Young Dealer in Tera Encantada
Just thought I’d add some thoughts and lessons I’ve learned (so far) while making this film. I hope in some way they are useful to some one.
-Don’t do everything yourself.
-Pay after you get your goods and services.
-Don’t be so trustworthy of people- even people you think you know.
-Believe in yourself and your film even when you have no reason to do so.
-Early in the process write down the reason you’re making this film, who it might benefit, and who should see it… read what your wrote often.
-Accept help of any kind when it is sincerely offered.
-Always over budget. Always.
-Come up with a method of staying organized before you need it and stick to it.
-Save your work after every third keystroke.
-Make back-ups.
-When you absolutely need to buy something don’t procrastinate. Waiting isn’t going to save you money.
-Don’t make your work precious. Show it to everyone and anyone.
- Find ways to stay inspired. And when you are inspired- work non-stop.
-Don’t just hire people, make them excited to take part.
-Learn to do many things at the same time.
-Start promoting your film long before it is completed. Even before you know if it is going to be any good.
-Trust that it is going to be good.
-Get proper film budgeting software and learn to use it.
-Get another credit card.
-Always thank the people who truly helped you and be sure they know how much you appreciate their help. You are going to need their help again.
-Make time to learn new techniques while you are working.
-Do the best you can with the tools you have instead of wishing you had something you don’t.
-You never need as much sleep as you think you do.
-Sleep more.
