Solaris - one of the great SF films. It is character driven with little plot. My most favorite films are character driven as they require an incredible amount of talent and tend to be much more intelligently constructed than plot driven movies. However you should play to your strengths, do...

Fellini taught us how to make character driven films without any character development.

Does anyone else feel the Oscars is terribly overrated?

8 1/2 by Fellini.

I don't have permission - I was planning on doing the film guerrilla style. There is no dialogue so I can shoot it silently and add in any sounds after. Why do I want to keep logos out of the picture?

I'm an economics major so its safe to say this is well outside my comfort zone. Thanks, I'll look into the site.

Most of the shooting was going to take place in a supermarket. Any tips as to how I should go about shooting it?

Paris, France.

Way outside of my price range/way more than I need. I want something that is simple and allows me to learn the basics of filming.

Thanks for sharing. I'll have to check out Punch-Drunk Love to see how they filmed the supermarket. Given the subject, my initial feeling was to film the actor with a still and disciplined camera until he has the crisis. This way the way the movie is shot will parallel how he sees the world...

I'm not set on anything. I'm not spending money on a set, I don't even know where I'd get an audio recordist, I was going to do post production sound, probably don't need to spend money on props, and I don't have to feed anyone. If I wanted to go the rental route, where could I do that?

That's pretty funny - I quite like that. However the problem is I want to tell the story with visuals only, that means no dialogue and no text. Also I don't have the means to make that happen as it is just myself and one actor making the movie.

As soon as I buy the equipment, which could be a while because I'm having a hard time figuring out what exactly it is I need to obtain the look I want.

The film is for fun, not for school. I also want the entire short to be without dialogue because I want to tell a story without cheating.

I'm making my first short film this semester. One of the characters will have an existential crisis in a super market's cereal aisle. I have an idea as to how I would show this, but was wondering how others would show it.
