First of all, to protect your rights, write it down and apply for copyrights.  Write several versions.  Secondly, film it.  There are several film festivals that allow independents to compete.

Bring a couple of changes of clothes.  You probably wont need them, but the time you dont, the wardrobe dept will decide they dont like what you are wearing.\n\nTurn off your mobile phone. Dont just turn it to silent. \n\nFollow direction from assistant director.\n\nIf you are working with people who have done it before, get them to help you.\n\nDont approach the stars or try to take photos.\n\nMime talking to other extras.  During rehearsals, you can whisper a conversation which will give you an idea of what to pretend to say.\n\nDont knock over any scenery or props.\n\nYou will have to film the same scene a number of times from different camera angles.  Try to match the action in each shot.  Be aware of your starting position and whether you start on 'and', 'action' or a couple of beats after 'action'.  Get a few ideas of where you should be at different points in the dialogue in case they film only part of the scene in later takes.\n\nReact to what is happening in the scene.  If the main actors are in a fight, look at them.  If they are just talking quietly, ignore them.  Unless told otherwise, do what you would do in real life.\n\nYour eyes can be in the general direction of the camera, but dont focus on it. In both senses of the expression.  If its in the background, focus on something in the foreground and vice versa.  Concentrate on the action, or one of your fellow extras and you will soon forget about the camera.

you may try this, its a bit ambitious but it will work.  get a group of skilled professionals together. go someplace that you find exciting and interesting and film your entire trip.  make a quality film and sell it to national geographic or discovery, or pbs.  if you  dont get enough good footage or its not "professional looking" you can still use it to sell yourself and your idea the one of the "big boys"... you not going in cold and getting THAT job. another way is to go to a media arts school and work at your craft.... and always be persistent dont take no for an answer... esspecially from someone who cant say 'yes'

You will need to submit a "tryout".\nHe will need to show his stuff in a movie.  It can be homemade and saved as mpeg.  Then submit to any number of the companies in the industry.  You should be able to get a list via the internet search engines.\nIf he's got it and they are interested they'll contact him.\nIt would help if he had some action shots.  If you are so inclined to help him out then who knows maybe it will be your new career!\n\nGood luck.

Before you make your movie... decide what it is going to be about.. and how it is going to be made..\n\nif other people are going to be in your movie.. you will need a signed release from them giving you permission to use the video of them.. or from their parents if they are not 18 yet..\n\nMake up a story-board with the scenes layed out so you can get organized for sets... you can draw crude pictures <stick figures are good> for major scenes... this will help you determine how people will be dressed, etc....\n\n design your script.. if you need it.. after all the planning is done.. go out and record your video.... hopefully on a digital camcorder so you can easily get it onto your computer...\n\nthen.. capture your video onto your computer...\n\nafter you get your video into the computer.. you will want to edit it.. cut out some of the mistakes... re-arrange some of the scenes... maybe add some background music.. or add titles <or maybe sub-titles>... what you can do.. and how big the movie can be depends  upon your software and your computer.\n\nI like Pinnacle software.. it is very powerful video editing software.. also a bit expensive.. but I won it so it was free for me... you can also use Windows Movie Maker.. or if that is not good enough.. try Serif's Movie program.. it costs a lot less and is ok... there are many many programs to capture your video from your camera into the computer.....\n\nwhen you have the movie the way you want it.. you publish it to DVD by burning the DVD.. as a video DVD.. not data\n\nI would also suggest that you burn a data dvd so that you can come back later and make modifications from the original data.. a good backup practice makes it nice if your hard-drive gets messed up!! hehe

Simply use Windows movie maker. It is good enough for making or creating a home video. Just convert your video to a low quality and upload it on youtube or any other site.

As a hgih schooler, be sure to do really well in your English and Art classes as they are most relevant to film. Also, if your school offers any elective classes that are media-related, sign right up. \n\nAlso, most film schools will require that you submit to them a portfolio of work which will be the most important part of your application. Find a video camera (doesn't have to be high-tech) and start filmmaking! Write a story and shoot it. If you don't have a lot of money, there are basic movie editing software programs on Windows. Or if you have the means, get Final Cut Pro. Just start filmming everything! The mroe you practice, the better you will be, That is the ONLY way to learn...Also, if you don't have access to a video camera, film schools usually will accept still photographs as an alternative. But start thinking abotu your protfolio now. Find out what colleges you want to apply to, and check out their admissions requirements.\n\nWhen it comes to film schools, don't pick a school based solely on reputation. In the end, no one will care what college you went to or if you even went at all. In the end, it will come down to how talented you are and how your portfolio looks. That being said, choose a college that offers film production that is small, and most importantly has a very high equipment to student ratio. At the big-name colleges like NYU, there is not enough cameras for way too many students, making for a terrible learning environment....I attended SUNY Purchase, and they have a top-tier program that is highly successfull. And ithe tuition is only 4,000 a year! \n\nIn the end, you need to posses the talent and visual creativity to be a storyteller. To get noticed, you need to take chances and be orginal. Always make sure you have something to give to someone so that they can see your work. Don't get discouraged because people will tell you that you will never make it. Just have thick skin, be determined, and work as hard as possible. Being a filmmaker is one of the toughest, most cut-throat and life-consuming industries, but it is also one of th emost rewarding and exciting fields as well. All the best!

I just bought a $30 webcam (which is great for my purposes) and I just use windows movie maker (free with XP) to make stop-motion animations and the like... you can just take jpgs (from your digital camera or ones you draw on your computer or elsewhere) and stitch them together in WMM... I also have PaintShop Pro which comes with Animation Shop for doing the same...

There is 'Windows Movie Maker' under C:&#92;Program Files&#92;Movie Maker.  If you had a bunch of pictures you took, you could make them into a movie that way... the problem is that WMM gets overwhelmed with too many pictures at once, and you can't easily make them shorter than 1/8 second per frame.\n\nIt might be easier to put them together using something like VirtualDub which can take a bunch of frames and make it into an AVI.  It's open source software.\n\nAlso, check your camcorder because they often have a 'stop motion' feature to take multiple snapshots and turn it into a movie.

Rent the film, cheap skate.  Don't rip off hard working people.  I have money issues too lady, and as a pro musician, I don't appreciate illegal downloads.  I have family to support and so do people who made that film.  It don't take much to rent film.
