DIY Filmmaking (Blog #51)

A Little of This...

. For your lights, it's a good tip to run the cord under the leg stands and instead of just out in the open, so in case you trip the cord of pull on it, the light wouldn't fall down as easily.

. Thrift shops such as the Salvation Army, are good places to look out for things, such as other cords for various uses and padding for things you are using around the studio, for extra support.

. Lighting is another thing, good lighting helps a video/movie being made and a good investment comes from lights that could changed and the color could be altered as well.

...A Little of That...

. The thrift store idea is a wonderful idea. I, myself, go to thrift stores a lot for various things and also, for your film, it's a great place to find clothes to use for your actors.

. Using cardboard to block windows out is a little iffy, in my opinion. I would use a thick black curtain, or even a painted piece of wood if I could.

...And a Pinch of That.

. Any other tips that would add to the list?
