Hi there. I just want to introduce myself, after lurking for a year and finally getting round to contributing.
I am living and making films in Laramie, Wyoming, but am originally from Leicester, England. I moved permanently to the US in 2010. I lived in Virginia for a year and am now set up in Wyoming and loving it.
I shot my first feature this year with a bunch of volunteers who had never made a film before. 68 people were involved from the smallest contribution to the biggest (that would be me!). We shot for 10 weekends, over a twelve week period.
I am currently editing. 19 minutes of the film needs audio completely re-doing and I am about to do ADR for the first time. Luckily for me, I have a friend in the business who is an audio engineer/ADR guy and has worked on a number of films and tv shows.
I still have a lot to do, but hope to have something to show by the end of the year.
For a first feature, that cost almost no money, with a crew of complete amateurs, I think it's going to turn out pretty good and I am excited to have people see it. Watch this space...
I have a very low-budget set-up. Two Panasonic HC-X900M camcorders, two Rode shotgun microphones, a Rode NTG-2 microphone, Rode Blimp, Rode boom-pole, Tascam DR-100 MK2, two nasty tripods, a couple of LED lighting panels and of course, some chicken heat lamps with bulbs in.
The wife has completely cut me off from spending any more money on equipment, but I figure that if I cant make a decent film with the equipment I have, then I don't deserve new stuff anyway.
I really like this forum. I have learned a lot from it. So thank you!
I play soccer three times per week, like first person shooters on my PC, drive a 1996 Yukon. My favorite bands/singers are: Rush, Marillion, Fish, The Icicle Works, Ian McNabb. Um, er, I have three cats, I have a steel-tip darts night every other Wednesday during the warmer months in my garage, and a Dungeons & Dragons night every other Wednesday in my house during the winter months. I also have a vinyl records night every couple of months in my sunroom.
