Antiques

Hello everybody! I am a D.C. based filmmaker. I am starting a new project that involves a scene in a living room decorated in Victorian style. Looking for antique furniture for the design. Can somebody recommend places that rent antiques in D.C. area? Thank you, really appreciate any help

Propshop Chicago

Aleksandra, please send sketches or images of items (propshopchicago@mac.com). D.C. is not that far from Chicago.

Has anyone used pinch dogs before?

Love em! We use pinch dogs all the time in our shop. Smaller and less expensive than big pipe clamps and work,just as well if not better. They dont really work with luan though.

How to save script from celtx studio

hello everyone i am Dilli R Chapagai from lansing,MI. i am new user of celtx. i wrote a screenplay in celtx studio but didnt know how to save it in my computer, any help would be appreciated, i need to attach the screenplay file and send to someones email but i dont know how to save the screenplay from celtx studio in my computer(HP). thank you

David M Hyde

Dilli. You should have a PDF tab at the bottom, below the screenwriting window. It took me a while to find it too. Not in a very logical place. Once you click that tab you can 'save as' to your computer.

Amber Lucille Brown

When I go to close my new file it always gives me a few options. One is to save to celtex and the other is "save to local file" Hit the second one and then it will give you options to save your file in documents, movies ect. on your computer.

thank you both

in DUBLIN, IRELAND next week.....

Excited to be heading to Dublin next week (Monday 9/29) for the first time. I'll be working there but should have some free time here and there to explore... it would be great to connect with like minded individuals on my down time... maybe meet up with a photographer to do a shoot or....? I'm open....

--completely agree. The best advice is to hike, chat, imbibe a little, eat, explore. Have you the time to go west, Doolin, Connemara, Keem Bay?

Merchants Arch bar, right outside Temple Bar area, has the best live music in Dublin in my opinion. I just got back from my second trip to Ireland this year, so PM me if you want/need advice on places to go :)

Thanks everyone!!! I had a blast in Ireland... worked a ton, but I DID get a little time to explore!! Amazing country, amazing people!!

Chicago Meetup?

I am visiting Chicago after NYC next month arriving 22nd and free that day and maybe 23rd. Would love to go to a meetup if one is arranged during my stay. Any interest? Is there someone already organizing one as I cannot seem to find one posted yet.

What are your favorite DIY sites for props and costumes?

Hey all! I wanted to share one of my favorite sites that I've used for fantasy props and ideas. I'm wondering about other sites out there like it. If you have a favorite, please share! Mine is pretty fantasy specific and not totally geared towards film - more geared towards fun, but I've definitely...
