Make Movies Without (much) Money
I’ve learned quite a bit over the last 15 years: in film school at the Savannah College of Art & Design, I learned a lot of theories and principles. In short, I learned the way things SHOULD be done.
After graduating (with honors), and working in the real world of commercial video production for a while, I learned how things were ACTUALLY done.
Eventually, I progressed to the point that I saw how things COULD be done. This is the way I do my professional work now: the best possible quality, no matter how small the budget.
It took me a long time to learn this stuff, and now I’ve written the book that I wish I’d had when I was starting out. Here’s some of what you’ll find in “Make Movies Without Money: Microbudget Filmmaking for Students, Photographers and Other Starving Artists.”
- An easy-to-follow system for preproduction: the most important – and most frequently overlooked – part of any project.
- A shortcut to “thinking in shots” that will allow you to instantly grasp the vital concept of shot selection.
- Detailed recipes for cinema-style lighting, including how to work with available light.
- A crash-course in field audio engineering: one of the most problematic areas for rookie filmmakers.
- Five techniques to get attention-grabbing shots using no more than a tripod..
- Everything you need to know about DSLR video production, including an overview of dual-system sound, pulling focus without a follow-focus, and footage transcoding.
- A detailed understanding of the three exposure variables, and how to use them in the cinematic style.
- How to achieve professional results without most of the gear you’ve been told you need.
- A plain-English explanation of codecs, resolution, framerates, pixel aspect ratios and other technical gremlins.
- Clear recommendations on equipment that offers the best bang for your buck.
And Much, Much More!
