So i have alot of ideas but im not sure how to express them but a short film seemed like a good start. the ting is it seems exspensive to get into this hobby becasue you need, props, a script, constumes, skills, etc.

it seems fun though and would it be good to make a kickstarter, honestly i dont know ive never made a movie before but im thinking i should start with a short film or make it like a slideshow as the draft.

also feel free to share anything that could help or is related becasue im not sure about filmmaking is ther ea good youtube cideo i should watch or something.

i just want to be creative but also share my work with others or make a pysical copy of it.

    Cinematographer here. It is a very expensive industry but everybody starts somewhere and the technology has improved so much that even no money productions are doable now.

    Shoot on your phone. Shoot outdoors. Use your mates as actors. Writing a script costs nothing but bare in mind everything you write could cost you money to acquire. The clever bit is how to write that without it costing much.

    Above all story and characters are the most important so focus on those rather than expensive gear.

    There’s also some great books out there. The guerilla filmmakers blueprint helped me out a lot when I started out.
