girl4rmspace:I don't even know where to start sef... Anyway, I respect your decision. Chill for now and tell your friends to chill too. But don't be discouraged. (na one day pikin go walk). I keep saying that we will get there one day. The techniques involved in making a good movie is not a "classified top secret", it is available to the public, so why not? Just to mention sha, not all sci-fi movies require such a huge budget (it depends on the type of sci-fi story). Nigeria has had some attempts at sci-fi and movies with heavy visual effects in the past, although poorly made, the newer outcomes look a little bit promising. But just because no one has tried something is not reason enough not to try it. What happens to being a trend setter or pioneer? This topic should have been posted in [url="https://www.nairaland.com/tv-movies"]TV-MOVIES SECTION[/url] Come here and ask of me. Also; Check out these sci-fi related stuffs, if you have not seen them before. Tell me what you think. They were done by Nigerians (nairalanders). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSKwKJtezU0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zsGJfStcYs There are many more stuffs like these if you look around. I wish you and your friends goodluck. |

girl4rmspace:Where's the movie? Give us the sci-fi movie, girl4rmspace or risk being sent back to space. |

Haute: lol, i backed out of the deal . i saw reasons to believeThat sci fi genre wouldnt work in naija, maybe nollywood will improve in the future and be able to handle movies like these, but definitely not now. |

girl4rmspace:Haha! You could've accidentally given us comedy instead; you just dodged a bullet. But what's wrong with being a pioneer, uh? You're not lily-livered, are you? #joking |
Re: Guys I Want To Co-produce A Movie But There's A Problem by girl4rmspace(f): 12:02am On Aug 06, 2016 |
Haute: lol. When producers spends so much to make an expensive movie, its because they believe the movie has the potential to bring back huge profits at the box office. In naija, the cinema scene is nothing to write home about, nigerians would rather go see a foreign movie than a home made movie at the cinema. This means the chances of you making your money back is slim, talkless of making profit. You know we cant also depend on dvd sales because of the dreaded PIRACY. So its better to be safe than sorry. Especially since sci fi movies are VERY expensive to make. |

girl4rmspace: Personally, I don't watch Nollywood; because most it's movies are subpar (IMO). If Nollywood produced a quality movie, I'd defo watch it. Only problem - from a producer's standpoint - would be piracy. I know all about piracy 'cos I'm in a sister-industry. It'll take a miracle to stop piracy in Nigeria. Btw, have you ever worked on a music video? |
Re: Guys I Want To Co-produce A Movie But There's A Problem by girl4rmspace(f): 10:46pm On Aug 06, 2016 |
Haute: no, i dont do music videos |
Re: Guys I Want To Co-produce A Movie But There's A Problem by Nobody: 12:08am On Aug 07, 2016 |
girl4rmspace: Oh okay. So what do plan to work on next? We need quality movies from nollywood. Do something, please. The movies I see on TV are very annoying. |

Correction dear, Naija has the tech to pull off the sci Fi movie but naija does not have the budget to pull off the sci Fi movie. A good reason why most of our CGI are not good is because of budget. Truthfully speaking, you cannot buy a range Rover sport at the cost of a Toyota Camry tiny light. |
Re: Guys I Want To Co-produce A Movie But There's A Problem by girl4rmspace(f): 12:39pm On Aug 07, 2016 |
Haute: when i get an amazing script, i will. The ones am getting now are cliche and uninspiring. I loved that sci fi script, which is why i wanted to get involved with it, but nollywood cant handle that kinda movie right now. |

girl4rmspace: Making a movie involves so many things like you know...there's the tech, the infrastructure, the finance, the patience and the marketing. The tech, even for a sci-fi movie, is there: the talents (CGI, makeup&what have you are there), the gadgets can be easily sourced, provided the finance is available. The marketing to make it a success at the box office, is also readily available here and I'm not talking you usual nollywood kinda marketing. What is not available: the finance, the patience (you want a movie that would command box office sales worldwide, you can't rush it) and most importantly, the infrastructure (we don't have the kinda studio to handle the production, and we don't have actors that, for now, can pull it off and invest the necessary commitment to it). So even if your production crew are going to be predominantly Nigerians, 90% of your movie would be done outside Nigeria because of the lack of infrastructure ergo: Hollywood still is the best bet and 'breaking' into Hollywood is not as difficult as you think...if the script is as fantastic as you have painted it to be. |

girl4rmspace: If you need a creative mind for the SCI-FI move ( only ) i'll like to join your team... I can do from adding scientific undertone to the write up without making it geeky, and could review the script, bring ideas and make it a world class stuff... It's worth trying, why keep it locked up in a cupboard? |
Re: Guys I Want To Co-produce A Movie But There's A Problem by Nobody: 4:42pm On Jul 19, 2017 |
girl4rmspace: oops..yu backed out...Okay |
Re: Guys I Want To Co-produce A Movie But There's A Problem by girl4rmspace(f): 4:53pm On Jul 19, 2017 |
connectpoint: Yeah had to. The funds required for decent cgi is huge and even if we go ahead, there's no guarantee the movie might recoup it's production cost. There's a reason why barely any producer in naija attempted the genre |
Re: Guys I Want To Co-produce A Movie But There's A Problem by Nobody: 4:57pm On Jul 19, 2017 |
girl4rmspace: CGI is like shooting a rocket to Jupiter...But i've always had a thingy for SCI-FI and must produce at least 7 b4 the call comes...but i got an idea from yours...a reduced scenery SCI-FI movie..what do i mean? if the story line/script is scientific, the movie may blast without too much scientific sceneries, what matters is the story....yu dig? |
Re: Guys I Want To Co-produce A Movie But There's A Problem by girl4rmspace(f): 5:07pm On Jul 19, 2017 |
connectpoint: Yeah I get it...but that particular script was full blown Sci fi world which is why it was impossible Anyway am over that now. So you write scripts ? |
Re: Guys I Want To Co-produce A Movie But There's A Problem by Nobody: 5:09pm On Jul 19, 2017 |
girl4rmspace: In my mind...I talk it...the hustle makes it pretty difficult to sit and write from scratch...anyway i'm pro-SCi-Fi... being a scientist myself...so it's sumthin that comes with the territory naturally.. |
Re: Guys I Want To Co-produce A Movie But There's A Problem by Nobody: 5:10pm On Jul 19, 2017 |
The list of ideas are endless and make not require as huge budget as you think..more so, if a fab idea is generated, sponsors can come in somewhere... You know it took over seven years to write Naruto |

Re: Guys I Want To Co-produce A Movie But There's A Problem by Nobody: 5:20pm On Jul 19, 2017 |
girl4rmspace: Me...I'm a walking lab...Anytime..I'm always red-hot...If anything drops near, holla at me..I used to have a team of animators...but greed won't allow Nigerians at times work together... |
Re: Guys I Want To Co-produce A Movie But There's A Problem by Nobody: 5:25pm On Jul 19, 2017 |
girl4rmspace: With 3-5M, a medium budget sci-fi movie can be produced... |
Re: Guys I Want To Co-produce A Movie But There's A Problem by girl4rmspace(f): 5:32pm On Jul 19, 2017 |
connectpoint: Lmao you clearly haven't been on set or know much about movie production to think that amount could make a decent Sci fi movie. Heck I know non Sci fi movies that are more expensive than that I would easily produce a Sci fi movie myself if all I had to spend was less than 4 million |
Re: Guys I Want To Co-produce A Movie But There's A Problem by Nobody: 5:35pm On Jul 19, 2017 |
girl4rmspace: I'm a stunch biz guy, so i can relate.. but Lol.. Ofcourse it would cost 10m...I know what i'm talking about...It's systemic rather than a financial spreadsheet...what the young animators do now is to own into the project...( This pushes it down to a bearable amount ), you think when Linda Ikeji started she was paying them guys at the beginning? I could tell you officially Linda has 25 guys sleeping in her apartment day in day out...till they pushed it to work..Many young animators join/seek teams to join push in their effort, and when the dividends comes out, they'll split... done this, done that.. so I know.. |
Re: Guys I Want To Co-produce A Movie But There's A Problem by girl4rmspace(f): 5:39pm On Jul 19, 2017 |
connectpoint: You are saying this because you have no idea what the script is all about. If you did, you would understand why it's impossible to do here without massive funds |
Re: Guys I Want To Co-produce A Movie But There's A Problem by Nobody: 5:44pm On Jul 19, 2017 |
girl4rmspace: Okay I can relate...But i wasn't talking about your script per se... I was talking about scenes with limited SCI-FI technicalities.. Pardon me, what field of Science was d script about..hint me...Have you watched Blindspot ? What do you make of it? Or Numbers? They are Sci-Fi that could have been done here..build the central theme and then revolve the episodes around it, though SCI-FI, the language and scenes Okays it as SCI-FI but without excessive complexity..when the first few episodes blast, it attracts big names...big things must start small my lady.. |
Re: Guys I Want To Co-produce A Movie But There's A Problem by girl4rmspace(f): 5:49pm On Jul 19, 2017 |
connectpoint: Lol this guy. Let's leave the matter abeg |
Re: Guys I Want To Co-produce A Movie But There's A Problem by Nobody: 5:50pm On Jul 19, 2017 |
girl4rmspace: Okay... but nice to see a female..sci-fi oriented..will keep an eye out.. |
