I was thinking about this last night on my way home from work and wondered if anybody does this -
For those of us who live in smaller sized towns or just any kind of place that doesn't contain the kind of landscape/type of setting needed for a certain part in our films and we are on a low budget, would it be possible to have another film maker take some stock film for us to use in our films? For instance: say I live out in the country and need a "New York" type of shot?
Instead of flying me, my equipment and my crew to some place like that, it would be kind of cool to network with another indie living near a big city do that shot for you. What would be the problems/challenges with doing something like this? Does anyone do it already?
The reason I'm asking is because I need a shot of an office type setting with a bunch of cubicles with people working... there isn't a place like that here where I live. I would have to travel pretty far for a 4-5 second shot of that...
