Why Disposable?

Other than a great challenge, It's cheap. For a year now I have been wanting to create some movie magic but since I don't have the resources nor the money, I can't. The disposable camera idea seems to be the best bet economically.
I am sure other filmmakers are making their own disposable movies, so the story will take presidents, and hopefully the viewer will forget it came from a disposable camera. I will document the writing process, the help I get from friends, the filming, and the publishing on youtube or myspace all through this here blog.

Some technical details.
The Camera

• No zoom
• up to 20 minutes of digital video and sound
• 4 buttons: on/off, playback, record, delete
• 35 dollars
  

The Movie

• Short, possibly silent, 3-5 minute movie
• 1 or 2 central characters

The Process

• The movie will be returned on a DVD
• Mac the Ripper to take the movie from the DVD
• Edit using iMOVIE
• Publish using a free streaming service
  

and there you have it. Now I need to write a doable movie. I'll keep you posted.
