How do get involved with short films and student films?

March 11, 2010 - 9:35 pm 3 Comments

I would really like to get involved in short films and student film, but I don’t know how to go about it. I live in London, and am 20mins away from central london. Does anyone know I can go about getting involved?

Local colleges are the best way to go. Find some nearby schools that have a focus on film making and submit a headshot and resume to them. Usually those directors are dying for new faces instead of the same old actors from the school. In fact, they’re usually grateful enough to provide you a copy of the final product and (if you have enough work) will offer to help you make a reel in lieu of payment.

Also, look at local audition postings. A lot of times there’s a long list of theatre auditions and then a smaller list of local filmmakers looking for small parts in independent films. In America we have Craigslist online which is a free post and there are always a lot of opportunities there. Does London have an equivalent?

And just for good measure, networking is such an important tool for film! Meet as many film-associated people as you can and meet their friends, then theirs… Schools are the best places to do that. If you’re in a position to enroll in a film class (just a freelance class- not college level) you’ll meet a lot of people there who are in the class, or even the folks teaching, who will be able to give you more contacts and places to find casting opportunities.

These are things that worked for me! Best of luck to you!!

How much does it cost to get photo films developed at Asda or Tesco?

March 9, 2010 - 10:08 pm 1 Comment

25exp films. I have four in total to get developed. The cheapest service (5 days or similar) not the hour serrvice.

As far as I remember I developed a coupe of films a few years ago for like 10p per exposure. Best thing is to try into some local photography shops as the final exposures at Asda or Tesco are not so good. They are quite dark and the colour tone is sometimes too high.

Award winning unofficial prequel to The Lord of the Rings dramatising Aragorn & Gandalf’s long search for Gollum. This 40 minute film, made by fans for fans is based on the appendices of LOTR and was painstakingly shot on a low budget as a homage to Peter Jackson’s trilogy and the writing of J.R.R. Tolkien.
Costing less than $5,000 to make, with a team of volunteers, Independent Online Cinema are proud to have brought Middle-earth to the screen once more. We hope you enjoy The Hunt For Gollum as much as we enjoyed making it.

This Youtube version is slightly extended with 1 scene added back in.

Would like episode numbers, please.
I made the mistake of watching the Bleach films to early!

The Naruto movies have nothing to do with the plot of the anime.

How can I learn about how films are made?

March 1, 2010 - 5:20 pm 3 Comments

I want to learn more about how films are made (production aspects). There are not many films filmed near where I live so I do not get many opportunities to become an extra on set (only have once). What are some good books or websites that will help me learn all the technical terms?

well if your in college save up your money and come out to los angeles and transfer to a film school, that’s what im doing except for the whole moving out her cause I live out here already lol. But you can go to beinamovie.com, they e-mail you whenever they are going to film a scene and where they are. I haven’t gone out to one because i don’t have a car or any means of transportation. If your college has a film program you should take it i mean if you are still in school. but that is pretty much i know for now but you should check on Google for like intern stuff and they can use some runners like coffee fetcher stuff, hey that’s what Steven Spielberg did when he was first starting out. Good luck!
