You can contribute too! Create your own DIY guide at www.howcast.com or produce your own Howcast spots with the Howcast Filmmakers Program at www.howcast.com First movies are often tight on funding. Learn what gear to look for and you’ll be able to get A-list results from a C-list budget. To complete this How-To you will need: A shot list A tentative shooting schedule A place to buy or rent movie equipment A budget Step 1: Make a budget Make a budget for what you can spend on gear. If you skip this step, you risk finding yourself with a camera but not enough money for a tripod. Step 2: Consider insurance Consider insurance. It might seem expensive, but it’s nothing compared to breaking a brand-new camera. Also, you will need insurance to rent equipment. Step 3: Go through your shots Go through your shot list and determine your general needs. For example, if your entire movie takes place outdoors during the day, you can pretty safely divert your lighting budget elsewhere. Tip: Consider shooting in digital—it’s cheaper, easier, and, if you know what you’re doing, it can look fantastic. Also, high-definition cameras are rapidly dropping in price. Step 4: Schedule smartly Be smart about scheduling. If you want to rent something special—like a jib—for a few shots, schedule those shots

Shared housing– It s not just for graduate students anymore. In fact, as the book, Sharing Housing, notes, these days all kinds and all ages of people are coming together to form households. It makes sense in terms of environmental sustainability, it makes sense in terms of the economy, and it makes sense in terms of personal well-being. Consider, for instance, that three people sharing one house use about the same amount of heating fuel as would one person. Think about homeowners with rooms to spare but incomes that won t cover their expenses. Think about an elderly widow who longs for day-to-day companionship, or a single renter who d rather not or can t afford to live alone. It s no surprise, then, as National Public Radio recently reported, that 15.4 million Americans lived in multi-family households last year, an increase of 11.6 percent since 2008. But while finding roommates or finding established households to move into is easy for graduate students, the process can be daunting for others. Where do you advertise rooms for rent? What questions should you ask a potential housemate? How will you share household chores? What do you do if a living situation isn t working out? Annamarie Pluhar s book provides a practical how-to for retiring boomers, millionaires, single parents, senior citizens, twentysomethings and professionals in every walk of life who can benefit from sharing the cost of a roof. At the same time, they can live a more sustainable lifestyle through shared resources. While most people choose to share housing for economic reasons, Pluhar says, I hope that by following the process laid out in the book, readers will find the comfort, health, and safety that having a good housemate can provide.
