I beg of the OP not to make the movie. He will be living at home forever...just make a simple short "movie" and put it on the WWW.
Where are you getting a fire truck and are you going close a street????
Also, truly, you need help with basic spelling/grammar. How will you write a script?
Well I've already made short films and put them on the web, I can't be doing that forever. I feel I should make something big and try to do something bigger in to break into the industry rather than just keep on making shorts still. As for the fire truck, I asked other filmmakers about that, and if I should just scrap the fire truck, but they said that getting a fire truck could be do-able, plus in the plot, the villains destroy evidence, and you need to do that with fire. I thought they could just run bleach all over the evidence, so I wouldn't need fire, but I was told by others, that bleach is just not as plausible, and fire may be necessary for the story therefore (shrug). But I was told by other filmmakers to just get a really good CG artist for that.
Plus all the other filmmakers I worked for are doing there first features. One I am working for now, is doing a feature as we a speak, so I don't think it's ridiculous if the other filmmakers I helped have done it, and they say it's a normal step.
Who is paying for all that silly stuff and crazy ideas? Your parents?
At 34 you still live at home and you don't work...
You should be ashamed...
Amen.

You're using your life savings and you quit your job because you couldn't use the restroom. How will you ever live on your own? Or is truly you can't live on your own...

How did your shorts do on YT? Post them here so you can get honest feedback because seriously, your movie doesn't sound good.
It may be a "normal" step for other filmmakers because I guarantee they didn't live at home with their parents. They did "life stuff" first, thennnnnn a movie.
Well everyone was telling me to quit my job, people on here, the doctor, cause it was causing bladder problems, friends family. The job was driving me nuts cause it was effecting my health so everyone told me to quit it. I went back to an older job from before.
Some of the shorts on youtube got negative feedback mostly cause of poor sound and poor cinematography. Which is why of course, I am spending more money on a more experienced a more experienced cinematographer and post production sound mixer, etc.
Here's the latest short I did, and not finished it yet, but here's a draft:
This isn't 1950. Forget the dolly. Get a Steadicam or a very good gimbel. It'll give you more options for camera movement and you won't have to waste your time setting up tracks for a dolly.
Okay thanks, but I tried the gimbal before but I didn't think it looked as smooth as the dolly. The gimbal is smoother in faster shots, but if you want to do a really slow dolly like move, the gimbal has these little micro-movements that you can see when moving very slowly.
Like in this shot here with the gimbal we did for my short film for example, does it have more micro-movements compared to a dolly, or is it just me?

But the camera is going around him in a circular motion. First the gimbal circles over to the left side of him, and then it circles over to the right side, slowly.
You can't go in a circular motion on a tripod. So if I wanted to circle around an actor slowly, like in that shot, would a dolly have been more smooth than a gimbal?
LOL! I saw this on the sidebar and knew immediately who it was that posted it.
I don't understand why posters are still responding to this garbage.
