 my own private nightmare then along came digital

First there was film ... expensive, time consuming and get ur wallet out

it's impossible when u're a DIY person to fortell the future of each work from start to finish 'cause some of it is a learned experience and u go along make some mistakes and then learn not to make them again... that's the secret pleasure of hard working DIY folks.

well one can pocket the large charges most 'professionals' charge so that $70. or $90 hourliy rate can go into ur own personal projects like movie making which means u don't really have to rely on any others for moola and that means the enormous problems and slow downs associated with trying to raise money for ur movie will instead be spent on the creative side of 'making the movie'

I know too many others who spend years or never trying to raise the big bucks they think they need 'cause so many think they need big crews but digital has changed all that ... made it so much easy to be a team of two or three than was dreamt of ten years earlier.

Often i'm a team of one and with wireless or shotgun mics capture useable sound and image that i load into my iMac27 and away i go focussed totally on the creative side of it all and not on the financial/legal side of it all. 

go digital boys it's easy....

 

IT'S NEVER TOO LATE by Peter Evanchuck - article IMAGE NEWSPAPER

DIGITAL FLURRY IMAGE JUNK

 

Digital caused a flourish of major movie making interest ... perhaps too much and too many. So many videos - so few ideas... as someone once outlined and I paraphrase.

The vast outpouring didn't make an astounding original flow of amazing ways to make movies with real life content without the mediocre sway of huge studio interference... the happy ending syndrome.

Recently i re-watched FOUR BROTHERS which started out as a rather unique and interesting American feature but ended in a sad display of soup opera results. As it flowed along it became more and more predictably a copy of movies u've seen before several times.

Unfortunately this decline seems to be the 'cater to the lower end' type of holywoody movie too often seen in recent decades.

Some very interesting 'film noir' movies were made in America in the 30's and 40' that are now displayed on youtube free.

I recently watched all the Basil Rathburne Sherlock Holmes movies and much to my surprise since they were made from 1939 to 1946, they were well made and interesting to watch. Certainly they are as good as the more recent Granada's versions featuring Brett as Sherlock.

Anyway, volume is not always the answer and often the damage done... so many images float around everyone's world and most of it cliche ridden nonsense; so, those old Sherlock's seem worth one's time.

the title IN SANE indicates that SANITY AND INSANITY are combined in the life of a bi-polar.

Making a docudrama on the run - theSEARCHforaBEAUTIFUL BACHELOR.

The low budget and almost no budget filmmaker seeks to create a reasonable atmosphere that gives a desirable quality and feel to the film that makes it ‘watchable.’

Since I believe in the location search and like ‘run&gun’ filmmaking and love traveling, the two can help this ideal filmmaking experience happen.

‘Money ain’t everything,’ said the Hatter to Alice.

Beauty shots enlighten the eyes of the viewer, and at times, they might help the viewer to behold an entirely new world that appeals to them.

Eyeball attractive locations that enhance your film and get bums in the seats, so the people at WARNER take notice. Did you know that the Warner brothers originated in Hull,  Quebec?

PS: keep your eyes open in case our film snags a spot in the upcoming  NB Silver Wave Film Festival.
