good indiegogo site

Summary We are RAAR! Films and we are dedicated to the production of cinematic entertainment. What makes us unique is our team of enthusiastic creatives that are brand new to the industry and dedicated to supporting other new and young talent in independent film production. We are always looking to get more people involved, raise the quality of our productions and to make films that everyone involved is truly proud to be a part of, wanting to come back for more. Myself and the RAAR! team are really excited about this short. It is a brilliant script (written by Kubrick award-winning filmmaker Katie Hogan) with such potential both narratively and visually. We really believe that the majority of people out there (unless you don't like zombies for whatever strange reason) will really love seeing this come to life. We have a superb actress to take the lead in this short and so the funding is really the last thing we need to make this possible. We have everything organised for this short we just needs the funds to pay for transport, renting equipment and props! Nobody will be paid with the money raised, it will go straight into the production of the short. By helping us to make this short happen you are not only creating a great film with lots of gore and awesome eery visuals, but also helping us on the way to make our feature film which this short is based upon. We will be using this short along with the previous one seen in our video to gain funding for the feature, so this is the one way we can really show potential investors what we can all make happen together! What We Need & What You Get Finally, years of helping my dad out with his accounts has paid off! The budget covers everything we need and nothing more. No pay, no excess. This covers: Transport for crew and main cast Food to keep the crew and cast alive Hiring of filming equipment Props such as feathers to make a fake pigeon for a zombie to munch on (yes we will be making it ourselves so it's very cheap!) and renting a car for the day Costume - One set of pyjamas a character will be wearing Make-up supplies - to turn people into zombies! and to make fake guts and blood for the background. What do you get? We've tried to accomodate for all budgets, to get people involved as much as possible in the project while getting everyone excited and obtaining unique rewards. For example if you donate $100 we will pop you in the post a unique 'Flamingo Close' art card drawn for you by a local talented artist. If we don't reach our target of $1500 you get all of your donations back. As I said before the budget is spot on so we really can't do it for any less so it would be unfair on us, the film and moreover you if we took your money for and made a sub-par film. There's simply just no point! The Impact This project will give you something absolutely unique! It is crucial for us as filmmakers, as this short could be the factor which could get us feature funding for 'Flamingo Close', the feature. So not only will you be a part of this project but you'll be part of a bigger project all together. Everyone who donates this project will get a thankyou on the feature credits when it gets funded. You may be wondering who you're putting your faith and money to. So here's a bit about the team that is RAAR! Films: Emily Attwood (Myself) - Director, Writer, Editor, Producer and Founder of RAAR! Films I am an award winning filmmaker. The first short which you can see at the end of our video above was written and directed by myself and this short will have a very similar feel to this one but on a larger scale. Expect more gore and an even more striking atmosphere! Tom Butler - DoP, Editor, Producer and Founder of RAAR! Films Kubrick Award-nominated director of photography. He will be in charge of making the film look pretty, and is simply the best person at lighting I have ever met. Dare Emmanuel - Actor, Writer, Producer and Founder of RAAR! Films Dare is the writer of the feature, 'Flamingo Close', which this short and the one you can see above at the end of our video is based upon. He is multi-talented and also is one of the main cast of the feature and the second short we made which we will upload for you soon! David Wright - Production Manager Without Dave we would have had close to no zombies on our first short. He is the one who keeps us creatives on track timewise and every other wise. You'll always hear him on shoots going 'guys TIME! 20 minutes 'til lunch' when we're getting too distracted by zombies. Katie Hogan - Writer, Fox, Assistant Director / PA Having won the Kubrick Award at Vision's Festival 2012 for her film 'Space Detective' we had to have her on our crew. She is the writer of this short and will be co-directing with myself as it is half her baby! Alexander Campbell - Camera Op Though Alex is still at University he shows an extraordinary skill in filmmaking. He also has lots of filming equipment we are able to use to save money on our budget. We will be filming on his Canon 5D. Other Ways You Can Help We at RAAR! understand how tight money can be hence us asking for help with our film. Donating isn't the only way you can help. Please help to spread the word about our short 'Flamingo Close'. You can help particularly by sharing our indiegogo page as other people you know might have some spare dosh lying around just waiting to fund some zombie amazingness! You can either copy and paste this page url or use the indiegogo sharing tools! Thank you all so much in whatever way you're contributing to the success and helping us in being able to make this short!

how I want to edit video.

So i really enjoyed the way that the shots were made, the colors were fantastic, the scene with Arajamaen and The Prince of Mischief went very well, i especially like when Neyssan kissed me, that was great- very natural. The colors were empty-flat almost, but the snow was brilliant- the shot of Neyssan by himself was amazing! He looked like a Grecian God, it was exactly what I was going for. Then i liked my performance, a little over the top in some things, but in some scenes it was magnificent, i look interesting on camera, like you could do a lot with me. Then the shots with Parran and Dabou were great, calmer-more colors like gels, scary- something very fun to work with. I want it to be like a collage, and it can be 15 minutes, I can write a very scary story and put those two together.Plus we will be shooting tomorrow anyway. That is two more scenes with Arajamaen and Her child and then Parran and Dabou speaking together. It was good they didn't know their lines , it made it a lot more cohesive.A story within a story.

I like the lighting from above. get a fucking whiteboard. three sides. like a U or V. filming people's emotion to what is being said than them saying it.reaction shots.the law of threes. foreground mid ground background.shooting from the front. breaking forth wall. shots of unmoving things while action happens.

I met this guy at a house party on New Year's Eve. He was great energy and I swear til this day he had a scottish accent but I do not think he does really. He is also an amazing actor and I love his work. I cannot wait until he plays the Devil for my Sucre short. I want to make him famous.
