Can anyody explain what Guerilla Filmmaking actually is?
Are there rules for it? Is it something like the Dogma-rules?
Shoot withour permits...steal shots...minimum crew...often really lowbudget (doesn't have to be though)...
These are not rules like Dogme has rules...it's not the same thing.
First you must kill el presidente.
watch "cecil b. demented"
listen to the commentary track on "maniac"
Yes, see Cecil B Demented.
"Hey, hey M-P-A-A, how many movies did you cut today."
This books pretty usefl from the Guerilla aspect of things, if you're that interested.

actually, its "censor" which is much more appropriate
If you gave 100 gorillas a movie camera odds suggest one of them should be able to make a movie like Orson Welles.
Wait a second...gorilla...guerilla...oh never mind...

Hehehe, Muty's best post ever.
Guerilla Filmmaking is just rocking a camera and crew like a video game. In and out, worrying more about getting busted without a permit than you are about checking lighting. Using that bar brawl you caught on camera as the basis of your whole film when 1/4th of the film has already been shot. Practice, Practice, Practice.
whats gonna happen if you get caught without a permit?
Quote from: prophetwhats gonna happen if you get caught without a permit?
Depends...on the size of your crew and equipment and how good an anus licker you are. If it's just you, a couple of actors and like one or two team members I don't think the police would do much...probably just ask you to leave...or they could fine you. I'm sure if the Spider-man 2 crew was caught without a permit they'd get fined :)
yeah guerilla filmmaking as a term has been cheapened by a bit. It was first used to describe them persecuted filmmakers in Russia making political films critical of the regime, with no backing whatsoever, so they must just go out in the streets and do their shit before the police catches on. Now like anyone can just claim to be a guerilla filmmaker--like jane goodall goes into the jungle with a camera and all of a sudden she's made a guerilla film.

No, if Jane Goodall goes into the jungle with a camera, most likely, she's made a
gorilla film. Oh!
(Not to beat a dead gorilla or anything.)
whoa, you (possibly) got my pun. Have a gorilla bar.
