How to Make a Great Crowdfunding Video That People Will Actually Watch Emily Best, founder and CEO of Seed&Spark, an alternative crowdfunding platform to Kickstarter and Indiegogo with a decidedly different approach, has some words of wisdom about how to make the best crowdfunding video possible and avoid the mistakes so many people make (thanks to Film Courage for another fantastic interview): Of course there is no right way to do a crowdfunding video, but by following some of Emily's tips above, you're going to be starting on a much better foot. We've seen plenty of crowdfunding videos here at NFS, and there is no question that "show/don't tell" is a much, much better approach than just talking to the camera. By making the video more interesting and including plenty of material that shows what you are trying to produce, you're going to have a better chance of getting strangers to contribute. The other big thing is to keep the length reasonable.

How to enhance YouTube video embedding and SEO on WordPress and other platforms The Realities of Producing a $1 Million (and Below) Feature Film Say hello to shrinking budgets & rising expected production values. At Buffalo 8 Productions, we’ve produced over 30 feature films ranging from $100,000 budgets to $8M budgets with the average project settling around $1M. This is a guest post by Matthew Helderman of Buffalo8 and BondIt. We’ve seen budgets shrink, projects come & go and expectations shattered or met with disappointment during the process. Through our experiences we’ve gathered and built a manifesto for the do’s & don’ts of making low budget projects. We’ve even written a full 50 page eBook on the subject that has provided insight for the indie community (linked here). All in all — we broke it down into three key successful elements: Overhead — figuring out the right equity, debt, pre-sales structure will make or break any project. Producing a film successfully depends on a great story, a great team and a strong execution — the following outline breaks down these necessities.

blubbr - Play & create video trivia games EventDV.net: The Event Videographer's Resource Passion Pays Off In the March 2010 issue I wrote an article called Recapturing My Roots as a Filmmaker: An Open Letter to the Industry about my decision to pursue the production of cause-driven and inspirational films as the core of my business. Since I decided to focus on this kind of work, I’m happy to report that except for one wedding and four photographer promos, every project I produced in 2010 fit into one of the three categories: inspirational, cause-driven, or nonprofit organization. A few were done pro bono, but I wouldn’t still be in business if they all were. As I wrote in that last article, nonprofit doesn’t mean nonpaid. In fact, a few of the projects we produced were five-figure deals. For a small, home-based business such as ours that focuses on serving nonprofits and worthy causes, that’s not bad. Picking Your ‘Hill’ So now that you’re caught up on the background of my decision to pursue this kind of work, here’s how it connects to this project.

Creating interactive video from the Course Articulate Storyline Advanced Techniques People dig videos, and people dig interaction. Put those two together, and you usually get a pretty engaging piece of e-learning. In the product section of this course, I have a short video clip that demonstrates the end of the installation process of a solar panel. Let's preview this. So first we'll want to play our video and insert cue points where the marker should come on and off that is when you installer is tightening the lower outer panel. Cue points can be really handy reference markers. So, the step in the process begins right about there, so, that's where that marker will come in, and then, it will go off. We'll come down here to outer panel. We'll select Okay. For example, you could have the learner click on a button on screen when a mistake is being made or perhaps when a best practice is being demonstrated.

Manage Your Crew, Script, & Schedule All in One Place (Save 25% with Exclusive NFS Code) Managing a production takes Herculean effort in order to collaborate efficiently. If you're looking for a streamlined way to organize data and rally your crew, Production Minds may have the cloud-based platform you're looking for. It's definitely a pain in the neck to bounce around between different programs to manage all of the information and data that comes into play during production. Maybe you'll keep all of your contacts in your phone, input location info in Excel, edit the screenplay in Final Draft, and refer to iCal for scheduling -- all the while communicating with your team through whichever email service you decide to use. It's exhausting -- and it's inefficient. Production Minds have developed a platform called PMP (Production Minds Platform) that is designed to allow you to manage all of your pre-production business in one place through the cloud, as well as communicate and collaborate with your team in a more effective way.
