Book Cover design for "Make Your Movie! - How to make a feature film for less than 50 grand"

Make Your Movie!

Ken Webb

Native New Yorker, Ken Webb was hired by VH1 as a writer/director of on-air promos right out of undergrad after his thesis film, The Waiters, won numerous awards and became a region finalist for the Student Academy Award. With a 20 year career in the field, Ken Webb has directed music videos and short films, including the New York Times published Op-Doc 'Subway Alarm' which helped to silence the noise pollution of the emergency exit door alarms that went off unchecked for 9 years in NYC. He has also taught film production at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. It was this experience that inspired him to go "do" and not "teach." He then made 2 feature films; each for less than 50 grand. Additionally, Ken Webb is a prolific songwriter with a dozen full-length records of original songs to his credit.

How to make your feature film for less than 50 grand. (that is the subtitle and also what the book is about.)

Aspiring filmmakers.

Below I will be including my initial sketch idea for the book cover and also the cover I designed myself. The basic concept is the image of the director's megaphone becoming the projected beam of light onto the movie screen. The images describe this better than my words. I''m also including the book cover that sort of inspired my concept.

If you do use stock images, please limit your search to Getty images "premium access" images. I'm including the images I used in my design but don't feel you must use them. Suprise me! No stock images is fine!
