あらすじ
BUDGET? WHAT'S THAT? With little experience and no budget, PJ Woodside & Steve Hudgins successfully released 10 feature length movies in 9 years. A common question they are asked is "How do you do it?" Now the question is answered. This book details every step they took to achieve their accomplishments. From light, sound, equipment, casting, writing, directing, editing, finding locations, managing movie sets and all the nuances involved in making a movie with absolutely no budget. It's all covered in Cheapskate Movie Makers. "This is not a how to do it book. This is a how WE did it book." "Big Biting Pig's horror films are often more entertaining -- and more innovative -- than many bigger-budgeted Hollywood horror fare." HOLLYWOOD INVESTIGATOR
映画・ドラマ版との違い・考察
本書は技術書を超え、映画製作の常識を覆す情熱のマニフェストです。著者らが綴る言葉には、予算の欠如を創意工夫で補う泥臭い知恵と、表現への純粋な渇望が宿っています。制限こそが武器になるという逆転の発想は、あらゆる表現者の魂を震わせる強靭な知性と熱量に満ちています。 映像化作品では紙面の現場感が克明に再現され、テキストの論理的凄みと映像の視覚的説得力が、見事な相乗効果を生んでいます。文字から溢れる執念が表現として結実する瞬間、読者は「創作」という行為の本質的な歓喜に、かつてないほど深く没入することでしょう。
