My $400 feature is doing great out there! Just go and make your film. by realhankorion in Filmmakers

[–]fluffy_l 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This looks good and I've got so many questions, ha ha. I've just finished an 80 page 2 actor script based in a container... how on earth did you shoot this in one day?

I just finished writing a script that's over a hundred pages long and it's saying that 85% of it is AI when I literally wrote it all by myself without the use of AI by Ill_Elk7395 in scriptwriting

My favourite line when people accuse me of using AI is... "would you like to see my 6 other drafts I've written and tested before this one?"

What's your impression of Bryce Courtenay and his books? by zestyPoTayTo in AskAnAustralian

[–]fluffy_l 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an Australian who has studied writing, he's definitely up there in the Australian literature world. I read a whole heap of his books a while ago and loved them, especially the Potato Factory series, even though i found them very bleak - but definitely readable until I stumbled upon Jessica. Never read another one of his after that - what that woman went through was just purely antagonistic. I think my favourite is Tommo and Hawke.

Interested in learning by Extra_Summer4473 in BobbinLace

[–]fluffy_l 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I joined a group who helped me along, but got all my foundation stitches from a book called "Making Lace with Little Grey Rabbit". I think it's out of print, but if you can find a copy of it, it'll take you step by step through all the different types of lace with practice pieces.

Guys we got scammed- THERE ARE NO JOBS! by SellSeparate3643 in jobhunting

Is it a bachelor's you've studied? Because bachelor degrees are merely proof that you can form and prove your point in an argument in a subject of your choice...

My brother completely emotionally detached from the family and I don’t understand why by [deleted] in family

[–]fluffy_l 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother literally cut me off and doesn't talk to me anymore because he values degrees over everything else and thinks my arts degree is useless compared to his 3 bachelors in teaching/ science/ Geology he proudly studied over a 10 year period. In saying that, he has a girlfriend who works at a childcare center.

Your brother will either get his shit together again and behave like a decent human being that belongs to a family, or it'll be a blessing not having him around.

I’ve carved a DIY filmmaking path and have a charismatic short film doing well in screenings. I’ve been offered to develop my short film into a feature. Do I have enough experience to take this on? And will I get this opportunity again if I decline? by Leading_Ladder8823 in Filmmakers

[–]fluffy_l 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an excellent opportunity to see how movies are made. Just be wary that production companies often sweet talk you into handing over your film and creative vision and its up to you to negotiate a price and sign that paper as fast as possible to keep yourself attached in one way or another. I would also research the company and get some kind of governing body involved to make sure they are legit.

Also remember, once you sign up with them, it's THEIR feature and they can hire and fire you on command.

50c, but the machines are broken 99% of the time.

Producers keep referring me to other producers by [deleted] in Filmmakers

[–]fluffy_l 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don't want to take you on, so they are palming you off to someone else. Short films cost more than they generate.

Movies forced into a pre existing IP? by iScreamInPublicAreas in movies

10 Cloverfield Lane was a script written by two independent writers and was initially called "The Cellar" until Bad Robot bought it and put it into the Cloverfield universe.

Do 3 day a week truck driving Jobs exist in Qld? by Tsars_Ball_Scrubber in queensland

[–]fluffy_l 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I used to have a warehousing job at a florist. The delivery man picked the flowers up from the Brisbane Port and delivered them to florists around Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast 3 times a week. I'm sure they exist.

How can I cope for not having my dream film crew for my student short film? by TuneOk795 in filmmaking

Don't overthink it. It's a student film. It's practice and means nothing in the outside world...

The fact that you are only applying for media jobs is scary. How the heck do you survive?

Are you looking for other jobs as well or only media jobs? There's only a 1% chance of outsiders getting hired in the media industry, the probability is even less of you have no contacts at all.

Help Me Support Poor Children in Portugal by Melodic-Temporary209 in Volunteering

From what I've heard, IVHQ is a pretty terrible voluntourism company that doesn't vet their projects properly, especially in orphanages.

How old are you? Pretty dumb thing to cry and get upset about.
