    Stuff we use:
    LENS - Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important. This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner. Started using this lens at the end of 2013 - amzn.to/2tbtmOq
    AUDIO
    Rode VideoMic Pro - The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio. It also helps us sync up our audio in post amzn.to/2t1n2hx
    Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - amzn.to/2tbFlM9
    LIGHTS - Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light. We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times - amzn.to/2u5UnHv
    COMPUTER - Our favorite computer, we each have one and have used various models since 2010 - amzn.to/2t1M67Z
    EDITING - We upgraded our editing suite this year and we’re glad we did! This has improved our workflow and the quality of our work. Having new software also helps when we have a problem, it’s easy to search and find a solution - goo.gl/56LnpM

    Perhaps the more useful question ought to be “Have you shot a feature movie in five days and then sold it to streamers or secured cinematic distribution ?”.

    I made a horror feature for $10,000 with 2 locations. A house and woods. I had only 7 days to shoot at the house as I had to rent it (in Brentwood LA which half the budget went to), then a couple weekends in the woods (near Malibu Creek State Park. Free. No permits). It's possible, but honestly, the work suffers when you move too fast as we did.

    I'm about to dp a 7-day horror feature next month. Even in preprod I can already see the schedule means we'll have to make a lot of compromises when it comes to production value but I also see it as a sort of a test of skill. Most of the features I've shot so far have run between 16 and 35 days. It's going to be an interesting if challenging endeavour and I'm looking forward to seeing how well we can pull it off.

      I personally have moved on from trying to shoot as quick as possible to as good as possible.
      My current short I filmed over a couple of months a bit at a time.
      This year I'm shooting a feature, and am aiming for 10 minutes a month, shooting when people are available.

      Edgar Ulmer did, and it was GOOD: Detour (1945), shot in 6 days for $20,000. One of the great noirs of the 40s, with a bleakness today's pretenders can only envy.

    @Film Courage Have you NOT heard of Detour (1945), shot in 6 days for $20,000? One of the great noirs of the 1940s, its bleakness is rarely matched.

    if youre making a movie in 7 days, youre making a movie that no one is going to watch

    If you stress your production the result will suffer accordingly. With today’s inexpensive digital equipment, production days are a lot more affordable. The complexity of the story, the number of location and special effects will determine the amount of time required to complete a production in a responsible way.

    LOL = I've been in tv & film production since 1978. 100's of thousands productions later... sure you could even shoot a film in 12 hours, it's the editing that takes weeks. I seriously doubt that whatever Steven Shea shot couldn't be worth watching. And he doesn't like documentaries?
