I think Weekend Extra should do like a 30 minute to an hour long special on a How to Start and finish your own Film.

An episode with a Start to Finish, step by step instrutions on making your movie covering almost everything ( They cover alot in 5 minutes imagine what they can do in an hour!) Like frist they give you a quick rundown of the steps, like frist is the Idea then the Script and then find a writer of the Screenplay etc.
With little (new) quick tips through out the episode, in depth editing etc.

How to shoot at night, in the rain etc. Even show how they set up there lighing and how they do there green screen.

Even though they have already done those before. Then you get to see how they do there lighting and set up and film there green sceen effects.( They don't have to redo the episode just show them doing it.)

Like a whole documentary on Erik,Steve,Justin and the crew making there own movie. It could be a week long show like sevan 5 minute show on every day for a week ( of corse we would have to miss a week or two of BFX, Q & Erik and Weekend Extra. But thats a vary little sacrafice for an hour long making making special! It would probibly be in 2008 if it happend and if they did we might have to miss a week or two so they can shoot it and then one more for it to air.

Tell what you think of it.

Oh man. Haha. What we're doing right now is basically what you're asking for. Our lighting episodes, our sound episodes, and the future episodes for the next month or so of Weekend Extra are all going to be to the tune of "how to make a movie". We have some cool episodes in the works, following the path IMWE has been going lately. And everything you see us do in these videos...is how we really do it. I know it's not exactly what you're wishing for, but we don't have anyone to follow us around. And a five minute episode takes a week, imagine how long a half hour ep. would take.

I just want to stress that everytime you watch BFX or IMWE, you ARE watching us in our element. We're trying to throw more behind-the-scenes stuff onto our vimeo account and the forums, so, there's that too. I hope this is close to what you're looking for.

Thats fine, I can't belive that you guys can live with doing 3 show a week, and we just add more stress but I'm just thinking of ideas......thats basicly all I do lol. Thats great that you guys are cool about this stuff, but was just wonding how long do you think it would take to make an episode 7 or 8 minutes in editing ( aprox)cus a few people were asking for that. Thanks for everything.

We thank you for that, and without yourself and people like yourself, Indy Mogul would be nothing! You guys keep us going and give us a reason to make these shows! The issue with making longer episodes is more of a matter of "time it takes to produce". This Weekend Extra on audio was originally going to be one episode, but it was simply not possible with all the work we were doing.

Okay thanks, oh and maybe if you did something like a movie episode what if it was a live webcast. Just a tought, but some people might get bord. But the show Big Brother did that and people watched.

I looked at the title too quickly. I thought it said How to make a movie in 1 hour.

Hmm, come to think of it, that would be the craziest film contest ever. From script to post, you have one hour. GO!

That would be cool. It would have to be like a minute though.

We should do that! But like, 2 hours, cause uploading can be a problem sometimes. It would be like filmfights, but on crack. I'd do it:cool:

BUMP

Seriously, Guildrew, we try NOT to bring up threads that have been dead for 2 years.
Especially when the show is no longer on Indymogul and neither is the host.
