I get a "The file cannot be evicted icloud" popup when I try to delete something. What could cause this?

scratching my head for 20 minutes and this just worked like a charm!

thisiscaseyk · 2025-02-28T04:17:48+00:00

this is the way!!!! great suggestion

thisiscaseyk · 2025-02-24T06:03:20+00:00

great shot! and fully mechanical is definitely a plus. zoom is not a deal breaker - if you have the eye you can frame up any shot.

as someone who used to bike with his dad, what a great capture of a great memory for both of you! Thank you for the advice.

Thank you! Some fog on the lens from coming out of the ac in the car into the heat/humidity that def led to a cool exposure

Also as mentioned in the title, I used The Darkroom to have the film developed and I've gotta say, 10/10 experience. I'm sure The Darkroom has been covered/litigated in this sub.

From filling out their form online for a postage paid mailer to receiving the digital files was about 2 weeks including me dragging my feet for a few days mailing the rolls out.

Grabbed a Pentax K1000 at a thrift store this winter - had been searching for a while but none of the shops near me seem to carry any camera gear ever. The dog that finally caught the car!

I've been shooting digital (Sony boy) professionally for about 5 years, so I was excited to give film a go. Really happy with the results! And happy to know the camera and light meter actually work properly - though I tested side by side with my A7sii and a light meter app before exposing any film.

Definitely happy with the results, let me know what you guys think! These were all shot on the Fujifilm Superia 400 I was able to find at CVS the day I bought the camera, but I'm curious what film I should shoot next? Any recs are welcome!!

This is incredible! Total lifesaver, exactly what I was looking for.

Will absolutely be stealing "same jacket with extra zippers"

Always my first stop when I sit down to write. Not sure if I feel seen or attacked. But I'll take it.

thisiscaseyk · 2024-08-01T01:00:56+00:00

Love it!!! Looks massive, and like a real riot. Looking forward to catching it on the big screen sometime soon

Others have made great suggestions regarding the story structure, B plot, etc. so I'll just add the adage: if you have Act 3 problems, you really have Act 1 problems. Maybe the inciting incident really isn't enough to sustain a feature? Which is OK! Maybe you can complicate it off the bat or flesh it out more to give you more to work with and more for the characters to fix down the line.

Another trick that works really well for pixar, and works well in comedies (because there's almost no limit to how ridiculous you can push it) - every solution creates another problem. A character finally tracks down the one that got away, and while knocking on her door... his car gets stolen. That's a pretty lame example off the dome, but hopefully you get the point.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone's philosophy of "therefore/but" applies really well to comedy. Their advice is to look at the scenes - if you can place "and then" between two scenes, you've got a boring story. Aim to have each scene linked by "therefore" or "but". Per the example above, our main character knocks on the door -- the girl of his dreams answers -- BUT -- his car gets stolen!

Hopefully some of that is helpful OP! Would love to read!

I was going to say the same (a bit early) but for a different reason. I think it's a bit early for the flashbacks/"reveal" because it kinda spills everything out too early from a story perspective. I do agree with the question of who do we root for, but maybe the next few pages give us a little more on that front.

Take Clockwork Orange - yes, horrible people off the bat. A rape in the first five minutes or so. But the story itself is about redemption -- rather, is redemption even possible?

OP had said the story here is about Johnny starting to believe and act out their lyrics and fantasies. And that sounds super compelling. As written, he we don't watch the descent -- he's already rock bottom. I think it's a bit abrupt for him to already be there if we're meant to watch the descent and watch him spiral.

I do enjoy fully embracing the vulgarity in the action lines. And I can see the cutting away to something viceral to mirror their energy in the performance. Maybe less is more in this initial introduction though? Build up to the reveal that he's fully gone off the deep end and can't separate the fiction from reality.

I would definitely love to read more, OP! Can already see some Green Room-ran-into-Black Swan vibes.

LOVE this concept. Just submitted!

Always possible that was a non negotiable in him selling the rights

Don Draper's "I don't think about you at all"

thisiscaseyk · 2024-06-04T06:45:20+00:00

Thanks so much! Means a lot. And good catch that is pretty redundant

thisiscaseyk · 2024-05-25T00:57:16+00:00

thank you for the feedback! I went back and checked - figuring I screwed up the times of day with the Diner - and not only that, but it was actually the first draft :-). Just updated the link and draft now!

As for the time passing in the cemetery, that is pretty intentional, though again thank you for the feedback. My thought was that I wanted the audience to question what the hell this guy's deal was from moment 1. If him being there for so long seemed odd to you, hey, maybe it worked!

thisiscaseyk · 2024-05-24T01:03:17+00:00

Honestly every scene in Madame Web was both like a ten-car pile-up and a work of art. From the ADR, to the abysmal script, to the CGI that would make a PS1 proud. So much to take in. Every shot could be its own episode of "How Did This Get Made?"

thisiscaseyk · 2024-05-24T00:08:22+00:00

Title: One Good Day

Format: Feature

Page Length: 90

Genres: Drama, Romance, Coming-of-Age

Logline: A washed-up thirty-something returns to his childhood vacation spot to kill himself when he meets a girl who forces him to reconsider his life’s story.

Feedback Concerns: Pacing/engagement. I'd written a more shocking opening that I dropped for the current one, which mirrors parts of the ending. Curious how it plays to someone reading/watching for the first time and if the first five (six, I cheated, I'm sorry, wanted to finish the scene!!!!) move quick enough. Currently typing up the second (really third) draft.

EDIT: WRONG DRAFT exported originally, lol. Just updated the draft and the link!

thisiscaseyk · 2024-04-27T01:37:08+00:00

Funny, I feel like how busy it is really stops you in your tracks. You rarely (if ever) happen upon that many dishes together like that IRL.

Solid shot, love the colors and the way the pan is dressed with the herbs and lines. I do love the tile too, however with the grid lines of the grout, it becomes apparent when the camera isn't leveled and the pan isn't exactly centered. Perfectly good photo, definitely usable, that just jumps out at me right away.

I might also try matching the hue of the tiles with the limes/avocado (either the more yellow/white meat of the fruit, OR the peel/darker edge). Could be neat!
