I also find it would very difficult to be DP, director, and production sound mixer all at the same time if I have to be. How do other filmmakers do it?
-
Okay thanks, you’re right. It’s just I was going to start a new a short film and look for a DP, but wonder if I should delay it now, to learn from a DP instead.
-
It’s just I have these other projects coming up I am directing as well, and don’t really have time or the money to go another city and get an unpaid job learning, when I don’t even want to be a DP, and would rather just stick to director and editor to build towards. So therefore, shouldn’t I still look for, an hire another DP?

Okay thanks, but I still need people to help and I can’t wear all the hats can I? I mean I’m already director and production sound mixer and editor most of the time, so shouldn’t I leave the DP to another hat, rather than take on that one too?

Okay thanks. I got a lot of good sound equipment, but I can’t be behind the camera and operating the boom and the mixer at the same time time of course, so I need someone else to be behind the camera, so I can operate the audio equipment.
I have been trying to find a really good DP but they have been hard to find in my experience. I was told by someone at my film school that I should just hire one from the DGC (Director’s Guild of Canada), and even though they are a lot more money, it’s worth it.
But I looked it up and a DP from the DGC is actually quite a bit of money and it will eat through future budgets for sure. So do you think that it’s the only way to get what you pay for, or are their other organizations to find cheaper DPs willing to do cheaper projects?

Okay thanks, but I tried that before, and they said that they cannot make real locations look near as good, cause I have no control. The location owners will not allow me to repaint for example, so the set designer said they wouldn’t be able to do much good if they can’t control the color.

I forgot, I should have stated a warning for violent and sexual content.

Sure, here are a few links to some of what I have done so far, and I have a current project being edited and underway:

Sure, I can do that, but I did that before on here though, and perhaps no one has seem them? Or where should I post them?

Okay thanks. I tried copying and pasting it but the program still reads it as 24 fps on a new 25 fps timeline. If nothing else works I can just redo it.
