1001 Things never to do in a fanfilm

Post here, will be fun if we avoid spam.

1. Make Jar Jar make out with padme.

 

Hey look, you're already breaking you're rule.

 

ok?

 

2. Post this.


hmm... sorry :leaves:

 

Post about your fractions idea

 

Never look at the camera? pshh ammateurs!

Dan

 

Use fractions and a strange Roman/Arabic numeral combination in your film episode numbering.

 

We already have such a thread.

But anyway:

Keep the time lightsabers are ignited in the fanfilm according to the whol movie's lentgh. That means: When there`s a 2 hours Star Wars with 10 minutes of lightsabers you should avoid getting more than 60 seconds of lightsabers in a 12 minutes fanfilm

 

dont suck

 

Never don't suck. So...suck?

 

Use whiffle-ball (R) bats for lightsabers.

Guilty.

(It makes rotoscoping really hard, and you end up with lightclubs instead of lightsabers)

 

That means: When there`s a 2 hours Star Wars with 10 minutes of lightsabers you should avoid getting more than 60 seconds of lightsabers in a 12 minutes fanfilm

Pfft! Nuts to that. The lightsaber:film ratio should be approximately 1:1.

-Spiff

 

If not greater.

 

have a dancing yoda!

 

"If not greater"... greatest response ever.

 

have Greedo shoot first

 

lol

Who loves ya, Shane?

 

Memorize your lines. Thats a big one.

 

This is things NEVER to do in a fanfilm. And didn't we already have a thread kinda like this a little while ago?

..Then again, why am I complaining about redundancy on THIS forum, of all places?

 

Never use fractions in a serious fanfilm title.

Never have your characters quote from the actual saga unless its 'May the Force be with you' or 'I have a bad feeling about this'. If you don't know what I mean, go watch Dark Redemption. If you don't roll your eyes at the lines you shouldn't be writing any kind of script at any time.

Never CG characters such as Jango Fett or Darth Vader. Not even ILM can make that look perfect. Call up the 501.

Never mispronounce names like Boba Fett. Its 'Bow-buh' not 'bob-ah'.

More later maybe...





or not.

 

Never have Jar Jar in your film at all.

 

lol. In any case. I think it is actually a good idea to have "I have a bad feeling about this" at least once, seeing it is said at least once in every SW movie (new TV spot for ROTS confirmed this)

 

I agree. "I have a bad feeling about this" should be in your film. So long as it's not forced and actually fits the story. I love this line.

 

Direct AND try to act.
