that's very true, from experience I know that Blackmagic will no longer support outdated products. Once they release a new version of a product they won't fix issues with the old versions. With company X we had a blackmagic multi-cam video switcher and it broke. blackmagic customer service told us that since a new version of that switcher had been released they couldn't fix the one we had. we ended up having to by a whole new switcher.

@@ThomasTulak Yeah they suck and their cameras are not reliable (the bodies, the sensors, other components ), that is why no one want them in the cine industry or for commercial... It's too bad because they have fantastic colors... But I prefer to work my color-grading in post-production rather than to have to deal with them. They have a bad reputation when you have a problem and with their cameras, if you work a lot with it, you will have troubles unfortunately... Even their Blackmagic Video Assist Recorder, everytime I recorded with it externally, it frooze during the record session, it is totally unusable. I will never record externally again. It broke my heart because theyr BRAW was very convenient... But straight out of the camera their colors are better than zcam and even red, no question about that for me. It's even very easy to transform the log files to match Arri footages. But other things are more important to me.... I need to trust my gear, to trust the company etc. The only perfect product with Blackmagic is... DAVINCI RESOLVE and that's it :)

are they? ...or did the humans assume they were, simply because they are vampires?

@ hmm interessting point. Although, if she didn‘t know about any children, she vould have tried to deny the claim. But she smiled. So it seems like they did it. Also I would love to see evil Vampiress again. In most depictions they are shown as missunderstood creatures. But I‘d like to see evil ones again, who get what they deserve. Evil seducing vampiress!

@@Tony474 perhaps she knew of the missing children, she's just not the one who kidnapped them? If you watch the film again, this time assume the vampires are innocent, you will experience the film entirely differently.

I grew up on the Hammer films, but Count Yorga had a great ending, Have you seen it? I really enjoyed a few recent movies like "Kiss of the Damned", Fright Night 2, the original is good but the remake is better, except for the ending. New films coming out look promising, like Bloodsucker (German or Swedish?) and Swap (looks like some Only Fans made a Vampire movie)

I mean, I use a Zcam and a BMD Ursa G2 on a regular basis, and I have found that they in fact do.

we had a great stunt team!

Thank you for that! I'm happy to have inspired you! ...If you're set on having your movie be the first thing you make, then it might serve the movie better to use your budget to hire a cinematographer who has the gear, and has a better understanding of how to do everything, who can guide you through it all. However, if you're willing to put in the time, I always think it's better to learn the necessary skills to do it, yourself. In which case I'd recommend getting what ever gear you can get your hands on to start practicing by making some smaller projects like KZbin skits or short films, things like that. Every project you produce you'll learn more and more and get better and better. It doesn't necessarily have to take 10+ years for you like it did for me, but if you start small and work your way up then you'll know when you're ready for the big projects. That said, I could recommend specific brands for things, that will cost various amounts, sure, but more importantly, the best camera to use is what ever you can get your hands on. in 2011 I made a short film for a 48 hour filmmaking competition. I used a $100 Sony "Webbie" handicam, with all auto settings, and nothing else, not even a mic. it was about as entry level camera as you can get... I won 1st place in that competition, and used the prize money to buy my first Canon DSLR camera, that I shot things on every week for a few years till I could buy a nicer camera... by then, after gaining the experience, I had a much better idea of what I needed to get, because I had been doing it and learned first hand. So the best advice I can give is, grab what ever camera you can get your hands on, and just start making things, and you'll figure it out as you go!

@@ThomasTulak thanks! That's a great place to start. 😄 I might even do both. If i can. I guess i'll also search the internet for tutorials on many aspects of filmmaking. Seeing as i may be doing a lot of things for it myself. 😅 I grew up without the internet being a thing, so it sometimes escapes me that i may find answers and help there. 😁 I don't think i can ask people to work for free though. I can work for free but i must get people paid for their efforts. It's like my chivalric code and i always abide. 😂 it's especially going to be tough for me since i am also going to self finance everything. Once again, thanks! and thank you for making this video. It's a kick in the butt to get us aspiring filmmakers to get off our asses and do it!

@@OYABUNxix in regards to it being too late, it’s never too late. Alan Rickman was in his late 40’s when he got his first acting role in Die Hard. There’s no such thing as too late, and late is better than never. You can ask people to work for you for free if in turn you work for them when they have a project. Build a favor based team. That’s what I did. I have a team and we are all there to help each other on each other’s projects. You pay each other in favors instead of money. Just make sure you always feed well anyone who’s on your set! Haha And yes, you can learn anything you need on KZbin. I also grew up before the internet. I started editing by hooking up my dad’s camcorder to a VCR 😂!

@@ThomasTulak oh, there's not gonna be any problem when it comes to food. I cook and i'm told my dishes are quite tasty. 😄 i can also get my mom and or my aunt, or old family friends to cook as well. And, they know how to cook and feed for a town or two. 😂 I didn't mean it's too late for me. I too, live by that belief that it's never too late. It's nice to talk to a fellow cinema lover who appreciates trivia like that also, by the way. I meant, i'm getting old. 😅 I didn't even have a camcorder growing up. Art was not fostered in my family. I pursued it on my own. The first and only camera i ever bought was a disposable one. 😂 i was like 9 years old. By the time i was in college and had enough money, that's when i bought painting materials, canvasses and brushes and paints, to try my hand at oil painting. I need to buy editing and sound mixing equipment too, i reckon. 🤔 I'll try that. An economy of favors among like minded individuals. 🙂 Despite it feeling wrong in my gut and heart not to compensate and reward the hard work of others. 😅 Thanks Tom! It's apt that your name means "Push" in some languages. Because, you were that last push i needed to solidify and reinforce my resolve. 👍

Where do you live that there aren't any filmmakers near you? Perhaps there are and you don't know? Perhaps there are other filmmakers in your area asking the same question. Perhaps you could try starting a filmmaking group, and put flyers in community places in the hopes of maybe finding someone who shares your interests, but doesn't know how to find anyone to work with. If you truly are in a place where there are absolutely no other filmmakers, then perhaps the thing to do is practice on your own to build your skills, and when you are confident in your abilities due to experience, then invest in yourself, take the leap, believe in your dreams, and move to somewhere where you can find people to work with... It won't be an easy decision to move, but if its truly in your blood then you have to stop at nothing to make it happen.

@@ThomasTulak that is what i may end up having to do. I could make a movie here where i am, and try to hunt for and employ people to fill roles for the crew and cast. I could hire the people i met online and fly them over here to help me. Or, i could fly to them and get the movie made over where they are. It's gonna be costly so i may have to expand my budget. In the meanwhile, i could start practicing, like you said. 👍

hey! :) of course I remember you! Thank you, that was all very sweet! Glad to see you're still around! I hope life has been good to you, friend!

@ThomasTulak life is about the same, but hey, I'm still on this side of the grass, so I'll take it, lol! You keep up the fantastic work! I fully believe I'll be seeing more of your work all over the place soon. You have to have unique ideas and a twisty sense of humor and a lot of motivation to get by in entertainment. You've already proven you've got those things in spades. I look forward to living vicariously through your internet posts as success and happiness surround you and your family. 😊 Keep in touch, say hi sometime, I'm around somewhere, lol. Take care of yourself, friend... And don't forget to hydrate!! 😁 Stay blessed! 🌻🌻🕊💜🌻🌻

See, that has not been my experience at all. As I said in the video, I've been using the Zcam in a professional setting with Company-X for the past 2 years, and I have been consistently impressed with it's footage. I wouldn't say it sucks at all, from my hands on experience I'd say it easily rivals the big boys. As far as ecosystem, I don't think it needs it. As far as I know, BMD is the only camera company that has their own post production software, and the professional environment doesn't even use it. But you can shoot with the Zcam, as with any other camera, and use its footage with any NLE... of course low light, by itself, is not a good metric. NO spec, by itself is. But I've been praising so many things, including the image quality and usability, which I find to fantastic... so I'm sorry, but I completely disagree with you.

@@ThomasTulak absolutely fine! to each their own. If the ZCam works well for what you do, more power to you!
