Everyone is familiar with doing things on a shoe string budget a.k.a. “Low Budget”…but today we are here to talk about the latest phenom..”NO BUDGET.”
We just shot a trailer for my video called DUI (Dumb Under the Influence), and it worked for what we needed it for. No FAT news channel cameras with gadgets, bells and whistles…No Hi-Def digital cameras with vibrant colors to make me look like i’m in your living room with you. No Sireee! CHECK OUT THE VIDEO and the instructions below for the “No Budget Diet Plan.”
Ingredients:
*Time and Date for Shoot
*1 to 2 Video cameras (Works best if one is your own and the other is borrowed)
*A location: (Choose a place where the guy keeps the thermostat at about 58 degress even though its just below 32 degrees outside) – Keeps everyone attentative
*A crummy youtube upload of old school footage or scene from a favorite movie ripe for re-enactment
*Request the help of friends that are down to hang out for about 4 hours or so and let them know that you can only pay in Pizza slices
*Enlist an intern or student majoring in Film from a reputable University (this way there is at least one person who knows what they are doing) or SUBSTITUTE a Friend here
*A print out of the lines for each character from the snippet you have selected to re-enact
*Assigning characters in advance usually helps things go smoother
*Everyone takes their place in the scene and the cameras are ready to roll…
*ADDING a little procrastination here with jokes and laughter helps warm everyone up in that cold a$$ location you chose to shoot in
*ACTION..have fun and record as many frames/shots as it is better to have more than not enough when its editing time…
