so really this wasn't 6000 pounds if you include all of your equipment

[parkesproductions]

@mogulkey Unfortunately not. Whether equipment or services are your own, provided for free, given as a gift or heavily discounted does not change a final budget other than make it less of course! The idea of any low-budget production is of course to make it as cheap as possible and by using our own equipment meant we could put more money towards the cast and crew. So yes, the final budget was £6000, but using our own equipment was only one factor among many that made it possible.

@parkesproductions that's awesome we are also working on a feature film. I'm 15 so they're are many critics but with a good script and pretty decent equipment, I believe in myself
