POWER UP has a BLOG - check it out!
I have heard more first time directors scream about needing to go to Japan to shoot a legitimate looking period piece. While we would all like to go to Japan to shoot the piece, the reality is we cannot afford it 98% of the time. What is the answer? Find the cheat. Story locations are cheated for other locations everyday. It does not matter if it is film or television, they all cheat locations. The goal is to find the best looking location for what you need in the story and then finding a way to not break the bank in order to shoot. This article talks about the new Nicole Kidman/Clive Owen movie that was shot in Northern California and it doubles for six different countries. Given, they had money to spend, but it does let you know, Location, Location, Location!!!

PLEASE HELP Raise $50,000 to fund the 2012
Mentorship Program!
We ask you to support the only non-profit organization actively teaching, mentoring, providing access and opportunity for young filmmakers to get involved and learn.
The Film and Television industry is one of the most competitive industries in the World. To succeed in this industry is especially difficult, since it remains an apprentice industry where 98% of what you must know to succeed can only be learned on the job.
THAT IS WHERE YOU COME IN! The 2012 Mentorship Program needs your support.
