I can't stress the DP part--shooting my movies and trying to direct was always disastrous.

My pleasure, Alex. You produced your own mini-film school, and that's great! We should get you in to speak at the film school I work at again.

To Alex and BROKEN crew-
I recieved my DVD in just about a week after ordering. Great job! I loved the DVD extras, I have already implemented a few ideas for my upcoming production.

A couple of quick questions for ya:
How long was your production process, specificly from the time script was completed to the last minute editing right before your trip to Sundance?

Also, how long was your preproduction time (rehersals and test shooting/editing)?

Thanks for all the inspiration and advice!

Alex,

I was wondering, how much was your actual total budget and how did it break down? Also, did you factor in the costs of cameras, tripods and mounts, and lighting rigs into the budget?

Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that my new animated short film "Red Princess Blues Animated: The Book of Violence is available online to watch for free at: http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fusea...deoid=30680335
