HorrorFest Budget

[luster]

What kind of budgets are you guys/gals working with on these projects?

[Brandon Rice]

$0 Lol

[Matt Sconce]

right now at 2500.00 going to probably 3500.00

[dvpixl]

im closing in on $800...and i had no idea that people were spending thousands here... sheesh!!!

[Brandon Rice]

Yeah, several people are I think, but it's not always the budget... and sometimes people count their equipment purchases in the budget as well.

[Matt Sconce]

:thumbsup: I count the equipment I had to buy for the project in with the other expenses. But it is not the budget that makes the movie. It is definitely the creativity and heart behind it.:thumbsup:

[n8ture]

That's my deal. I had to get a controller for a jib shot that I wasn't planning on buying right away. So, I'm including that in the budget for Black Angel.

[HorseFilms]

$5 for the tape and about $50 in booze.:beer:

You said it. That's for sure.

[luster]

I personally consider everything I buy part of the budget - from crew to equipment to software to food to gas, etc.

[Brandon Rice]

Since I already have equipment I don't count it. I DO count new purchases though... and I do count food and everything else.

briceman,
sorry. yeah that's what i meant - new equipment.

your $0 budget is very impressive. you wanna produce my next film?

Sure... it'll go up I am sure... after buying the three person cast and crew, maybe to $30 or so :thumbsup:

[Ralph Oshiro]

I bought 4 chairs at Target, $39 each. I still have to buy a bikini at Target ($30). Two props at $24.99 and $7.99 each. Paying one actress $100, and her sister, $100 for various duties. Crew: $0 (me). Music: $27 (Acid loops CD). Grand total: $461.57. Not bad.

[luster]

Nobody over $5000, yet? I'm surprised.

[Michael_Petro]

Several hundred bucks ... mostly food and beer.. the shoot went way longer than I expected peoples schedules and such. So it adds up, i'm afraid to read the receipts. I will do that after i submit the movie :)

I was quite surprised to see some of the budgets here. An expensive hobby, eh? (hopefully more than a hobby for you all!)

I can't count any new equipment expenses because it is ALL new, basically. And you all know how much this stuff costs!

My expenses will be tapes and gas. I am doing all of my own acting, camera, lighting, sound, writing and directing! (Sounds like a winner, huh? :grin: )

I am doing it for the experience. I am a creative perfectionist. I think it will be worth watching.

And can I just say.... "I LOVE MY CAMERA!!!" :love4:

oh, man.... I WISH I was. That would be so cool. Plus, I miss the West Coast so much. I talk about moving back there so much. If I do, I am sure that I will find a whole bunch of dvx friends! (Not many up here in Moose country!)

You should, man. There are a lot of cool people on dvxuser... and everyone seems to love filmmaking and want to just be a part of whatever project is going on... Cali's calling my friend... :beer:

I've noticed that here. I see examples written here all the time. DVXUSERS are COOL.

And Cali's been calling for the last 12 years. I was on my way back when I met my wife here in New Hampshire. Damn! I was SO CLOSE to moving back.

Still not out of the question. I actually have my wife talking about moving, which involves leaving her very close-knit family. But it is time.

Until then, it's long distance, my friend!

[hvxabuser]
