Hmm, yeah good point. But wouldn't CGI be equally expensive, if it had to be done so well that you wouldn't be able to differentiate between that and actually filming outside? Good point! That would be great. Then again there are so many talented composers out there willing to help, and if I...

Thanks for all your lovely comments and support, there is no place like indietalk when I need filmmaking advice! I am fully aware of this. Hence why I haven't been doing budget filmmaking until this point. The day rate is approximately 200 USD. No, that's why I am asking here for some...

Dear Indietalk After some years of no budget filmmaking, I've decided to make a proper, professional shortfilm with a budget. However having never done something with a professional crew, I've no clue how much the film is going to cost. I hope you can help me with some qualified guesses bearing...

I used a zhiyun 3-axis gimbal along with Premiere Pro's stabilizer. Thanks for watching.

I wasn't sure whether to post this in 'Narrative' or 'Other', but considering a film like "Koyaanisqatsi" is considered a narrative, I think this is a narrative too! As the title says I put this together from a recent 5-day trip to Shanghai, however I only had the opportunity to film for 4...

Hi, this is the song used in "Watchtover of Turkey": youtube.com/watch?v=_VONMkKkdf4 (go watch the "Watchtower of Turkey" video if you haven't, it's amazing) I'm making a similiar styled fastpaced video from my trip to Shanghai, and I was wondering if you guys knew any similiar fastpaced songs...

I'm going to direct the project, but I got a hold of the national filmmaking union's official document in regards to filmmaking roles pricing and rules. So I guess I got that sorted now, thanks tho!

Are there any books/videos that explain this further into depth? As in the basics of a crew? How do I go about with my money? Do I contact a producer and say "hey, I got this money and this idea.... wanna help make this film?" or do I contact every crew member myself? What about contracts etc?

I've saved up money to finance two short films of mine. The first one has a finished script, lead actor and executive producer attached to the project. The executive producer got a hold of one of the major financial supporters to upcoming filmmakers in my country (Denmark), however I want to...

Yeah I tried a few different tutorials on YT, all the same results. Even got a sound guy to reset my recorder's settings and redo them all to make sure that it wasnt the recorder. I'm pretty sure my zoom h4n provides phantom power, and yes I have the sennheiser ew 112 g3 package. Idk if the...

Seems like this debate has sparkled a bit since my last visit - great read! To elaborate on my situation: I'm scared of driving a car, hence I never got my license. But it's ok - in Denmark we have a lot of public transportation so I take bus and trains. It is quite a pain to travel a m5 and...

Uhm, I just looked a bit more into c-stands. Is it true they are tough to travel with? I don't have a car, and I'm already carrying a Movi M5 gimbal, camera-bag and a tripod bag. I basically just need something to be able to hold the mic over someone's head instead of having a boomer. Are you...

Hey, thanks for the replies. To clarify my needs I need a mic stand/c-stand (I'm not sure what to go for, sounds like c-stand is the right choice) for interviews that I produce as a 1-man team. I wont be able to use a boompole for that. I need a boompole for collaborative shortfilms. I've...

I'm looking for a mic stand and a boompole for my shotgun mic RØDE Ntg-4. Mostly needed for interviews, and boompole will be used for shortfilms too. I can't seem to find proper comparisons and recommendations so thought I would ask here. Thanks in advance. :D

Hi I am looking for a new tripod/fluid head combo for video on Sony A7s II, and I was wondering if you guys had any good recommendations? Thanks in advance.

Dear IndieTalk, I'm strongly considering buying a used Movi M5 gimbal due to economical reasons. I honestly prefer to buy most of my stuff used if I feel it's relatively safe to do so. I'm buying M5 + Flightcase + 2x battery + mounting accessorie for screen/recorder + 7" android tablet (for...

Hello fellow indie filmmakers I'm making a portait of a CEO, and in one of the important shots his face is unfortunately pretty overexposed. It was recorded in 4k and slog-3 so there's a bit room for grading, but having barely any experience with colorgrading (I know I shouldn't go for slog-3...

Thanks for the answers. I have a budget of $1500 to invest on my pc. Considering my current hardware, do you think it would be most profitable for me to buy hardware for $1500 and install that onto my current pc, or buy a new pc for $1800 (assuming I can sell my current one for about $300).

A few months ago I trashed my 5 year old PC. It was old and rusty and could barely edit full HD. Then a few months ago I bought a pc intended to continually edit full HD. It has these specs: CPU: Intel Core i7-4790S CPU @ 3.20GHz 3.20 GHz RAM: 8 GB GRAPHIC CARD: Intel HD Graphics 4600...

Great response since I last checked. Thanks. I'll definitely try some of your recommendations. :)
