Richard, have you considered setting up a room yourself? Get some monitors, some office chairs, some headsets with mics - you'll need at least two, preferably three. Shoot up clos…

I have wrote a script which involves some fantastic actors. But the technical aspects are missing. i.e. film maker, sound, lighting etc.

I can offer my directing skills and maybe editing and vfx if necessary, I'm based in Lambeth near Kennington and Vauxhall station. :)

Hi guys,

I've just reactivated my profile & can't seem to change my Roles - I've changed it in account details but for some reason it won't change on my profile.

From what I understand, IMDb don't let you change the poster. If you want to alter it, as it says on the site when you upload the poster, you will need to pay the fee again.

Hi there,

I've noticed a bunch of jobs listed as 'paid' recently only to see that on reading the 'fine print' they're actually deferred - since most deferred payments never amount to anythi…

It depends on the production.

It frequently means little or no pay until the film makes a profit - and most films never even find distribution, much less make a profit.

If it's …

Depending on the effect you want, probably want either a stadium hazer or gas powered smoke gun. The hazer is electric and runs continuously ideal if not too much wind. Smoke gu…

Hi guys,

I've recently started freelancing so I am still learning a lot but I've been tasked with DP'ing a four man team for a pretty big music festival for a client in July. It'…

The ideal set up would be technically demanding and therefore not cheap. Low budget alternatives however can be sufficient enough to provide that commensurate experience.

Editor, Marlom. Don't forget a great editor.

I have used PR people a number of times and often felt the results did not reflect the fee we paid. I am about to go again but I wonder what others think, whether even a DIY appr…

It would be helpful to elaborate on why you felt the results didn't reflect the fee. Did you have an agreement with them spelling out in plain English what was required? Did they …

Hello Shooters,

Any advice on the ideal or minimum crew necessary for a short documentary (i.e. 20 mins) focusing on one main subject (an older, established artist), similar to a…

It'll depend on how much access you have, I guess. Will the subject require all day, every day for a week or will it be a half day each week for 2 months? The story you're telli…
