What do you think of these lens zooms?

[ryan elder] “There were times when I thought it could have been better, but other times when it seemed satisfactory at the time. But I am going by other people’s opinions, when they saw the final edits after, mostly.

Then that is your fundamental issue, well before any zooms or lens choices or gimbals or whatnot.

[Ryan Elder]

Okay thanks. I was told I should for my next projects, just fly in actors and crew from L.A. or a bigger city with more of an industry cause their is better acting talent there, and better DPs there, compared to where I live. Do you think that is necessary though, when it comes to finding more experienced people to make a better product with?

Do what virtually everyone else in the industry does (definitely every casting director)… use Breakdown Services / Breakdown Express for your casting.

It doesn’t matter that you are in Saskatchewan, there is talent everywhere.

Any time we post a casting call at Breakdown Express we get on average anywhere from 100 to 1500 actor submissions for each role (depending on talent specs needed, shoot days/locations, dayrate, etc.). You can look at headshots, see their resumes, watch their reels, request auditions of your script.

Post your breakdown, and talent agents will submit their talent through Breakdown Express, and actors will also submit directly via Actors Access. This is the service that literally every talent agent in the free world uses. We will typically get submissions from three or four dozen talent agencies, and hundreds of direct submissions from actors.

You’ll typically get the majority of your submissions within an hour or two of posting. You’ll get them all within 24 hours.

And it’s free. Free to sign up, free to use.

Why don’t you just move to LA?

[Ryan Elder]

Well people I have talked to said not to, because it costs so much to shoot a movie in L.A. compared to hear, with permits and all. So that is why I thought it might cost more than I could afford possibly.

[Bouke Vahl]

Why can’t people just stop replying to this guy.
He does not take advice, he has done nothing significant nor does he tries to do anything himself, claims to have done filmschool but has less knowledge than a teenager after an afternoon of googling but he keeps asking for attention and gives nothing back.

It’s pure waste of time and bandwith. (And no, I’m not stating that as an opinion.)

Sorry it’s not that I mean to not take the advice. I actually don’t think I can shoot in L.A. cause of the money it costs to shoot movies there with permits at all. However, I could perhaps compromise and have the actors come here to do it, and pay for accommodations.

Or if I were to go to LA, how do other filmmakers do it, and get all this money to shoot with the costly permits and all, when they are wanting practice and haven’t been successful yet?

[Gary Huff]

You have money to fly people in and purchase all this gear and yet not be able to afford a filming permit?

[Bouke Vahl]

That includes you, Gary 🙂
