Film watching and making

[TheyCallMeMrGlass]

Random westerns in the street! Do you have any examples? I'll post one of you do! (not a western)

What is this, a spaghetti western shootout? Well my money is on Mr Eastwood...

[TheyCallMeMrGlass]

I shot a relatively good one recently but it's not finished. Still editing. When it's finished I will post.

Come on Mr Eastwood, you're supposed to be quicker off the draw than that, I just betted money on you!

I did make a western for the doritos competition last year! Probably won't be as good as Mr Eastwoods though..

I only had about two hours of planning, LOL... hopefully it'll turn out OK.

there was a time I liked the idea of making movies, but theres so many being made now, theres nothing interesting to me to make that i could manage. I think you do lose some of your imagination as you get older. Youths actually have some of the best ideas around for films, since there imagination is so fresh. There is some amazingly good stuff that people do though. The Lord of the Rings film 'Hunt for Gollum' was amazing. And theres even an interesting version of Doctor Who made by a bunch of school children on youtube.

my brother was in a low budget Stargate parody ('Lets call it a Stargate). That goes back years though.

Grew my hair long for a year to get in as an extra for 'Born of Hope' and all they could offer me was a measly background extra scene.

Born of Hope was an awesome fan movie, Raj. I watched it a few times and I cant get over with how well they fit the movie into the LOTR universe, capturing the same mood and feel of the Peter Jackson movies.

I'm sure you done well in the background becuase I dont recall seeing anyone screwing up

You might be right about losing a little imagination as you get older but I dont think its considereable and I do not think its an age thing directly. When we're young we have more opportunities to exercise our imagination but as we get older, most of us get stuck with responsibilities of our jobs that dimishes our imaginations. There are authors of books who started writing very late in life for instance and their imaginations certainly do not seem at all lacking. Its just my theory and I'm holding on to it because one day in the future I'd love to give writing stories a stab again!

I don't think as you get older you lose your imagination! My friend who makes movies is hitting 40 next year and he makes some crazy original (if you can call anything original anymore) films!

The LOTR fan films are amazing as are the batman films (Dead end, Grayson) and Star wars (Duality, Ryan vs. Dorkman)

I think if people have a good idea then they should do everything in their power to get it to the screen even if it's not you behind the camera! So many of my university friends just gave up and sinked into office jobs and they were talented folks.

So I still want to see some western footage! or at least a plot outline!

I produced a film recently if anyone wants to see it? It was made on a budget of nothing, but I think it turned out alright lol

well you have it guys, if you use it, you dont lose it.

i used to use it when i was 14, then got into sports.... and had a long long break. no more ideas left, apart from during the odd boozy doo.

Right, I finished my street western. It's not really a western, but there you go. Let me know what you think, bear in mind I'm still relatively new to this process.

Well done! You got a big cast for this one! I saw you made your split second cameo in it. Keep it going weirdo, you definitley got some wacky imagination :) Going by your other videos you do love your gunplay dont you Your "House will explode" was pretty funny!

Well so far as predicted, Mr Eastwood is fastest shooter in town...

And oh, Glad to see you keeping the art of headbanging alive, I thought we were a dying breed back in my day..
