Hello.
I'm currently in film school and in preproduction.
A friend is currently filming a short (I wrote the script, just boasting a little) and is the first one of us to shoot. He's kinda like the guinea pig.
Anyway, he found out that to shoot a short, he needs to write a cheque for five thousand. Once they have this cheque they release the equipment.
This is on top of tuition, which was not cheap.
Is this normal?
On principle, I'm not going to pay. I'd rather use my own camera and lights.
