I wish I would've remembered that fully when I made this movie. Because it <i>really</i> bites you later if you don't have money set aside.<br /><br />Thank you so much for your comments on these posts.Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-62275705503665012652017-10-27T19:07:21.164-04:002017-10-27T19:07:21.164-04:00Really appreciate the detail and insight here.

Filmmaking is clearly serious business, and I think it's easy to underestimate how much everything would cost and how much planning and foresight must be needed to make sure each stage of preparation goes off without a hitch. I have a friend who's a budding filmmaker and I'll be sure to refer him to these posts. Looking forward to the next one!

This is a lesson that I think needs to be learned. After all, you have no idea how long it's going to take to be in the editing room. Watching and re-watching footage every day. I learned about this from Martin Scorsese, John Carpenter, and Gus Van Sant. Especially when you watch some of those special features from Criterion as it relates to Terrence Malick's movies. <br /><br />It has to be bonkers to realize what you're given and what you need to spend. This is good. I'm learning stuff from what you're saying. It's good to learn. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
