www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rsMI-QDY5UWhat You Need! What do I need? Part 1 Idea's Money What next? Part 2 Write script Read, watch dvd's extras about making films, learn. What min do I need? Part 3 Buy or borrow camcorder. Camcorder So it can be broadcast if it gets to TV or where ever, you need a 3CCD camcorder. You can also go for 16mm or 35mm but film costs loads and you need experience. Also Hi-Def is a good option. If you can afford it by gels, extension cable and lights. What do I do now? Part 4 Shoot, shoot, shoot and shoot then re-shoot. Download to pc and edit, edit and edit. (more)

for me its a compination. Inspires me` 1. Watching crap films (especially the ones that cost millions) thinking I can do better 2. Knowing there are hundreds if not thousands of films needing filming and there are not enough directors to go around. 3. Directors are ither fading out i.e. career goes down hill, old age, drink, drugs, death, too stressful etc 4. Watching how other peole have make there movies i.e. behind the scenes. 5. Fellow people emailing you with prase or saying well done. 6. Selling your dvd knowing people are interested. Put offs......... 1. Hate mail usally three pages long 2. Big books about everything about film in extreme detail 3. people and books saying you need 100k+ blam blam blam....... 4. Cast and crew saying you need to go to film school well that does it for me what about you!

i remember there where loads of film crew on the main road in the town and everyone was standing in a circle waiting for the mp to be interviewed and we would get on tv, but right at the last moment they turned the camcorda 180% and filmed in the other direction so theres one tick tak - tack tic.
you could film behind something a tree, a van, so they cant see you. Or just pretened to pak up and leave and when they go shot. I've seen many a time when mass audiances watch on. And the runner quiten them down, or they take the "other hear, hay" out in post. thats all i can offer.

Sorry if this is too much information. Some films you will recognize. Super Size Me was shot on a PD150 as was the film Paper Clips which will soon be released in theaters. Personal Velocity won a bunch of awards on the festival circut and made it to theaters internationally and was shot with a PD150. Hope this helps.

We all have fav films, directors etc but really out of only the low budget film makers that spent under 100k on there film, who made the best over all film. Although I lik Sams blood and guts of Evil Dead and Roberts Cheap as chips El Mariachil, i think i'll have to go with Mad Max you cant beat a need for speed.

yeah i know what you mean ive heard the commantery and read that book. A lot of directors are going digital cos they can make money from there films. I think you need experiance with film.

I get emails saying shot your film on 35mm or 16mm or just film man!, but it costs too much, after watching American Movie I had a look around for Bolex and saw you can get a cheap one for 100 pounds compered to the ARRI SR1 or 2 which is like 4k to hire one. But then again film it self is expencive.
Or
I could buy a Xl1 or PD150 go digital, then maybe if someone buys it they could spend the 50k to transfer it to film. With digital you can shoot take after take, but then in short "its not film". But lol i could go on all day, your digital camcodra is a asset so if you get bored or low on money you could alway sell it.
I hear a lot about Robert R, and his $7,000 movie, but that was over in Mexico USA where its cheap anyway, I dont think anyone could ever match that in the UK on film anyway, maybe on digital....who knows.
Just before i go, i remember Robert R in one of his docs, says how HD is going to be the new revolution and kids getting brought up on it will expect better quiality pictures and cgi packed, this is pretty much true in one way as now twenty years down the line all of the new star wars are digital and everyone seem to have gone cgi fu*kin mad.
