Good stuff! Personally the order of buying i would suggest is: 0. Computer. If you do your own editing 1. Audio gear. Because you can use your phone camera. 2. Lighting gear. 3. A better camera with a Good lense. That will out preform your phone in the area that suit your style of films. I put a camera last because a phone camera is actually really good. And everyone has one. Plus audio and lighting will drastically up your videos quality over a better camera. And for half the price of a good camera you can get great lighting and audio gear.

This looks abysmal lol Just sell the $1k iPhone, get a 600$ Android and a 400$ Canon DSLR. Why are you torturing yourself lol

“Every scene has to earn its run time.” Brilliant comment and concept!

I shoot at F4 or 5.6 I only really shoot wide open when I need the extra light or my shot was designed to have a certain depth of field.

maybe I'm to cautious with my shots. Maybe i jaut need to indie film it and hope i get something 😭😂

Title should be “how to annoy an audience with nonstop promoting”

THE WAY I CHOCKED ON MY DRINK WHEN I SAW THE THUMBNAIL AND THE TITLE LMFAOUI

I wonder why everyone uses the seagate drives, in my experience I have never had luck with them lol and have found the HGST or Toshiba drives to last much longer.

Absolutely brilliant. Enjoyed this tremendously. Good on you

I just decided I am going to make a short film from my children's book, this is a great video. Thanks for helping me on my journey to my first film!

writing game is great concept

Comedy?

Super inspiring! Do you mind giving my recent short horror a critique? I would really appreciate it!

Hot tip: if you add a vignette in post, don't do it as a simple black overlay. Ideally you wanna use a blend mode like overlay or soft light for it since vignettes almost never linearly approach black. Overlay and softlight also effect the luma, chroma and hue of the underlying footage which is much more natural.

Awesome Film Bro!

Why am I just seeing this, it's amazing😂, and the ending was so funny.😂

Drew from Frogman here. Thank you so much for discussing my film, I definitely understand the feedback and really appreciate the time you took to watch it!

Love this short but very informative

the ending MADE the whole movie! 😂

Cleches are a fact and you are right.

Thank you SO much for explaining how to get your first job on UpWork. I could not figure that out. It looked very hard... so getting a friend to hire you is the only way.

This entire video was an advert for that awful website

most effective video for a newbie filmmaker

I guess even a link on a very old thread gets deleted, sigh. So-...any recommendations for fests who really like animated sci-fi shorts? No links plz. Thanks.

Wow good work bruh😇🚀

Im saving for the Accsoon cine view nano. Turns your phone into a monitor for 100 dollars and can steam to 4 devices. With full control and that allows you to have the brightness of a phone screen outside which you need at least a 1000nits for

Never forget the fridge ❤😂

My GOD!! This was so eloquently put! It was very much needed for me! I am a musician and I get so frustrated with myself for getting in my way often times! NO ZERO DAYS! Lastly! I’d love to shoot my shot, (cause why not!) but if anyone on here needs music for their films I’d love to collaborate some time! I mainly write pop music, but I’d be an interesting exercise to try something new and explore new territory. Food for thought! Anyways! So thankful for this video!! Let’s keep on creating art! 💫

You sparked an idea for me. Thanks

As a future cinematographer, I will make sure that I won't suck and give the editor a nightmare.

😂 actually made that scene a lot better

Great video! Thank you

That last short was super well made.

Just curious- shooting on film on a low budget production would definitely be impractical and expensive, but why "attention grabbing"?

Love this!!

Tremendously helpful. I’ve spent months learning sound design. I think this one video taught me more than any other. Brilliant. Thanks so much.

Excellent. I really enjoyed watching this and learned quite a bit. Thank you for creating it for us.

This is one of the best short films I've seen, so simple, so funny... Great job ❤😂

why am i watching this ? ( i am a cinematographer )

Oh, I thought Creative Illumination was a reference to your shirt. This was a fantastic video. I hope you do more of this step by step over the shoulder editing.

Who ever played the Mother-in-law did a fantastic job.

Dialogue is the hardest part imo

they should’ve kissed

This was incredibly insightful pertaining to sound design for films. Very relatable for our most creative who make video content. I think it is emphasize that sound can elevate the visual experience anyone chooses to create for an audience. Great demonstration of that as well. 🙏🏾✨

Awesome film

Hey could you do this with dramatic short film? Focusing most on dialogue, conversation, framing, lighting, for the best effect. - you’d know best, but I for one would submit for sure!

This is official this is gonna be my go to for my director job some day, I hope.. you really gave me a lot of confidence and courage I can’t wait!!

"I'm my cinematographer." Only reason I came here was to make that joke and he ruins it in the first 15 seconds of the video. Oh well, I guess I'll learn something.

These guys done a good job for a small budget. Not bad but need to sharpen up on acting bit.. 👍👍👏👏⭐⭐

You should make a video teaching how a 13-17 year old could make a film on a $50-$200 budget, a phone would be the camera. Just a suggestion
