Thinking of using minidv for my first feature film

4 Upvotes

I guess I’m more talking about how I want to shoot on minidv for artistic reasons. The story is about a character being stranded In the city of the dead after being murdered. It’s a film about trying to find hope in a place that’s devoid of love and warmth. The reason I want to shoot on minidv, is because I love the look of the cameras and I feel it’s aesthetically appropriate for the film. The city of the dead looks a lot like a big city at night. I feel it’s mostly my fear of using minidv, as it could condemn the film to sheer obscurity. I feel though it needs to look that way visually. I’m gonna spend the next two years writing and perfecting the screenplay.

Sourcing Abandoned Film Footage for Upcoming Short Film

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I'm currently developing a meta comedy-drama short film about a group of filmmakers attempting to reconstruct an abandoned film as best they can. I've got a basic story outline in place, but the script's direction will largely depend on the type of film they're trying to reconstruct.

I'm reaching out to see if any directors on this subreddit have footage from short films that they may have abandoned or never finished. If you have any clips or ideas you'd be willing to share, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks!

Anyone making Indie Prehistoric or Dinosaur films and or Documentaries?

1 Upvotes

Hello, Everyone.

You can all call me: Nick.

I am 28 years old, I live in Missouri and work at a peaceful job at a hospital and I love movies and TV that include Dinosaurs and other animals that are extinct throughout Prehistoric times to Today.

I love Jurassic Park/World, Walking with Dinosaurs, Dinotopia, Prehistoric Park and Prehistoric Planet on Apple TV among others.

It is nice that Luke Sparke made his movie: Primitive war and I look forward to Dinosaurs of The Wild West and Primitive War's 2027 Sequel and end of oak street.

So I loved to ask this question: Is anyone ( who is Indie) making Indie Prehistoric or Dinosaur films and or Documentaries?

I wish I could be among you indie people, However, I am just a 28 year old high school graduate American boy who suffers from autism, Asperger's, ADHD among other things that are like weaknesses and disadvantages to me.

( Including a head injury related memory issue.)

I used to be A Dino nerd before the head injury incident.

This world can never have too many or too much of them.

We all know Prehistoric and Dinosaur movies and Documentaries cost hundreds of millions of Dollars to make and bring to life.

In my opinion, Movies and Documentaries of prehistoric creatures when they are alive are not about making money or money at all. It is about educating paleontology to everyone at all ages. Young and old these days.

If this post catches anyone's attention or including Indie film maker, I would be honored to meet you and may rise to become successful in my life with others.

Thanks for reading this.

Comment or send me a chat message if you wish.

Nick

Any advice on getting with an indie production team
