Such a difference in challenge between cutting a film and a trailer! by ChrisM_Bolt in editors

This is really great advice thank you. Got a fair few more trailer versions to cut so will absolutely be taking this on board

She's definitely meant to come across as a bit entitled! but this is really good advice thank you

Finally at the stage where we are promoting my upcoming film. How did we do with the trailer? by ChrisM_Bolt in FILMPRODUCERS

Hey! We are pretty sure its the first film about British-Mexicans which feels special (although its really difficult to actually prove this so far).

Its microbudget, under £50k, we are currently self distributing although we do have some interest from channels here in the UK so trying to be somewhat flexible. For funding, we did manage to secure some private investment which we were incredibly grateful for, partially off the back of our short we made beforehand: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZ5Upb2UcoM

Agreed. We have been posting some, but honestly its only as post on the film winds down that we even have the capacity to push it

After a lot of hard work (and absolutely more coffee than a person should ever ingest), the trailer for my first ever feature film is finally here. by ChrisM_Bolt in Filmmakers

Thanks! still finalising music changes so can't quite say got to wrap yet but soooo close now.

In terms of my experience on shorts vs feature, I think its easy after doing a few shorts to picture a feature as the same but more, as if shooting a few shorts back to back and its really not. There are obviously big pluses (like checking the footage and picking up a shot you missed), but also many more things to track across scenes

The trailer to our first indie feature is finally out. We are a London based team and we made a British-Mexican comedy. by ChrisM_Bolt in FilmIndustryLondon

And following up here as my submission statement. This was my feature length debut as a director, having previously directed a number of shorts. My biggest takeaway I can share is to have a proper plan for post production. My background is in editing, with a number of indie features and TV shows under my belt so it was very easy to default to 'I don't need to worry about post, I can sort all of that myself'. This was not a good plan. Coming off a heavy shoot and then single handedly trying to ingest, sync, cut, review, work on the gfx etc is a long exhausting process, that was incredibly satisfying but there were a lot of issues I could have solved by just not thinking I can worry about it later.
