New Website for Up-coming Brit’ Indie Western

2008-05-15T12:37:55-05:00

Hi,

I want to draw attention to a new site for the Last Coiner.

First we had the site for the novel, which many people from here visited. It also sold well.

Now, the follow-on film is drawing itself together, and there’s a site.

http://www.thelastcoinermovie.com

Drop by often, it’ll be better as we go!

Best,

Keith

Good morning everyone.

I have just received for my birthday a gorgeous HD camcorder - it has been a surprise, really - which now I have to learn how to use and exploits at its most. Above all, since I come from photography world, I’d need some SIMPLE software to put together trimmed movies, adding some sound and titles and getting my first home made movie. I’d like to experiment a bit since in July there’s my first niece christening and I’d like to be ready to realize something nice for my brother.

The camcorder I have is the SR12E by Sony. Again, it has never been my field and I have no idea at all on which programs I need and how to use them. A simple and free program is welcome too.
All the best, thanks in advance.

Want music for your films?

2008-05-10T15:36:55-05:00

Hi guys,
I’m Emmett and I’m administrator at http://www.filmandgamecomposers.com

Its a free online forum for composers of music for video games and films. I would advise you to come on over there if you are looking for music for your films, as there is a large number of diverse composers there already, waiting to make music for your films, ranging from amateur to highly experienced levels.

As I said, its a free forum, with no ads on it, and I make no profit from it.

Hopefully you will find it helpful :)

How do I get started?!?!?!?

2008-05-07T14:04:29-05:00

After I graduate this Sunday, May 11, I will be finishing up my job in Champaign-Urbana, IL and moving to LA in either September or October...hopefully. But I don’t want to move until I have a paying job (not necessarily in writing).

I have experience in journalism, property management, and fundraising, so I am looking to get a job in one of those areas while I figure out how to break into the film industry.

Basically, I’m trying to find a job there so I can at least get started on my career in screenwriting/film. I have VERY LITTLE experience with screenplays but was born to write! I know I can make it but just need to get my foot in the door. Any suggestions for someone without training but who has a passion for writing?
