In Reply to: Casting my first short film... posted by Elmo Machete on September 03, 2003 at 21:35:48:
: It's not like a *real* short film, just going to be shot with a camcorder, but as professionally as one could possibly get with a camcorder (I even tried to make it widescreen by putting electrical tape on the lens - failed miserably, though). Anyhow, the part that has remained uncast through the entire screenplay writing process? Fucking God. God is not cast yet, and I'm starting shooting in a week. Being that it's GOD, she's going to be in there quite a bit. Yarg... I need to know more people.
Do not tape over the lense to get a 16:9 widescreen look. You crop it with your editing program. If you don't know what you're doing, find someone that does.
