You know it is a low budget short film when the gaffer is leveling track and pushing the dolly.
I recently worked on a low-budget short film as the gaffer. It is the kind of thing I generally turn down; not so much because I don't like doing the work, but it means turning down work that pays my bills.
Of course on a small shoot, job titles don't mean much. Everyone pitches-in and helps with whatever needs to be done.
You also can tell it is a low budget film when you need to use the R/O case for an applebox.
Necessity is the mother of invention. Something we do on-set, all-the-time by coming up with solutions to problems. It is interesting how much can be accomplished with a small crew and limited equipment.
