Text Box: The Shooting Director If you appreciate all the advantages that an experienced, professional film-maker can bring to your production, but your budget precludes your use of traditional kit & crew, why not just throw your own camera at me shouting: “Go get me a film”. You’ll know that it’s the best way to avoid weeks of frustration in the edit suite trying to locate useable footage. Recognizing the worth of film craft like pre-editing before the shooting has even begun, of moving your camera to the right place at the right moment and of rapidly assessing which characters and narrative strands are driving your film - all mean you’ll value the reassurance brought by placing your film in experienced hands from the outset. In addition to experience and track record - take a look at some film-making philosophy I follow and which I believe is relevant for documentary film-makers today: Directing The Documentary - Michael Rabiger Digital Film-making - Mike Figgis Text Box: Now you can have the best of both worlds: Your film directed and shot economically and efficiently by the creative combination of your own Fig-Rigged Z1 operated by a director who knows what to film, when to film and where to film - yes it’s that easy and yet seemingly that difficult, as you may well know from you own case of the post-production blues. If you have a production whose success hangs on life’s key moments being captured in camera ‘by instinct’ – pick up the phone & let’s talk.
