The price includes me bringing everything to set, and
taking it all away too. You don't have to run all over town picking
up and returning gear to numerous suppliers. I have a Hi Def camera, tons
of lights, audio gear, and a very fast editing suite. I also have lots of
cool little shooting gizmos, to quickly get the shots you want. I work fast,
while still producing high quality.
You can direct, or I can direct, or I can just help
you direct if you like. You will get a high quality, professional product
that you will be proud of. And we'll have lots of fun too!
I'll guide you and help you. All
you have to do is provide the script, the actors, the location, and some
helpers. Just a few helpers please. It's much faster with a smaller crew. I know
how to get things done quickly with a very small crew. You can get free help in
exchange for credits and a DVD of the movie. And pizza. Don't forget the
pizza.
NOTE: I get twice as much done in
a day as most productions, with a crew about 1/5 as big. It doesn't have to be
nearly as complicated as most people believe. If you are a first time filmmaker,
you will learn a lot by working with me. If you have made several shorts, you
may learn even more.
The above
price is in effect for a limited time, and your short must fit certain
parameters:
1. One location. The movie can include an
establishing shot and about 6 to 8 setups in various rooms of a house or apartment.
2. It
should be shorter than 10 minutes. It may be up to 15 minutes if your actors are
very well rehearsed.
3. There should be no really complicated shots. If
you have a shot or two you are not sure about, discuss it with me beforehand. I
will probably have some ideas which will be simpler and quicker, while still
retaining your storyline. Shorter films are more likely to be shown at
festivals too. About 90% of the shorts that make money are under 7 minutes.
For each
scene, you will get 1-2 master takes, and 1-2 medium takes of each actor, and at
least 2 closes up takes of each actor. (Not counting bloopers) If there
are 6 or less set ups, you can have lots more takes. If your actors are well rehearsed,
this will easily give you lots of good footage for editing.
This is a
special summer rate. My regular rate for 11 hours of shooting and 20 hours of
editing would be $1550. If we go over time, extra hours will be at only $30 per
hour, instead of my regular $70 per hour. With planning, you will not have to
spend any more than $900. You can't beat that price with a stick!
If
there are two locations, and they are close by, it might still be done for $900,
or maybe just a bit more.

To speak to me in person, call 604-731-0090. I work from home
and I am here quite often. If you miss me, leave a message and I will call you
back. Remember, this is a summer special, for a limited time. After I book a few shorts, this offer
will expire. If you want to get your short produced, this is a great opportunity.
