I Am Sick And Tired Of Nigerian Movie: We Definately Need "foreign Video Cameras"

Their colour sulks

Believe me, cameras are the least of their problems

@post
i keep enduring, to see if there would be any sort of improvement, but. NOWAY.
d one dat gets to me is the part were onlookers keep watching sheepishly @ d cameras.sometimes they even pack them one side so that d can go ahead with the shooting.all the while showing the ugly and embarrasing setting of the packed onlookers.
talk less of the names they brand movies. I just crashed into one today called, "My Private Part".lol. imagine!!
9ja  get dem own wahala, God knows

let them start with the easy ones first, good scripts from educated and seasoned script writes,professional directors and not half baked alaba market boys turned directors and producers, if you have the most expensive cameras and the storylines,directing are wack then all you ll get is a rubbish movie with good visuals

True. . . .the ones I've seen lately are very entertaining, so i really cant complain!!

As an insider, i must say that there are so many things that come into play in a typical 9ja movie and I'll just try to mention a handfull.

1. Hollywood uses 35mm Cameras (Celluloid) while Nollywood uses DVCAMS (tapes). The pictures can never be the same. The earlier is very expensive, infact there is no processing lab in the whole of the country for celluloid. There used to be one in jos operated by a government agency (Nigerian Film corporation) but  it goes without saying that such a facility can only be maintained properly when run by a non-govt owned establishment.

2. We do what i call mercantile drama. Movies just for the money which unfortunately pays attention only to the stars in the movie and not the content such as storyline, plot, directorial style etc, etc. The financiers are after their proceeds.

3. Moviemaking is a team effort. Having said this a tree cant make a forest, so you realised that some key areas in a movie are not handled well which leads to poor quality. There are many untrained personnel who have no plans to undergo training.

4. Low budgets. A movie shoot is schedule to last for maybe 7 days and even when there are kids crying in the house of maybe a couple who are supposed to be barren in the movie, nothing much can be done about it.

5. Bad orientation and attitude.
I believe that nothing good comes easy. Alot of people don't want to pay the price to get out a good job.

Nevertheless, there are still good movies in the midst of the whole pack,  Check out Desmond Elliot's RELOADED,

TO BE CONTINUED!! WATCH OUT FOR PART 2,  TO GOD BE THE GLORY, 
LOL

It really sulks!

Yes exactly. And we need actors to actually step up and act; stop relying on your so called "good looks" and get your acting chops together.  We would also appreciate better movie names  .We will get there soon don't worry.

not all i watched  "letter to a stranger" recently and the sound, colour was very good

Tee hee hee, Let' start with a good script.

Its not the foriegn cameras? What do u mean by foriegn camera? Nigeria doesnt make Camera's. What is needed here in Nollywood is Cinema laguage on screen laguage. Visual sense. Lighting. Painting with light. Worship light, Adore it, appreciate it and steal it when you can. You will have all the great visuals everyone is talking about hollywood and bollywood. Lighting and Framing the camera makes the difference guys. Even when you make a film with your phone camera. I am an Indian filmmaker i like tunde kilani's work. He lights up well and there is quality. So its not the "Foriegn Cameras " which makes the difference

Nollywood is already HD. You guys are shooting 1080i. But whats the use the filmmakers are compressing them to Dv to burn Dvds and sell. If you release the fillms on screen at silverbird or genesis then people can bring in Viper or Red to shoot 2k and 4k resolution cameras,

In addition to picture quality and unnecessary background noise, the way they split the films into 2 or 3 parts is digusting. The consequence of this  is unnecessary scenes like a ramsey noah driving sequence running for over 1 min 30secs. Terrible
