"Hello I’m Corey Turner here on ExpertVillage.com and today we’re talking about low budget moving making.

That’s because I have me as the director, I had my assistant director watching them and then I had my special effects people, costume people, and what everybody was going to be doing I wanted opinions from everybody. It was important to me to make sure that I had the best product. Set up a video camera to record these people, later you’re going to go back and you’re going to try to remember what performances you got from each person. If you have it on video camera you recorded it, you can pop it in and watch it and you’ll learn ten times more about that person watching it later than you did when they were there live.
