I am going to be filming a project that I had to cancel three years ago due to funding issues. I auditioned an actor three years ago from craigslist who had very good acting for the part. I contacted him again last week, and he told me he's a union actor now and can't work with non-union. I...

If you have success making a film series, or any kind of online series, etc, and you have a main actor, should he receive royalties other than his pay for the filming? Or should director/creator keep 100% of any earnings made from the work and continue to pay the actor an agreed amount?

I'm filming a video in a park parking lot, and there's a busy street about 30-50 feet away from where we're filming. There's also loud trucks passing by at times. Our back's would mostly be facing the traffic, so what would be the best microphone to use in this situation? A shotgun mic...

I want to get a "simple" shot of my actor floating down as if he's just landing from a parachute jump. I would have a "glider" attached to the crane and my actor would be holding onto the handle bars. I will probably need a crane to do this, so I was thinking of paying someone to use their crane...

i havent filmed anything in a long time and this is the last thing i storyboarded, should I keep it going or nah: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2GVyE6h1Dw

I was wondering if there was a major difference between down scaling 4K green screen footage to 1080 vs zooming and manually changing shots from wide to medium with a camera lens. I'm going to be filming a video where all of the environment will be cartoon and made in adobe illustrator. My plan...

hello, long time no post. I have a philosophy that I talk about with my brother and that's people have to be desperate for content. So just as long as youre not retarded and put good effort into something, you should be able to create something people would watch right? We have literally...

I purchased an item (prop rocket launcher) on July 15th for $230 and I told him right there I was going to need it by August 29th. That's like 1.5 months notice. 3 weeks later he tells me he shipped it and gave a tracking number, he said that it was sent to the post office. To me he seemed...

24 hours ago the forecast said sunny with 10% chance of rain. now it says its going to be full-on raining with 90% chance of rain. my film shoot is next saturday august 29. the video im shooting has family "contestants" in it so they can decide to not show up if they dont want to. i doubt they...

What's the best way to measure a straight shot? Do you know of any technical way of doing this? Basically filming parallel to an object (or someone facing the camera in a wide shot). Thank you.

I need to rent a truck for my film shoot and the original plan was to throw a banner over the whole side of the truck with the name of the show to pretend like its the shows truck because in the film shoot the host is acting like its his truck. I asked the guy if it would be ok and he said he...

Jesus christ im falling to pieces. If I have a 1 day film shoot is it expected I pay them at the end of that day? Or is it no big deal to pay them next week? Or maybe half now, half later?

I owe $4000 right now. They want me to pay $220 by August 21st or theyre sending it to the collection agency. My film shoot is on August 29th. I aint got a dime to lose, any words of wisdom?

I paid someone $300 to make a decent logo for my web series. Do I need to ask them to transfer the rights? Whats the easiest way to do this?

Right now I have $5000 saved up (hanging by a thread) and I can't tell if my idea is garbage or not. I can't laugh or find it interesting anymore because I'm sick of it now. It's like eating the same food everyday for 2 months. The hardest part is getting it replicated to how I envisioned it...

I keep having to give a company name when it comes to film making (permits, invoices etc) and this is just mostly me and my brother trying to make films/videos. We don't have an official name (no point in having one right now) so I'm just giving a random name "pinecone studios" I'm about to pay...

I have a film shoot scheduled for August 29th which is a Saturday (I need it to be on a weekend). It's going to end up costing around $8000 to rent gear and pay location/few actors/order props. I checked on a weather website some say there's a 40% chance of rain on that day which is absurd. If...

I made a mistake. Last year I was filming a pilot for a kids series and found a voice actor who did a great job (I was looking on craigslist and he blew everyone out of the water). I failed that film shoot and decided to move onto a smaller new project this year hoping it will give me the...

I'll admit right off the bat, lighting is garbage, camera work could have been better. What do you think of it as a whole piece (writing, etc)? Is it a little entertaining? It was made for this facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/GetOnMyLvlGaming
