    I agree. I appreciate your input. I will have to reevaluate the situation and see if there are other options available.

    No more begging...

    In a normal situation I would say that is it has no bearing on them as professionals. It is my responsibility as a producer. In this case, however, these people lobbied for this kickstarter for the better part of two months before I finally agreed. This is not just MY production. We...

    No more begging...

    About a month ago several members of my cast and crew lobbied for me to create a kickstarter campaign to help with our first feature.

    I use a phantom powered audio technica mic with the Dr-40. The sound is exponentially better. It is almost night and way.

    Zach Braff's new film on Kickstarter

    As someone from the low end of the totem pole, I will tell you that the end is very near for the small time indie filmmaker on kickstarter. It was hard enough before the celebrities got involved. Now, you have a tag team of celebrities and over-saturation. DSLRs + Youtube= Everybody is a...

    Help me with Angels, Aliens, and Monsters

    Thank you. You made me look it up. Serial commas are used less frequently in Standard British. The second comma is also dropped in American newspapers to save space, as long is the meaning is easily understood. In this context I am stating there are 3 specific factions. Each is an...

    Am I the only one?

    No, you are not the only one. There are not that many of us making features. I am going to tackle a feature, but I am not there yet.

    Web series vs feature

    I agree on the execution aspect. The prep work and size/complexity can be comparable, and sometimes provide a more robust experience . The keyword part depends on the popularity of the word and the competition. If you can find a word/phrase that is very popular with low competition it is...

    Web series vs feature

    For me a web series is more frustrating than a feature. Others have covered the creative aspects of it, so I will cover the online marketing aspect. With a web series you have to optimize each episodes keywords for the youtube and google search engines. If you do not, you will probably not...
