It's always been my process to write big and then be forced to make it smaller while editing the script. My initial vision for a nightclub scene in Wait was this massive long tracking shot, but I realized very quickly that it could not be done with a microbudget. Tough stuff, writing for budget. <br /><br />Thanks so much for your comment!Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-72601377131154100052017-10-19T05:24:38.615-04:002017-10-19T05:24:38.615-04:00Creating within a realistic budget, yep, and you h...Creating within a realistic budget, yep, and you have the experience to back up those words and advice.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-4327765290855360132017-10-18T19:08:59.094-04:002017-10-18T19:08:59.094-04:00A1 read.

As someone who isn't even "starting out" yet, it's always interesting to read about not just different approaches to steps in the film-making process, but also different schools of thought in approaching those approaches... if that makes sense. Whether it does or doesn't, well done on the post.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00580771820153638450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-20909275017230935062017-10-17T19:30:38.864-04:002017-10-17T19:30:38.864-04:00This was a fascinating read and I love that you...This was a fascinating read and I love that you're laying it out like this.

Especially when I try not to go for something big but rather small as I cite <i>Somewhere</i> as an inspiration of going for something minimal and rely less on dialogue and such. I kind of have it in my head of what I want to do visually but I think it's kind of changed since I last wrote the film. <br /><br />I think part of the reason why I haven't really continued is probably because I'm thinking of something big but then wanting to scale back to something smaller. It's a challenge and I'm glad you're writing something about the ideas of doing something small. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
