“Shot on location — in my bathroom!“
Try to avoid making a movie that takes place in a cramped location, such as a bathroom stall.
If you must, then build a bathroom stall in your garage, with removable walls. You’ll be a lot happier if you do it this way, as will be your crew and your cast. Don’t be seduced by the idea that it’s easy to write.
One of the shorts we’re planning to do for our upcoming web series all takes place in a tiny little coffin-like box. We definitely plan to build removable walls. Trying to shoot inside such a tiny thing would be stupid!
(not that we don’t do stupid stuff on occasion…)
Thank you Ryan K. Johnson for this tip!
