Mike, How has the audio been going this summer?
Mike, How has the audio been going this summer?
It has been a fine summer so far and it is still going. Have you been keeping busy?
Yeah. I've been staying real busy. Renting a lot of gear to a lot of awesome people and working crew here and there.
I want to put together a small crew to film some shorts I've written and want to direct. I'd like to know what positions I should have on my crew, and what ones I could probably do without. Any advice would also help. Thanks.
I'd get the DP to pull in their own crew - they're likely to have people they trust and who might be willing to do them favours. And I'd definitely get a separate sound recordist - I've messed up there before and got nice pics spoilt by sound errors.
I've worked on a shot before where they didn't think they needed a Scripty... Luckily for them, I was there on at least some of the shoot days. I caught at least one MAJOR (what should have been glari...

I caught at least one MAJOR (what should have been glaring) continuity error. Everyone has to be on their perceptual toes for this to not be a key position.
The answer is as always "it depends". What's your budget? How many actors? How long are the shorts? How much dialog? How many locations? Interiors or exteriors? Do you have a shot list? You need to br...
Expand commentThe answer is as always "it depends". What's your budget? How many actors? How long are the shorts? How much dialog? How many locations? Interiors or exteriors? Do you have a shot list? You need to break down your scripts and do some planning based on the breakdowns and develop a plan that includes a budget and a schedule. Then you can start making rational decisions about what crew is needed.

John, I'd love the opportunity to bid on any indy films. I am very reasonable and I try to explain that if you allow sound a little bit more time to get set up properly, you can save a fortune in your ADR budget because your production audio will be useable 80% of the time instead of 20%. Which was part of your initial point and which I totally agree with.

Hi Mike, we've just added a new section to your tool bar - Resources. Here you'll find links to the best acting, filmmaking, and screenwriting resources as well as a comprehensive list of film schools and film festivals. We'll be adding new categories and links regularly. One more thing, you can now find the "Messages" link in your sidebar right under your name. Enjoy!
Hi Mike, we've just released a pretty big update that I think you'll be excited about. You can now see posts and updates by everyone in your network right on your own wall. Happy networking!
Hi Mike, check out the new "Find Work" section (under Projects at the top of your screen). Here you'll find projects in development that are seeking talent in the occupations you selected in your profile. So if you’re a screenwriter, you'll see projects in need of screenwriters. It’s the perfect tool for matching creative talent with suitable projects.
