"If you're the director and the producer, and you have anything to do with the budget, it's your call, you're the director, make it in b&w, I'm currently making a film in b&w, and once everyone gets far into the film, they'll forget its b&w, go with your feelings on how YOU see the film, screw the actors and prop guys or whatever these other guys are."

Yeah I think I'll take your advice on that one.You said you are currently making film in B&W.Are you using film or video?Have you any tips on filters.
I am also going to be doing alot of filming at night or at least for night mostly outside.where I am from in Ireland it can get really black at night virtually no light and I hope to use that but I know it will be difficult.From still photo experience it comes out much better in B&W than colour,do you think its the same for film.Any techniques.

Funny story about the first time I seen Texas Chainsaw Massacre.I got a copy,illegally as it was banned here,when I was about 14 and watched it.It was NTSC and we have PAL here, so for years I thought it was B&W and thought that it looked great until it was released here to find it was colour but it still looked great.Actually come to think of it,its not really that funny.
