DVD Extras, Help, It Might Get Loud & Other Stuff
November 30, 2009
The Extras are here! The Extras are here!
That’s right all three of my features (Birddog, The Gas Café & Kicking Bird) now have extra features. Directors commentaries, interviews, and all sorts of other stuff. A whole new reason to buy your copies before Christmas. If Ridley Scott can bore the crap out of us with all sorts of new versions of Blade Runner (and it’s not even a very good movie) then I can add extras! Check them out @ http://www.angryfilmmaker.com/buy.php
Transcription Software?
I am hard at work on my second book, The Angry Filmmaker Survival Guide Part Two: Sound Conversations With (Un)Sound People and I am wondering if anyone can help me? I am recording conversations with a lot of friends of mine in the sound world via Skype and I am looking for any kind of software that can transcribe the conversations for me. I am familiar with Dragon’s Naturally Speaking but that doesn’t seem to fit what I need because on all of these recordings there are two of us speaking. Does anyone know of any software that is good for transcribing interviews? Something that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, (free is a great price…), and could do most of the work for me. I would appreciate any info.
While I was on the road I got to see It Might Get Loud, the documentary on the three guitar players, Jimmy Page, The Edge, and Jack White. I was not a big fan of any of these guys before I saw the film. Well the film is terrific and while I still can’t say I am a big fan of Led Zepplin or U2 I can really appreciate all three of these guys. Three different styles, but three people who love what they do and are pushing their own boundaries. I’m sure it bombed, there were only 3 people in the theater when I saw it, so check it out on DVD. Well worth seeing.
Time to plug my book… I have to do this, I would much rather have you buy this then one of those books by someone who doesn’t make films, or really shitty ones. You know who you are…
More things from the book:
1. The re-writing never stops... even in the editing room you have to re-write.
2. If you're convinced that a major feature is your future, it’s imperative that you start with short films, to learn your craft and build a track record.
3. Important Law in the Hollywood Film Business: No one ever gets fired for saying "NO!" They only get fired for saying "yes" and costing the company money.
4. Remember, it's that show of respect that's really important. If your cast and crew don't respect you, and like you, but respect is a bit more important, then they are not going to go that extra mile that is going to make you movie better.
