What is the ballpark service fee for a seasoned line producer with feature experience to do a schedule and budget? Anyone have a ballpark for the cost and time frame for completion? Thanks so much!

sorry I meant 'shoot.'

Hi everyone, I was talking to a novice filmmaker (even more novice than myself) yesterday about directing for the edit and how important it is to at least sit in on an edit and get a general understanding of the art, in order to learn how to be a better director. It's such a sobering...

We're looking to rent 2 x Sennheiser EW 100 ENG G3 A lavaliers. I was wondering if anyone could recommend their favorite, least expensive rental house online or in Los Angeles? Thanks for any help.

Like I said, micros under $500,000 (as near as anyone can figure since it's so hard to ever really know). Thanks!

I'm writing an article and trying to put together a list of good, digital micro budget independent films under half a mil made in the past 5 years. I've got some of the usual suspects and I'd appreciate hearing films you guys think deserve a nod: "Another Earth" "Like Crazy" "Monsters"...

I'm trying to find a good screenplay reading service or script reader to give us coverage on our script. I've only really looked at Screenplay Readers. The reviews don't look so hot and although we know we need objective criticism from a professional, we are a little weary of emailing it over...

Right, plenty of talent is never realized for a myriad of reasons. Centuries of high infant mortality means the art of countless artists was never realized. You could make that case for anything, but that does not mean that art is innately elitist. Art is a fundamental form of human...

Hmm. I live in Los Angeles and have worked in this business a long time and maybe I'm just super lucky that all the indie filmmakers I know are quite productive and resourceful. Without exception. If you know any who are really good please let me know. I'm not kidding. I have not found this...

Fantastic analogy.

Whoooa down boy. What independent filmmakers want and what resources allow for are two very different things. I don't know any lazy independent filmmakers who are short on effort, or who hesitates to throw every last dime at their movie. I've also never met sound people who love their job so...

Ah. Great info. So any news on audio software advancements?

I mean the audio equivalent of this super high res shot (scroll in to any of the pin heads in the crowd for a perfectly clear close-up) http://gigapan.com/gigapans/033ef14483ee899496648c2b4b06233c?fullscreen_redirect=true Something that captures every audio detail in a way that allows you to...

With all the new technology that has made it possible for independent filmmakers to shoot great looking video, is there anything on the horizon that will make it easier to capture great location sound DIY style? I'm thinking something like a device that can recognize and capture each actor's...

Hi directorik, I've come to fully understand $250 is too low for this :). We're trying to raise a little more capital. Thank you. Very kind of you to offer.

I'm in LA and need an experienced AD or Line producer to do a schedule and budget for our screenplay. There's no funding for the film yet, this is very preliminary so I'll be paying out-of-pocket ($250). Anyone got someone they think is great and can recommend? Thanks

Thanks Dreadylocks, Are you saying yes to both questions? Quote: Originally Posted by Indiefilming View Post I had 2 questions about this. Can you do more than one campaign for the same projects at different phases of production? Like one campaign to raise X amount of money for principle...

Is it possible for an indie film to be accepted into Sundance as well as say Cannes or Toronto International Film Festival? A friend of mine says that once a film premiers at one of these big festivals the other big ones won't accept it. I argued that most films that are good enough to get...

Is this true if you have a star attached and the filmmaker isn't a complete unknown?

Thanks for all your help. Turns out certain areas in Silverlake are the bermuda triangle of audio. Which is why it's so important to bring your sound person out when scouting locations. I had to move.
