I'd say so but maybe I'm biased. Do you have any good / bad experiences when using drones for filming? http://blog.airstoc.com/index.php/top-films-that-used-drones-in-2015/...

Hey Wolfe! Check out the "Meetup" link at the top of the page... there's a local meeting in Arlington on Wednesday. Check it out for details! I hope to see you there...
Working on a plan for the Independents webseries right now. Have a good idea of where the show will start and how it will progress. The biggest challenge is finding people to work with here in Fort Worth.
Hi Wolfe! Are you doing better with your dialogue? I didnt read all the comments in your wall, but something that help me is to take time first with your characters, you need to know them very well, all of them are inside to you. When you get that, you know how they think, their motives, how they ex...

Doing a bit better. Real life kicked in and has kept me off the board for a bit. Been trying to get back into writing right now a bit of a challenge over all with my current workload. :) Thanks though.
A Serial Killer with a vampire motif is hunting and killing men in the city. Captain Wolfe is assigned the case. What he finds during the course of his pursuit is a shocking revelation of his own being and as well as brings up ghosts from his past.
A group of college students go to investigate a story about the military quarantine of a town where an outbreak of a disease that turns its victims into zombies. What they find is far worse.
Tales from the BlackList
Anybody got any they care to share? What has been the experience so far now that it's been open to unknown writers for a year now? I'd like to host my script on the site at some point.
Pedro, good luck to you, just be wary, from my experience the readers often have wildly different opinions over what a script needs to be better. I've rewritten 'sure fire blockbusters' with 'action s...

Such great feedback. Very helpful. I've decided to forgo using Blcklst for now. It seems like a last resort for me. I've got some other irons in the fire, so maybe I'll come back and reconsider at a later date.

Another thing about "readers." You don't know if they're your "peers," what their credentials are. I personally know two who are fresh out of high school and trashed a script of mine that had been rec...

Thanks for the tip :)
How much is too much when it comes to violence in a screen play
Not going to for torture porn or a slasher film style horror in my scripts but trying to determine how much is too much. The violence is part of the story not looking to glorify it and like the idea of implied acts (Slightly off camera so your imagination makes it worse.). For example in the one mor...

My opinion is if the story is just a tool to display violence than it is a slasher. If the violence is a tool to the story than it isn't. Best way to look at it is all the good horror esque films are always something else. Example: Jaws, Alien.
How important is it that these girls are shown as disturbed? If it's integral to the plot, then leave it in. Too much violence is the violence that is there for the sake of violence. If there is no meaning behind it, it doesn't serve a purpose in the script, then cut it.

violence when its only hinted at, for example in reservoir dogs where we only see the shadow of the ear cutting, its better to let the imagination of the audience than to have it explained to them, bu...

Any tips on writing dialogue?
Been working on writing some screen plays and have two in 2nd draft status. I go over them and try and see if I made any mistakes but sometimes I feel like sometimes my dialogue might be the problem. I posted my scripts to Amazon Studios but you don't get much feedback there from the site or people...

Expand commentDrones can be excellent tools since you can use a GPS to program where you want them to be. That means you can set the drone in a position and have it hover leaving you to focus on using the camera gimble. However keep in mind if you are filming in the USA you will have to register your drone and I think there is a different set of regulations regarding drones used commercially vs privately.

Expand commentIf you use a drone as a tool and not a means to an end. Think of it as a more portable dolly. Of course you can get more speed, more movement, but I have seen AMAZING work done with very slow motion that you think is a simple jib crane shot that just keeps going and going ... I think if you are a little unwary yet about drones, that you get your hands on one, play with it, make some standard shot moves, and continue expanding your possibilities. With a little work, you can get a whole arsenal of shot possibilities in your bag. Here is a great starter tutorial on Droning by cinema5D over at Vimeo: Mastering Drone Footage - PART 1 - Shooting Tips from cinema5DPRO http://vimeo.com/141897384 And if you have a techno-creative flair, you are not limited to off-the-shelf drones either: DIY (Drone It Yourself) v1.0 from Jasper van Loenen http://vimeo.com/141897384 Cheers
If it doesn't really move your story along then it is just a toy used to make some shots (keyword: "some") look cool.
