Be the ACTOR

Being a movie star is everyone’s dream. And unfortunately, not everybody can make this dream come true. It is because the way to become a star is not as easy as everybody is thinking. It is rough and full with competition. Moreover, it is not many movies which can be produced by Hollywood every year.

But it is not the reason for people to stop dreaming. With Yoostar, their dream will sure be true. Just like a Hollywood director, ordinary people can produce their own movie easily, conveniently, and cheaply. Yoostar movie package consists of huge velvet green screen, a camera, a stand, as well as the software to edit the movie. With this Yoostar package at home, people can be an actor and act with their favorite actress in their most favorite scene on a movie.  They can add the music background on the scenes which they are going to play with the music which is available on Last.fm.

After the finishing of movie making and editing, it is time to post the video on online streaming sites. Although people cannot post it on YouTube, they still have chances to post it on Video.aol. For further information about how to purchase the software and the camera, please visit Popularmechanics.com.

Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life (Paperback)

Think you’ve got a book inside of you? Anne Lamott isn’t afraid to help you let it out. She’ll help you find your passion and your voice, beginning from the first really crummy draft to the peculiar letdown of publication. Readers will be reminded of the energizing books of writer Natalie Goldberg and will be seduced by Lamott’s witty take on the reality of a writer’s life, which has little to do with literary parties and a lot to do with jealousy, writer’s block and going for broke with each paragraph. Marvelously wise and best of all, great reading.

From Publishers Weekly
Lamott’s ( Operating Instructions ) miscellany of guidance and reflection should appeal to writers struggling with demons large and slight. Among the pearls she offers is to start small, as their father once advised her 10-year-old brother, who was agonizing over a book report on birds: “Just take it bird by bird.” Lamott’s suggestion on the craft of fiction is down-to-earth: worry about the characters, not the plot. But she’s even better on psychological questions. She has learned that writing is more rewarding than publication, but that even writing’s rewards may not lead to contentment. As a former “Leona Helmsley of jealousy,” she’s come to will herself past pettiness and to fight writer’s block by living “as if I am dying.” She counsels writers to form support groups and wisely observes that, even if your audience is small, “to have written your version is an honorable thing.”

A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, Seventh Edition: Chicago Style for Students and Researchers (Chicago Guides to Writing, Editing, and Publishing) (Paperback)

First published in 1937, Turabian’s manual has been updated to reflect the fifteenth edition of The Chicago Manual of Style (2003) as well as the habits and needs of today’s students. The chapter on source citation now includes sections on online databases, e-books, and “informally published electonic sources.” A new and lengthy part 1, “Researching and Writing: From Planning to Production,” cautions researchers to “beware of Wikipedia” and “never cite it as an authoritative source.” Another caution: citation software “may save time, but it is not a substitute for knowing the underlying principles of the style.” Quinn, Mary Ellen

“This latest edition of the trusted Manual for Writers not only answers nearly every question related to scholarly writing that students could possibly have, but it is full of helpful and wise advice about researching, organizing, and writing everything from undergraduate papers to doctoral dissertations.” – Paul S. Boyer, Merle Curti Professor of History Emeritus, University of Wisconsin – Madison”

MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, Sixth Edition (Paperback)

From Library Journal
Now a standard for students throughout the U.S., the original style sheet was published in 1951 and the first edition in book form appeared in 1977. This newest edition has been expanded to cover electronic searching methods, using computers to write research papers, and citing electronic publications. An excellent section on library use clearly explains paper and online catalogs. While there is no comparison of different word-processing programs, computers are touted as making the research writer’s job much easier by combining steps and allowing movement between outlines and drafts. The new section on citing electronic formats is done well and with common sense; more than once, the reader is told that if complete information cannot be found, cite what is available. This new edition of a standard style handbook should be in every library.?Lisa J. Cochenet-Cihlar, Winfield P.L., Ill.

Story: Substance, Structure, Style and The Principles of Screenwriting (Hardcover)

Writing for the screen is quirky business. A writer must labor meticulously over his or her prose, yet very little of that prose is ever heard by filmgoers. The few words that do reach the audience, in the form of the characters’ dialogue, are, according to Robert McKee, best left to last in the writing process. (“As Alfred Hitchcock once remarked, ‘When the screenplay has been written and the dialogue has been added, we’re ready to shoot.’ “) In Story, McKee puts into book form what he has been teaching screenwriters for years in his seminar on story structure, which is considered by many to be a prerequisite to the film biz. (The long list of film and television projects that McKee’s students have written, directed, or produced includes Air Force One, The Deer Hunter, E.R., A Fish Called Wanda, Forrest Gump, NYPD Blue, and Sleepless in Seattle.) Legions of writers flock to Hollywood in search of easy money, calculating the best way to get rich quick. This book is not for them. McKee is passionate about the art of screenwriting. “No one needs yet another recipe book on how to reheat Hollywood leftovers,” he writes. “We need a rediscovery of the underlying tenets of our art, the guiding principles that liberate talent.” Story is a true path to just such a rediscovery. In it, McKee offers so much sound advice, drawing from sources as wide ranging as Aristotle and Casablanca, Stanislavski and Chinatown, that it is impossible not to come away feeling immeasurably better equipped to write a screenplay and infinitely more inspired to write a brilliant one.–Jane Steinberg
