You can do it Cracker! I'm trying to put together funding for my new project, also around $20k. It can definitely be done, but I expect getting it out in front of viewers will be a challenge. My intention is to try to fill a niche that's currently not really being served at all. It's an uphill...

This is not really true, especially if you're going to be adding a DoF adapter and an anamorphic adapter. They both cut the amount of light making it to the film.

This is the problem with editing projects you've shot/directed. If you want your projects to shine, you absolutely have to be willing to cut anything and everything. Yes, these shots are your babies, of course you think your babies are beautiful. It doesn't matter, you have to be willing to cut...

Out of curiosity, where did you here that? It seems plausible, but I was hoping to be able to pick one up by September for an upcoming project...

You can get away with two people, but three will definitely make the process smoother.

I completely agree with everything Directorik said. The numbers don't add up for the filmmakers. You're only charging $4 a month for access; unless a title is a huge breakaway hit there's no way a filmmaker is going to recoup the cost of even the smallest microbudget feature. As for all the...

Here's a quick and dirty version I did in Aperture...

Wasn't this an episode of This American Life? Very cool nonetheless.

It would depend. For a micro-budget narrative film, you shouldn't expect to pay a lot more. Since your username includes XXX, I'm assuming your making a porno. In this case, you should expect to pay a lot more.

That is entirely false.

Countering Gonzo, I'd go with something wider. The Tokina 11-16mm would be a good choice...
