ASK & DISCUSS

Production or post-production?

And why is this?

A few aspects that come to my mind, may include:

Production
Not enough of the right crew
Lack of an experienced crew
Not enough …

It must be remembered and considered that even a film with good funding, a top cast and crew, will also face any number of unexpected challenges, in production and/or post-product…

It's an hour-long pilot episode but I would only send out a scene or two. If anyone is interested, I would love some feedback.

Thank-you in advance :)

In Shooting People, I see a lot of writer's pitches saying : budget < £100k or something. And who is supposed to fund this budget? Those writers or film maker?

I think that it's fair to say that the world and the 'market' in the current 2020's is so very different from that of the 1930's, 1940's, 1980's etc. of those films you mention.

Hi ShootingPeeps

I recently released 'Clive' online, bypassed all the festivals this time round and oddly it seemed to pick up some traction with Online platforms showcasing it …

There are many, many reasons why you may want or need to utilise VFX on your film. From corrective tasks, like removal of boom poles or cables for example, to adding specific requ…

I think the question has a faulty premise. The “next step” - whatever that may be - has nothing to do with the state of the script. Many films go into production before a single w…

Yes, John. Indeed. Very misleading to say, "...a truly 'no budget' feature..." and then say, "...with a mere £10k budget...".
