I'm shooting a feature on a hv30, funding it out of my own pocket (I'm writer, producer, director, cameraperson, editor, props, location scout etc etc...). I would be mre interested to know what story I am investing in, don't care what you shoot it on. Shooting it on an iphone seems like a gimmick if you still need 12k.

If this turns out half as great as it sounds, there will be ridiculous press surrounding it. Steve Jobs might even give you a kiss. Cant wait to see what you all come up with. Good luck Deltree!

They need that funding. Coach,

I've seen people make feature films for less than $3,000 that look great. and I'm talking about a feature that was shot on a real camera. THIS IS AN IPHONE!!! come on... do you really need a huge production budget for this? just go out and shoot it and edit it if you are that committed. Sorry but it seems kinda ridiculous to ask people to help fund a movie shot on a phone. haha. There's my 2 cents contributed I don’t understand why you need a what is it… $12,000 budget for this.

Quality can be considered the basis of what we see and think, the moment just before we intellectually evaluate a work of art, the moment right before a tree becomes a "tree." It's the initial instinct for something that represents Quality, taking the time to evaluate it is always good, but to really appreciate what surrounds us we should more often than not go "with our instincts," which is something all businesses need to keep in mind as they produce work.
