So I have been interested in making mini movies ever since i was a kid, I have a couple more videos that are not on vimeo but they are not of Beautious quality, so you…my fans…will never see them. One is a spanish soap opera I did with a regular mini cassette camcorder and slapping and name calling is critical to the plotline. I also worked on a sequel that involved using Silly string as an I.V. for the woman who was put into a coma in the first iteration. I was only 13 at the time. All the editing was done using two VCRS and dominating the use of pause, play and record.
I bought a book to learn more about sreenwriting, producing, lighting and directing. I just started so hopefully as time goes by, it can be noticed in the quality of my movies. The book is 30$ film school. The book seems interesting so far.
As for the green screen, I got it on eBay by searching for “Chroma Key” and then its just a matter of looking through results. I also got the microphone there. I got the HD camera at Target for $159.99 and everywhere else it was 180 dollars.
I think in the near future i may invest in at least 2 more lights since the green screen is extremely tedious and if you have one section darker than the other and some of the green leaks out in the chroma key filter.
