Bad audio is unwatchable. | | 3 | Thou shalt use natural light | 4 PM window light is better than a cheap LED. | | 4 | Thou shalt limit characters | More actors = more meals to buy. | | 5 | Thou shalt avoid special effects | Use implied action (cut before the punch). | | 6 | Thou shalt beg, borrow, but not steal | Ask to use a friend’s garage. Don't break in. | | 7 | Thou shalt finish the film | 90% of zero-com movies die in editing. | | 8 | Thou shalt upload immediately | Don't wait for perfection. YouTube is your festival. | | 9 | Thou shalt make a poster | Marketing costs $0 (Canva). | | 10 | Thou shalt make another one | Your first film is practice.
