bobestman:

Minimum or lets say the average is 10k, common for ministries and parastatals, some private firms pays more...Mine pays 15k, i have a friend that collects 25k.. Its luck and some ppa will owe you like 6months

Realtol:
I don't think you will find a useful tips here... do yourself a favour by working to any good university in the South West of Nigeria if you are currently in Nigeria and go to the faculty of Arts and Yoruba department meet with lecturers or Final year students they will surely be of help to you. Anyway, that's if you are serious about your expedition and mean business but if you are not you don't need to do that. My opinion though

thanks...I live at the northern part of the country though but i will see to that.

Please, how does a Yoruba script looks like. I am thinking on working on a project and I will love it to be in Yoruba....will the Scene Heading, Action, Parenthetical, Transition all be writing in Yoruba...I don't mind excerpts from old scripts.

Like this one. When referring to a girl Give her her book; but for a guy give him his book, while not give him him book, or give they they book, or give them them book........ English is an Enigma..

Seriously...English is crazy...The white men are just directing us as they like and we keep following them.

My phone Nokia Lumia 530 usually restarts itself almost every 30minutes and before it does so...The profile changes to flight mode. What could be wrong?

I'll begin with a MOUSE, and two are called MICE. But the plural of HOUSE is HOUSES and not HICE. You may keep your things in a BOX and I might keep mine in three BOXES. Yet the plural of an OX is OXEN and not OXES. If the plural of a GOOSE is called GEESE, wouldn't the plural of CHOOSE then be CHEESE?.
Let's look at a MAN, two of them MEN but the plural of a PAN is not the same as PEN. You may show me your FOOT and wear shoe on your FEET. If I give you a BOOT, will a pair be called BEET?. One may be THAT and a dozen may be THOSE, But the plural of HAT...Imagine it being HOSE.
A person who BAKES is known as a BAKER but a person who COOKS can never be a COOKER. Worlds like HONEST and HOUR both have a silent "H" Imagine saying HOOK and HOOD without the sound "H". Don't you agree that English Language is indeed the Trickiest language.

When NYSC asked you to explain why disciplinary action should not be taking against you for missing headcount....#NYSC ABUJA....I hail.

brownice1:

brownice1:

FieryFilm:
What then are you waiting for?

Hmmm, is it going to be easy like that to start?. Morealso, i am still a serving corp member, perhaps after the service year

nwarosa:
Hi Macdove02,

You are right. There's always something to learn.

By the way, what was your role on Oct 1 production?

Not a role though...Was with a brother on the location..He helped them scouting for locations and I was extra on some scenes.

oya na...episode three

TheDauraMallam:
Please go ahead and shoot your 200 million naira movie. October 1 is an example.

Thanks. What am I doing here self?

Mr, you are taking this personal..Guy claimed he shot a movie with 400k plus...All I asked for is the title so I can see it. I may learn one thing or the other.

Abdgafarplenty:
Malhotra nd Kajol Dev Gan with Kareena kapoor in

We Are Family.

As in...this is what i have been waiting to see

naza9ja:
The person that shot a feature film with 425k should show us the movie let's see the quality of the production.

Abi

TheFilmmaker:
I wasn't the one that made the comment.

All I'm saying is, if you know your onions well enough, you can shoot a film with 200,000 Naira.

That's the point. Expensive films doesn't mean quality. Unless you're being sponsored by a studio or you're just super rich, it's tantamount to waste, if you don't make money back.

Even Hollywood movies flop.

47 Ronin was shot on a 250 million dollar budget, but only earned about 67 million back. As a beginner filmerker you really don't want to go that route.

Oh, actually thought you were the one....Anyways, Nice talking with you.

TheFilmmaker:
I just showed you a Bentley advert shot with iPhone 5s and yet you're asking me to upload A full movie shot with 400,000 budget?

No comment

I thought u said you actually shot a movie with that budget..I just wish to see it.

TheDauraMallam:
All actors get different prices. I'm sure you know that. And there is no way you would use Fine Akindele as a 15 year old girl...if that's what your story wants.

The thing is, it's the story that determines budget.

Not otherwise. So that's the difference between Paranormal Activity (15K) and Furious 7 (190 million)

You get it now?

That's film business 101 for you. If Kunle shot October 1st for 2 million dollars as he said, then Titanic or Furious 7 was probably shot with 1 billion dollars.

For perspective, you should see Paranormal Activity first. It's on youtube.

I understand you bro.. I even heard of a movie shot with zero budget like they say "Ojuju" and from the buzz and awards I think it's going to be great..That Kunle own Na lie sha...But i so much believe if one need to make a good movie, except you have the stuffs at your disposal like you do... then 400k can't do anything.

TheFilmmaker:
Ok, so what if the script was written by me, I have cameras, I have a clique I 'normally' work with, I have an editing suite, and my story doesn't involve complicated props or elaborate setups eg shooting inside a plane or car crashes...


Ehen...oya answer me

The only issue is if I want to add unnecessary effizies by using cranes and drones or if I decide to shoot with super expensive cameras.

Most camera phones now shoot full HD. So what's the point?

Costume is almost free. Unless you're shooting a period drama (which is not feasible if budget is not on your side)

So...


And oh, before you go on the camera quality tangent, here is a Bentley advert, shot on the iPhone 5s

Almost all Nigerian telecom ads use the most expensive film camera available. Compare and contrast.

You just said it all...You almost have everything you should be paying for...If you are to hire cameras, and pay for those stuffs, then you know why 400k won't be enough, Wait o, Are all the actors in your clique too, like they did the work for free....If you actually shot a movie with 400k, please do tell me the title, I really need to see it.

TheFilmmaker:
I only asked a question. You need not jump into hasty conclusions.

Answer the question, damn it. Let's have an enlightening discourse.

Gravity 2013 was a 2 cast movie and the budget was over 100 million dollars.

Paranormal Activity 1 was a 2 cast movie but the budget was 15 thousand dollars. So what's your point?

I just need to know what type of movie 400k plus can shoot...And wait, We are talking of Naija movies here...Anyway, As the producer, if u can't write the script definitely you will pay someone to do that. Cameras, costumes, props, Paying Actors, Director(s), Editor. 2million don finish Na

TheFilmmaker:
Ok, 2 milli, on what exactly?

Wait o...what type of movie do you make...It must surely be one of those Alaba Movies. Wont you pay for Cameras, props, Actors..Or na one cast movie

TheFilmmaker:
How much do you think is the norm to shoot a feature?

A good feature should cost not less than 2million naira.

kay29000:
Ok. But how much is your budget for an average movie?

An average Nigerian movie wont cost less than a million naira...Thats even for low budget.
