How To Write A Comic Book Dialogue
The Grand Comic-Book Database and the goal to 'contain information on every comic book ever published'.
The newly formed GCD grew slowly, using the new medium of e-mail to canvass friends and acquaintances from APA-I as well as other contacts in comics fandom. Early work consisted of indexing information, setting goals, and deciding on file structure. Information was distributed on floppy discs and via surface mail.

Early work consisted of indexing information, setting goals, and deciding on file structure. Information was distributed on floppy discs and via surface mail. The use of e-mail to knit together the group through constant communication has proved important to this day. There had been several previous attempts to set up similar groups that did not have this advantage. The original file structure has changed, and data distribution and collection methods are now almost exclusively over the internet. It is one of several online databases of comic book information, with the aim that this database will be easy to understand, retrieve information from, and contribute to. The GCD project is cataloging information on creator credits, story details, reprints and other information useful to the comic book reader, comic collector, fan, and scholar. The GCD is a non-profit organization incorporated in Arkansas.

19 Jul 2008 at 1:17am KUTE KILLER AKA DIE DIE DIE ?????????????????godstomper
6 min - Jul 19, 2008Bassist and vocalist for two man experimental hardcore thrash noise band Godstomper , Paul Barfo has made a 3 minute short student film billed as the shortest grindhouse film in the world , its even shorter than a film trailer. Synopsis - Based on a story from the underground manga comic The Kute Killer , psychotic school girl assassin Yuki Meiko(actress Elle Ko) armed with her pink painted mac -10 machine gun wants to get rid of a romantic rival Mei Okamato(actress Catherine Kim Poon). Directed by Paul Acevedo Written by Paul Acevedo Cast Yuki Meiko - Elle Ko Mei Okamato- Catherine Kim Poon Digital f/x and titles by Marko Los and Delirium Productions Music composition - Mike Ranzetta Voice dubbing - The Bunny Hardest part of making this film was trying to find a location to film it because in our post 9-11 world of crazed mall shooters and homocidal suicidal teenagers and adults , not many places would ever allow you to have two actors run after each other , one armed with a automatic weapon even if its colored pink. Another hard part was funding since it could have been filmed all on green screen but I tried to go for a more on location look and the grittyness of the location shows hopefully in the film. Plus renting blank firing guns was becoming a huge headache , law wise and liability wise so I opted for some f/x work by hiring Marko Los from New Zealand who has a youtube page ,youtube.com/losmarkoss who has many samples of his digital effects work on his page to do title design , color correction, bullet effects. The other problem was music since it was also a headache to use copy right protected music I opted for original score by hiring Mike Ranzetta from England. He also has a webpage at myspace.com/ranzettacompositions . Another problem was safety since it was shot in studios that are really old , filthy and filled with lots of rusted metal and crumbling walls it be too much of a liability to do martial arts action or jumping. I can write a book on the what nots of making your film by my experience shooting this one. Total budget - $2,000.00 Overall this was a hard film to make even for 5 minutes of quality footage which was actually 20 minutes of footage ( retakes ) which started to be heavily edited over the past 7 months. Now the one question I've been asked is why is so short for the amount of money spent on it? Answer - Money and time . Even for it being a low budget short that tried to go on a no budget , money wasn't a unlimited resource for me if I wanted to keep some kind of quality control and then make a longer film that didn't stick to a simple plot device and then make a 10 minute film that has a good high points and then really boring filler just for times sake. I mean I could have saved a shit load if I just used a cheap camcorder and filmed it in a garage on green but I really wanted to see what experience would be like to film on location and get a real world feel to the film. I just stuck to a basic plot structure - revenge murder - and just cut out any other dialogue that just didn't speed up the film . Plus the longer it would be , it be harder to place in short film fests , on youtube etc....Rediting nightmare etc... Plus studio owners like your money and every minute counts when your using rented cameras , studio rent , hired actresses etc..... Like I said I could write a book on what not to do when making a short film . Film inspired by 70's grindhouse cinema , Japanese , Italian, American , Turkish , Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez but you prob knew that already , Sam Pekinpah violence , Martin Scorcese , Paul Verhoeven except Showgirls. Filmed using a Panasonic ADHV 250x Digital camera with PS2 chip, edited on Final cut on G5 Imac. Next film will be a war film set 200 years in the future and yes , it will have robots. Read more...
19 May 2008 at 5:20pm Comic Book Movie Gameresponderer
3 min - May 19, 2008I show you how to make a surrealist film in a short amount of time. If you decide to make a movie this way, there are a few things you should remember: First, try to keep the dialogue minimal. It works best if you just write the first thing that comes to mind. Second, do a lot of different pages and shoot the best one. That's what we did. Third, when choosing a comic book, try to find one with something you can shoot. You are not a superhero, so it will be difficult to get a shot of you crushing someone's skull. And finally, if you do make any movies like this, send them this way. Comic book page is from the Names of Magic, published by DC's Vertigo imprint. Art by Richard Case. Music is by me. Read more...

23 Feb 2008 at 5:40pm "Capote" trailer Video
Unknown length - Feb 23, 2008 Storyline: From Gerald Clarke, author of the book "Capote: A Biography". "Truman, I've been asked to write your biography. Will you cooperate?" From the other end of the telephone there was a short pause and an even shorter answer - "Sure." And so I began. I thought my book would be relatively easy to write. I had, after all, written many profiles of famous and talented people for Time magazine - a list that eventually included everyone from Mae West to Susan Sontag, Elizabeth Taylor to Joseph Campbell. I had also done a series on writers for The Atlantic and Esquire. Gore Vidal. Allen Ginsberg, the Beat poet Vladmir Nabokov, the creator of Lolita. PG Wodehouse, the comic genius behind Jeeves. And, finally, Truman Capote, who was then the most celebrated writer in America-the author of In Cold Blood, the publishing phenomenon of the sixties and a book that has influenced the writing of nonfiction writing ever since. It was that last article that prompted a call from a publisher and my own call to Truman. I thought my book would take two years, three at most, and that writing it would be a lark, interviews at fancy restaurants and gallons of good vintage wine at the best table in the house. When Truman Capote walked through the door, headwaiters did everything but salaam in their desire to please. "You might say Truman Capote has become omnipotent," said one newspaper, and for a decade and more he very nearly was. I was right about the interviews in fancy restaurants and the giddy gallons of Beaujolais. But I was wrong about everything else. If he had known how long In Cold Blood would take, and what it would take out of him, he would not have stopped in Kansas, Truman later said. He would have driven on - "like a bat out of hell." I sometimes said much the same. What I had not anticipated was the drama that surrounded every minute of Truman's life, dramas in which I sometimes also became a participant. As a result, my own book took more than thirteen years. Some lark! Writing it was the hardest thing I have ever done. It was also the most exhilarating. In search of information I crisscrossed the United States and traveled several times to Europe. One of my destinations was of course, Kansas, the setting for In Cold Blood. I came to know all but two of the main characters in Capote, the movie. Harper Lee, who helped Truman with his research and who was soon to have her own hugely successful book, To Kill a Mockingbird. Alvin Dewey, the lead detective for the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, and his wife, Marie. William Shawn, the editor of The New Yorker. And Jack Dunphy, Truman's longtime companion. The two I did not interview were the killers, Perry Smith and Dick Hickock. They were executed in 1965. But I got to know them - intimately, I thought - through the forty or so letters they wrote to Truman. Most of their letters run several pages, and they are unsparing windows into life on death row. Truman gave them to me, and Dan Futterman, who wrote the screenplay of Capote, is the only one I've ever let see them. Their dialogue in the movie reflects, almost word for word, what Perry and Dick actually said. The movie's script is all Dan's - and a very good one it is - but I was happy to answer his questions, large and small Would Truman have said this? Would he have done that? Bennett Miller, the film's director, and Philip Seymour Hoffman, who plays Truman, came out to my house on Long Island and asked more questions. Did Truman wear his glasses all the time? was one of the questions Philip asked. (The answer: like a lot of other nearsighted people, Truman often took off his glasses when he was sitting down.) So he could reproduce Truman's odd, childish voice - Truman did not lisp, as some writers have inaccurately stated - I gave him audio tapes from some of my interviews. Philip did the rest, and through the alchemy a few very gifted actors possess, he has done more than impersonate Truman. For the length of the movie he has resurrected him. In the last week of June 1984 - he died in August - I had lunch with Truman every day on Long Island, followed by long talks at my house or his. "There's the one and only TC," he said at one point. "There was nobody like me before, and there ain't gonna be anybody like me after I'm gone." That's true - who could dispute it? For a couple of hours, however, Philip comes close. This movie was nominated for numerous Academy Awards. Click here to see videos of other Oscar nominees on Download.com. Read more...
