I've made shorts before, and this one is pretty simple compared to past efforts. The car is simply borrowed, and I just have to plop my actress on a bus and tape her as she exits. Not too difficult.<BR/><BR/>I could do "how to fry an egg", but the egg would have to be the result of some weird time/space anomaly for me to be interested. <BR/><BR/>Maybe by the time I do get to my thesis film, I'll have something really nifty up my sleeve. You'll just have wait and see...<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the feedback!Scott Egglestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150026764159298322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877439239195370071.post-76412097045558710242008-06-04T08:51:00.000-07:002008-06-04T08:51:00.000-07:00Like the other guy said, it reads great. However,...Like the other guy said, it reads great. However, it sounds like a lot of work for an intro assignment. There are easily a dozen set-ups, three actors, exterior an interior shots, automobiles and buses that have to appear on cue. I think it might be a little aggressive for what will probably be the first of many class assignments. "The Payoff" sounds to me like thesis work. Why not try something a little more simple, like "how to fry an egg".PunkmonkeyEdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14471516528818318547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877439239195370071.post-84863541798191895362008-05-31T11:30:00.000-07:002008-05-31T11:30:00.000-07:00Read it, looks great!

I think I missed some plot points in the beginning (yeah, really fast read).<BR/><BR/>It'd be fun to work on.Allan W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04757211592520536558noreply@blogger.com
