Lagos -The President of the
Association of Movie Producers,
Zik Zulu-Okafor, on Friday urged
movie producers to improve on
the quality of their productions.
"We need to work to improve on
the quality of our productions to
make them appreciable to
people.
"We need to plot our stories
better and tell our stories well,"
Zulu-Okafor said in Lagos.
According to him, meticulous
interpretation of characters is
necessary for improved
productions.
"Costuming, makeup and
choreography should all be
precise to make a good picture,''
he said.
Zulu-Okafor urged organisation
of clinics to give artistes an
insight into the complex nature
of the industry to enable them to
fit into the different departments.
"We need to make it worth
people's time and money by
making it good,'' Zulu-Okafor,
also a director and actor, said.
Zulu-Okafor produced films such
as "Face of a Liar (1999), Time to
Kill (2001) and Hand of God
(2003).
Commenting, another producer,
Kelvin Ushie, advised movie
producers to use quality
materials to prevent piracy.
"If you package your production
well and it goes through the
proper channel, they won't get
your job pirated.
"There are works that are
difficult to pirate; it is because
most of us go for cheap
materials for production that
pirates help themselves.''
He, however, appealed to the
Federal Government to take
adequate steps to check the
activities of pirates to protect
intellectual property.
