1. Do the Budget Yourself
On small indie projects, everyone in the crew usually ends up wearing a variety of hats. Of the various roles I took on, the one that I found to be particularly instructive was that of the Unit Production Manager; that crew member who – among other things – writes up the budget.

EOSHD’s top 5 cameras of 2012 | Andrew Reid | EOSHD
Not sure what the criteria was for this list, other than that the camera use a lens...

Featured Filmmaker ~ Isaac Broyden | Zacuto
Short interview with a 14-year old filmmaker:
I have always been interested in movies, particularly stunts in movies because my Dad, Jimmy Broyden, is a veteran Canadian stuntman and stunt coordinator of 20 years.
