    Insurance

    How much are insurance policies for films shoots usually? If I rent my house I was wondering if they're insured for 1 million if that is enough if someone gets hurt.

    Submitting to Amazon Direct Video a complete waste of time?

    I agree with Rayandmigdalia. My movie got accepted no problem. The hard part was 1) figuring out how to create captions and then 2) creating a video file to their specifications. I got numerous rejections regarding codecs and wrappers before I finally was able to export a file that they...

    Varicam once $70K now less than 1K

    AJ-HDC27F Panasonic Varicams used to be $70,000 back in 2005. Now they're asking like $740 to $800 or best offer on Ebay. LOL! I've been out of the loop for a while. What is the go-to camera that people are using for indie movies these days?

    Am I getting a good deal?

    Is your lawyer an entertainment lawyer and is he knowledgeable about the trends as far as how much people pay for these types of animation films? How much experience does he have with animation films? I would pay to consult for an hour with a second lawyer solely to discuss what a "good deal"...

    Who owns rights

    In America at least, a movie is a joint work with creative input from lots of people such as writer, director, actors, set designers, director of photography, etc. You should always get EVERYONE (including crew) to sign release forms that address copyrights. There's more than one way to word a...

    Am I Wrong For This?

    She has nobody to blame but herself. And you're not the only person on the planet who can convert files. Any average Joe on CraigsList can do that with open source software.

    General Release / NDA / Copyright for discussions with crew or friends

    Loaning a piece of gear doesn't entitle someone to a copyright claim. At best they would be making a claim for what they should have earned in rental fees. Stay away from accepting creative input like script writing contributions. Always register your script with the Library of Congress. Save...

    Rent those wireless mics that tape to the inside of your shirt. Otherwise ADR.

    For 80K you can make something that looks like a low budget piece of crap. I doubt that the big studios are surfing InkTip for scripts.

    Best online script pitch sites?

    Yeah, InkTip seems like the best choice. $60 per script listing for 4 months. I'll give it a shot when I'm ready to post my script. I wonder what were the budgets on these success story films? https://www.inktip.com/main_films_produced.php I found this other site Specscout.com that wants $297...
