Stuff we use:
LENS - Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important. This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner. Started using this lens at the end of 2013 - amzn.to/2tbtmOq
AUDIO
Rode VideoMic Pro - The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio. It also helps us sync up our audio in post amzn.to/2t1n2hx
Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - amzn.to/2tbFlM9
LIGHTS - Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light. We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times - amzn.to/2u5UnHv
COMPUTER - Our favorite computer, we each have one and have used various models since 2010 - amzn.to/2t1M67Z
EDITING - We upgraded our editing suite this year and we’re glad we did! This has improved our workflow and the quality of our work. Having new software also helps when we have a problem, it’s easy to search and find a solution - goo.gl/56LnpM

This video is more educational than a semester long producing course in film school.

This is all great, but when streaming services are paying 0.003 per view it makes it bloody hard to make any money, and if your splitting that with a rep and a distributor, well do the math. I've used aggregates and for an independent its a lot better but you still shake your head when you see what you get per view. You can do ok with PPV sites but the streaming with ads sites really take a huge bite.

this is fantastic film courage -- the busy end and distribution of films is always the Achilles heel of filmmakers, and posting things like this are incredibly important. If you want to get into the deep end, you have to pass through the gate keepers, so not only making a good project becomes important, but getting to a Producer rep becomes almost as important if you intend to make money back on the film. There's a sort of self aggrandizing myth that just taking a film to festivals will get it noticed, but with the morbid increase in films being made, it might be overlooked for the crowded field.

very interesting, never heard of a Prod rep. before.

When it comes to E & O Insurance for a documentary, does my appearance release need to contain language for perpetuity? I am working on a doc where one person is requesting a 20 year limit on the use of their image. Do you think I will have trouble at the E & O Insurance stage?

@Babsdoproductions 2 жыл бұрын

Never heard of someone requesting a 20 year limit before, very interesting issue! I’m not sure about E&O conflicts, you’ll most likely just have to call up and ask your E&O provider, but if I were back in my film school law class, they’d probably say to cut that person out or see if they could agree to have you do a mosaic and vocal disguise effect on their scene(s) to therefore not include their likeness at all.

International sales agent= Percentage of distribution, no up front fees. Domestic sales agent (circus road, etc)=$5000 fee and no guarantees.. Which would you trust?

Always make sure the person you align yourself with always has your best interests at heart. That's exactly right. Because if you don't, before you know it your work will just become a tool of THERE'S to try and make money with.
