►WE USE THIS CAMERA (B&H) - buff.ly/3rWqrra
►WE USE THIS SOUND RECORDER (AMAZON) - amzn.to/2tbFlM9
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/425k5rG
Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - amzn.to/3WEuz0k
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

Keep in mind - with a 5.5$ million budget, the crew is taking a 50%-65% pay cut in order to work on it. That size budget probably classifies it as Tier 1 Low Budget.

This video came out at the best time possible. I’m getting back into filmmaking and budget was one of those hairy tasks I couldn’t wrap my head around. This put it all in perspective. 🙏

Cheers Gary!

Wow! It's a wonder that movies ever get made.

[@RolandDeschain1]

Apparently there's an unwritten rule when approaching stars to be in your movie where you can't offer the role to anyone else until the star passes on it. Richard E. Grant writes about this in his book 'The Wah-Wah- Diaries' where he sent the script to Ralph Fiennes to potentially play the lead in Grant's directorial debut. And he had to sit on his hands and wait for three or four agonising months while he waited for Fiennes to either commit or turn it down. Because the money was being raised independently he couldn't really move ahead on the picture until he had his star in place. That book is incredible for directors out there looking for international financing. Grant was saddled with an absolutely incompetent French producer who's ineptitude and very French attitude to acquiring contracts almost killed the film on a daily basis. So avoid the French if you can.

You don’t always need a “named actor” to sell a good film.
