Johnson & Hyten throw their respective hats in the ring

Well, Mark, good luck on this. I'm not really into commercials, not my genre, so I wish you luck, hope you have a good time.

Our script is only 15 pages right now but I think we may have to take a couple of the effects shots out to keep it under 30 seconds.

heheh ... I meant your thread ... I was checking to see if your thread was up to 20 pages yet
:2vrolijk_08:
but good call on cutting a couple of shots to keep the 15 page script under 30 seconds :thumbsup: That'll work like a charm. :grin:

Wait ... a page a second, so he's only half way there at 15 pages, right? .. Right? hello? ... wha-? a page per minu-- Oh, never mind... :grin:







And, yes, I do know that the "page per minute" only applies to feature length scripts. Gosh, just let me have my fun, will ya?

Hey Mark, if you write a snake into the script than you can use some of that footage from an older, non-released fest entry ... might save you a little production time :evil:
 
Character direction, or description?

Most definitely character direction. With such a limited running time it is absolutely essential that each second convey as much meaning as possible. Thus, we are scripting nuances down to the pore level of the human face. How a blemish moves and the amount of spittle flowing from the corner of a mouth can paint volumes of meaning. Was it not Kafka who stated, "even the lowly zit can carry layers of meaning that confound and delight the most hardened heart"?

I actually have been doing some work on Chow Baby (I kid you not). My nephew has gotten well enough to come visit next month and we are actually going to shoot a couple pickup scenes! Cool huh?

Even cooler is the fact that your nephew is recovering so well! That is so cool man! :)
 
has he seen / comprehended the Rekindled dedication?

No, Jack! Its a big surprise. He hasn't seen anything ... not even the roughs from ChowBaby. He knows we won the HorrorFest and he's dying to see the short but wants to wait to see it out here with the guys who were crewing with us on Chow Baby. I'll get some pics when we do the screening and post them.
