    So what the hell are the breakdowns of low budget???

    I've always considered films under $100,000 to be ultra low budget pictures. We all here understand that you can make a quality film under that budget with the technology available to us, but that it will undeniably be an indie production. Now, a $20,000 film to me is considered on the...

    Standards for Nudity Pricing?

    I know my name will give some of you a crude vibe but believe me when I tell you I am simply curious on the subject. This is not something I'm looking at in the near future. I know of a few people who have had artistic nudity done in their films for next to nothing in cost, but this astounds...

    $100 vs. $150?

    I'm getting some actors with a name, which as bad as it sounds, have now earned the right to good pay. What I'm unsure of is the contract types. Should I pay $100 for a 4 hour slot or $150 for a 5 hour slot? Obviously one is $25/hr and the other is $30/hr but I also feel the 5 hour slot with...

    Adobe Premier now crashing.

    So I used Sony Ex 3 to shoot a film and I have Premier CS5. Everything was fine but now roughly two minutes into a trailer, adobe is creasing and I can't finish editing and it won't export in any format. I have 8 gigs of Ram and a good video card. Any ideas why it's glitching? Is it the HD?

    If you had all the money back from one expense, you could fund a...

    If I had all the money I spent on strippers and alcohol back I'd be able to fund a feature easily. Those total expenses were over 100k easily!

I show the promo trailer we got done. I breakdown what and how we're going to use the money if given. I...

    TheMusicase.com (questions)

    So I found musicase and thought " wow, some of these are great ". Then I read their licensing: Licensing Even for Platinum Licensing, it states "Film-Documentaries". So........I'm guessing the site is worthless for indy film-makers NOT making documentaries?

    $100 for a day's work?

    Okay, so my film's budget is ever progressing. I intend to get a kickstarter ad done soon and always saving up with every payroll I receive. One of the issues with my film is specific cast. For some scenes, I need to have specific females in terms of physicality. For instance, not just an...

    Music Budget?

    Figuring out the budget before-hand, I considered that at least 50% should be devoted to the sound since that is a big part of the story. The budget I have planned out right now is in the range of $1,000 however all the funding is not yet secured although a loan could be taken if direct payment...

    Using a cover in a film?

    So I have a few bands that have responded to me about being able to cover most songs (it'll be simple ones anywho) and I've come to some findings but I need some clarification. I found out that unless you're actively distributing the cover for profit, you don't owe royalties. Now I also found...

    Fair Price Ranges for Physical Intimacy Scenes?

    This isn't a necessity off the bat, but some scenes I may shoot require some intimacy. I've already looked into some possible actresses and the auditioning aspect but I want to be fair with my prices. The scenes with female actresses are short and will probably only take a few hours to shoot...

    Finding it impossible to find certain bands representation?

    I'm find it very difficult to track down the representing labels of certain albums/bands. These bands and albums are largely obscure or our of print. They are not found on amazon but are found on youtube. In certain situations, should I just take a stab in the dark? Most of these bands are...

    On Brands and References?

    In pre-production, I've got some question on legal references in my film: 1. Can I show video game consoles and controllers in a scene? 2. Can I show the game on screen while playing? 3. Can I show posters in the backround that are of films or albums? 4. Can I reference brands and music if it's...
