That would be getting up at 5 am... I don't understand why film's shoot such brutal hours. I think it'd be worth it to not be so strictly cost-effective and have an 8 hour day. The film's would benefit in the end.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People don't realize how long hours are when you're shooting a movie.
I personally believe the film turns out better when shot in one short schedule, plus it doesn't stress the actors.
A 'Friends' shoot night could extend well into the small hours of the morning.
If you have skills to pull off even a four-hour film, people will go and watch it.
It takes a lot of time and a lot of energy and a lot of focus and dedication to do a film, and it's just not worth it if you're going to be miserable for even a day.
Movies are not about the weekend that they're released, and in the grand scheme of things, that's probably the most unimportant time of a film's life.
There is no schedule in the film industry. It's not like you have a 9 to 5 job every day.
I've never done a movie that's shot more than 40 days because I just don't do those kinds of films.
Making films can be absolutely fantastic, but it can also be incredibly dull. You spend the whole day sitting by yourself in your trailer and then you get called to deliver one sentence - then you're told to come back and do it again at 5:30 the following morning.
I'm not complaining about doing 20-hour days. It's a joy to be able to work on yet another film.
