So far it’s been a week and we’ve raised no money. I know, it’s not you it’s me. I’m doing it all wrong, which is why this will be a project with no budget.
Filmmaker don’t have spare money to give to other filmmakers. Finding an audience for something is hard for me, as I don’t know what an audience wants.
The good thing is the script seems to have got some interest from actors. I have about 30 actors who have said they will attend the audition.
It might be good to get some film of the auditions. Even if we don’t use it in the film. I’ve sent something through to IMDB to see if I can get a list as Megachrist.Doc
It is difficult to get a listing in pre-production on IMDB. We don’t have a cast yet.
I was going to use Final Cut pro X to edit documentary. I did try and ask Apple for sponsorship, but all you get is auto-response emails. So I will try it with the 30 day Demo version.
The biggest problem is do I have enough Hard Drive space to edit another feature length documentary. As I still have about 600 GB from Pub Crawl on my Hard Drive, about 79 Gb left on a 1 TB drive.
My Apple laptop has a battery that lasts for 15 minutes even if it’s fully charged and the 220 GB HD has 30 GB left on it.
I figure I will need 3 MiniDV tapes for the Canon XHA1 to shoot movie. The bigger problem is how many 16 GB SD cards will I need to be able to use Canon 550D as 2nd camera for close-up’s. I think 4 x 16 GB should be enough, might get away with 3 cards.
If I can clear some space on the laptop then I could use 2 cards and copy the data to the laptop Hard Drive.
If you have a DSLR camera and you want a credit on a feature documentary on your CV, then send me an email on crew@megachrist.com or give me a call on 0759-5509105. There is no budget for extra camera’s, but more camera’s will give us better coverage and should make for a better edit.
If you want a credit as a stills photographer give me a call too.
In the last shoot I gave someone on the crew the digital Nikon we used as a prop in the movie. My Nikon D80 and he used up the battery shooing flash.
I’m thinking of using my Nikkor 85mm F1.4 to get close-up’s. I have a Nikkor 35mm F2 as well, which I think is about 50mm on the Canon.
I would like the Canon 50mm F1.8 or F1.4 but, no budget for that. No funders so far, as you can see on Sponsume’s widget on this page.
