- Please utilize other rooms in the house in your films, it was so refreshing to see a very loving, playful scene between Stella D. & her husband in the widow.
- Please use body doubles
- Please work on your special effects and if you can't do it well then do without it.
- Please work on your car chases - Girls Cot was an embarassement
- Please hire trained make up artists and cosmetologists
- Please pay attention to continuity - take pictures of where everything is and make sure when you shoot the next day, everything is back where it was previously
- Please hire a script supervisor to make sure people keep the same information from the beginning of the script to the end. Don't say "He stole my 5mil" in Part 1 then "He stole my 2mil" in Part 12. Agree on the pronounciation of words even if its wrong at least be in one accord! If Ini Edo say GUSHI, everyone should say GUSHI, abeg.
- Please rehearse, rehearse, rehearse the scenes at for two days before shoot to work out kinks
- Please research, research, research serious topics like rape, spousal abuse and medical conditions so there are treated with the gravity they deserve
- Please only cast people who fit the part and who have chemistry with each other for us to believe some of these husband/wife/bf/gf romantic-dramedies
- Please have a table read of the script with your actors, have a serious discussion about everyone's view of the story so they are all on the same page...not that one actor thinks he is in a comedy and another thinks he is in a drama.
- Stop showing the same shot of Lagos and Abuja over and over again
- Close the window in the car scene, we can't hear a word the actors are speaking because of the wind
- Hire enough extras to fill a space if you are having a crowd scene
- No more LONG LONG LONG scenes are the dinner table without conversations
- Stop with the LONG LONG LONG prayer, singing, testifying scenes. We get it. The character is a born again, we get it. Speaking of born again, they don't all dress as if na dem poor pass another persin. The bible didn't says you can't be trendy because you are Christian. Look at the birds, tiger, leopard, flowers, God made them unique, colorful.
- If an actor CANNOT sing, please use a voice over. Dub someone who CAN sing over them.
- Please stop with the FRIED RICE AND CHICKEN and that use BLUE drink. Garri and soup is eaten in EVERY household in Nigeria - poor, middle class and rich.
