sorry i am an idiot, just read the post you used on lights, but you say you built a set in an attic? how was that?

Lookin' good. So if you don't mind disclosing, what was the budget? Also, how long was the shoot.

The attic set turned out great, but was extremely tight and very very warm with it being summer and with the lights cooking. As far as the budget... I am not not 100% sure because the money was someone else's responsibility. If we needed to we raised funds as we went. Family members were integral in investing. We planned on doing it for $3000 or less and I think we met that goal. Food was the biggest expense sine nobody was getting paid. The crew was extremely small too. Some days there were only three crew plus talent.

yeah the trailer looks great, and to add to someone else's comment, the quality of the image is matching lots of stuff i've seen shot in HD. you're really pulling the punches with the DVX =)

Thanks a lot ...julian. I am still a little confused as to how it looks like HD, maybe because we used 24pa so the image is all progressive, but I dont know. Whatever it is, it is a compliment so I will say thank you. We are really happy with the response the trailer is getting. It makes us feel really good about the project. Thanks everyone!
