When I first made my filmmaking page I came up with “filmunderground” – all lower-case. I used a “typewriter” font and put it over a rusty-looking logo that I made with a pic of an Eclair NPR. A few months later I found out that there was another page called FilmUnderground – and they used the same font and a similar (but not the same) background which it looks as if they have stopped using. And they registered the domain.
So I looked up “no-budget films.com”. No hits! I changed the name of my page to no-budget films. I should have bought the domain, but I didn’t. Guess what? Now there’s a no-budget films online!
I need to come up with a new name, but every one I think of is taken! Any suggestions? It should be easy to remember and the domain should be available. It should convey the idea of a “no-budget, independent” film. Any suggestions?

My company is called Magic Carpet Films. Good name for a Steadicam Operator, n’est pas? Good luck, let us know what you come up with.
One question: your Web site mentions that you’re offering yourself as DP. Is it considered proper to call yourself “so&so films?” I think of that as a film-production house – you know – the people who create the movies, not the guy in charge of filming.
Otherwise, I would suggest Guy With The Camera, Inc. As in, “Who’s that nerd on the set?” “We had to let him in. He’s the guy with the camera.”
Good luck, let us know what you come up with.
