And that's okay, because I'm not going to do any ADR. I have my doubts about foley because I haven't researched it and I don't know what kind of volunteer sound team I might be able to get. If I can't get a good experienced team willing to do this for free, then I'm limited by what I can learn...

And I think these will be my limits on professional sound production and the beginning of signs of an amateur production and budget restrictions . If I could, I'd ADR the heck out of this film, do foley, the whole deal. Buut, that's probably a bit too much unless I happen to get together an...

Done! I'll get that budgeted. :) Ah, cool. Hadn't considered variations in intensity of sound due to movement, proximity etc. The remaining ambient noise, in the room I prefer, is some very slight traffic noise that will be much less on the weekend. I could establish it by doing some shots...

Right now I need all of the input so I can balance it out and find the best compromises. :) Thanks for all the information and tips, APE! So it might be a good idea if I book each space for the smallest blocks possible, on the weekend and check all of these things with the sound equipment I'm...

Could I PM you to give you more detail on what I'm trying to achieve? I'm a trifle paranoid about giving everything away before the film is even made. XD Multiple power points in each space and the building is regularly used for performances, classes, filming, productions and exhibitions, so...

This is the second space in the same building. It's more expensive though still under $200 and much bigger at 154 m2. These are my pictures and it was overcast on the day so apologies for the quality. This space is still pretty cool, but it's much darker. The view outside the windows...

Thanks! This is the one I really want, it's not the hugest space, but still 68 m2. I've visited it twice and each time, I've liked it more. It's a pretty bright room, has a fairly benign view out the 3 windows down the side. So far the only concern I have is the size because I want to try...

Hey everybody, if I post some picture of a couple of filming locations, can I get some feedback? I've got my heart set on one, it's less that $200 a day to hire and think it suits the mood. :)

Make me. Oh, wait... ;)

My prior comments? On this thread or others? I'm confused. XD Filming the entire short film on my phone would be so nice and easy. It's good to practice on but, my phone is a geriatric, ailing 16 gig iPhone 4s and I'm not getting any closer to a Red Back spider than I absolutely must. Yay for...

Just on the topic of prioritising sound over visuals, I'm a pretty visual person but don't appreciate it when movies have pretty quiet dialogue and very loud sound effects. Totally get that there needs to be compromises, but I'd still like more balance in audio sometimes.

And why buy when you can hire or make your own gear? I'm saving a bundle and speeding up my schedule by using tutorials and hiring the really pricey stuff.

Are there many? My film basically goes along this sort of process: Part 1 - Two people meet, obvious angst and mutual antipathy is expressed as they establish why they're meeting. Tiny things happen in frame that only the eagle eyed will notice and clue them into the fact that something isn't...

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think there are plenty of women out there who are and want to be part of film production and direction. And maybe they're not on here because they're tied up in lots of other intricacies. :) But then there is an argument that there are pelnty of women trying to succeed in...

Happy to say I got out a long time ago after the 1500th customer yelled at me for their 5 minute wait in the queue and how they had THINGS to do. And good luck to your mate, that would be sheer hell. Will definitely consider it once the film is watchable, though right now it's very much a...

Not a cohesive one. It's more a collection of must have lines so far. Challenge accepted! I worked three years in banking, lived through the great Campbell Newman 'Government Staff Member Purge' of 2012 and still remained polite. :D I really want to! And am going to do my darndest to make it...

Oh thank goodness. I only wanted to film in one weekend initially, but was told I was making a newbie mistake and to take as long as affordable. I'll budget for 2 weekends, plus a day for me (and whoever wants to come) to go in there and plan shots directly in the space. That... seems...

Thank you, everyone. Your input has been invaluable and I've decided to push forward with some changes to what I'd planned. I was always intending to be completely transparent about my level of experience or lack thereof. However, I'll stop saying/believing that my film will be bad because of...

I'm also from Brisbane. :)

Hey guys, I'd like perspective on this please, 'cause this fight was intense and it's making me doubt what I'm doing. Sorry, but it's really, really long. I've been developing my short film since last August and recently wondered if I'm taking advantage of student and volunteer actors if I...
