The price is about RM 2200 - RM1250

And ages above 18 years old...

I cannot go is because I'm still under the age and I don't have enough money to spend on it.

If you guys got a chance to go, sharelah experience -nyo

i read that one too. He said "When people ask me if I went to film school I tell them, 'no, I went to films.'" - IMDB. Tular, film school nih mengarut2 betul fees dia. Tisch at NYU USD25k ...

AHA, That's the exact lines that Tarantino said -nyo!

Anyway, I did try learning by films...
I've been watching films here and there, from Era's 1920's till now...
Still searching more for more experience...
Collecting movies the illegal way (Download them), There's no way I could afford the legal way (Buying Original Ma...)

that because he's Tarantino, he's genius so he can adapt style from the films he watched into his films..

movie is the end product of filmmaking..it's not an easy task to put your story into a film..i want to learn that process formally...

tarantino and rodriguez are just one of the lucky bunch, even they're learn about the proper way of filmmaking after they hit the hollywood..

aku ingat lagi time post script kat satu filmmaking board...kene gelak tak hengat nyer sebab tak ikut format scriptwriting...diaorg suruh aku re-write balik ikut format..

terpaksa la belajar camane nak tulis script ikut format...submit...kene gelak lagi sebab screenplay macam buku text..diaorg suruh simplified kan...belajar balik camne nak tulis screenplay...

so kesimpulannya..nak buat film takleh ikut feel sgt...kene ade step by step procedure gak...script satu hal, lepas tu nak kene buat treatment lagi...macam2 beb..aku pun pening

aku ada satu script nih, aku tulis baru2 nih. Ni kira script aku yg pertama lah nih, echeh. Nih aku post kat sini, kasi korang tengok, kasi comment lah. Citer mengerapu jer, saje2 tulis. Memula aku ingat nak submit ni ke Shortcut competition tuh, tapi takut lar Amir Muhammad gelak guling2 baca (bukan sebab bagus, tapi sebab teruk giler), baik takyah. Yelar, kita tak tau expectation org camne tul tak. Script nih 7 pages jer, kira cam short. Korang jangan lah kutuk lelebih ye:

FREAK

p/s: script ni dalam PDF format.

king_kong

buat ikut sukati aku...ngan script macam cerpen..takde head master scene, external master scene pun takde,...term ikut suka aku jer...dialog tak center..macam2 laa...

I've read your script, here's my review...

The format is correct and good...
You managed to create good sense of dialogue, I sense quotable ones...
The flow of the story isn't good enough...
I like the potrayal of the main character but I don't like how others are potrayed and the ending goes...

Anyway, your script is quite good but may not enough the give the 'UMPH' like I expect....

king_kong

aku tak baca lagi, nanti2 la aku baca..takpe cocklea..first script aku lagi macam sial...

TQ for the comment. Memang aku pon tak puas hati gak ngan script tu. Thinking bout repairing it later, especially the part when Sin Ting storm out the airplane cockpit and the carpark, a little bit too sudden IMHO. Maybe i shouldve add something there. And i shouldve open more story on the side characters.

king_kong

hi cocklea, aku dah baca skrip ko tuh, frankly speaking, it got too many plot holes, karekter sin ting tak berkembang, readers tak tau whether he's a chinese or other race(since his parent were referred to as mr. and mrs fellows)..lepas tu ko biar audien tertanye2...what's sin ting deal with psp tu?..kenapa he's so connected to that psp?..must be something right?...the story got good surprise element coz when i read it i always wanna know why sin ting so attached to his psp...its like ade something at that psp...but in the end u let readers tertanya2..that's not good...anyway..its a good story and can be better if u modified it a little...:bgrin:

Thanx for the input. Memang ala2 rushed gitu aku nyer script tuh rasanyer. Yelah, 7 pages, first plak buat. Tu story merapu2. Nak repair banyak jugak tempat tuh. Anyway, aku skang dah halfway thru "Accidentally In Love". Syiok jugak menulis nih, kalo idea tuh tengah mencurah, nak stop tu rasa rugi sangat. Aku skarang dalam proses yg boleh dikata "draft" lah kot, untuk aku nyer next project (rasa cam screenwirter professional plak aku nih :bgrin yg bertajuk Love, Power, Massacre. Aku tanak spoil dulu lah storyline dia, tapi ala2 penuh dengan kisah cinta terlarang dan ada bunuh2, hehehehe.

GAIA, thanx for the sokongan moral. Memang teringin nak send kat dia, aku repair dulu. Harap2 dia cool lar. Ko penah jumpa dia kan?
