Foreign markets will want dialogue tracks on seperate tracks for dubbing in their own language. If these dialogue tracks also contain vital BG/room tone then this needs to be sorted out as well. Stems for foley, fx, score, stereo, surround, etc.. need to be considered also.... Working this all out is a big job, so starting from scratch makes sense to me.

This can all be done with the M&E track... your sound mixer will do a seperate mix minus dialogue so that the foreign market can dub...

You can put the English mix on channels 1 & 2 and then put your M & E channels 3 & 4 on your pal masters....

But regardless of the NLE you use Adam, you're probably not going to be this close to the post production process on Hangar or others based on what you've said? I remember something about you wanting to move on to the next film very quickly as a rule for the future?
 
Thanks Gary!

Another question for anyone who has the answer

At the beginning of the thread you said foreign markets love overly american setting.
When it came to casting and trying to present this idea, did you lean towards more caucasian(or caucasian looking) actors?
 
Before jumping into project 2 there's a lot of work to do for completing a delivery. Delivering a film to the market is full of all sorts of hoops to jump through; the film maker will be busy crossing the t's and dotting the i's.

Audio Deliverables: Depending on the distributor they may want all sorts of multi-track varieties of finished product for the many exhibitoners they serve, theatre, TV, airline, DVD, WEB streaming, etc. Some want two track, some six track DolbySR, channel assignments, Dolby license, music cue sheets, sheet music, synch rights, etc... You have to know ahead of time exactly what the technical & legal deliverables will be. All pre-pro stuff. Often there's a huge list that is exhausting to fulfill.

On Adam

On Adam

I sense a story about german films....

Adam, the distribs that you're going for right now. Did they call you or did you call them after getting calls from the little guys?

How did the buzz from Tom play part?
 
Wow, I just had to catch up on about 30 pages of reading lol.

The website looks very nice and thank you for posting the first 12 pages of the script.
 
Hey if you're not producing and directing the film yourself, is it still likely that you can dedicate nearly 80k to talent on say, a 250k budget?

i.e. Hiring a Producer and Director..

Very time consuming, but actually a simple process. If you have takes slated and labeled correctly and the same thing with the raw audio, you can sound sync manually to the camera audio, and it's fairly straightforward. It took me about 10 days, 8 hours a day on average.

No, I was talking about the script. I didn't like it, but, that's just me. I'm curious if somebody would buy a script like this and how much you can get for it. Funny, I think this thread is more a work of art than the movie itself. Anyway, good luck. Sorry for my English, I'm not a natural born "hanglish" speaker like Scagnetti for-instance, ha ha. (I didn't liked the poster either, with two casings and some ketchup on a dirty surface, in black and white maybe, you can get something much better, the realistic way... The blood looks artificial and the casings are clean??? Hello? Anybody there? Upstairs? And the title characters suggest a french melodrama. http://www.imdb.com/media/rm849580800/tt0796335 Maybe Corrado could do some rhymes, or some singing and bellydancing, or to be a gay, the first gay hitman, now that’s a twist...) "I do wish we could chat longer, but... I'm having an old friend for dinner. Bye"

I read a lot of scripts and I can tell you what struck me first about the opening scenes and first 12 pages, "He could have very easily gotten it produced else where or sold it had he sent it around through an agent" ...No-Problem... He chose however another way for his own reasons.

The script is what it is and is right on the money. Its a wonderful and fun cinematic romp with lots of action and humor & the dialogue is excellent to boot.

The fact that the lead actors said yes after reading the "Corrado" script, and said ... YES = AGAIN !!! ... To "Hanger" after being on set with him ... Says It All = End of Story.

Any&All negative OPINIONS melt in the heat of that FACT.

So the statement "Fate" meaning "Future" and "Sealed" meaning "Secured" is accurate wouldn`t you agree? = Since he started one project ( "C" ) and completed it and now based on that merit steps into his next project ( "H" ) with Greatly Skilled known Actors who have commited to already being on board.

Does that not prove something?

Or are you saying that your Opinion out weighs Tom Sizemores Critical-Judgment when evaluating the calibur of a script?



Dogday.

wheres chandler bing when you need him? gay hitmen and belly dancing? hed have a field day with that one. oh the jokes

adam, did your bold disappear from copy and paste? or did you write it like that?
 
Not so fast, Jafar...First of all, I said: “I didn't like it, but, that's just me”. So this is my private opinion, and I have no intention of making proselytes. If this is a marketable script, this is a very good news for me. You better wait to see the merchandise and cool down securing futures. Those actors were paid also. If the money comes, they would probably do any decent script. But decent is not enough in this line of business and a secured future of low budged movies it would translate as failure.
And, as long as we don’t have a real feed back from Corrado, any opinion about, it’s a speculation, so your “c” premise it’s not so solid, isn’t it? You better learn some logic before preaching the syllogism.
“Greatly Skilled known Actors who have committed to already being on board.
Does that not prove something?”
Of course. It proves that they need to work.
I really don’t think his fate is so sealed as a writer, and who are you to seal fates so easily, anyway? I spotted some weak elements in those twelve pages, and I have made my opinion. But enough with the script.
The poster sends a message of fake and it still can be fixed.
 
movies are subjective and people are entitled to their opinions, so djinjis shouldn't catch a verbal beatdown for being blunt and giving his, the fact is everybody isn't going to praise our (everyone on this forum) films no matter how good it is. there's people out there that hate Titanic. so what. the only thing that matters is that the movie has more people that like it than hate it. at the end of the day it doesn't matter if somebody hates Corrado at this stage, the director is making it happen and is learning a great deal from it.....not only that...the dude is sharing his experience with his fellow indie filmmakers...how much more real can you be than that?

personally i hate how some indie filmmakers make larger budget films like this and stay tight lipped about the process and treat it like it's rocket science, etc. once i secure the funds for my next feature i'm gonna make it an open discussion just like adam.

djinjis you shouldn't base the entire film off the first 12 pages, you have no idea at this point how good or bad the movie is. i've read some bad scripts of produced movies that turned out to be filmed great. you never know if the filmmaking is stronger than the writing. the script was just the selling point and blueprint of the story, it doesn't have to be flawless. i wasn't knocked off my socks by the first 12 pages either BUT i can tell adam can write, the pacing was excellent and the dialogue was beliveable and more importantly the CONCEPT is interesting....which is most likely why the actors signed on. those elements are enough for me to buy the film when it comes out. everything else remains to be unseen.
