2- Video interviews from all kinds of content creators

3-Movie reviews from a low budge perspective.

4- The Outlier Project. By now you’ve probably heard of Malcolm Gladwell’s new book Outliers

. In it he says, “To become a grandmaster also seems to take about ten years. And what’s ten years? Well, it’s roughly how long it takes to put in ten thousand hours of hard practice. Ten thousand hours is the magic number of greatness.” If he is right, I better get moving!!

The Outlier Project will be my attempt to log some extra hours to get to greatness more quickly. Kind of like extra credit. You’ll see short videos that I create to practice working with different cameras, learn Final Cut pro, etc.  I encourage you to start logging your 10,000 hours too.

5-Lots more.

My Outlier Project-Playing with FinalCutPro-Iguazu Falls Travel Video

I went to visit my friend Ethan in Buenos Aires in December and he has been bugging me to share some of my videos of Iguazu Falls, which is northern Argentina.

Iguazu is incredible. The Falls are taller than Niagara Falls and twice as wide. They border Brazil and Argentina. We stayed on the Argentine side because we didn’t have a travel visa to go to Brazil. Someone told us Brazil does this to get us back for requiring them to have visas. Great-another nation that has something against us. Of course, that was before Obama-mania so…

Eleanor Roosevelt visited Iguazu at one time and was quoted as saying, “Poor Niagara”. Poor Niagara indeed.

My friend Ethan challenged me to edit and upload 3 video segments by tomorrow morning. So here is a short video of the falls. I’m learning FinalCut as I go. Tonight I was trying to remember how to do cross dissolves. It’s ridiculously easy once you find the button. As with all things.

Capitalize on Your Unique Strengths, Even The Ones that Have Nothing to do with Your Movie

Cake! This is from my friend Amy's wedding shower but you get the idea.

I like to plan and host parties. I also like to bake. If I can find the time, I try to think of shoot days as little parties. This is not intended to get in the way of the work at hand. I just like to create a feeling of an event, which is mostly about the way I deal with others.  Bring your cast and crew a treat, a small one-you don’t have a budget. For me, it usually mean bringing something freshly baked to set, something unique and/or delicious to serve with the meal,  or having some wine or beer for the end of the day. It doesn’t cost a lot and hopefully makes the cast and crew just a little bit happier.

Getting Titles For Your Film

If you’re really low on cash, don’t spend too much on titles. Obviously, you can type them out in any of the video editing programs.

One of the most brilliant film title sequences was in Napoleon Dynamite. I’m not sure how much they spent or whether those adorable titles were made before or after the movie was bought by Fox Searchlight. But it’s easy to duplicate. They used food items to spell out the names of the cast and crew. Figure out something that makes sense for your film and create something fun (and cheap!)

Where to Hold Auditions-Low Budge Style

You can hold auditions anywhere, really. I was one of the directors for a sitcom pilot a few years ago and the producer held the auditions at Starbucks in Times Square. He said the production had no money at all, he was broke, and actors might as well see that there was no money to be made in this production. They had to be there because they believed the sitcom had a chance of being picked up, or just wanted to be in it for the sheer joy of it. This particular Starbucks has an upstairs section which is looks like some people use for their office or conference room. It’s odd. Last time I was there someone was in the corner playing his cello, there were tons of group meetings and some normal patrons. I must admit that I was embarrassed I was part of these Starbucks auditions. There were 5 of us auditioning the actors and 2 at a time people would come over and sit down and perform a scene for us. They couldn’t talk too loudly and had to stay in their chair or pretty close to it. Shockingly, I was able to get a sense of who was right for the part.

Actors who audition a lot are used to being in strange places. Actors are often referred to as professional interviewers as they are constantly going to auditions. As an actor I auditioned in rehearsal studios, blackbox theaters, peoples’ living rooms, in the park, at schools. There’s some advice floating around to actors that they should be able to audition in a closet if they have to. They are expected to be able to audition anywhere. My advice is that if you have no money to pay anyone don’t hold the audition in a really fancy place. It sets the tone that you do have some money to spend and you’ve chosen to spend it on things other than actors. I think people want to know that if you had money, you would spend it on them. Along those same lines, if you live in a beautiful home and aren’t planning to spend any money on the production, you really shouldn’t hold auditions there. The message is that you have money but this production is not worth spending it. People want to know that you are completely invested.

I really wish I had a picture of those auditions at Starbucks. Where’s the strangest place you’ve ever held auditions?
