Filmmaking / Directing : Feeling Lost in Pre-Production? by Gabe Reyes

Are you super excited to start filming your film/project and unsure of where to start in pre-production? Well that's not that uncommon, and the guys at NoFilmSchool and FilmCourage have readily compiled a Pre-Production CheckList that may make planning your film easier. http://nofilmschool.com/2015/12/heres-pre-production-checklist-might-mak... Pre-production is extremely important when trying to make your filming process as smooth and problem-free as possible. The checklist goes as follows, Casting your Actors Locking the Script Scouting Locations Finalize your Budget Hiring your Crew Set Up Vendors for Equipment Rent your Gear Do a Tech Scout Do a Table Read These steps take a lot of time to complete but are essential to start filming, and with due diligence thoroughly completing these steps can save you a lot of time and money. Hope you guys find something about this helpful, I sure did. Thanks for checking out the checklist, I'm currently in the final-draft stages of a Web Series I'm working on and Pre-Production is coming up pretty fast- with that being said, any tips or stories that may be helpful to a first-time web series creator as far as pre-production goes? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!
