    Indie film 'Layover' discusses budget, and earnings.

    yes and no...certainly the not knowing is not going to polish a turd, sooner or later the audience will realise they are experiencing crap on their screen....but...what I am saying is that we don't generally go looking for errors in a high budget Hollywood film, they do exist, but we are not...

    Magic Bullet crashing Vegas Pro 9

    I love Vegas pro. I use it on all video editing I do...but when I use magic bullet, I always use it in after effects...never Vegas, because Magic Bullet is really designed to run on adobe gear.

    Indie film 'Layover' discusses budget, and earnings.

    Fair points. If time and money of all involved are calculated, it is probable that most films cost over 5k. Yes I don't think the 'no budget' or 'micro budget' self titling is doing anyone any favours. I certainly wouldn't go to my audience and say "ladies and gentlemen I made this on the...

    Is this leveraging technique too bold and stupid to work?

    Get that in writing if you have not done so already. Ie get them to write that they are happy for you to do this. That way if anyone does ask, you can flick them a copy of the letter or email to prove it.

    Indie film 'Layover' discusses budget, and earnings.

    I would love to disagree with you there, but I personally know of no film to disprove you. I hope somebody else can show a good film made on a micro budget though because if it cannot be done that is bad news for me ;)

    Indie film 'Layover' discusses budget, and earnings.

    Firstly thanks for writing such a long post. I appreciate the effort there. I appreciate your points on layover being in French. I have noticed a real rise in French films lately as more and more French films come onto the internet. Some of them seem like they could be very good films, but...

    Finding an audience for a movie

    I do pride myself on being creative but I sadly admit that I had not considered Russian hackers... Yea getting them to watch the trailer is a battle in itself. The option to ditch the client is still open right?

    Finding an audience for a movie

    "he wants me to find the audience with email addresses that will like his movie." What I take from this is that some nut job wants a guaranteed audience for a film that is not out yet, along with the email addresses for each of them. I believe what the poster is suggesting is that they market...

    It is utterly IMMORAL to encourage new writers

    I am starting to believe he is a common garden variety troll. Perhaps an admin could read over his posts and make a decision.

    Indie film 'Layover' discusses budget, and earnings.

    I assumed that also, mostly because I could not be bothered, but it seems that some people can be bothered, and do so for a film that catches their attention.

    Is this leveraging technique too bold and stupid to work?

    For me it's a no. For one I still know nothing about the film so all I can see is that these two people are going to be raising money for a film. The word exciting is used...what is exciting? You have not told me what I am to be excited about, just that it is exciting. I understand that but it...

    i'm not sure where to post this but i have some questions.

    cannot see your pictures...but my first thought is that water moves...replace water with something more stable.

    Indie film 'Layover' discusses budget, and earnings.

    No it's not flippant. I totally get your point there and you are right. I like your points about how trying to compete with a film designed to be commercial is not easy if for instance my film is not designed to be commercial. For me though, while I hope my films will be successful, I do not...

    Indie film 'Layover' discusses budget, and earnings.

    Pricing...yea I know mate, and as it stands a variable price doesn't exist so we have to work with what is there. I don't have the answer. Running into trouble...My thought is that the value of purchasing/renting the high deff is two fold. Firstly with any other movie there is the cinema...

    Indie film 'Layover' discusses budget, and earnings.

    Cool. One thing that has caught my attention is the likes of 'V sauce' on youtube. It's one of my favourite youtube channels as they entertain and educate all in one. The reason I bring them up though is that there are 3 of them, all running their own channels under the same V sauce brand, and...

    Finding an audience for a movie

    That is one tough cookie to solve. I think realistically, your idea is the only feasible one and even that will take a long time with no guarantee of getting that many emails. People just don't like giving out their emails all over the show these days because of spam and scams. You are being...

    Indie film 'Layover' discusses budget, and earnings.

    I like this idea. As I mentioned in my reply above to Sweetie though, I think I would take your model and add to it by putting a lower definition version on youtube for free...perhaps a month or something after I release it on the various platforms at cost. Out of interest, do you rely on the...

    Indie film 'Layover' discusses budget, and earnings.

    Yes it makes complete sense. One film is not like another. Each is individual with its own incentive to purchase and that is very subjective to each individual considering the purchase and what they want. Completely understand. This is kind of where Hollywood has the advantage. They have a set...
