Because I keep forgetting and because it was requested. Assuming you’re on the iPad screen you want to take a screenshot of. Click and hold that home button on the bottom of the iPad (the circle with a square in it). As you hold it, a second later, press and then let go of the …

Four Stages To Writing A Screenplay
So while it wasn’t done in a day, thats mainly because time is a hot commodity. Add up the hour here and hour there and there you go, though I have no idea what the exact number is. I finished writing a screenplay today – and felt like it went through a four stage process, …

The Directors Cut – A Short Film In Bowbarr, Carrboro
About a week ago, Dead Red Eyes worked on filming a short in Carrboro. As it was a short comedy, most of it took place in a bar. And luckily, the wonderful Amanda of Bowbarr in Carrboro, NC let us do the filming during the day in her bar while it was closed (as long …

Writing The Screenplay – Round Two, The Fix Up Review
So we drew up an outline to make sure the screenplay kept pace and didn’t go into those dangerous dead-end tangents. And then we used an iPad app to churn through pages at a fast pace (we’ll be reviewing other apps soon). We exported to Word and needed to do some tidying up. This was …

Scripts Pro for iPad Review
One of the rare moments where I get a chance to really work on screenplays is whilst traveling. And a couple weeks back I had a pair of long flights to endure. However, I’m not one to take a laptop, let alone on a plane where there’s hardly any room to move. But at the …
Lost in Translation – Movie Titles Around The World
In 2013, there is a movie titled “In The House”. But I didn’t quite understand why they needed to call it that, other than for consumer convenience. “Dans La Maison” (its original title in 2012) was fine. The 2013 release in the US is in French with English subtitles and that’s fine with me, in …

Common Questions When Writing A Screenplay
So I did the outline as per the post http://www.deadredeyes.com/how-to-write-a-screenplay-in-one-day – practicing what I preach of course – and it technically took a month, but also took only a day if not less when going by time.

Documentary Films, A Retro Wave of Comfort?
I read an article this week at http://www.vulture.com/2013/04/edelstein-documentary-is-better-than-filmmaking.html – and wanted to do more than drop a mention and a tweet, however time was slim, as somehow this week’s been action packed. Still, the thought lingered for more than a minute, so I was convinced it had me wanting to open it up for discussion. Why are …
