I have been working on my short story now for a ridiculously long time.
I finally have all the locations, a polished script and a set of storyboards.
Now I have a friend of a friend that has offered to help me with this in whatever way I need. He has a bunch of professional equipment and does music videos, short stories and is working on his first feature.
I had the thought tonight, what if I asked him to come up with his own storyboard for the film. Then we got together, compared and took the best of whatever I liked.
What sort of credit do I need to give him to maintain the integrity of my work. Definitely a producer if he is providing me with equipment. Regarding storyboards, if it's only one or two suggestions of his, maybe a special thanks. If I love all of his storyboards more than mine I would feel like he deserves co-director credit at that point.
A part of me wants complete control, just to say it's mine and to have it representative of what I'm capable of. Another part of me wants to set aside hubris, and take all input I can get to create the best possible film.
