The new edition of Make Magazine came out yesterday and they always have an article on media making. I made the $14 steadicam a few months ago and it works great! This month, Michael W. Dean writes an article on mailbox movie-making.
Here’s how it works:
-Script a movie: The best format for mailbox movies are interview documentaries.
-Troll the internet for folks with dv cameras who are willing to go shoot your movie.
-Give them cameraperson releases for them to sign and actor’s releases for the actors.
-Spend a lot of time on the phone being clear about what you want.
Michael W. Dean also gives a good tip on microphones. He recommends the Audio-Technica ATR-35S lavalier mic which can be had for about $30 on ebay.
So who’s going to be the first video-blogger to step up and make a mailbox movie?
