How To Film A Movie In 7 Days - Steven Shea

[@peterpan1435]

Perhaps the more useful question ought to be “Have you shot a feature movie in five days and then sold it to streamers or secured cinematic distribution ?”.

Another great video! Havent shot any complete video/ film in 7 days but it gives us another goal to achieve. Always so motivational!! Thanks...keep them coming!

I made a horror feature for $10,000 with 2 locations. A house and woods. I had only 7 days to shoot at the house as I had to rent it (in Brentwood LA which half the budget went to), then a couple weekends in the woods (near Malibu Creek State Park. Free. No permits). It's possible, but honestly, the work suffers when you move too fast as we did.

This is fantastic. No limits to the mind

It's a documentary not the same as filming a story film

I'm about to dp a 7-day horror feature next month. Even in preprod I can already see the schedule means we'll have to make a lot of compromises when it comes to production value but I also see it as a sort of a test of skill. Most of the features I've shot so far have run between 16 and 35 days. It's going to be an interesting if challenging endeavour and I'm looking forward to seeing how well we can pull it off.

Best of luck Esa!

@Film Courage Have you NOT heard of Detour (1945), shot in 6 days for $20,000? One of the great noirs of the 1940s, its bleakness is rarely matched.

[@SHANECatLovinActivistHistorian]

if youre making a movie in 7 days, youre making a movie that no one is going to watch

Have you shot a feature film in 7 days or less?

[@ginx904]

Not in 7 but I have in 10 days

[@Henchproductions]

I personally have moved on from trying to shoot as quick as possible to as good as possible. My current short I filmed over a couple of months a bit at a time. This year I'm shooting a feature, and am aiming for 10 minutes a month, shooting when people are available.

[@johnstrawb3521]

Edgar Ulmer did, and it was GOOD: Detour (1945), shot in 6 days for $20,000. One of the great noirs of the 40s, with a bleakness today's pretenders can only envy.

[@Tightrope_Comedy]

It wasn’t five days but I was around as a feature was being made under just two weeks. Seemed like a bit of a mess, really showed me the importance of planning your shoots

Haha that's a good one! I need to put it on my business cards. Thanks for watching! -Steven

If you stress your production the result will suffer accordingly. With today’s inexpensive digital equipment, production days are a lot more affordable. The complexity of the story, the number of location and special effects will determine the amount of time required to complete a production in a responsible way.
