Set the camera in one spot, and then set another camera in a separate place so the car approaches the camera in a turn. You can really set up cameras all over the place so that you have every view of the chase scene filmed. Once the cars are in motion, you can just edit.

It's possible! You can either figure out how to create the animated characters yourself, or you can hire someone that does animation.

Question

I want to share my movie, but I cannot use YouTube until I'm 15. I don't want to post it on Facebook, and I don't want just my family to watch it. Are there other ways to share a movie with the world?

Community Answer

You can display it at a film festival. Alternatively, you can join a film club at your school and show the movie there.

Question

Where could I show my movie?

Community Answer

Many movies are shown at community centers or even senior centers (they are always looking for exciting programs for their guests). Some libraries have private rooms available, though they may charge a fee for their use.

Question

I have a very tiny budget (we're talking about $0-200). I have a decent camera (GoPro Hero 8) and a script in progress. Is there anything else that would be worth spending money on?

If you aren't just directing it or producing it by yourself, try buying props or lighting fixtures or items like that. Many things that are included in the theatrical industry for plays and such could be helpful to you to spend money on.
