Another ridiculous politically-biased article...one more you lose me.

Article Comment – Aaron Sorkin's Post-Election Letter to Daughter: 'We'll F*cking Fight'

Aaron Sorkin is too full of fresh premium Sushi & $100 steaks to be thinking straight. You know what - and more power to him. He's a very talented man. Down those $40 cocktails…but don’t you DARE tell the salt-of-the-earth populous how to think (and how to vote).

Also, I'd suggest you keep nofilmschool.com apolitical. I don't...and don't think anyone comes here for their news. You're setting yourself up to loose visitors.

Article Comment – Watch: Pushing RED's 8K Sensor to its Limits

That comparison shot had to be with the 6K Dragon at ISO 2000 with the Skin-tone Filter in. I've shot my Epic Dragon at ISO 2000 before with the Standard/Low-Light OLPF's and never received something as noisey as that image.

Great video but not a great comparison.

Article Comment – Hard Hitting Screenwriting Advice from Aaron Sorkin, Danny Boyle, & Steven Spielberg

Awesome video from the Academy! Regarding the best approach - I think it REALLY depends on the person. I personally find far more success when I'm slow & methodical. When in a slump - I often read everything I've written from the beginning and the next scene or piece of dialogue just comes naturally.

I think the flow of a screenplay and writing with the emotional context of previous scenes is incredibly important.

I edit in a very similar way. Take it from T.E. Lawrence (An absolute master of the English Language)

"All the revision in the world will not save a bad first draft: for the architecture of the thing comes, or fails to come, in the first conception, and revision only affects the detail and ornament, alas!"
