I believe that when the creative team and production
expertise meet there is an explosion of inspired work that takes place. $250.00 to shoot and post a short film
is no way to treat a real writer’s vision. If you want inspired performances, striking cinematography
and real dramatic writing, time and money are crucial.
Color correcting and on-lining assembling of a theater ready
digital print, is not an option. Why make a short film if your not going to
complete the project?
Student short films are an excellent proving ground for
skills and ideas. Every major player in the film business at one time worked on
a short film and yes some were done for even less than $50.00 but, if you want
to make the jump to be taken serious as a professional film maker then sooner
or later you have to rise to the occasion.
I am fortunate to be joined by some amazingly talented
people that will make it possible to bring “No Good Deed” to the screen. One member of the production team in particular is someone I
have known for twenty-five years or so, John Holosko. John’s latest credits
include 2nd unit DOP for the Pilot “Defiance” the new TV series for NBC
/ Universal. As we carefully plan principal photography John is quick to remind
me that an educated audience will not give your project the respect it deserve
if there expectations are not met by the fundamental rules of motion picture
production.
We are planning to shoot helicopter footage for the opening
and closing sequence of the film. To check out the rig follow;
More to come…
