start a production company

[bod]

why not get a group of people together and
make a small company. i think it would be mint to allow every one experience. i am preparing to buy full real time non linear editing package. anyone else feel the same

I feel the same way. Me and my friends just recently started our own team. After making a short movie or two we wanted to do something bigger. So we are. I am also saving up for a video capture card so I can edit vid's. Before, if we @*&$ed up, we had to reshoot the scene. Life is getting better.

My friends and I did exactly that when we set up Spare Time Films, for the purposes of shooting short films locally. After a bumpy start, we've now got our act together and have several projects in the pipeline.

what if you've got no mates with a serious enthusiasm for filmmaking? where does one find the people when stuck in Wales?

I too was faced with the same problem. I couldn't find anyone interested in the local area. I advertised on this very board and found someone not too far away. I then spotted someone else recently (ilpostino) and we're making progress already.

The other alternative is to try forming an internet-based group. This appears to be a trend at the moment (see robot wars and scrapheap challenge). Get a group together, go through pre-production via email and then get together to shoot.

Worth a thought.

Ditto, apart from the Wales part.

And me. Okay, so the mates are willing to jump about in front of camera, but thats all. No work, just play.

So, I guess step 1 is to find people you can really work WORK with. As well as play. And, for some reason, this always seems to happen at film school or university...

I want Anarchy Pictures to grow up and be a company
