Breakdown of a Cinematic Documentary: Red Komodo 6K

This is an in-depth breakdown of a short cinematic documentary called Blue Mind. In this video I go through all stages of the making of a film - meeting your character, shaping the story, pre-production, filming, gear, editing & more. I really think this will be helpful to filmmakers who want to learn more about this process & shoot your own projects.

Thank you for your generous sharing of your filming experiences. It's very instructive and helps pave the way in beginner's minds (like my own), for one day committing to a similar achievement.

[@verassvet]

привет! счастлива и невероятно рада найти твой канал. если вдруг вы говорите по русски, потому что имя похоже) то я пробую разгледеть, в какой программе вы работаете , чтобы писать сценарии ?

[@lostinayaland]

Hi! Thanks for the kind words. I only understand a fraction - I’m originally from Bulgaria, so I don’t speak Russian. Anyways if I understand correctly me and my team use Davinci Resolve for editing and all of the notes and scripts I pretty much write in google docs, I don’t use a dedicated program yet.

[@VasariFilms]

THANKS for all the nice info!

[@lostinayaland]

Any time!

As an ex-World Champion Freediver and professional cinematographer, I find myself wishing we had crossed paths years earlier to create a documentary about my journey. Keep up the great work I love your content! btw, Alice was one of my athletes send my greetings to her!

[@lostinayaland]

That’s so awesome - the world is so small some times! Thanks so much, I’m sure you have a great story to tell. I’ll let her know :)

[@poul_bracker]

Hey Aya! Awesome breakdown of your passion project! Loved watching it and I really admire your organisation skills :D I did a short film about a free diver in Tenerife, so I can relate really well to this big challenge you mastered! Congrats! Looking forward to see your film! All the best from Vienna :)

[@lostinayaland]

Hey Poul! Thanks so much, really happy to hear that you enjoyed it. I might have spent more time on the breakdown than the actual film haha. Ahh Tenerife is amazing, I really want to shoot something in that part of the world as well.

[@poul_bracker]

@@lostinayaland how awesome is that! Let me know if you need help for scouting some rare shooting locations! My protagonist also works as location scout for production teams as he lives there and dived/hiked everywhere in Tenerife :)

[@JeanSebastienLEGER]

[@lostinayaland]
