Producing questions related to contracts, payments, etc. Hi everyone, Been a long time since I posted here (although I've occasionally popped in to read). I have a question about production companies when two or more are working together on a film. Basically, I formed my own company and was...

We usually wind up having to do it all anyway.

That's it! Thanks very much. I could've sworn I read about it here, but my memory's not what it used to be. I know where I got it now, appreciate the clues. Gonna Google her now...

Hmm, binders take up so much room, and they're so unsightly. My apt. is only 400 sq. ft., so the shelves need to be orderly. I was thinking of just filing away my binder's guts - I guess I could create a parent hanging file for my project and create folders for each section of the binder. I...

Wow, what crap.

Wasn't there a member here, a woman, who was producing a feature film and performing ALL the key positions herself? I remember reading posts about it when I first joined (or was that a different site? LOL, can't recall). All I remember is it was a period piece, the 1950's maybe, and about...

Okay, hmm... wow, no one misquoted you -- I was responding to YOUR posts. I guess I just don't really understand your writing style or what you're saying. So, I'm not sure what actually happened, but I wish you the best. Don't give up!

Omigosh, they are both so cute (and so serious)!

I was thinking more along the lines of looking at it again myself, as a reference for future projects. Also, I'm sure it would be prudent to hold on to all the insurance paperwork, releases, contracts, and paperwork like that.

Your actress splits three days before you shoot and that makes you shelve the project?? There were three whole days you had to re-cast. Couldn't you have asked any other actresses who auditioned for it? I hope you don't mind a little "tough love, " but the way I see it, when a problem like...

Yes, you already stated that earlier in the thread.

bumping this... No one files papers anymore? My Line producer gave me a big binder of stuff, plus I had my own files. What do you folks usually save after a film wraps... and after post is completed? I just want to start off with an efficient system for my productions, and moving forward...

I don't see any detriment in having a large or large-ish crew, as long as there's good synergy, it's organized well, and everyone knows what they're doing. A small crew is great too, but has less possibilities. Here's one of my favorite shorts a friend of mine made for 48HFP, with a pretty big...

I was on a team of 20 (including actors) in NYC a couple of years ago - believe me, everyone had something to do! It was great fun, and something I will do again, but only if I feel up for it - it can be brutal if your ideas are too ambitious. Everyone has to shlep stuff and no one gets any...

Just an organizational question here - what do you folks do with all the paperwork generated from a film? What's your filing system? Is there anything you don't keep after it's over? Please let me know - thanks!

I think the blurring of license plates is meant to protect the identity of the car owner/driver. Imagine you shoot something and a car goes by slowly enough to read the plates - some nut job sees your movie and says, "Hey that was the prom queen who dissed me in high school!" or "What a babe...

Hello all, My short film is happening this weekend (yay!) and I have friends shooting production stills for us. They're both great photographers, but not pros -- and neither has done this before. Thing is, I've never had a stills photog on a set before, and I know I don't need to keep them...

Thank you, Directorik! As usual, your answers are so helpful and make everything very clear. I know I will refer to your post again.

When you upload a PDF on Google Docs, UNCHECK "Convert documents, presentations, and spreadsheets to the corresponding Google Docs formats." so that it remains a PDF with its original formatting. When you want to share it with people, you can either give them a link, which means they can pass...

I didn't read this whole thread, but the question reminded me of a clip I saw recently, which I'll share, that has dialogue on the beach, including whispering (Betty White plays the mother of these two ladies with her). My immediate assumption was that the dialogue was ADR'd and added later...
