Tim Bragg - I adore Alan Alda! He also grew up surrounded by vaudeville & burlesque, his mom was a dancer!

I love Vaudeville. I love George Burns and Gracie Allen. I did a few years ago a four page short tribute to Vaudeville, nobody liked it.

Responding many years too late Luis R. Quintero but I'd choose Nia Vardalos. She's the reason I wrote my first screenplay and I'd love to star in my own uplifting comedies as she has as well!

Some of my favourite comedians started in Vaudeville or radio. I relate to Jack Benny because our personalities are similar and our comedy style are very much alike and he has a certain sarcasm that I also have.

I know it's probably cliche, but I'd have to say Spielberg. The guy has been my top film and storytelling influence literally since I was a kid.

Definitely a FCPX user! Was an easy switch from iMovie... I pretty much figured out how to deal with all the bugs so not too much of a hassle. Do you get a regular pinweel though?

I love FCPX...however I could use some help with color grading/mood on a feature. Any FCPX users with color experience? I would love to see a reel and maybe see what we could work out. thx!

I am working on FC Studio Six... I love six. This may be the end of FCP for me if they don't re-enstate Soundtrack Pro and Color...

I am still working in FCP 7 and deciding whether to move back to Avid or move to Premier, at this point I am leaning to Avid. I have experimented with FCP X but decided it is not quite ready for primetime yet. I tried to run my last large corporate project through it and it just didn't hold up. I can say that I loved the keyword process of organizing footage. Very powerful and I wish I had this in Avid. On the minus side I hate the way that audio is handled in X. Additionally the inability to cut and paste selected effect from one clip to another really killed it for me. With effect copy and paste being an all or nothing thing it becomes unusable.

hi my mom has written several books. many people love them and say they should become movies! she puts a lot of detales to make you see what she writes. Ov course she wont let me read them. i just see and hear people raid about them. Since the books are already writen it should be easy to make a script out of them right? her pen name is Kerrigan Rhea
