3. If you can afford it, hire a line producer to run the set.

4. Find an excellent DP, like I did and so did Frederic with his DP.

5. Get a good light, grip and electric package.

6. Find an excellent crew.

The only thing that is missing is...

7. Find good actors... I've seen good actors improve a weaker script with their performances...

Whoops! How could I forget good actors?! They're EXTREMELY important!

Also... sound is just as important as image.

Heath McKnight September 15th, 2006 11:00 AM
Of course!

Oops... I didn't catch that one...

Sound, the most ignored item for beginning filmmakers. I know I made that mistake.

Its even ignored by some bigger filmmakers... on our last shoot had a dp who was one of the types that only cared about image...

He always expressed the idea... you can fix it in post... I've never been in the studio world... so when I have a bugdet to meet I have to meet that budget... because I have to look at the whole picture (no pun intended) and make every department work for the whole production...

Thanks Rob!

I'm glad you enjoyed the film.

It was good seeing you there. We seem to see each other everywhere, Vegas, Amsterdam, LA... Where next?
