Sigh..............
oooookkaayyyyy.....
1)Learn how to properly shoot before picking up a camera. You should be able to tell a story without words.
2)Learn how to proberly edit a scene together. Once again, tell the story without words. The veiwer shouldn't see so many jumpcuts.
3)Learn how to write. You aren't Kevin Smith and you won't be the next Kevin Smith.Try to be YOURSELF. Young filmmakers just don't seem to get this.
4)Once again BE YOURSELF. Don't try to be like whatever is "hot" and populer at the time. Be original and work on whats funny to you.
5) Cast age appropriate. You want someone to play an old perv? Ask your dad or the local high school janitor, not your pimple faced friend who sits beside you in science class. This can also tie into rule 3 in the sense of refrencing dates and pop culture. The line.."...We haven't seen one of those since 1990." What? The year you were born? If you don't LOOK the part don't try to ACT the part.
