What do you need from a producer?

How did we jump from $25,000 to $2,000 so quickly? How much time do you expect to commit to this script? What is your time worth? Is this an original story or an adaptation? I am not judging the difficulty one way or the other, but this could impact what you are comfortable with. In your...

No judgements can be made.... Nothing grabbed my attention in the first 2 minutes. Knowing another 12 were looming, I started rewatching Wainy Days.

Your friends that are musicians. Cold calling and paying market rate. College students?

It doesn't sound good, you made an indiegogo only your friends and family will donate to, and I just farted.

No standard. You asked about commissioning custom themes in your question, but then asked if they license existing music. To that end, the answer is no, you do not license existing music to create a custom theme song. Plenty of shows do license music. They have music producers that reach out...

Notebooks- for writing, drawing lay outs, figuring out scenes Celtx- still my favorite preproduction tool that takes my childish handwriting and makes it legible 1x Hackintosh with Autodesk Smoke, Nuke Studio, Resolve and Syntheyes because a lot of my work is VFX-centric these days. A...

We filmed one recently and the more people that watched, the better it became. It got really sexy.

This is not efficient filmmaking. You show the same thing, for about the same duration (with graphics that are not title safe- let alone really fitting the frame) and then sum it all up. It was unimaginative and the music genuinely made it more boring to watch. I also am not sure what is going...

The idea doesn't bother me, but the talent sure did. Everyone was making that smirking "Im so funny" face. You see it in a lot of web comedy stuff and it is a personal irk of mine. On the positive side the music was very well produced. Ultimately do you find this funny? Who are you trying to...

The song is trash and I don't think that did you any favors, but I couldn't help but think "not this again" after several titles that were spoken in the intro and just unnecessary. Every project is a learning experience, but I dont think you will have this front and center on your reel in 10...

Shoot the story you want to tell and if you need to break it up later, you can.

Anyone who works a professional that is largely only recognized when they fuck up will be grumpy. I hear lots of directors bitch and moan. I have also watched a DP say "we better get this within my 10 hours, or I am leaving."

You can exist in the New York City film scene quite cheaply. I moved to NY for a few reasons...and I have stayed here for many more... 1. I got a job here before I moved. 2. I totaled my car while "saving to move to LA" 3. As a cyclist, I enjoy riding my bicycle to work. 8 years later I have...

I recently did a bunch of fire scenes for a horror film (shocking...) they had a real enough budget that they got some fire in camera, but they made enough mistakes, that it took quite a bit of nudging on my end to fix. Ultimately, it looks- in line with the rest of the flick...

Hire Will to fix it in post!

Well, it does have something to do with green screens. Depending on the performance you may want it would be a tremendous pain in the ass to roto everything out. While they do use a considerable amount of stills and reprojected 2.5D elements, from what it sounds like this guy may be doing with...

Everyone works at their own pace. If it is affecting your work, mention it and explain how your work is suffering. Beyond that, you probably can't change much.

The answers are inside your own brain. In creativity.

There are a number of solutions that will act as a fake generator. I have one that is essentially a car battery with two DC inputs. It was less than $100, it is useful during hurricane season and has saved my behind on shoots running lights, charging a DIT station and also charging camera...
