    watch My first ultra low.

    Hi sorry busy, busy - Wonder Woman was $3500 or so, the Beautiful Ones is a little more vague, but about $150K mas or menus. Thank you - I realize there are many wonderful films here that cost a lot less, I am not that talented, or rather, i can call in favors for a day or two, then my friends...

    watch My first ultra low.

    Thanks guys - I found my editorial system and the film is getting cut for real now, lol. The WW teaser has been an incredible experience, really a career booster. Pit.

    watch My first ultra low.

    $1 million liability and workman's compensation for the trailer, through a friends production company under their rider. I paid $100 per day for the liability and $50 a day for the workman's comp - ask around companies like this are not difficult to find. We had an incident on another show where...

    watch 70 second feature trailer.

    I lie it a lot, I love what happens at 52 with the pixelating - Really nicely edited, a confident touch, with a slightly higher grade of raw material this could be genius, as is it's very cool. I really like a lot of the shots, too. Well done!

    watch My first ultra low.

    Yes - it is not a trailer - just a promo reel, we're still editing. It was actually put together for the DP's reel, lol.

    watch My first ultra low.

    Hi there I joined about three months ago, at the time, I was looking to do my first ultra low budget movie. I raised a couple of dollars independently and made my little passion project, a sort of dark take on Romeo and Juliet set in LA - Firstly I did a camera test with the little Sony...

    Prop Money

    These look great - please PM when you are done, it is really hard to get good looking stacks of bills. I have tried everything - it takes you out of the film so quickly to see fake currency. I have had most luck with thin paper stacks and then a real bill on the top of each stack, this only...

    Hello from CA.

    Somewhat Rhetorical, Rik, But a genuine interest in learning, too. I hope I am not coming across arrogantly, certainly not wanting to. I am on a learning curve here, and not the slightest bit ashamed of my ignorance - I am doing everything possible to consume info. I just made a teaser which...

    Hello from CA.

    CTBehrens, My films have been genre specific, action mainly because of my work in stunts. They have had to conform to a pretty strict general format. Cast (names that are desirable to international or specific buyers), Script/content, shooting location, delivery standards. My passion project...

    Hello from CA.

    Directorik, et al, I understand that, of course, but there are things that can be done with no money you couldn't do on a mid-range budget, it is those aspects I want to utilize. I am not looking to make a miniature version of a big movie - that doesn't work for me. *read that as; the...

    Can fight choreography be copyrighted?

    If it's taking a few cool techniques from a movie fight scene you loved - Go for it - the top fight choreographers do it all the time - When a choreographer pitches a fight scene he'll often shoot previes with stunt guys or fight guys, and use angles he likes to show the director what he has...

    Hello from CA.

    You would think - but I have been back to my original backers and asked for them to back personal projects and they get excited about the low figure - but I lose interest when it becomes obvious, they want to pay $250K for what they would usually have to pay $3 mill for. Black and white goes...

    Directors, what's the worst thing that's ever happened on set?

    Last shot or an extraordinarily difficult week, of a back breaking shoot, Bangkok, Thailand, a very long and politically stess-full shoot. I was sicker than I could remember ever have been, food poisoning and whatever else had infected my gut, I wasn't sleeping, I may have been hallucinating...

    Looking for a CG 3d artist.

    Looking for a CG artist to composite/create a photo-real WW2 fighter plane - appears in five shots, TRT less than 10 seconds. (The plane does not have to match anything already shot, stand alone scene) Looking for a flying sequence in the style/vein of the short film "The German." This is for a...

    Hello from CA.

    Ha - yes - probably not a very revealing use of grammar on my part. I made some films that I would deem low budget - non-union, that went to Sci-fi, Spike, etc., Then I made some films with a union crew, but very short schedules. Those one's were still low budget compared to a studio...

    Hello from CA.

    Hi there, Looks like an interesting forum - I have made a few mid-range movies, but am shifting format to a budget level that I believe I can have more creative control over - read that as going way lower budget, lol. I am entering a realm that I am unfamiliar with, and eating up all the...
