Expand postSo many creative people in one place. Wow. I would like to introduce myself. I'm Tim Ramsey, now retired army officer, author of two fiction novels (Unnecessary Evils and The Deadly Tropic Snow), fisherman, surfer, traveler, Facebook ranter (if there is such a thing, and one of the most sarcastic people on Twitter. Life recently took a turn for me. Instead of going back to the Middle East with a defense contractor, my father passed, so I'm here in Naples caring for my mother...and fishing. Well, and selling boats part time. I know it sounds cliche, retire and go to Florida and become a boat broker, but I promise no Hawaiian shirts or loafers with no socks. I have been half-way though my third novel for about a year now, planning to get back to it soon. Meanwhile, I'm becoming more and more interested in travel writing and writing about fishing. If anyone hears anything about that let me know. Sorry for being so long winded. Hope to connect soon. Tim
Welcome, Tim. I too spent a long time in the Army, though mostly in the reserves. Military experience gives you a perspective (and a bunch of good stories) to bring to your writing. Best of luck.
Welcome Tim. Sounds like you have a wealth of experience and knowledge under your belt, it would be a shame not to use it :-) There are lots of creatives here, really nice people :-)
Welcome Tim! And thank you!

Blake says that before you begin your script you must place all your index cards on 'THE BOARD'. If you do it correctly you will have 40 cards & no more. Each index card represents one scene. (STC) PG 102 RB'S APRIL CONTENT CHALLENGE

Expand commentI know I've said this before, but there very well are a whole bunch of concrete rules that a writer must utilize in writing a story. There better be a premise. There better be a set-up and a pay-off. There better be someone/someones trying to gain something. There better be some ways to prevent that gain from going so smoothly. There better be some twists. There better be a climax. There better be rising action. There better be a plot. There better be pacing. There better be effective dialogues. There better be main characters who aren't one-dimensional, who are active, and who have dramatic needs. There better be scenes, sequences and plot points. There better be conflict and tension. There better be struggle/struggles. There better be some universal feelings that we can relate to, no matter how foreign or cerebral the subject matter of the story may utilize as the vehicle that moves the story along. Those are rules that I'm sure we can all agree on. And I"m not even mentioning a B-story, reversals, archetypes, transformations, catharses, subtextual dialogues, or epiphanies or other dramatic elements and devices that are pretty essential to brilliant drama.

Expand commentBill – you and I must agree to disagree on this matter (maybe we have a semantics issue.) I contend that there are no rules in screenwriting although there are many deeply entrenched customs and traditions that I advise new writers to know, understand and follow if they seek success. Every story has a natural ebb and flow; a certain rhythm – some good, some not so much. I agree that there must be a premise, a plot, a beginning, middle, end and interesting characters, intertwined A and B story and so much more. To me – I see these as laws of story nature. Not man’s imposed rules. If you drive too fast around a corner and break nature’s law of the coefficient of friction, you and your car wind up in a ditch. If you drive too fast and get caught, then you’ve broken a driving rule – and you’ll pay a fine.
I agree with Doug. There is no set formula. Compelling story & characters is key.

I have a shot against a bright overcast sky where I picked up a piece of dust on the sensor. I can't re-shoot this scene. I edit with Premiere pro. Is there a way to remove this particle and blend it with the surrounding sky....similar to what I could do in photo-shop? Any advice that you can provide would be much appreciated. Thanks, Jerry
I don't know if you have After Effects. If you do you can take the clip into After Effects and use the clone-stamp tool (same as Photoshop). Export after the fix and bring it back into PPro.

Expand commentThanks to everyone for your tips. The shot I need to correct is a thin line off debris on my sensor that appeared on an almost white overcast sky. I'm using Pr and have had small success by creating a jpg and then cropping the defect. I'm just trying to find out how to change/blend the color of the surrounding area into the cropped area. I've tried using the Gaussian blur with some success, but still can't figure out how to blend in the surrounding color/exposure. I'm doing this as favor for a friend and can't afford Ae.
