She must have asked God to grant her a "safe journey" into the promised land.

If Mariah Carey's "greatness" is part of what makes the relationship possible.

I took some time off to shoot and edit an event video. I can't believe how time-consuming the editing process it; You literally have to watch every second of the footage several times to know what to cut and what to include in the final footage. I have gained a new level of respect for those who do this for a living; their job is probably harder than movie editing because there's no script to guide them, less time to edit, and less money involved.

It's been almost a week and I'm still trying to make sense of the 4.5 hours of footage I got. After two bad attempts, I have finally compressed the main ceremony into a 36 minute video. I'm going to create a second video showing arrivals, departures and stolen shots that didn't make it into the main video. When that's over, I'll have more time for film-making. Meanwhile, I've learned new things about my camcorder, DVD production, editing, etc.

The first reply is spot-on. It's childish. If he 'fails' you won't dump him. You'll try again later.

You're right, email is better.

Alas, I'm not looking to buy scripts right now,
I'm still working on my little super hero movie.

How is it different from sites like www.youtube.com and www.blip.tv ?

What is the logline of your story? That's what sells a script.

Thanks for that tip. What else can you add to that? Tips for making and keeping film-making friends?

Thanks!

@dee02: Positive things only please, sir.

An Aiptek camcorder is not "world's best" by any standards.

Primarily Nollywood and Diasporawood, but I won't mind having some Nollywood or Bollywood friends.

I'll give "beauty" to Christina Milan but as far as brains and acting talent are concerned, I'll give it to Ini Edo. Christina Milan is a musician who sometimes acts. Ini Edo is an actress who acts all the time. A real actress. where acting s concerned, I'll vote for Ini Edo.

Is this a screenplay you're developing?

Any tips on how to initiate and nurture creative partnerships that can boost one's film-making dreams? I've not had much luck with this. Some bad experiences have made me too shy to develop the best contacts I have, out of fear that they will inevitably turn sour. Film people seem to "fall out" a lot, but I want people I can make movies with happily ever after.

Indian movies are known for their music, supported by colorful sets and costumes, flamboyant cinematography, and melodramatic romantic stories. Asian movies are known for their action, supported by martial arts and wire-fu stunts. Hollywood movies are known for their big budgets, supported by everything lots of money can buy.

But what positive things are Nollywood films known for?

My opinion: the down-to-earth nature of their plots, the dynamic (shaky) camera work, the dry-looking locations and costumes: these factors give Nigerian movies a documentary feel. They feel like real life stories. Maybe that's what's unique about Nollywood movies? Maybe they are good at making us feel they could happen in real life? I know that's why my friend likes to watch Super Story; she believes the stories are based on real life stories.

What do you think? What's unique about Nigerian movies? In what respects are they superior to foreign ones?

If you hate me so much, why don't you just sign off and go find a better forum?

Money does not necessarily bring class and vice versa. You might be very rich as a man and yet be a complete asshole when it comes in terms of managing your matrimonial home.

Being a complete asshole has nothing to do with social class. There are complete assholes in every class.

Are your kids based in Nigeria? If not, why not invest in the South Korean stock market?

nigeria's export output has been cut by a quarter due to the niger delta crisis

Thank you.

What do you have to say about SAM MILLA? Do you want him back as moderator, or just as contributor?

Malaria is a solved problem. It can be prevented and cured easily by people who take it seriously.

ok they are appointments. happy now?

You do realize that you are in my house, right? And in the real world I'd throw you out?

What I mean is that they are a disappointment to us.

Obviously, the people you chose are not as you imagined them to be.

I'll marry a woman I can accept just as she is. Habits and all.

If you can't tolerate his domestic habits, why should you marry him? Don't marry what you can't accept!

The problem with mutual funds is their management fee. You can always diversify on your own.

I went through a lot of trouble to choose a font that most people can read.

mdsocks:
In a flash, just saw myself off the okada and on the floor,

I've had a similar experience. The front tire of the okada I was riding passed under a car and I found myself a few feet away. Standing. Till this moment I have no recollection of getting off that bike. I must have jumped, heh.
