Film / Media I Am a Brilliant Movie Director
Posted by Ned Lannamann on Mon, Jan 5, 2009 at 4:47 PM
Thanks to the web-based application Text-to-Movie, available on the Xtranormal website, I am now an excellent director of animated features. How did I do it? Well, first you need to write a script.
Here is the marvelous and compelling script I wrote, based on a real conversation that happened today at the Mercury office.
SCENE 1 EXT DAY
X: I want soup for lunch.
Y: I prefer chowder.
X: No! Soup is better, dummy.
Y: In fact, you could even call me a "chowder head." Ha ha ha!
X: Shut up, chowder dick.
Then all you do is enter your script into the little boxes, choose the actors, select some camera angles, and add a pre-selected soundtrack (I choose "Funky guitar high hat.") And voila! After a few minutes of such clicking, here is my masterpiece:
It's that easy! Move over, Pixar. Click here to make your own! (In order to "publish" your movie and have others see it, you will need to register w/your email address.)

Since you turned my "art" into commerce with your animated movie, I will now be suing you for improper (and unauthorized) use of my "chowder dick" comment.
I hope you took your two fifteen minute Union mandated breaks during the film making process or there will be hell to pay come Oscar time.
If I hadn't personally boycotted use of an isolate ellipsis, I would totally put one here.
I made a movie too! It's on faceofthecookie.
That's where I put it. My movie is about Gossip Girl.
I did not steal it from Ezra.
