Me and my friends were waiting in the queue to get tickets for the movie “Naquab”, my friend Nikhil is a movie fan, just like me (that can be an understatement since he has got more ideas and talent in that field). We were talking about making a movie, and it almost seemed like a distant dream. But suddenly I thought about the short comedy video I saw online in youtube. It was named “Technopark Jada” and had 50K views when I saw it.
There an opportunity became clear, if we can write short scripts and make it into a movie and release it online, there is a huge community waiting there to view it and spread it if they like it. Short films can be shot using local handheld cameras or for a bit of perfection we can use semi professional cameras. Some one with knowledge of adobe premiere can edit the shots into a movie. If the story line is good an interesting people will spread it to their friends.
So we have people with artistic talent and technical knowledge to make a small movie. Now we need money to produce it. What about selling 30 sec ad space before the movie. with 50K views there will be many interested advertisers.
Secret information -: A script is being readied. Will be releasing online soon.




Interesting info. May be you could do a How To article on this subject with basic guidelines, links and even advice on equipment, software + info about online networks where one can find artists and technicians to network with.
