Kreme T.

Great when everyone pitches in outside of their formal roles. Especially your grip/actor - probably more fun too!

Vincent B.
Posted 6 months ago

It's nice when a team appreciates their crew! Nice.

Milan S.

I agree that to have great people on set in an asset but this does not happen every time! GOod luck guys!

It reminds me of the times when what little money was available went into the movie and people worked for food. It shows real creativity when solutions need to be figured out without just throwing money at the problem.

Alan N.

You're starting with a good group of friends. Money can't buy. Good luck.

Jordan L.

Thank you for posting this! Its so true and you haven't heard this yet. A team that is "All In" for the project is priceless!

Time is money, and people are what make the time valuable. Good work!

Siobhan M.

Good for you! Its the people working together well that makes it happen!

Having passion and surrounding yourself with people who are equally as passionate. Recipe for greatness! You have a great eye for details.

Denise D.
Posted 7 months ago

I agree. As a film watcher I want to have 3 d characters not one dimensional characatures that are way to common in movies today.

Ally P.
Posted 7 months ago

Our characters are definitely 3D. And you don't even to wear those funny glasses to watch them!

Aiden C.
Posted 7 months ago

Brillant tip of working with a pro team that can move fast.

Allen M.
Posted 7 months ago

This will be very funny, looking forward to seeing how this turns out

Colin T.
Posted 7 months ago

excellent video, well done guys. "We also don't pay anyone so that helps" haha, nicely said.

Emily R.
Posted 7 months ago

This seems like an amazing team, good luck to you guys! Great work.

Ally P.

Thanks Emily R!

Alex K.

Awesome, so very true! The only way to go is with the best around you!

Roman G.

quality over quantity. I Like that!

Brad D.
Posted 7 months ago

Nailed it. People are the most important to getting a film made. Camera tricks and vfx will only get you so far if you don't have friends willing to help you achieve your vision.

Ally P.
Posted 7 months ago

We hate VFX! ;)

Candice M.
Posted 7 months ago

People always seem to be willing to do more work, and work longer hours if there is a lot of food available for them to munch on.

Su P.
Posted 7 months ago

You guys look like a fun group

Curtis B.
Posted 7 months ago

Not sure what your cheap trick is, I am guess that it is the quality and versatility of the actors!

Ally P.
Posted 7 months ago

You got it!

Amy A.
Posted 7 months ago

aww too cute

Yvonne L.
Posted 7 months ago

The right people who will donate time and talent. Network and use all your resources.

Pina V.

Looks like a fun crew!

Jess R.

would like to see more about the mission

Sunny A.
Posted 7 months ago

Ha! No one is paid but everyone wants to come to set. Always a good sign.

Ally P.
Posted 7 months ago

Well, we also blackmail people sometimes...

Ryan H.
Posted 7 months ago

good times on set

Taylor B.
Posted 7 months ago

You guys are funny

Ally P.
Posted 7 months ago

We have to be. Have you seen us?

Linda B.
Posted 7 months ago

Interesting..tricks??

Amanda B.
Posted 7 months ago

Awesome.

AChristine W.
Posted 7 months ago

Don't think this really addressed the real point of the mission....but still love the trailer!

Marian C.
Posted 7 months ago

yummy

Sarah D.
Posted 7 months ago

yeah not paying anyone would save a bunch

Peter C.
Posted 7 months ago

Working with the right people, smart and good improvisers should not only be the basis for low budget production. This should be the standard for any production even the ones with big budgets. I think what you have done here is managed and directed your talent well and you all became a very cohesive group which is what made up the success. I think you may be underestimating your capabilities to motivate and direct the team and you should always go into a production with "the right people" and an expectation to pull off an excellent production. Good work!

Ally P.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks Peter. We'll definitely be more arrogant about our directing abilities - can we use you as a reference??

Ian R.
Posted 7 months ago

little bit vague

Melissa W.
Posted 7 months ago

Not paying people would explain it. lol

Ryan S.
Posted 7 months ago

BUT, how did you guys REALLY get creative and save money, besides a "good attitude" and "good writing"?

Ally P.
Posted 7 months ago

Well, again, by having improvisors on set, you're really never wasting time while someone gets back into a character or doing a million takes of one scene. Pretty much everything you shoot is usable. And saving time saves money. We also picked a story that didn't have anything exploding in it. We stand by our cheap tricks, but understand if they don't fit into your definition of creative. We cool, Ryan. We cool.

Ryan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Haha sorry guys if that came off as petty. I've got mad love for your project! It may have been lost in the emotionless nature of the interwebs but don't consider my comment a slam. Consider it a challenge!

Laurel L.

Great team:)

Treena U.
Posted 7 months ago

Neat. Good Luck!

Holly F.
Posted 7 months ago

people over money. makes sense. thanks.

Vanessa B.
Posted 7 months ago

looks good forsure

Clayton P.
Posted 7 months ago

Not a bad idea. Why can't crew members be extras, right?

Ally P.
Posted 7 months ago

That's what we keep telling them anyways!

patricia s.
Posted 7 months ago

looks good

Astra L.
Posted 7 months ago

I liked the video, very talented cast and crew, illustrates well how you don't need a huge budget to make a good film!

Lori M.
Posted 7 months ago

Attitude is everything! You could have a huge budget film that is miserable to work on or a small budget film with a real sense of collaboration. In know which one I'd want to work on!

Ally P.
Posted 7 months ago

Lori, you're hired.

Alan B.
Posted 7 months ago

wow! I liked the trailer and you guys proved that you don't need to have a big budget to make a very good trailer. I hope you guys win.

Ally P.
Posted 7 months ago

Alan, you're too kind. But we hope we win too! It's all up to you and the fans. Keep on voting! :)

Rolinda R.

Sheldon L.

reuse of actors and resourcefulness! by far the best cheap trick...not paying people and just having fun

charlie e.
Posted 7 months ago

team power! I love this mission video.

Natalia N.
Posted 7 months ago

very light-hearted and fun. you guys are always enjoyable to watch

Ally P.
Posted 7 months ago

Natalia, you keep making us blush!

Krystle B.
Posted 7 months ago

Love having you guys on my watch list! Looks like your whole crew is working together!

Ally P.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks Krystie! More fun shenanigans to follow in the weeks ahead! Keep watching!

Cara S.
Posted 7 months ago

Multi-tasking is the ultimate "cheap" trick. :)

David T.
Posted 7 months ago

haha definitely, crew can fill in for all kinds of positions

Stephanie M.
Posted 7 months ago

Looks like you had a lot of fun :)

John K.
Posted 7 months ago

Sure, relationships are important and preparation... no real ideas for being on the cheap... although this project does lend itself well for a smallish budget.

Ally P.
Posted 7 months ago

Hey John. We feel like rehearsing your characters as a group, so that you already have built in dynamics when you hit the set, is a trick that a lot of people don't take advantage of. But that's just us! We're all thumbs when it comes to VFX!

Lena G.
Posted 7 months ago

I liiiiik it

Bob J.
Posted 7 months ago

No actual tricks?

Brianne N.
Posted 7 months ago

"We also don't pay anyone so that helps." (Blank stare.) Love it.

Brianne N.
Posted 7 months ago

Couldn't have said it better. Attitude is so valuable. So valuable!

Darby Q.
Posted 7 months ago

Darby Here, DOPE SON, STRAIGHT DOPE ... lervin the so ho sizzle D straight goods gentle playas

Ally P.
Posted 7 months ago

Darby, we don't understand a word you're saying, but THANK YOU! We'll take it as a compliment. ;)

Bobbi H.
Posted 7 months ago

Nice!

Jolianne L.
Posted 7 months ago

I like this! When you have a great chemistry in the team, the final result is way better than some superficial relationships which are just an obstacle to reach the audience. I think we can relate to it more when we know it's made with real motivation.

Amy K.
Posted 7 months ago

Nice how you're focused on the importance of people dynamics.

Amy Z.
Posted 7 months ago

You are inspirational. Love everything about your team! Thanks again for the peek behind the scenes!

Ally P.
Posted 7 months ago

No prob Amy! Maybe if we get the funding you can get a real life peek by visiting our set or our rehearsals!

Shannon H.
Posted 7 months ago

Free help. It's priceless.

Tyler S.
Posted 7 months ago

this video looks great! good advice to use crew as extras :)

Sweet!

Liam C.
Posted 7 months ago

Great team, really nice!

Scott M.
Posted 7 months ago

Great use of the people you've got on your team!

Gianna I.
Posted 7 months ago

Definitely resourceful! Great job with this video, the focus on the acting really shows in your trailer as I think it is one of the best! (Team Rosalind Revenge)

PS: Love the scarf!!!

Ally P.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks so much Gianna! Our actors are so great. We feel really lucky!

Adam S.
Posted 7 months ago

Free everything? C'mon.

Ally P.
Posted 7 months ago

Adam, we were joking! I guess we don't have the same great comedic timing as our actors. But we pretty much did beg, borrow and steal everything that made our trailer happen.

Michael K.
Posted 7 months ago

Hope you're able to pay all your hard working cast and crew soon!

Ally P.
Posted 7 months ago

Us too! They deserve to live like kings. Or at least people that work in the film and tv industry in Canada!

Andrea M.
Posted 7 months ago

Casting is definitely super important. And hopefully with $1million you may consider paying your crew! ;)

Ally P.
Posted 7 months ago

That is the first item on our to do list. But in all honesty, we have amazing friends and colleagues and we're so grateful for all of the hard work and time they're able to donate to the cause!

Kyle M.
Posted 7 months ago

Impressive with the budget and use of cast.

Julie P.
Posted 7 months ago

Seems like a great team which helps with a productive project

Ally P.
Posted 7 months ago

We do try and repay people in baked goods whenever we can... Thanks Jane!

Jeff B.
Posted 7 months ago

Hard to believe this trailer was made with a small budget. The production quality is incredible.

Ally P.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks Jeff! It's all thanks to our actors and crew. They're the wind beneath our wings.
