Casting call for a short film I'm making
Boro_Bandito:
Mini DV's don't cost 3.50 a piece, you can buy a pack of six for under 10 bucks. Say you buy three packs equaling up to 18 1 hour DV tapes and that's more than enough footage for your part of the film, that cuts out over 50 bucks right there. And while I'm not particularly interested in this, There is a difference between filming a bunch of random stuff and editing it to look good. If he supplied the money and then went through, cut away and edited all of the raw footage and then setting it to music or adding sound effects or whatever he would be doing his fair share of the work, especially if he also used himself as one of the people. Then he'd fully have the right to call himself producer/editor, as well as one of the actors/cameramen.

Wow. That's insane, but I don't know quite what the exchange rate is in comparison of the US to Norway so I don't know exacty what the difference is. I just buy them from Best Buy down the road.
Edit: Strike that, found a receipt, they were 16 bucks.

Sure, if you are cool with the shitty tapes. Which may actually be fine for this purpose, but for any footage I actually cared about I'd want better tape than a random six pack of consumer grade tape from a random store.
For the record, dv tapes from the supermarket are not recommended by professional filmmakers.
As for the rest of his post, good point about the work of editing.

Actually, I shoot on Hi-8.
