I currently am learning about making movies at school so I want to make one. Well, at first just write the script. And maybe in the future I'll use my sisters thousand dollars worth of movie making software and her video camera. I am having a little trouble. So I need your help.

Please give me some names of characters, or any other things that could help with my movie. If I someday make the movie your website/name will be in the credits.

i'm not revealing anything (or I just haven't thought of it). All I want to do now is to write a script. Or at least get a good storyline.

My idea for a movie.

Characters:

Dweeb (played by Database)
The DB Gang (played by EVERY member of this forum)

Plot:

Dweeb hangs around the shopping mall begging for money. Nobody gives him any 'coz he is being really annoying. The DB Gang take offence to this constant begging and beat him to a pulp.

THE END

Look, kid, nobody is gonna take you seriously if you keep hanging around like this. You want to write a huge killer script but you can't think of names for the characters? Try doing some serious work in DarkBASIC or something other than ask for help in odd ventures to make cash and people might treat you with a bit more respect.

Well, I took a "film&video" course last year at my high school. Basically, we learned how to record and edit videos digitally. At the end of the course, it was our assignment to produce a 5 minute or so short film infusing everything we learned. I seriously enjoyed it, but I think my project was one of the brighter crayons of the box.

Basically, I did a script of a friend and me being sucked into my favorite PS2 fighting game: Virtua Fighter 4. Using my martial arts expertise, we coreographed an awesome fight for all the ladies to oogle at.

I've made films before. I used to work in Computer Television so aside from all the techie involvement in various films and rock concerts i've also acted and even have the distinction of turning down a part in the film Braveheart (yep true, no I dont kick myself) and Ivanhoe - i've edited a sporting video, written some short scripts, developed new televisual effects and acted scenes in auditoriums crammed full of 20,000 thesbians. I'm a jack of all movie sub-trades.

Thefore I give you my recommendation for a character name:

Bob

See, what a cool name! One that could only be arrived at from somebody so experienced in the film making industry as I am. I'm great to give you such a marvellous name to use, all worship me please.

PS: Yes I really am that sarcastic.

Wait.....you're just now learning about movie making and you already wanna make one yourself? and you have another thread asking for money?

what kind of "movie-making" is this - are you talking about CG/video game stuff or movie-theater quality stuff?

So let me get this right

1) Making worst entry and a few good ones that will win the retro comp in 2 days!
2) Making a movie
3) Pestering companies for free stuff
4) Making game in DBPro
5) Websites and learning HTML

anything else to do in your spare time ?

I would suggest focusing on one avenue for now.

My bad. Don't get me wrong having dreams is a good thing but its always best to put all your energy into one thing to start off with till you get to grips with that to a good level before starting another project.

Since this topic is already pointless, I decided to see how many "J" names I could give in 2 minutes.

Pointless ? It's not POINTLESS. We have here a difficult case of schizophrenia. The poor guy doesn't know what he wants, he doesn't even know if He wants it, or if somebody else wants it (that's schizophrenia). We have to help him out of this disease.

I guess it all depends on how you grow up on the internet. I grew up just experimenting with stuff, and then trying to make my own thingy like it. Thus, I know much more about modifying things to make it work for me. Although I don't put that skill to good work, ehhhh..... Anyways, its prolly because he never has been on a board, and he is 13, and he is part of the "cool" gang in school.... o_O

5? How do you keep track of them>

I tried RGT too, but I don't like it very much, so now I only use this one. RGT takes like 5 minutes+ to load, when this one takes milliseconds. I have to scroll to the right whenever I want to rea something. An I hate the color scheme.
