love it!

I like that Idea, but I'm looking for something more general than a script... I'm just trying to gage which genre would likely be more in demand, script would be the next step.

But when you work with someone else's script, you get into creative control issues, so I'd prefer to make the script after deciding on genre and general concept...

let me put it this way.. I won't be paying royalties to anybody..
I'm basically trying to get feed back on what people might think are good genres, general ideas, subject matter... it might make the decision making process easier for me to focus on something....
Does that make sense? With a small budget and tight deadline (both self imposed) I need to pick one bird out of a flock, aim for it and hit it. I hope to pick something people may actually WANT TO WATCH...

I have been thinking about this for a while now, and I feel I'm ready to seriously jump in to indie film making.
Obviously my Pentax gear is going to be put to good use.
My problem is I have wayy too many ideas floating about... and a shoestring budget.

I'm doing two short films this summer. Each budgeted for under $5000.00

So, what do my fellow photographers think would be interesting subjects/ideas/genre's?

the manual lenses are the best, best feel, silent, best throw for video..
in fact I believe the mirrorless class cameras with manual lenses will be a huge seller for Pentax if they keep the k mount and copy this:

credit where credit is due. Some projects, I even do the music, the foley, set building, etc...
What can I say? some day I will hire a crew!

any more gusses about the kr? first hint, the still photos with Ken Burns effect... KR...
as well as shallow dof and boke shots... KR

I had a rough childhood. I look at the business side of photography exactly the same way as I used to look at getting into a fight. You don't count how many there are. You don't worry how big they are. You don't debate whose skills are better. You don't worry about how badly you're hurt. You simply hit hard, hit fast, aim for sensitive targets, and keep getting up until there is no one left to fight with.

as for the artistic side... I treat it like this.. look at what appeals to me, learn by watching and analyzing others, ask questions, share what you know, and remember, Every Human being out there has something to teach you, if you're willing to learn from them. It is all about communicating.

are you using an "M" lens? or perhaps a bad connection between the flash and the sca adaptor?

nice shots!
I remember him basically from "Goody two shoes" live aid and a guest slot the funniest show ever to bomb on tv, Sledgehammer!


the funniest episode ever was when he and his partner were hostages in a bank robbery and he spent half the episode waiting for three bank robbers to "Line up" so he could shoot all three of them with his last bullet....
