MAKING OF KING PART 5

December 2009 I got into independent producing. I and my professor Tim were having a conversation on how hard it is to get indie stuff made. Tim told me that the problem was people standing around and waiting for someone to come along and make their projects. “The key to become a great director is going out there and shooting your own stuff. Don’t wait, go shoot it yourself. Everything you need is right here” .I took Tim’s advice and started preproduction on an indie doc on Mike. Since I didn’t have movie to make the J5ive then I’ll make something I can do. I used CELTX and storyboard the entire film then went looking for stock. I told Tim, Getty would cost me almost 1300.00 dollars for stock on MJ that was 15 secs. long. Tim said he could help, he showed me Vixy.net and from there I was able to take post footage from offline and use for the documentary. The finished product cost me 50.00 in gas money. The film was called “MAGIK: MICHAEL JACKSON” it was an homage to John Lennon’s doc “IMAGINE” using the same type of template but lower quality. I’ll post segments over the weekend.
