Finding thread - Things to avoid when making a short film...

[HotConductor]

A while back (maybe 2-3 years ago) there was a stickied thread somewhere with a list of pet peeves and cliches to avoid when making short films. It was a GREAT read but now I can't find it! Been searching for a good bit on here, and google. Found a few good articles on google that were close, but nowhere near as awesome as the stickied thread. It listed things such as the intro where a guy wakes up, the short film where nothing happens, dissolve fades, so forth...

Any help would be great! Been meaning to send it to a few people I'm working with!!

reading things that limit creativity is lame.

Being unwise about filmmaking is lame. There is a reason we are all on this board.

The list I'm referring to was similar to this... http://www.filmmaker.com/dumps
