SLAM! Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 My three OCs are Yin, Sabrina, and Mona Lisa. I'm putting good effort into everything I do regardless, but those three are the ones that I'm going with in regards to above-the-line categories.

Xillix Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Warms my nerdy heart to see people starting to pick out specific formatting choices for their movies since I'm way too interested in that bullshit. That said, @cookie, if you're going into all this you should be aware that using an Ultra Panatar lens on the Alexa 65 will get you a maximum native ratio of 2.65:1 (which is a bit wider than a "flat" Cinerama image anyway) and that the absolute widest field of view you'll get with that setup's widest lens is about 94 degrees, which is a far cry from the 146 degree curve of the screen. Of course it IS pretty close to how most movies in the 60s were shot "for Cinerama" but it's very much a cheap knockoff sorta thing. Just figured I should let people know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just figured I should let people know I picked it because Rogue One and Hateful Eight used it. I don't know if there's any modern lens that can capture a wider field of view. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wanted to point out it's not the same effect. Long story short I went to film school to try and be a cinematographer. Had to drop out for health issues but never lost the obsession with the technical nitty-gritty. If people are gonna be getting into this anyhow I might just do up some kinda better reference guide for people who want to be able to play around with formats. Obviously people are welcome to ignore the entire aspect but I find it entertaining, haha. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAM! Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 So I'm writing Sabrina's plot summary now, and I took a look inside the book and saw something that I want to talk to everyone about. Like most books, the book has a copyright, and it states that no part of the book may be reproduced in any form without written permission. I've seen that others have been able to write stories based off of books just fine, and it's not like any of us are selling plot summaries for money. It's just that I really want to use dialogue from the book. Do I have any reason whatsoever to request permission from the publisher or am I just being paranoid?

I can practically guarantee you they will not care, primarily because they almost certainly will not find out. One thing of note; be very careful with pacing and how much of the book you actually adapt. I wrote the first Amityville Nightmare while re-reading the novel and despite my efforts to cut subplots and the like it still wound up notoriously overstuffed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookie Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) @4815162342 since Fortnight was nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay, what source material was it based on besides the historical event? Asking because I'm putting together a list in the Oscar records thread. Edited January 6, 2019 by cookie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezen Baklattan Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I may be close to landing a pretty big job in another city, but this could really impact my ability to write stuff. Worst case scenario, TES, TLBH, and PI still get posted, albeit nothing else. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
