Thanks all for the advice. I’ll put it to the team.

I’m hoping someone has had to tackle this one before. I’m about to hit production of my 3rd feature film and it looks like the film is going have its title changed. Essentially the director has never been too fond of the title, and we now have a title that all parties are happy with. The issue...

I’m teaching myself how to edit using online tutorials. Editing is one aspect of production that I have never had to handle myself, so it’s a good learning experience. I’m actually really enjoying it. I should’ve done this years ago.

I’d like to second this. If an actor wants to change a line so that it creates a more natural delivery, I encourage it, but you need to take notice of HOW it is being changed. On the last feature I did we had an actor who would constantly change his lines. The problem we had was not that he was...

When I was growing up I had a love of movies, but making movies was something that was just seen as a pipe dream. To have access to a camera you needed to be wealthier than my family was. It could never happen. Later on in life, while I was already inspired to make movies it was watching Clerks...

Thanks for the suggestion. It’s a room in the warehouse that is maybe 50ft by 50ft. I proposed setting up sound blankets and to drop carpet down for all shots where you cannot see the floor. All of this was proposed with a small budget in mind. Unfortunately it’s a bit of a case of not enough...

Thank you for such detailed info there. As usual, you are extremely helpful. Thanks again!

Hi all, I’ve recently stepped away from producing and have started to focus more on location sound recording. I won’t go into why I’ve made this change in this post, but am looking for some advice on a project I have coming up. We have a location for one scene that the director has their heart...

The Sony A6500 will be fine for shooting a short film. Don't use any presents, have the camera set to fully manual control.

Since I'm new here I thought I'd share the trailer for my previous indie feature, Blood Hunt, so y'all can see what I'm all about. I was one of the producers, and the project started by the director and myself sitting down to write a 12 page treatment. From there we made our first feature film...

I've been playing with Lightworks. It runs fine on my 2010 iMac and it hasn't felt too restrictive running the free version so if you don't have the budget to upgrade to a newer computer and pay for something like Final Cut or Adobe Premiere, maybe give that a try.

I'm an indie filmmaker from Australia based in Melbourne with a couple of indie features under my belt as a producer, one of which is still in the very late stages of post production. I'm hoping here I can share my experiences and learn from others. I'm particularly interested in broadening my...
