What You Will Learn?
- Filmmaking solo does not mean you have to degrade the quality of your film! .
- While working on a crew does bring a beautiful spirit of collaboration, filming as a one-person band also comes with its benefits. These advantages include: .
- 1) You have less costs.
- 2) You work more freely.
- 3) You have a lighter footprint, so subjects aren't as self-conscious..
- 4) You don't draw as much attention to yourself, which gives more access to closed worlds..
- 5) You can be more spontaneous..
- 6) You can make more films, which opens more doors. .
- In fact, I've shot most of films as a solo-woman band, and the most frequent comment I receive at film festivals is: "I thought you had a whole crew!" .
- After filming solo several countries, I’ve developed many hacks to wear multiple hats at once and make high quality films. I’m so excited to share these 7 techniques in this course so you can make high production value films as a one-person band. .
