MonsterFest Rules

:nads: OUCH!

I guess we should all run out, buy a RED and lease a movie studio because apperantly it's impossible to make a good film in the basement, garage or apartment.

Thanks for the words of encouragement.:beer:

I don't think Shawn meant anything. One does not need a RED or Movie Studio to create a world for the viewer!
 
If one can tell a compelling story in an apartment, garage, or whatnot... then props to them :)

I shot my last fest entry in a big office building :) a little different I guess... come to think of it, none of my past entries were in a garage or apartment...
 
I just booked a few tickets on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft... I'm leaving the planet to shoot my short which is essentially a re-enactment of the Apollo moon landing except when Buzz steps onto the lunar surface, there is a horrific surprise awaiting him... a group of moon zombies.

This is all part of my plan to increase awareness to my feature intentions, aptly titled, 'moon zombies' in which these lunar zombies hijack spacecraft and come infect earth.
 
One thing I'm sure of... is that you don't need any particular level of production gear to make a good video. Some of the projects with the highest level of equipment have been the most boring to me.

Just because it's shot on RED doesn't mean it will hold my interest for more then 30 seconds.

Don't feel threatened by gear... it has very little to do with telling an interesting story.

People with good gear tend to hang on neat looking shots and artistic crap that gets boring quickly... pacing and story arc are everything.
 
There sure is a lot of ummm "passion" to go around already, and it's only been a day and a half! Let's hope that it gets channeled into some great films, wherever they are filmed.

Wow Geoff! Can I produce for you? Or even just AC :) I'll do it!

Just got off the phone with Anatoly Perminov, my main Russian contact and more importantly, the now co-producer of the project...(he really dug the script!) He's taking it into consideration, Brandon. I originally convinced him to send just myself, a makeup artist and the cast aboard the rocket, but I stressed that having an AC would really help accelerate the pace of filming. I had a horrible dream last night of trying to pull focus in zero g and as my hand tried rotating the barrel of my nikon prime, I started spinning around the camera... perhaps an AC is a necessity?

I think an AC would be good... hope I get to work this gig!:beer:
 
I'm going to wager a bet that we will see at least 10 films featuring andrew kramers "demon face" effect =P

And the winning film of QuestFest was shot on the $1500 GH1. With no audio, probably because the GH1 doesn't make additional microphones or monitoring audio easy, so they just reworked the film to not require any dialogue.

AND it was completely shot in their garage, and you couldn't even tell!
