Elliot Grove over at Raindance has 10 low-budget filmmaking tips that seem like great advice. Though he kind of cheats on #10, so let’s call it 9-point-something filmmaking tips. Which is still pretty good.

Grove calls his tips “Zero Budget” filmmaking tips. but he is clearly speaking to folks who have at least some budget. His article could best be described as tips on how to get the most bang for the bucks that you do have, or how to reduce your budget as low as possible while still producing something people will want to see. Though if you truly do have a budget of zero dollars, Grove’s tips will certainly help you get as much bang from that non-buck as you can.
