Yes, tits bring revenue.  Must have some Vietnamese tatas

i need very little pyro. i wrote the screenplay cognizant of my limitations, so the most i'll need to do with sfx is put together a composite shot of a chopper to multiply it, add muzzle flashes, and shell casings during combat scenes. all explosions are earthy rather than fiery, so i can rent an air cannon. we'll shoot in southeast asia, which will automatically look better than the cheap studio sets budget productions use. our actors kick ass, we got our choice of 3,000+ applicants. my camera guy is a pro and shoots with a RED epic. my post crew has done work on big budget films before, including vietnam movies (dead presidents and the walking dead.)

and gary busey says suck it

Tell Gary Busey I have 5 bucks. He'll offer to suck it.

Also, good luck telling all your unpaid extras they have to be in Southeast Asia. Or Florida.

i have a network of about 80 guys and girls waiting for me in cambodia from some NGO work i did back in the day. i'll source them for extras, scouts, and production assistants. we are shooting in cambodia so it'll work out nicely

anyone who thinks that shooting a feature in 8mm is cheaper or easier than digital needs to promptly kill yoself

Can you not read, or are you just stupid? Given your lack of punctuation skills, I'm thinking your a third grader. What I said was-

Shooting a documentary like it was an actual soldier filming with a crappy 8mm camera would be a cheaper alternative.

Now, go suck some more.

yeah just make it look like crappy 8mm in post that won't cost time or money LOL

actually that would be harder. with a low budget i can frame my shots strategically, especially on big sets  or anything requiring me to construct buildings. but with an 8mm shot i'd have to shoot as anybody in nam with a camera would, with lots of sweeping shots and generally more complete, authentic sets. that costs money. and it's honestly a gimmicky way to tell a story unless you nail it perfectly. and you'd be slapping extra filters and grains and doing color correction in post that would make the workflow infinitely more complex and more expensive, since i'm subbing it out

edit: btw it's you're a third grader, not your. conjunctions get apostrophes, possessive case does not. maybe you're the third grader?

He's a down syndrom version of g5 and blames everything he deems wrong on "those liberal morons". So naturally he doesn't have a fondness for PhillyB

[cookinbrak]

I don't give a crap one way or the other. I just noticed a ton of holes in his story.
