Interesting. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! I want to create psychological/surreal short films after I finish my master studies at the uni next Summer, however I terribly lack any practice and experience, so I need to make a few test very-short films before that.

try to get involved with some local pornmakers. They have loads of experience and know how to get an unpredictable shot.
Lighting, talent and script are three essentials you'll need to just strart off with. Rememberr that a good camera operator is worth their pay so if you don't catch on to doing your own camera work then always hire a professional for they make you look great. That goes for all aspects of a production.
I intend to learn myself. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Actually I've scheduled a test shoot this wednesday, part 2 on saturday. I have two imo great scripts ready, but I don't want to waste them on learning, so I'll try something simple and sacrifacable.
It takes time to understand ALL aspects of filmaking and you're learning them where you attend school I hope. I went to classes to get the understanding of the whole picture and it is more than you think. I studied allot but found that renting is the way to go and trying to get others to work for free is another. No matter what you do I hope you the best of luck in making it as well as selling it afterwards.
No, I'm studying something completely different. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! I've read a few books on cinematography though, but of course that's no replacement for practice. I intend to film with my friends who want to join the experience for free. Thank you for your well wishes, I appreciate! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! p.s. I believe that art should be available for free (art belongs to the people and all that) so I intend to release everything we make for free on the internet and distribute it using cd-net (as we call it over here). I have my main job to feed and clothe me.
I agree but in todays world it takes allot of money to make decent films. That's why I suggested that you rent VIDEO equipment, it costs less and gives you more flexibility in post production.
I dont want to get into the paericulars but i shot profesionally, suffice it to say some of you probably seen my work- if you live in U.S, Europe and probable SA, that is prettty cool. I wont be posting my resume here though. For Avats purposes i mostly was camera operator, also lighting specialist, sound, on-camera interview. AND of i trained quite a few top professionals how to edit. First of all YOU are NOT hungry, right there tells any pro that this project will suck wind. This is not looking good at all. Do you have any idea what it costs to process film? Like CosmicTraveler said, for anything watchable, aside from junk, you need a real good camera, lighting??? your just gonna waste a lot of film i can tell already. I would go so far as to say UNuseable. The camera's i used (over 1,000 hours) cost as much as a Ferrari, so i know what i'm talking about. RENT or find someone willing to shoot it for you, and of course any pro knows that lighting and sound are just as important. Talent? Most people are useless in front of a camera, for many reasons- if you can pull this off it will be a miracle. Well, good luckPlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
I was talking 24fps hdv on miniDV tapes Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! , need only a computer. Thanks
A LOT less than in the past though. I'm a big fan of films by Maya Deren, and they didn't take much money to produce.
Porno. It was used as pron to fool internet chat filters, etc., but now it's mostly just a bit geekier way to say porno.
But honestly, if you want to get experience in filmmaking getting involved in porno would be a good option. They are one of the few genres that make a profit, are made on a low budget, and have accumulated a vast knowledge base on how to shoot low budget movies that look 'decent'.
Yes, that's what the public needs to have a better understanding of just what the filmaker is trying to show us about their "visions" in filmaking. Just get everyone nakked and have at it, that's real art today! NOT!
