I see you joined this forum just to post your crowdfunding campaign for your Batman fan-film. Bad show, old chap! I suggest that this will not be as effective a tactic as you hope. This is the wrong forum for this sort of thing. We are not your audience; we are your colleagues, and in some cases...

I don't want to kill your dream, but I see that your campaign is not succeeding. Four days since launch, and not a single donation; that is a very unpromising beginning, especially as I see you've been posting the same message as above far and wide. As Ted Hope famously said, "'Crowdfunding' is...

If you want a good, free, easy-to-learn tool to help with storyboards, you could do worse than to try Storyboarder (www.wonderunit.com/storyboarder). If you can't draw stick figures, it can even generate storyboards from text prompts. What do you mean when you say you want help with scripts? Do...

The only way to check the quality for theatrical projection is to screen it in a theatre. Many post houses will invite you to their facilities for this. You might try approaching theatres in your area (especially independent, university, etc.) about using their facilities. This is one of the...

Okay, thanks, Directorik. I'd read some of his posts, but didn't fully appreciate what I was dealing with. I'll add him to my "Ignore" list with Drongo Bum, Spike, Nate North, Dean Jay, et al.

I suggest that the biggest handicap to getting your movies seen is the movies themselves. They look like camera tests to me -- the kind of stuff we would put together for practice, when we didn't have anything to shoot. You might claim that they are "pure cinema" or "art movies" or something...

So you've picked a setting for your movie that could offer many possibilities. Have you any theme, plot, characters, etc. in mind, or is that up to the Writer? I can envision different takes: action, satire, neo-noir, comedy; heck, in too many places in the world it could be a documentary. Are...

I would say, "No." In fact, I would go further and admit that I am at a loss as to why you would think it would be. Do you know what a screenplay is? If the above quotation is your screenplay, I would be most interested to see your shot list. I don't want to kill your dream and I'm not trying...

This isn't the best news I've heard all month: https://www.thewrap.com/entertainment-industry-jobs-fall-employment-us-labor-growth-september-report.

I've seen eleventy-squillion ventures exactly like this, and none of them have succeeded. Why will you be different? What's your USP?

Canadian here. Gotta disagree with Indietalk and Directorik. The latter's suggestion that "that response is a bit of a dodge" reflects an ignorance of the Canadian movie-funding environment. Without government funding, the Canadian market is too small (and too dominated by "domestic" USAnian...

I glanced at your survey questions, and I suggest that you have made a fundamental philosophical error. Sound stages are not aesthetic spaces at all, and should be designed purely functionally. Ideally they should be black boxes, so as to minimize reflections. Things that would make them more...

One thing to be aware of: renting the space doesn't include the rights to use artwork on the walls in your movie; for that you need permission from the copyright holder. Often it's easier to take 'em down and hang yer own works.

One thing I notice, AP: you say you want to work with public-domain material, but most of the material you cite is not in the public domain. Are you writing these things just for your own entertainment? Nothing wrong with that, of course.

I saw this article just yesterday: https://www.nikon.com/company/news/2024/0307_01.html. Apparently camera manufacturer RED (stupid all-caps!) will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nikon. This will likely unsettle both the marketplace and the technology for a while, as Nikon integrates RED...

I think that CelticRambler has posted the best answer so far. You ask us to "please view this from the autism spectrum". I suggest that you are exhibiting a typical Aspie trait: fixating on details that are important to you but not relevant to others. (You also spend a lot of your post pointing...

A couple'a drive-by thoughts, off the top of my head (which may have larger points for anyone considering a crowdfunding campaign): It is usually not as effective as creators hope to post crowdfunding campaigns in movie-making forums. We are not your audience; we are your colleagues, and in...

You might check out Gumroad or Reelhouse. (When you calculate your price, don't forget the per-transaction fee!) Promotion, as always, is up to you.
