does your porn have story? If so, why not

[SemperParatus]

I dream of making music for films (srs)

I've been really thinking about trying to make short films myself lately, as well. I'm actually saving for a Canon 7D so I can do it. I love photography so I figured why not try this...

[Ratfacedkilla]

I once had this dream but it was gradually crushed.

Have you studied music or play music now?

Also, have you heard of Shooting People? https://shootingpeople.org

Also, instead of 7D, save few more and get the 5D. It's really out there, TV productions are now switching to it because of its night/low light performance.

your going to have to become a producer as well if you want your story to be even close to the same as you submitted it, they have most of the creative power
I just wanted to be an writer/director but then I found out what producers do, i'll try at most to be a co-producer

Nice.

Could you share any financial details on the ad? i.e. What's the estimate cost of this ad?

[_AdaM_]

Also, this is a blog every independent film maker should read. Its a film maker who documents every detail from pre-production to post-production. From contracting the actors, to putting together the film crew and all bits of useful stuff.

Fair call, writing is what I'm really passionate about but producer/assistant director is where all the creative control lies. But in the early stages of your career you have to take what you can get I guess.

I already have about 7 stories thought up on one partially written(need to get on that) and out of those most of them inter connect to make two trilogy, It would've been 9 but i figured all my screenplays i write can't be massive so i churned it down to one. I plan on writing a few scripts i don't care about having creative control, to make some quick money and make a name for my self. also if you get lucky you can average 200k per script(100k with taxes)
this site helped alot

Yeah sure. Well its a 4 day prep and 3 day shoot. Director and DOP are brought in from australia and france. rest of the crew is local.

So far the budget is 100K USD. but this amount can and probably go up.

Cool, ***** is beautiful place to film. Would you know the legal side of your gig? I.e. Permission to film the ad (I suppose you are also filming outdoors).

[TheEnlightenedOne]

I made a film of "Where the Red Fern Grows" in 8th grade. That count?

[MitchTheBoss]

Oh SNAP, in for film makers crew


I've yet to shoot my own short film but i'm just reading and reading right now so I actually know something before I go out and make something that's complete garbage.

I also have access to some sd camocorders, old lighting equipment, a green screen, and other things but they're at my cities tv station and I'm waiting to get my own camera(T2i T2i T2i) because anything I shoot using their equipment I also have to let them use on the citys tv station :/

cool thread brah


I read half of "film directing fundementals by nicholas proferes" but than I lost it Right now I'm reading "if it's purple someones gonna die"

[TBEagl]

if your only going to try and make only two indie movies is it stupid to invest in a RED camera

[MitchTheBoss]

do you mean buy? it depends brah, me personally I dont plan on using a red camera for a long long time because that's just way too much money to spend on it.

remember, story is king. you can use a $300 camera to shoot your film, and if its a great story and you have the skill you'll get much further just off that cheap short film than someone who buys a $50,000 camera thinking that's all they need to make an amazing movie

[darklifter]

In brahs

got some scripts i wrote that i can scan for the misc. interested??

I know but by the time I buy it i'll have enough, now and days you'll need a hd camera which would cost around 8k-10k but people still complain about them, and say red is one of the best

I am, also make sure you copyright it so nobody jacks it
i'll upload some scripts i dream to make, which mean they won't be my first scripts i will sale since i would want to over see most of it.
also evernote on my phone is the best thing ever
