@@PARANORMALTV-hu7oc hi there! Thanks for watching! I’ve never had anyone request an EPK as a video file. This is a bit odd because the point of the EPK is to give film festivals behind the scenes photos, bios of the cast and crew, and synopsis for the film. I suppose you could include a link to download it in the description of your video, but I’d also clarify with them on what exactly they are looking for. Perhaps what they mean is a behind the scenes video? I usually email the EPK directly to festivals or whoever needs it.

@@Film_It_Yourself Thanks! That's what I was thinking. Perhaps she was thinking we were going to do a behind the scenes thing, but I'm not going that direction. I appreciate your guidance. I've already found one epk template on studio binder but if you have one you'd rec, please link me to it. I look forward to seeing your future content.

Thank you so much!

Oh that’s a good question. I’d assume to fill out contracts through SAG you’d need to be 18 years old or older as it is a legal document.

@@Film_It_Yourself could I possibly get an older relative to do it? Maybe include an adult relative as a producer or something?

That’s definitely a good idea and would probably work. However I’d ask yourself if you really need to hire SAG actors? Perhaps your production could be non-union and you could just hire actors that aren’t in the SAG union. If you plan to cast through a casting site or casting director, you’d just need to specify that you want non-union actors. There’s plenty out there that aren’t in SAG. 😊

@Film_It_Yourself And im totally on board to get non union actors onto the project, the only reason why I do want to maybe use SAG is that I have a pretty great opportunity to get a huge hollywood star cameo into the short film. Regardless, thank you so much for your help!

@@iambathman9916 oh wow congrats! Good luck!

Thank you!

Thank you! Been hard to get videos out while doing a full time directing gig but I am still shooting them! Just gotta get to editing them. 😅

Wow! Congrats! That’s a lot!!

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

Awesome! Happy to help!

Glad it was helpful!

That is awesome! Thanks so much for watching and best of luck with your films!

Thanks!

Hi there! There’s lots of places you could find a producer. Going to film festivals would be a good start. Also checking out online communities on social media is great. Facebook has a lot of groups. Joining a group such as Women In Film or Blackmagic Collective could also help. Just general networking is pretty much the way to go. Watch people’s films and if there’s a producer you like reach out to them via IMDb Pro.

Thanks for the info!

Hi there! What exactly do you mean by paying for footages? Do you mean buying stock video from a stock video site? Or paying someone else to shoot footage for you?

@@Film_It_Yourself I mean Licensing footages from media's like NBC, ABC, ET etc. Cause my documentary will be licensed from these media's. So do I have to do like financing etc?

@@Film_It_Yourself I mean do you use film grants to license footages from media's? Cause when I'm cresting a production company and do documentary I'm gonna license videos from ET, CBS etc.

@@eph_loves_80s74 each grant will specify what you can use the money for but if you’re making a documentary and your getting funds for post production then yes, that’s pretty standard for documentaries.

@@Film_It_Yourself Ah so does it granting work for Licensing from ET etc?

Oh I haven’t heard of that one. I’ll check it out!

Hi!

Hi! Sorry for the delay. Where are the two extra docs? It’s been a while since I made this video. You really just need them to sign a deal memo and a personal release. UNLESS they are SAG. Then you need to also do SAG paperwork. You only need to provide meals if they are SAG. If they are then you need to provide a meal break within the first 6 hours starting from their call time. SAG’s website will have a lot more details on that.

Glad it was helpful!

You're welcome 😊

Hi there! Do you mean like camera movement?

Hi! It’s called ParaNorman.

You're welcome! Happy to help!

Thanks for watching! 😊

Oh that’s amazing! Thanks for watching!

Correct! You got it!

Haha yep pretty much.

Sorry not sure I know what you mean. Can you explain?

Great question! “Sound” means Mono or Stereo. So basically it’s just wanting how you’re recording the sound. Mono is one mic, Stereo would be two. Most likely you’re doing mono. You can also include info like lav mic or boom mic if your editor would find that helpful. “prod. Co” is the name of your production company. Hope that helps! 😊

@@Film_It_Yourself thank you!

@@DeceasedFlesh no problem! 😊

What do I put for "roll" if I shot my film on a phone?

Good question. You could really use this space for whatever info you want to capture. Perhaps scene number or anything else.

Hi there! Great question. Most video editing programs can do the simple person of this. I used Premiere Pro. However when you have characters crossing in front of other characters then you’ll need to do some rotoscoping in programs like After Effects. Hope that helps!

No prob! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! And wow that sounds like fun!

Thanks for sharing! I say never give up and keep making stuff. It’s so easy to do with phones now a days too so you can keep the budget low.

Hi there! Thanks for watching and so glad you’re enjoying my videos. 😊 A creative supervisor establishes the creative vision for the production in order to deliver a visually impactful story. Hope that helps!

Oh cool! Thanks for the tip!

No prob! Thanks for watching and best of luck with your submitting!

Hi thanks for watching and reaching out! Unfortunately no I’m not but there are companies that do like Festival Formula.

Hi there! Great question! Any seasoned festival screener will be able to tell if your film doesn’t have the finishing touches like a audio mix or color correction. Those are usually the things that make a rough cut obvious. Timing in the video editing can also be a tell. Some festivals accept rough cuts or works in progress however, and usually just require that you disclose that it is one when you submit. Other festivals do not accept works in progress and if you submit you will automatically be rejected. Hope that helps!

@@Film_It_Yourself ohky,yes you clarified me thanks much.

Great questions and thanks for watching! Totally fine to submit the minimum. The general rule of thumb is the shorter the better as it’s easier for festival programmers to fit your film in. For background sound, if it fits your scene keep it in. If it’s distracting take it out. For AI use, most film festivals will probably ask you to just disclose that you used AI and specify where it is in the film. Hope that helps!

@@Film_It_Yourself alright, I'm just not sure if tiktok special effects are regarded as AI generated.

I’m not really sure either but you’d also want to look into if you can even use those effects off platform on your film. Their terms of use might restrict the licensing to the platform only.

@@Met9171 yeah sorry I’m not either!
