Does anyone know where I can find some good resources on business plans that raised finance for a film? I was going to resurrect this thread here, but thought better against it: http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?325549-Looking-For-An-Old-Business-Plan&highlight=business+plan I've been...

Can anyone advice on this? After reading various books and exploring the internet I'm still at a loss. I've written business plans for bars, accommodation & various other businesses in the past - and whilst some people have said 'Simple, just transfer your knowledge into writing a business...

For years people have said: "Have you not thought about professional photography for weddings, or what about filming them?" To which I've always ignored & disliked. It brings a notion of fear into me. Being paid to do someone's big day, putting a price on it, and you only have one shot -...

Hi guys Back with a little query. A friend back here in the British Isles is tapping into the old school film market and re-producing oldies. The way he's getting around to doing it is by approaching filmmaking from a business perspective. Marketing, business plan perhaps - attracting funding...

It seems with a new trade I learn, the knowledge from the prior goes out the window. My brain can't contain the knowledge of the film/tv industry - whilst learning how to become an entrepreneur in the bar industry. So I've always had this concept for a Children's TV Show. However I'm...

Keeping track of peoples progress in this fest, and surprised by the lack of numbers involved. :huh:

Left College with no qualifications aged 18. Got some advice from a producer when I was a teenager, to spend my cash on a camera and learn the trade by hand instead of film school. It's the advice I followed. But now I'm not so sure. Almost 22, can't attend Uni. Would need to go back to...

Discussed since the dawn of time. I have £3,000 (call it $5k) in the bank, and would really like to try and make a feature that can at least break even. Nothing outstanding perhaps, just at least make it back in it's origin area. I've been looking at businesses opportunities to invest into...

From an interview listed here: http://www.mjsimpson.co.uk/interviews/andrewjones2012.html One of the opening paragraphs explains how they were able to re-create a fairly popular flick, and use it to there advantage because it was in the public domain. I didn't know you could do that...

Scouted around a little bit but I haven't had much luck. Can anyone assist?

Speak for yourself. But with that kind of budget, I'd have hired one of my ex's to be behind the camera. I like him.

Well the title isn't exactly what I'm trying to ask, and I'm not known to be reckless & ambitious. But I want your opinions. When I was growing up, back here in jolly old England. There was sod all support for young ambitious filmmakers. When I was 12 I was aching to be 13. 15 was the next...

Just another pop quiz question. Living in Wales, in the UK. (What the heck is Wales?) Thinking of starting a fresh, potentially in the States. You all seem so upbeat. Ha. Got two friends up in Lake Stevens, Seattle/WA. Never met them in my life, but I'm a risky bloke. Is it worth moving to...

How does one do it? I'm taking on a pub by the end of January, and I would love to kick one door in - and create a 'O' movement throughout the pub. But it would require a private doorway going into the kitchen. So essentially I need to build a false wall corner section, with a doorway. Myself...

I figured using the search feature wouldn't quite work with this one. Curious as to what the 'Film School' link is at the top of the forum?

I've had the Zoom H2 for a few years, and it does my job's perfectly fine. But it's getting to a point now where thing's are more demanding, and i'm shooting sound more externally. I need big fluffy cute dead-cats/wind-jammers. I need something that can be on a pole, and point down on the...

Hoping to construct one as a handy DIY project in the coming months. Has anyone got any suggested plans out there that I could follow? Looking to hold the weight of a Z1.

But In my opinion It was perfectly executed, or almost.. (as was expected) One shot that annoyed me was when they were filming a scene where they stepped inside the TARDIS. And you could clearly see it was just the box.. and not the TARDIS interior. Mainly because you saw the line between the...

How do they bypass 'copyright violation' I'd imagine that if there ripping War of the Worlds, 300 etc they'd need the permissions and such to give the 'ok' to do it?

Logged into MSN this afternoon, the 'Todays news' box popped up showing a link to mobile phone footage of a woman in her late 70's. Somehow bi-passed a bodyguard, and smacking a bouquet of flowers into our former Prime Ministers rib cage in Plymouth yesterday evening. Priceless! Though, In my...
