Here's a link to a thread over at the fff, some pretty useful ideas.
tricks of the amateur film trade

that was a nice list. lots of helpful stuff in there.

If you guys like this list, check out the book What They Don't Teach You At Film School. Awesome, awesome book.

i'll have to check that out, JW

that's a great thread kcfilm, thanks. I especially like the one about feeding your crew, can't remember how many times i've helped gaff in films while starving.

I read a couple of those how to make a movie for $10,000 books and then read What They Don't Teach You At Film School. I thought everything in it was either just worse put information from the $10,000 books, or really horrible bull**** motivation stuff. I found a lot of the stuff on the link fit into those categories too, although I did like the first one.

i no it may seem like crap, but some of those things however simple they may seem are the things r the things people forget and then waste money and time having to reshoot a whole scene or watever. when ur making films u have to pay attention to detail.

Alot of this tips are terrible. If you have to be giving out tips like that to make a movie, you need to get your crap together a lot better before you try to film anything.

RFranco - you'd be surprised at how well some of them work. The book that I mentioned has all kinds of tips like that on promoting and selling your movie, etc.

Don't knock it till ya try it, or at least learn more about it.

I have the book JW so =P

i was talking about the site.
