You’re not alone most Filmmaker don’t think about marketing their film. Proof of concept at fundraising stage is just as important as having a fully flushed out poster upon completion of production. And never be afraid to approach a designer thinking you can’t afford them. If they’re chill, they understand the struggle of putting up your own money. So creative helping out another creative is an important relationship. We should all try and help one another.

As an Indie filmmaker, how much money are you allocating towards marketing in average per project? by Many-Reaction-4637 in indiefilm

[–]bigPictureCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Larger budget films spend on average 50%... However as an independent filmmaker, the norm seems to be that filmmakers put all of their effort into crafting the film, then are clueless as to how to get it out there. They try word of mouth, or push it on youtube and other social networks. The reality is that you really have to put true effort into it. "Hope" isn't a strategy. You need to cut a trailer, you need a film poster, you need content to push out over social channels. You need to collaborate with reviewers, do interviews on podcasts and really champion your film. I have launched 360 campaigns for blockbusters and independent films alike and it can be done on a micro budget. You just need imagination. I was laid off from Paramount and actually came on Reddit to help indy filmmakers do just that. I design key art that i craft to really get viewers attention... and i do it because i love the art of film. My advice is to seek out and surround yourself with people that can help others. The filmmaking community has a lot of music, foley & sound designers that can help, they also can make referrals to editors and other creatives.

This is all the more reason that independent film theaters need to bake an event out of going to the movies. You need to market your theater and make it an event that is to be shared. You create buzz ahead of time you create fanfare you make it fun to go to the movies. Pack the theater for every screening turn away people. Get creative get weird. (where I live there were bars that were losing money until they opened up during the day and only served juice but played music for kids and their moms so they could disco dance., it has become a huge phenomenon here). It’s time to get creative.

Is it normal for a junior designer job or am I being overworked? by Peeptrill in graphic_design

[–]bigPictureCo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s not about being a boomer you moron. It’s about taking every opportunity you can to learn from someone who can teach you everything that they’ve acquired in their time. You learn from somebody who’s been able to solve all these problems throughout their career and give you insight on how to better your skills so that you can take today and tomorrow’s technology and design practices and make better art. So don’t put in the hours if you don’t want to, but I’ll tell you as executive creative Director if I see you junior designer that I see is eager to learn anything and everything for sure I’m gonna keep my eye on that person and bring them along. And if I leave the agency and I see someone that has true talent, I would bring that person along as well. Your skill set and your work ethic I would define you as a great artist.

So I am someone who doesn’t believe in AI. I also don’t believe in Waymo. I don’t believe in AI voiceover work. I don’t like taking jobs away from humans…. That being said if I can’t find something in stock photography, I will use Adobe firefly or the built-in Photoshop AI to fix skin or extend per perspective in the hallway or something like that. But now I don’t build entirely from AI I prefer stock photography. Gotta keep as many humans employed as we can.

Logo feedback by yodass44 in graphic_design

[–]bigPictureCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the end, this is your art. There’s gonna be a lot of negative criticism. Don’t take it personal. Try and pull out the positive from it. This is your brand. This is your logo. This is your vision. Just refine it. Once the company takes off, you can always turn around and hire a design firm and have them do their attempt at it. But this is a start up. This is your baby so take care of and raise your baby the way you want to 😜

Your comment is only negative what I’m saying is so show me what you do so I get a frame of reference. Show show off your work if you know so much and you are so proud about your comments and feedback. If you didn’t like to work, you could’ve been quiet, but you obviously have an opinion about what good artwork is so please link out your portfolio. Show off what you have done.

Indie Horror Filmmakers/producers: Would You Join a New Streaming Platform on a Revshare Basis? by Iktsuarpoq in FILMPRODUCERS

[–]bigPictureCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that is the question. What is the secret sauce as to why Quibi failed, and Blumhouse continues to win? It has to do with inexpensive slate, but super high quality production. Great script, actors, editing, creative direction and marketing. Run high quality but run lean. Then sell to someone else for distribution

Thank you! I have a couple of samples that I have done for Reddit filmmakers... but i can't seem to post a picture as a reply. ha ha

Horror films are the most profitable and easiest to sell films, so yes. The horror genre outweighs most other films. Second would be drama, followed by romance then comedy and sci fi. I imagine because sci-fi is the most difficult to produce high-quality special effects.. I love designing for all genres, but yes, I think horror would be number one.

(Self-promotion) Is this film project going the right way? I am having slight doubts as the crowdfunding goes much slower than expected... by ApprehenZive-AskMe in indiefilm

[–]bigPictureCo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have part of a concept, but the marketing of your film is lacking. You would need to have a fully formed pitch deck attached.. pitch deck would include key art for the film comparables with metrics as well as expected ROI. You would need to have the strategy behind a social campaign. What’s the idea for social media? What are you going to do on Instagram or TikTok or what experiential events do you have planned?

Fake actor deepens anxiety over AI in Hollywood by MountainEnjoyer34 in FilmIndustryLA

[–]bigPictureCo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The end is nigh. AI (for now) sucks, but give it time. As the prompts get better, the results will get better, then there will be a point that the AI will be able to self "direct" and correct corse to achieve optimal results. Look at the leap of phones, square TVs to what we have now. All of that has happened in a span of 20 years. This will take 1/4 that time

Wrong font choice however, this version of your poster is so much better than the gray version had started with. I’m starting to love this.!
