Twilight Fest budgets?

[armisiano]

So, very rough estimates here, but what are some of your budgets for this fest? I know they'll probably be a great range, from $25 to $2500, but I'm so curious.

[Jason Miller]

2500? mine is less than that, but I bet many will be much higher.

[Ezekiel667]

My budget? Lets see...

Subtract the 2, multiply by 6, add in that, take away and reverse this...

I'd say it's close to about 30 bucks. :thumbup:

[Postmaster]

Nada zero, nothing, nix, gar nix.

...and I got a free door. :)

Frank

[Simon Höfer]

probably around 300-400$ Including gas and food.

[AmyO]

This is my biggest budget yet. I've stayed under $75 before, but this time I think I'm around $1000. Most of it went to renting a camera and paying actors and buying lunches for 8-10 people.

[lone.smuggler]

£120 - £150 for Filming Camcorders & Accessories.
(I like my toys..)
£30 on VSX
£90 on Permits
£20 - £30 on Catering

Nothing on Firearms, Vehicles, Carriages, Booze & Guitar.

Still got a lot to add up. Looking nice and pricey already.

[Fohdeesha]

I had about 5 dollars layed out, but I already spent it on gas

[clarkage]

Probably about $100 dollars on equipment. (would have been more if i had rented instead of borrowed) And then probably $50 on food and gas. Not bad...

[Tim Joy]

I had a budget of $600, but it looks like I'll be over... probably $800.

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

probably around 300-400$ Including gas and food.
Same here. Most went to food and a donation for the location use. :beer:

[Mattykins]

600ish.

Came in well under budget. Expected 2000 - but I downscaled the project.

[ZazaCast]

...and I got a free door. :)


Yeah... a free door with an EYE in it! :huh:

2 films for this fest, the first one about $310.00... this second one will be somewhere in the range of $100 (mostly food & a few props).

[Jason Miller]

zaza I have to say i'm really looking forward to seeing what you can do with 310 and 100, I can't wait.

[ZazaCast]

...me too!:)

[Mike Manning]

Oh jeez.. mine isn't even finalized... it just keeps going up... here's a rough estimate... I can post a finalized budget when it's all done and payed for... but...

Wooden Nickel Lighting Equipment - $756
Kevin and Frank's Equipment - $350
Suppose U Drive Truck Rental - $500ish (+$200 for the parking mishap...sigh)
Art Gallery Location Fee - $250
Art Supplies - $225
Food - $300
Total $2500ish...

YIKES!

[gabrielflorit]

Probably around $2-3K.

[ZazaCast]

OMG! Hey... if any of you guys are looking for a bridge to shoot on (or jump off of), I have one for sale in NY...cheap?

I'm so glad I do this for fun.

[armisiano]

Those of you who ARE spending a few grand on this, are you planning to take it further to other festivals or find a way to further your career with it, or do you just have the income to do so for pleasure?

F*ck yes! I wish I had the income to spend like this...

The budget is actually split between myself and 2 other producers... after Twilight we definitely want to submit elsewhere and see how far we can milk it...

[Tim Joy]

I feel confident that you will end up with a work of art. :2vrolijk_08:

[Kirk Gillock]

What's a budget?


Stop throwing big words around.

[Zim]

Under $100

[Mike Manning]

I feel confident that you will end up with a work of art. :2vrolijk_08:

Oh no, I've doomed myself with my title! Hopefully it'll be true to its namesake..haha!

Seriously, though, thank you. I really hope to deliver the goods for you guys... this is such a supportive community, I wont let you down.

I do plan to take it to festivals, but mostly I'm just spending all this money because I'd been saving up for a bit. And also because as an Alaskan resident I, like every other Alaskan resident, recently got $3269 from the state government's Permanent Fund Division.

[zergtherobot]

Our budget is whatever we can scrape out of our pockets. When all said and done it will be a few hundred bucks, mostly going to be spent on keeping the actors happy.

[Dustin R. Rogan]

Sleep Walk's Budget

$50 for the CO2 gun
$40 for the hotel room
$10 for unused glow sticks
$30 for food

$130 total

ps there is still a $41 credit floating out there somewhere from the first Hotel fiasco.

so new total is $170 (until i get that credit back)

[MOVIE MASTER]

Okay $6,000 for lost souls $66. On sulfur and ash
brings my grand total to $6,66

[Vader]

$200 ish for props and gas.

[ZazaCast]

$200 ish for props and gas.

Vader... start a thread for your film & tells us all about it.:beer:

[KOHR]

I'm planning for anything under $500... but its looking at about $300 right now

[Adam Beck]

$250.00 was the final amount for The Treasonist.

[Steve Strickland]

Teacher's Pet came in a little under $500.00 to shoot and score.

[majikfraug]

I lost some receipts, but I'd say Borders of Elysium ended up costing around $200-$250

[AJ Brooks]

Innocence --- $20 for tapes, $7 for caution tape

Everything else was borrowed.

Truly the poor student budget. :)

[pauly_the_hitman]

Lets see we used like 4 tapes and all the locations I got for free. So I am gonna say with my employee discount from Pizza Hut I spent somewhere around $35.
Pauly

[Tim Joy]

I had a budget of $600, but it looks like I'll be over... probably $800.

I was like Hank Paulson shoveling out the benjamins. I figured I'd better spend it while it still has SOME value. Ended up being around $999.71 and 7 haypennys.

[MrKilloran]

somewhere around $260

[leteeci]

Hmhmh..

150€ for phone and cell-phone calls
100€ for gas and cast travel expences
100€ for food and locations
60€ for light rentals and spare bulb
10€ for tapes
--------------------------
Total: 420€ = $535.29

[armisiano]

Between costumes, food, gas, some light stuff and prop stuff, all in all about $250, maybe $300.

[Mile Bozicevic]

Hmm, all in all I think I got under 70 $.
There was this ball and candies to bribe the young actress, some beers, developing photos...hm, that's about it.

[Richard J. Johnson]

Foresight came in at $0.00. I re-used everything from an earlier film, shot in my parents garage and my friend's bar. And every location was within a few miles of each other. It was quick and dirty.

[rustes]

$25 bucks in Gas.
$15 in minidv tapes.
$20 on food
--------------------------
$60 bucks, not too shaby

Everyone was a volunteer.

[ZazaCast]

"An Enchanting Twist of Peccadilloes" - $220.00
"TWISTED" - $87.59

[galbach]

I think ours was around $300.. For food, props etc... Now if you were to calculate time... Well....

[punkkid]

My budget with gas and food would be around $400 and 4 days labor at the local rental house.:zombie_smiley:

[ramsaur]

Mine was $4.75 for 18 bottled waters

[armisiano]

Mine was $4.75 for 18 bottled waters

You're lucky, I didn't think my budget for my current LossFest project was gonna exceed maybe $250, $350 MAX. Looks like closer to $1k.

Ah well. Sometimes one must drain shallow pockets.

[SK3055]

Lol don't you guys feed your actors? I take it a lot of you shot in just a day or two, but I thought feeding the cast and crew was law, even on no budget films.

Of course, this is coming from a college filmmaker who so far has managed to get other people to shell out the money ;)

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

Sleep Walk's Budget

$50 for the CO2 gun
