- Filmintervjuer
In the sixth episode of Short Hand, we’re thinking about how to crew up your short film. Hear from producer Ameenah Ayub Allen (Rocks, Ali & Ava), Alice Whittemore, a Development & Production Executive at Film4 and Anna Ginsburg, an animator and director (What Is Beauty?) about finding, hiring and paying people.
Topics covered include: what roles you need on set and where you might be able to think outside the box, getting references for your crew, looking after them and keeping morale high on set, getting HoDs approved by execs, what to do if members of your crew drop-out at the last minute, crewing up an animation and how different types of animations might affect who you need.
