it as soon as the thrill goes it, just plain sucks.  

The writer feels like shit when this happens.  I know this from experience.


Phil

Listen i did this because i know my friends like to make horrors. So i thought since i'm going to get a new camera i would make it. But i guess YOUR the Boss. Okay i heard you guys to tell me right down the idea things so i am. BUT I guess you know everything.

I know you're not going to do anything....


Phil

I actually offered a short to Bart for his project.  Not a horror movie, but interesting nonetheless.  I submitted it to Don a couple of days ago, and am waiting for it to be put up so he can take a look at it.  Not my best stuff, but it's 26 pages, interesting, and something different than what I've submitted before.  My logline rules.

I figure I don't have too much to lose here, but I can see where both sides are coming from.

Mike, I've made deals with people to produce a couple of my scripts (and I'm not talking thirteen year olds with camcorders).  And each time they bailed, I felt like punching someone.  It's frustrating and it's extremely discouraging.  I'm trying to save others from this feeling.


Phil

Phil,

I completely understand what you mean.  This is just a script that I wrote over the weekend, and was submitting to SS to see if anyone "digs" it.  It's not the comedy stuff I've submitted in the past, more of an experiment to see if my darkside still works.  If he wants to use it fine, maybe he'll put it up on Real and we can all enjoy it, or not, and I'll go back to my hole.


Mike

Personally, when I hear someone will produce something, I say ok, here you go, and assume nothing will happen. It makes it that much better when it does. I talked to some kids from Australia once and they wanted a script. I wrote a script and emailed it over (that's generally how I operate; don't give any of my own stuff, but write something new). I went on with my life. Two months later, I get an email asking where to send the DVD. I watch it occasionally even though over half the script got trimmed. It's amusing.

I guess I don't get my hopes up for anything, and at the same time, I have nothing to lose. After all, I'm not a paid professional, but I want to be, so by putting myself out there, who knows, maybe one of those kids will be in the business someday, and think back to when they wanted a script, and...

Listen mike i want to. But he's saying i won't. And i want to.

We've seen your track record with your writing.  Do you actually think it'll be easier to direct and produce a movie than write one?


Phil

Quoted from Toran Listen mike i want to. But he's saying i won't. And i want to.

And that's fine, I have no problem with you using it if you want to.  You can either wait for Don to post it, or send me a pm with your email, and I'll fire it off.  I wish you luck with it.


Mike

Quoted from dogglebe We've seen your track record with your writing.  Do you actually think it'll be easier to direct and produce a movie than write one? Phil

Writing, producing, and directing are different skills, and only a very rare few can accomplish all three of them. Maybe where he comes up short as a writer, he can succeed in directing or producing. A lot of people who produce or direct want to have a script, so they sit down to write their own, only to find that they can't. They know what they want to see, and can spot a plot hole a mile away, but when it comes to actually writing the screenplay they so desperately need, the skill isn't there.

Quoted Text I think the "cat" speaks volumes. I'm no good with subtle hints but I think you know who I mean nonetheless.

You're right-you are no good at it. You may aswell have said "Bigwhoop is a bla" right there and then.  I honestly don't care. Although, I usually don't go onto threads and start accusing someone of something who hasn't been hostile in anyway, and making a sarcastic post about subtlty. I have never pointed the finger at anyone, thankyou.

I never said he was a bad writer, George.  I'm saying he's unfocussed and undisciplined.    I doubt he's only like this when it comes to writing.


Phil

Quoted from -Ben- I have never pointed the finger at anyone...

Unless I'm mistaken, I think that Avitar is pointing the finger at everyone... :)

Oh darn you figured it out, and I was really trying to keep the secret... No, no I wasn't.

Don't get mad at me for being a real member and sticking around even when people don't read my work and also for actually leaving reviews people care to read instead of "I liked it"

If you want to call me on it first take a long look at yourself bigwhoop and then go away for another few months and come back with a new attitude.

Bartman just do what I told you in that pm, avoid the drama and to add it's not too late to build yourself back up in the eyes of the people. Give stuff a go, don't quit and just get some motivation.

He's just a kid i'm assuming. As am I. You guys may be older and know a lot more about writing, but some of you are not proving to be more mature. I don't often contribute, nor to I like conflicts, but it's a little disgusting how some of these replies are going. Seriously I know it's gotta be a awful feeling when some1 says they'll produce you're work and then suddenly jump ship, but honestly dont' tell the guy he's never going to do anything. Everybody needs goals and dreams. Instead of telling some1 they're a blabbering idiot give them constructive critiscm like u guys do on scripts. I know if I were 15 (im 16 now lol so i guess i cant talk) but wen i was 15 i was wide eyed and thinking of huge action movies id make with my friends. I thought of big action movies i would make when i was older. For a group of older guys to tell me I'm crap would pretty much kill my motivation.

But honestly I know where some of you guys are coming from personally, but you guys r attacking him. And he hasn't been nasty back either. Stop and think about if you were younger and having your dream...

Yeah well, welcome to the real world.

Quoted from thegardenstate89 Seriously I know it's gotta be a awful feeling when some1 says they'll produce you're work and then suddenly jump ship, but honestly dont' tell the guy he's never going to do anything./quote] He's not going to do anything because he never finishes what he started.  One day he's asking us for help about his story of a sheep herder who dreams of throwing the discus in the Olympics.  After he gets a few replies, he starts a new thread asking for advice on a story about a blind gunfighter.  After a few replies, he asks for about about his new script about a sentient hard boiled egg. If he keeps bouncing around, he never will do anything. [quote=thegardenstate89]But honestly I know where some of you guys are coming from personally, but you guys r attacking him. And he hasn't been nasty back either. Stop and think about if you were younger and having your dream...

He was polite at first (we all were), but he did get nasty.

And when I was younger (in my teens), I used a typewriter.  It was a much slower process.  Once you started something, you made sure you finished.


Phil

Nobody has focus anymore, the day of the writer is dead. All we have now is unoriginal garbage and the guys who write it know what they're doing is killing the business for the rest of us (Guys and Girls who write original works)

Right now in the state of it all I don't or would not want anything produced as it would be grouped into the filth they produce.

I respect bartman for going independant but Dogglebe has points that cannot be taken back as they aren't to far off the truth if not spot on it.

Again my thoughts and mine alone.

Fascinating opinion there, Wes. Are you sure you're on the right board? Personally, I want to write and be paid to do it. While there is filth being produced, there is also a fair amount of solid material as well. People who write good material get good material produced, and whether or not you group everyone into the filth category (and I just want to be the first to thank you for over-generalizing that one for us), you also have to understand that while writers do write stories that started out as good, producers tend to cut and chop said stories into what we end up seeing. They have the final word.

Whatever led you to this remarkably negative conclusion that implies we should all hang up our word processors and work at McDonald's, I think you're way, way off.

McDonalds? I don't believe I've heard of such a place, though I vaguely remember a building they tore down and forgot to rebuild a couple years back that used to have that name.

Anyway you're welcome. Look I'm not saying you (Or anyone) should hang it up or anything but why else do you think a guy like you (A good writer, good personality, easy to get along with) basically everything you'd want in a professional still be here?

I'm not one to sugar coat my thoughts so it shouldn't be surprising that I’d say something like that.

I still think bartman; to stay on topic should really try this. If you're not confident in your writing skills quit, become a full time director and produce a screenplay. Give people a reason to believe in you.

Mike offered you a script and you've gotten all of this attention which is what you cried out for, what else can you want?

Listen i didn't want attention. I just wanted a plain old low budget script that someone will offer.

Bigwhoop i can not find Carnation street. And Mike where is you're script?

Quoted from Toran Listen i didn't want attention. I just wanted a plain old low budget script that someone will offer. Bigwhoop i can not find Carnation street. And Mike where is you're script?

There were a lot of scripts submitted on the last go round, so Don said it would be up tomorrow.  I can also email it to you if you want.

Quoted Text Bigwhoop i can not find Carnation street.

Here you go (again)

Thanks Bigwhoop. it's all up to my young friends if they want to do it. And thanks for the update Mike.

I was wondering where yours was, Mike.  I'll be sure to check it out when it's up.
