Okay, I'm interested in desiging, writing, filiming, producing and all that other good stuff for a movie. Me & my crew of people will attempt to make a film. Currently, they're doing this freely because they are close friends, but we're currently looking for actors, we're looking for props, and we're looking for a approximate general budget cost of the movie.

- Movie Length ? Around 1hr.

- Settings ? Streets, highways, buildings, offices, houses, forests, open land.

- Actors ? 5 - 10 Major actors, (How much do you think they should get paid) 10 - 15 Minor actors, (How much do you think they should pet paid) 40 - 50 background actors, (How much do you think they should get paid, or even paid at all.)

- Props ? handguns, machine guns (Fake of course, but how much would it cost.) Gun powder, cars, trucks, bikes, desks, computers, printers. (for the setting, but I bet we can reuse them during scene switches). (How much do you think all of that would cost.)

- Equipement - We've got 3 camera's, couple of mics, sound editing tools, computers, PC sofware editing, and more. (We already have that stuff, but if you think we need more post, and tell us the price.)

- Sellers ? Where do you think is a good place to buy products/equipement like these. For the best quality, but at the same time reasonable price.

- Overall Costs ? It will probably be around a 1hr. film, action/adventure. Do you have any approximate cost calculations.

Thanks!

As far as costs go, it all depends on the film, in my opinion.

I'm doing a 30-45 minute Holocaust film currently, and we're way under budget with $200.

You're making a movie with a 200$ budget ?:0?and, I was thinking to buy a handful of fake grenades, and one vehicle tank. But I'm not concern about the grenades, but more of the tank. How much do you think that will cost?

Christ mate! I wish I had a big of a bloody budget as you. I had to movie from low budget films to no budget films. Best of luck to you!

You know, just a thought, but maybe you should check into military surplus stores for some of the stuff. I'm sure they'd have it. They sell alot of fake/defused weaponry for very low prices to just about anyone out of diapers.

That's it! You people have stood in my way long enough! I'm going to clown college!

Well actually, I don't have that much money currently. Hmm, I probably have a 5,000-10,000$ budget. Do you think that would work?

Thanks for the military surplus store option SOD

Oh, and one scene we're in a school. How would I shoot that scene. , and we're in a couple of business offices aswell.
