Lets be honest using an HD camera should let you shoot faster...you don't have to load film, simply pop in another tape. I'm getting a hard time from a DOP...says minimum 20 days shoot, but I think it will take half that amount of time also there are: no crane shots, no special effects, a few dolly shots here and there. I think you can do it in ten days. What do you think?
Feature shoot in 10 days?

- Start date
The key to doing anything quickly is extensive planning, or in filmmaking parlance, preproduction.
Every last detail has to planned in advance - costumes, hair/makeup, props, and a thousand other things. Another very important detail is thoroughly scouting out your locations. Will there be a lot of extraneous foot traffic? Is there an airport or a highway nearby that will interfere with sound? What about weather problems?

It can be done, but you have to keep your ratio low and move very very efficiently. Pre-production is always your friend, but in a 10 day feature shoot, it's your ONLY friend. Every other variable is your enemy.
