    How to commercialise this?

    Hi it was interesting. You have already filmed every thing? if yes. The problem is if you bring new sponsors you have to make sure that there is not competitors brands like in the helmet there was monster logo so if you try to get example red bull to sponsor its hard afterwards.

    What do you dislike most about the modern film industry?

    I hate when company's ask people to work free and some professionals do it when they hope to get open the doors and same time shoot own leg. Now days every thing have to make it so cheap that media people are like slaves. I just watched this video and it was funny(I don't have been involved on...

    Need help with ideas on funding

    Don't take Actor/producer it is bad combination because he/she can't do her job when he is acting. When group is on the location producer is doing other works at the office or bringing food or etc. So it don't work so well. Often actors are very artistic people so they don't fit so well on...

    Need help with ideas on funding

    I think there is different type of risk in film industry too. Like if the movie is made in English language, with known producer, director and actors. There is chance that production company take a hit, but they can pay for investors money back if the movie profits are not disaster. In long term...

    Need help with ideas on funding

    It was only example, but my point was that if you don't put you self money on it. Its hard to expect that some one else put money on your project and if you put it shows that you are willing to take risk too. But it is my opinion and I don't know so well about american culture. Of course when...

    Need help with ideas on funding

    I think you should go to bank to ask loan or do you have some base cash. Because the investors take risk and they want profits for risk. If you don't have any base cash the risk is bigger for investors and I would not trust first timer who don't put any of own money on it. I don't know is there...

    cinematography IMPORTANT: green screen setup

    That can be okey. It depends how wide is your green screen. Because you have now 2 lights on the sides. Best result you get if you can get the light like 1m between each other on the midle of the screen and up shooting little bit down. So most of the spill light goes to down. It helps you if the...

    Filmmaking is too damn expensive

    I think there is big different between movies where every one gets payed salary and with indie movies where people work free. You can always make movie with 10 000 and force all people who you know to work free and give some favors to professionals to come make film. Like if you have company and...

    So I want to make a film about Simo Häyhä.

    Don't do it man. Finnish people have seen too many winter war movies. Most of them are bad. You have to chance the story and people so much that you can make it international and :D then it can end up like Mannerheim with Kenyan people acting Finnish.
