At #londonswf Chris Jones deconstructing the #50kisses competition, announced that all the completed uploaded films are going to be available for anyone to re-edit. Inspired idea! That’ll be a fascinating process. I wonder what they’ll do to my film.
Dr Raj Persuad at the London Screenwriters Festival in a talk entitled ‘Writers are Mad’ gave the disturbing statistic that writers who win an Oscar on average live four years less than writers who were only nominated… But that actors that win live four years longer than those who were only nominated. Maybe I should take up acting?.. Or make sure I don’t get nominated for a writing Oscar. That should be easy.. First off… Write a bad script. .. I can do that!.:-)
David at #londonswf described how he feels that he’s so bad at pitching that he walked out of his pitch for Harry Potter. Really nice guy. He helped me with my short Emily’s Dance.
Per Holmes from Hollywood Camera Work, got in touch to tell me about a new app for camera-blocking. It’s called Shot Designer and is available for Iphone, Ipad, Android, PC and Mac and on a quick look seems to be really good. On Android it’s very intuitive to use. Good interface for drawing, plotting and animating what you need to shoot a scene.
Here’s my first go at it. This took me only a few minutes to do.
Great fun to use! Though on a first go I think it’s actually easier on the app version than the desktop. No keyboard shortcuts.
There’s a built in Directors viewfinder and shot list. At the moment the different versions don’t sync up, but Per tells me Dropbox integration is coming soon.
A single-scene-at-a-time release is available for free and the Pro version with extra goodies is only $20.
