Though I wouldn’t mind if you gave me a very ninjalicious lesson… 
Blushing. dutchboy208 and Johnny L.A. are having a camera duel for me, and Q.E.D. just complimented my writing? Lo, I think I shall swoon!
Question - Are we going to judge the Arriflex duel just on raw footage, or do you get to edit it?
look!ninjas is also sorry she tried to use coding in her post title. And she’s going to stop speaking about herself in the third person now.
Must…use…RealUltimatePower…to resist! Resist the temptations of the flesh! Do not give in! insert blushing smiley that doesn’t suck
Suck as in lame, or as in… :D:D:D :o

And your cuteness. Let’s not forget that!
And don’t swoon. It leaves marks, unless there’s someone around to catch you.
If you do swoon, let me film it.
Oh, yeah! The camera loves you, baby!
And will someone (**Q.E.D.**, I’m looking squarely at you because I don’t think Johnny will help) show me how to turn this damn thing on? I see “W” and “T” and a hotshoe and everything else looks like foliage.
RTFM, dude.
sits next to look!ninjas to watch the show
throws camera at Johnny
The frikkin’ manual was in Swahili!
EXT. COURTYARD, DAY: DUTCHBOY208 throws a camera at JOHNNY L.A. He misses, but JOHNNY L.A. gets a nice shot of the poor camera shattering on the ground. Shocked at seeing such a fine piece of machinery wontonly destroyed, JOHNNY L.A. reverses his camera for a quick reaction shot. Pointing the camera back at DUTCHBOY208, JOHNNY L.A. gives chase.
JOHNNY L.A.
Local filmmaker chases down a rival. Attractive woman said
to be the cause. Live at five!
EXT. COURTYARD, DAY: COLLECTION OF IRATE DOPERS lynch JOHNNY L.A. for posting in script format. DUTCHBOY208 still doesn’t get girl, who has fallen for Q.E.D.'s “and she’s a good writer” shtick.
What can I say? Being called cute is very flattering, but having someone compliment my writing… I just get all giggly.
Besides, I don’t know if I could love a man who’d throw his camera. I mean, come on! Those things are expensive.
I’d never throw a camera! I’d risk one of my “danger cams”, but I’d never throw a camera!
I wish I could write. I’ve got a script I’ve been meaning to film, but I totally suck at dialog. I have the images in my head (only briefly described in the script, of course) and I may just “wing it” on the dialog.
I’d say go for it. Write out the scenes, get a general idea of what you want the characters to say, and let the actors actually improv the rest of it. You’d need actors you can trust, and you’d probably want to rehearse it a few times so you can start to predict each other, but I think it could come out rather well.
Alias and I have the opposite problem. Loads of scripts, but not necessarily the means to film them very well. And the equipment we do have, we’re still figuring out. But we’re learning.
I have a ton of equipment, but I can’t write!
Fortunately, one of the main characters is dead. No worries about her lines! Actually, I first conceived of this script as a “silent” film. That is, there would be ambient sounds but no dialog. But I finally decided it would work better if people talked.
Anyway, back to ninjas…
My best fiend made a film that’s been called “The worst movie ever made”. One critic said “people have lost the will to live after seeing this film”. (You can read his rebuttal at Film Threat. Personally, I think the "critics have just never heard of Corman or Godard, so they didn’t get the joke.) One of the amusing characters is Ninja; or as I call him, “Pillsbury DoughNinja”. The actor was offended by some remarks about his character, because he’s really into martial arts. He just happens to be a bit short and pudgy. (The same guy had three roles in the film.)
But darling, I didn’t throw my camera… I threw Johnny’s. 
Besides, it was much more effective as a chucking weapon than a pictoral one- look at that bump on his head.
