How you ever tried contact the major tv stations and start that way, doing tv themes first. Do you live in the UK? The BBC are usually doing adverts for  'New Talents'. Go on their website. Hey and good luck to you.

Short answer?\n\nAll you need to be a producer is an idea and the drive to make it happen. Seriously, it's that simple.\n\nLong answer?\n\nFirst you need a script. Is one written yet? If not, write it. If you can't write, hire someone to do it for you. Don't even have an idea for a story? Go buy one. Obtain the rights to someone else's story. Option an already written script. Don't see one you like? Pick a book you like and buy the rights to that. Or someone's life story. Or an old television series you want to make into a film. Doesn't matter how you do it, just get a script.\n\nOkay, now what? Well, to make a movie you need money. Are you rich? Pay for the movie yourself. Aren't rich? Well, now you have two options. Make friends with someone who *is* rich and have him pay for the production. Or make friends with a lot of people who aren't rich, but will give you a few bucks to help out. Don't want to be an indie producer? Go to Hollywood and talk to a studio. If they like your idea then *they'll* pay for the production.\n\nOnce your movie is in the can, you need a release. First, you need prints - copies of your movie to give to theaters. You budgeted for that earlier, right? And advertising, gotta let people know about the movie, right? If you're indie, that's all your responsibility. If you're studio, there are people to handle it. Either way, guess what... now you're a producer. Welcome to the movies.\n\n(btw - that was all about creative producing. there's also *line* producing, which is more about actual physical production than project development. feel free to email me if you have questions.)

A television commercial goes through five principal steps.\n\n1 - Decide what is the best message to attract the interest of the "target audience."  That means know who in the TV watching group will be the people the advertiser wishes to address, and how the subject of the commercial most effectively motivates that target group to do what the advertiser wants.  This is the "strategy" of the commercial.\n\n2 - Create the commercial in words and drawings.  Before actually making it, the advertiser has to work out what words and images are wanted.  This is the "creative" step of making a commercial.\n\n3 - Asssemble all the things required for the commercial. Again, before it is made, there is a planning process so that the right props, scenery or shooting locations, music, actors and actresses, and other elements are arranged.  If the commercial is an animated work, this is when the artists and other participants are given their work assignments to draw or build computer images.\n\n4 - Shoot the commercial.  One way or another, it must go onto film, video recordings, or be assembled in the computers.  This can be a very long process or take a matter of hours.  All the elements of this are very complex and take more space than we have here to discuss.  this is the "production" stage.\n\n5 - Edit the commercial.  This is where the pictures, the sound, the text, the advertiser's identification, and other elements are all assembled.  In a very complicated commercial, it can be a very, very long process.  Even very simple and very cheap commercials require several hours to complete.  This is "post production" processing used not just in commercials but any television or film project.\n\nIf you want to learn much more detail, you'll need to get some books about advertising and production.

You heard right, Albert.\n\nThe pilot episode of the series was called 'The Seinfeld Chronicles.' And the actual script for that episode arrived at NBC from Castle Rock Studios with a show title that didn't even have the name Seinfeld in it: 'Stand-Up.'\n\n______________________

I successfully ran a theatre company for four years and let me give you a bit of advice. First there is training. There has to be some local theatre schools with a good reputation. Please, before investing a single cent, look into the reputation. As I am Canadian, I am not sure if Hawaii's local college has a theatre program or not, but that might be a good place to start. As well, there are a number of television and movie programs usually filmed in Hawaii. I know that getting in touch with someone on the set is usually impossible, but you can try. Believe it or not, advice is free and professionals are always willing to hand it out to someone who's eager and willing to listen. Also, scan your local papers. Every newspaper you can get your hands on. Free or otherwise. Search for new shows filming or staging in your area (Hawaii is pretty small, so I don't know if travel is a problem or not). Some pretty big companies will advertise for extras in a local newspaper byline (that's the story on the shoot) or in the classifieds. You can also go online and e-mail some professionals and ask for advice. Also, don't be afraid of hitting the local theatre companies. Ask what they want for auditions. Let me tell you, you'll make or break yourself at an audition. You may be perfect for a part, but an inappropriate piece will see you to the door. Keep trying and don't take no for an answer. If you think you can do it, you can.

wait tables.....\nwrite screenplays no will read...\ntalk about film as if any really cares....\nbasically you'll end up working on barney or sesame street or some other godforsaken children's show....unless you get real lucky then you may get to be a stand in for a real movie star... maybe you should get a degree in something useful

Before you make your movie... decide what it is going to be about.. and how it is going to be made..\n\nif other people are going to be in your movie.. you will need a signed release from them giving you permission to use the video of them.. or from their parents if they are not 18 yet..\n\nMake up a story-board with the scenes layed out so you can get organized for sets... you can draw crude pictures <stick figures are good> for major scenes... this will help you determine how people will be dressed, etc....\n\n design your script.. if you need it.. after all the planning is done.. go out and record your video.... hopefully on a digital camcorder so you can easily get it onto your computer...\n\nthen.. capture your video onto your computer...\n\nafter you get your video into the computer.. you will want to edit it.. cut out some of the mistakes... re-arrange some of the scenes... maybe add some background music.. or add titles <or maybe sub-titles>... what you can do.. and how big the movie can be depends  upon your software and your computer.\n\nI like Pinnacle software.. it is very powerful video editing software.. also a bit expensive.. but I won it so it was free for me... you can also use Windows Movie Maker.. or if that is not good enough.. try Serif's Movie program.. it costs a lot less and is ok... there are many many programs to capture your video from your camera into the computer.....\n\nwhen you have the movie the way you want it.. you publish it to DVD by burning the DVD.. as a video DVD.. not data\n\nI would also suggest that you burn a data dvd so that you can come back later and make modifications from the original data.. a good backup practice makes it nice if your hard-drive gets messed up!! hehe

I'm a Broadcasting Major, and I'm involved in a lot of TV and movie work. Basically what I do is I spin up an idea with my team, make a proposal to my lecturers and if they like the idea - I go out with my crew and shoot a commercial, a music video, a documentary or drama (whatever it is that I thought up) and I get back to the studio and edit it into a finished product. Then I just hand the video over to my lecturer and watch as the curtains fall and my work gets graded...\n\nInteresting eh? It's the best thing I've ever studied!
