You don’t have to have high-end tech or complicated processes to create your film. You just need an open mind and a passion for the story you are telling, as we’ll learn from this week’s episode from the DP and editor of A House Is Not a Disco.
In today’s episode, No Film School’s GG Hawkins speaks with cinematographer Eric Schleicher and editor Blake Pruitt to discuss:
How Eric and Blake landed on this film
Why the sound designer had to create sound effects
Having everything outlined and organized in a Google Doc
What gave the film a kaleidoscopic structure
Asking for consent to film party scenes
Keeping the operating team small during production
Matchframing - what it is and why it’s so helpful in the edit
Challenges during the shoot and the edit
The beauty of not having a production company fund the film
Making the space to do projects you’re interested in
