Shooting A No-Budget Feature Film As A One-Man-Band
from Show Don't Tell: Micro-Budget Filmmaking · host Noam Kroll
In this solo episode, I share a behind the scenes look into my latest feature film, which is being shot with no crew and a highly unconventional workflow. I decided to experiment with this new filmmaking paradigm to test my own creative limits, and show that a great film can be produced on any level, regardless of budget or resources.Throughout the episode I outline how taking a "one-man-band" approach to filmmaking can actually increase production value, while also making for a more creatively rewarding process. Topics covered include:- How I balance directing, DP'ing, and sound recording myself- Why I'm shooting the film in 2-3 day blocks over several months- Editing the film while we are shooting to inform future script changes- The gear I'm using to shoot the film- Challenges and workarounds for filmmakers looking to take this approachFor more exclusive content like this, sign up at http://noamkroll.com/newsletter
