What £500 Buys You in Central London (Short Film Breakdown) | Filmmaker Notes | Mad Potato Studios

Описание: Our Fourth Short Film: "Broadband Service Provider" was shot in the heart of central London for just £500. This was our first time collaborating with a seasoned DOP from pre-production to post-production, and learning that the amount you prepare is directly proportional to how much you can improvise on set.

Here’s how we pulled off a professional looking short on a shoestring and what I learnt about planning, improvisation, and being resourceful.

🪞 What You’ll Learn:
• How we secured a central London office for £100 using community networks
• Camera tricks and prop cheats that hide branding and save money
• Rewriting scripts to fit the spaces you can actually get
• Why good prep fuels creativity instead of limiting it
• How to make small sets feel cinematic through blocking and collaboration
