| Helm | A gaffer is the dude who holds the microphone above the characters, hopefully just out of the scene. | |

| pjalne | I'm pretty sure a gaffer is the guy in charge of electrical equipment. I'm now glad I wasn't asked what a grip is on my oral exam. | |

If kellychaos gets to be the best boy, I want to be the best boy grip Or the key grip. I remember the first Naked Gun movie's credits explaining what it was, but I didn't stop the movie to read. |

| kellychaos | I wann a be a "gaffer". I don't even know what "gaffer" is but it sounds so mafioso. Plus, I'm bursting to unleash, at the right moment, the reply "Gaffer, I nearly killed her!" Wucka, wucka, wucka! I suck. Anyway, I'd be happy with "Guy #4 In The Park". :/ | |

| Mockery | Max, you have to be in the movie regardless. And no, you don't have a choice in the matter. | |

| mburbank | Mod and Rog: When you get to the point you're shooting, if there are any shortish character roles, give me a call. I'd make the time. | |

"...which has really come in handy in explaining a lot about what happens on a movie set and what a producer really does." A producer's job is simple: get a spiffy, important looking title on the movie in exchange for putting up a bunch of cash. So unless I can find a few rich people to really help fund my project, I'm guessing I'm gonna have hundreds/thousands of "producers" As for your fears of taking on the project without having any prior experience. Fuck 'em. It's your vision, you should do whatever you want. Hell, whenever I get my zombie project off the ground, I'll be a lot more than just "writer/producer" or whatever. And I guarantee you, one of my titles on the film will be "Janitorial Services (ie: puke cleaner-upper)". All I need is to find some rich people who will help fund the damned thing. -RoG- |

Miss Modular, Movie Producer? If you've been reading my blog lately, I've been talking about a script I've been putting together called The Now People. Its nature is a tad unconventional, so I'm not really going to shop the script around to Hollywood production companies. I've been shopping a treatment around for some time, but I've only gotten one response back. I've been thinking in the meantime, once the first draft is finished, to start coordinating a package to shop around to financiers. I've got an accomplished music video director interested in collaborating with me. This particular project will be on a larger scale than RoG's Zombie movie, but at the same time dealing with the same exploitation matter that RoG is dealing with. I have a couple of worries, though. 1.) I don't know if I should attempt to produce a movie when I haven't even spent time on a movie set. I have read a few books on producing Independent Films, most notably Christine Vachon's Shooting To Kill, which has really come in handy in explaining a lot about what happens on a movie set and what a producer really does. Experiences tend to be most rewarding when you don't really know what you're doing, but should I wait to do this kind of thing until I've had some on-set experience? 2.) I'm not totally comfortable of producing the whole thing by myself. I could handle coordinating the creative talent, but the administrative parts (film stock, budgeting, crew, dailies, etc.) would be a little more difficult. I'd rather work with someone who would have a better understanding with numbers. Does anyone have any advice on what I should do? Do you think I should go for it, or wait? Any advice is helpful. |
