David Fincher's Kickstarter Campaign
If you thought Kickstarters & Indiegogo fundraising campaigns were only for students, guess again. David Fincher, Eric Powell and Blur Studios created a Kickstarter campaign to help fund their new comic book-turned-animated movie, The Goon. Because Hollywood isn't too keen on putting money on original ideas these days, it appears they need some help funding a feature-length story reel based on Powell's script in order to persuade Hollywood to create this film. The campaign states, "Because this movie isn't a sequel or filled with dancing animals we'll need more to bust open the gates." Check out their Kickstarter campaign here.
So far the campaign seems pretty successful. Hopefully they achieve their goal!
When raising funds for thesis, make sure to start a Kickstarter or Indiegogo. They're free and may help you out significantly!

Looper Pre-Visualization
Like the pitch video for a Halloween remake that was posted a few weeks ago, here goes another pitch video - this time for Looper, before it became the film that plays in theaters now. It's interesting to see the process of a successful film being made, especially in its earliest stages. Check it out below.
When preparing to shoot your thesis film, it's important to visualize the look and tone of your film. Borrow visual aides from other films, drawings, photos, and anything that might help serve as a blueprint for both you and your crew during pre-production.

Fountainhead Project
Here is an example of promotion for your portfolio. Earlier last quarter, I wrote and directed a short scene in our sound stage. I did what all of you guys do for Directing the Actor - took a scene from a book / movie, rehearsed with my actors, then recorded the scene in our set. This video is what I showed at Alpha Channel this past September. This version is not quite finished, however I wanted to share this with you to demonstrate what you can accomplish with the resources you have. The crew were all alumni from the program. The equipment and location were done on campus. Click on the link below to see the film, if you missed Alpha Channel. Enjoy! - Eve
