Low budgets force you to be more creative. Sometimes, with too much money, time and equipment, you can over-think. My way, you can use your gut instinct.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Sometimes, and I hate to say it, you do feel things are asked for in the most ludicrously unrealistic fashion. The time you are expected to make things in, and the money you are expected to make them for - that is the death of creativity. Just because some things can be made very cheaply does not mean everything can be.
You know, a low budget, you have to work harder. You have to plan well; you don't have much time to rehearse.
Sometimes when you've got too much money you lose your imagination.
I've developed a theory that there's an inverse relationship between money and imagination. That if you've got lots of imagination then you don't really need much money, and if you've got lots of money then you won't bother with much imagination.
I think being on a constraint with money makes you much more creative.
The whole reason one wants to do lower budget films is because the lower the budget, the bigger the ideas, the bigger the themes, the more interesting the art.
It is a very frustrating thing to be the face of a creative project and yet essentially have zero creative control over that project. Essentially, you're a pawn in the system.
Ideas are cheap. Always be passionate about ideas and communicating those ideas and discoveries to others in the things you make.
I think when you start talking about money, it stops the whole creative process for me.
When you do a low budget movie, you get a little over-ambitious.
