Shooting a Film START to FINISH | With no crew

[@curtisjudd]

Love the BTS coverage and the "why" behind it - super useful for developing the mindset.

[@RajeshMaallah]

The Videos that you make for Audio Equipment are priceless I have made some decisions based on your reviews. Thank you

[@curtisjudd]

@@RajeshMaallah Thanks!

[@EliseoWay]

Refreshing to see big KZbinrs watching other big KZbinrs videos and showing love. Dopenessss

[@D4Darious]

Thank you CJ

[@curtisjudd]

@Zack Darce I think you're the one that, technically, rocks the drum kit better than us all! Keep it up!

[@martialartsjb]

D, Seriously you need to make these more often. I learn so much in such a short amount of time. Thank you.

[@martialartsjb]

Just Subbed for the D4Academy

[@K-11609]

Same. I learned more about cameras here than the entirety of my cinematography course in college.

[@TheAnimystro]

Holy shit man your cinematography is just insane. Like I see your shots and they are gorgeous and then you explain why and it just makes so much sense, proper skill there

[@Digital.Done.Right.]

I'm exhausted. What a BTS vid. I loved the short and this is so much information that I need to add it to "view later" so I can take more notes on what you did here. Fantastic work with what you had. So impressed.

[@sanyapapaya3900]

Agreed ✔

[@HollyHargreaves]

Great breakdown.

[@phucmapvlog]

Bro, the work that went into this! Props 👍🏻

[@bobbycabbagestalk1492]

dude this is like a mini doumentary. the way the stuff is put together is very creative. keep it coming!

[@OfficialEDC]

This year I’m starting my own short film and this video just came in perfect. Thanks, D! Gonna watch the rest of it now.

[@D4Darious]

Good luck Fam!

[@dhuxy1009]

Loved it! I am currently working on my entry for the Rode Reel and this is very helpful. For those who don’t know the Rode Reel is a short film competition for 1 millions dollars

[@D4Darious]

Keep learning Dhuxy. 🤜🤛

[@shaddjimenez4524]

go crush it.

[@dhuxy1009]

I’ll try :D

[@shaddjimenez4524]

Dhuxy try to have fun doing it as well ;)

[@Rockyroadpool]

Bro. You made this soooo entertaining! Normally these type of videos are more like tutorials and that's really boring

[@fraydogssixfifty3312]

It's the making of an unpretentious true filmmaker, before our very eyes!

[@mjpeake1]

You’re the first content creator I started following in my filmmaker journey. I’m so happy to have you as a teacher!

[@rodneybirdfong]

Why do i love this more than the actual film itself? The thought processes behind the decisions, and how you weave them together in a seamless BTS video... just amazing.

[@soelvilim]

I don’t know of any other filmmaking channel that goes into as much detail and specifics on how to make a film. It’s wonderful to see such concentrated filmmaking content right here.

[@D4Darious]

Thank Brutha. I try

[@matthewwyman8852]

love "get yours skills up, keep learning" - never stop.

[@logan_b_acting4753]

Thank you for always doing the behind the sense because the help me with my films 🙏🏽🙏🏽👋🏾🤙🏽

[@D4Darious]

Thank you for watching Logan. Glad you find them useful.

[@shrey.youtube]

love you darious. forever a fan. people will see alot of your style in my films that's for sure. no film school fam where you at🤠

[@jordandowler2344]

I like the composition of that garage shot. It doesnt matter if you're centered or on a third, as long as the frame feels balanced, which it is. good stuff broseph

[@CamberFilmSchool]

Thanks for this! Love seeing all the lighting tweaks! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@redbandmedia79]

The difference when lighting that hand washing scene is incredible mate. Thanks very much for the video. You’re still my favourite 😉

[@okJanel]

I just found you. I wish I discovered you at the beginning of the pandemic. Anyways, you're a great teacher. At 1st, I felt so insecure watching this video. But you've been doing this a while so I shouldn't try to compare My knowledge to your knowledge. I really should just, Edit what I have an upload. At any rate, I'm just going to start doing my thing and keep coming back been watching your channel to get better. Thank you so much for providing so much value you in all of your videos.🙏

[@mysticlasryn]

Definitely missed this series. Always enjoyable 🙏

[@tnicole9734]

Your production value is CRAZY inspiring!! You deserve so much recognition for the work you put into what you do, and I appreciate the knowledge that you so graciously share with us!

[@dhruvsaha3459]

This is gold right over here, it's asmr for film makers. Dude you need to make a proper show out of it. KZbin really deserves you.

[@JermaineGrant]

Amazing! So many Gems. So much passion and hard work.

[@markcooper4338]

My brain can’t soak up the information as fast as yours can spill it out but..Keep it going! Our minds are never in quarantine and your work is proof of that.

[@cestycinou]

Love both the movie and the bts. Also pre-production bts would be fun. Writing a script, storyboard, planning shots etc... Great work. I am a proud subscriber for few years now :)

[@BLAKHARTFILM]

Awesome. Thank you for this. Great to see you back in action on YT.

[@AlexMinor]

DUDE. These BTS breakdown videos are GOLD. I appreciate your rapid pace in these, but you could literally slow the delivery down a little, add some placement charts, basic lens/sound/lighting theory, and script writing breakdown and you'd have an epic indie film course.

[@D4Darious]

Good suggestions.

[@andyarts8382]

Dude, you're a legend. Thank you for all the hard work you do and teaching us mere mortals.

[@TriscuitsForDays]

This was so great to see after seeing the brilliance that was your pandemic video

[@threefoldtv]

Dude love this content. Great work .

[@D4Darious]

Thank you Fam

[@jorenzo]

You and ponysmasher are my film school: these companion breakdowns are everything-big thanks 🙏

[@fraydogssixfifty3312]

Yup, and it isn't for the lack of content out there. It's about the honesty and love for the craft transmitted. Hope history makes note of you guys!

[@juliano3435]

I love how you try to tell stories with visuals there. I think that's a big improvement for you as a filmmaker and storyteller!

[@Suplex-City]

This film was great, I suggest watching it people. Love you videos bro. Keep shooting.

[@fraydogssixfifty3312]

This was awesome D. And as a bonus I find out about the 35mm!! Congratulations on the fine gear, although it's about the creativity, it's also the freedom great gear gives to the creativity.

[@D4Darious]

Truth

[@wrsongs1]

Useful information that kept coming. “Overwhelming” in a good way! Subscribed!

[@horiacojan338]

omg. An overwhelming amount of information! Up there my favourite filmmaker on youtube!

[@samuelpatchett684]

I’ve watched this 3 times. Just love what you do!

[@JosephKeenanisme]

Love this stuff. Knowing your settings, the lighting, blocking and all the film nerd stuff and seeing the results are the greatest way to learn.

[@creativeaperture3058]

Wow, your videos show me how much thought goes into each scene, thanks

[@donaldaribam]

Thanks for sharing. Loved the short. Appreciating it even more now.

[@robertpdavenportii2908]

The methods behind the creative madness! Your approach is very efficient, the art of film making is getting the maximum desired effects from the available tools, you are slaying it young brother! Love me some Sirui anamorphic on my GH-4 also, and yes I am in the Indegogo campaign for the 35mm.

[@nanoIQ]

You are amazing at this, you know that! My favorite shot was the hand washing one (the one from right side). Loved the lighting through out the short. PS: you need a better tripod head, man. :D

[@KevinToine]

Seeing the versatility of that light, I might buy it

[@StanleyNunn]

Lots of great detail in this one. The little things matter.

[@mathieuvernaison585]

Thanks for sharing your BTS process. Always nice!

[@gusjed252]

This has made me realise your work is quality

[@kustoo]

Really enjoyed this, D. Thank you for sharing your process.

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Love the BTS, dude! This is so helpful!

[@MrAnyVideo]

This was great man! What a talented and inspiring guy you are!!!!!!

[@D4Darious]

Thank you for the support Michael 🤜🤛

[@juliatutko-balena9989]

So amazing. Thank you for this! Wow. Other folks have said the same, but I'm also in the "yes I watched this now but I must watch this again later" crowd. Fast forward film school.

[@uriahkabemba5798]

This is so great man! Learn way more from you than any film course I've taken. Would love to see a post-production breakdown of this as well, if you were willing

[@japroject1]

Keep the BTS up! Super helpful brotha! Awesome stuff!

[@jeremyontech6246]

I don't think I've ever watched a tutorial video that was this entertaining. Great information and extremely well delivered. Thank you for what you do. I've been having some issues with motivation lately, though some time constraints are involved which have made it easier not to do something. But I really need find the time to create something. I feel inspired after your video. Again, Thank you.

[@ebrownjr81]

You sir are brilliant! Thank you for this!

[@fotolander]

Loved the video and the movie. Sound on this video is pretty bad though, took me a couple minutes to finally start to understand what you're saying.

[@AnandaGarden]

This is giant - crammed with wonderful creativity. Thank you, Darious. So enjoyable.

[@storywala88]

Great inspiration as always. Will watch the short soon to get some more inspiration. Kate is very cute.

[@ZGBrickfilms]

This was a super informative behind the scenes look. Unlike most people who say what they did, you said why you did it, and that is very helpful! Thanks!

[@fromthegroundupproduction4665]

DAM YOU JUST GAVE ME MY HOPE BACK. I STARTED A PRODUCTION COMPANY WITH NO TRAINING IN FILMING. BUT I BELIEVE IN ME, I REALLY WANTED A TEAM BUT I PUT ALMOST ALL MY MONEY ON MY GEAR. THANKS A LOT REALLY.

[@yolkycheeks]

Thank you so much for making such an informative and insightful video on the bts process! I learned so much from it!

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Very cool BTS. I recently received the 50mm Sirui Anamorphic lens, and shot some tests with it and I love what I get out of it. I just dropped $599 on the 35mm Sirui Anamorphic campaign. Seeing your shots here, I feel even better about getting the 35mm as well. I just finished a short film script, and I like the idea of using the Anamorphic lenses to create a claustrophobic feeling that I think fits the story. Thanks again for this video.

[@D4Darious]

I think you'll enjoy shooting anamorphic with the 35.

[@penguinYT1]

Wow! Your videos have come a long way. Well done. (I'll probably watch this several times to get all the details.)

[@MoonlightSocial]

Really nicely done, man!

[@D4Darious]

Thank you Bruh.

[@antlerstusksvideography9733]

I need that Voigtlander so bad Great inside into your work, I learn so much here

[@directorsteve3720]

D4 You're my Hero ❤

[@Griff2323]

Dope work my dude! Inspired me to finish my script and start shooting

[@jensonbknopf]

You're a genius! Great short film and awesome behind the scenes. I like the way of commenting. 👏

[@CaseyHavaich]

Incredible insight!! I love these behind the scenes videos

[@leonidasbosse5139]

Awesome BTS and project Darious! Thank you very much for the many details. Very educating and empowering for solo-work.

[@CueStudent]

Good to see another post from you. I have learned a ton from you and appreciate your approach to presenting things.

[@binuserkaf]

TRULY LOVE YOUR YOU NARRATE THESE😭

[@shaddjimenez4524]

this is incredible stuff, love that you focused more on emotion.

[@bihamihetobihamiheto7378]

Maaaan you on a whole other level bro but I enjoyed your set up and how you navigate thru your sets. As a beginner I have a looong way to go. Thanks for being available to teach

[@D4Darious]

Keep learning. You'll get there before you know it.

[@mlmawson]

Really enjoyed the short but this BTS is outstanding so insightful and informative. The explanation of how you visualise the shots and then adjusted the lighting to achieve them is fantastic I always learn so much from your videos bravo

[@proshooters1]

1 second into it already know it’s a banger video

[@JakobKaiserCreative]

Wow. This was pretty amazing! Super informative.

[@spencergregg4667]

I love how quick each breakdown is. I feel like it gives me quick ideas of how I can make my own adjustment for lighting and composition. reaching toward your production techniques and my own at the same time. Thanks for your commitment to your art. Also great film

[@VicCollaso]

This was so good and filled with such filmmaking goodies!!!! The film was great perfectly capturing the tone of isolation during these times! Keep it up, D!!

[@FabricioBaroni]

Hey man, your getting better and better. Seriously you are very good. I really appreciate that you share your workflow with us. And I'm glad that not only have you improved, but now you have equipment that can better show off your work. Keep it up! (I missed a bit the gopro shots on the bts).

[@j.desean4370]

Great video D! I learn something new and get inspiration every time I watch one of your videos. I’m working on my first short right now during shelter in place. 10000 hours.

[@dougfoss1372]

"ordinary things in an extraordinary way" ~ BRAVO !!!

[@steveschnetzler5471]

Amazing what you can do with an "old" camera, but new old-style lens. Love the thought and emotion you put into it, and very well explained, thanks.

[@jakefollensbee]

Your one of my favorite channels

[@rickthacutz]

Thank you for this man! All of your vids are awesome!

[@darkexpose5153]

I love your spirit man, Nice explaining

[@sabrod92]

Thank you for posting this video. I also live in Tucson and you make our city look amazing. Like wow we do not gotta go to LA,Ny,Fl,atl. I look up to you. Big inspiration. Anyone can do it if they put their heart into it.

[@joshgerber718]

Ooh I was waiting for this video, that was quick! :)

[@D4Darious]

[@funnelweb73]

I love your craft, inspirational!

[@almez4597]

Loving all your videos brah!

[@LuisMorales-qk7tx]

so great to watch this! i feel like its prepping me for seeing the short. Ill be able to see the little bits you pointed out. Also...was that the Lumix G7 in there? I feel like i saw the Lumix name quite a few times in the rig there. Thanks for sharing your process!

[@KevinVerresen]

Now we see all the work on your own 🤯😜 great bts

[@villane7427]

Awesome, love the stuff about the use of lighting and motivation behind it. That's where I need most improvement myself. I love the Voigtlander MFT lenses BTW, so far I've shot most everything with those, from the 10.5mm to 42.5mm.

[@ParkerThompsonVideo]

This was awesome! Thank you for sharing very useful information. Loved the actual film too.

[@pieterbee6129]

Amazing BTS. love it. watching the film now great work

[@rhiannonflorence1667]

yes !! keep it coming. turn stress into creation, best way to balance the imbalance, phycological proven.

[@WillRoyMedia]

You have the best BTS videos. Thank You so much for all you do your channel has impacted me and my channel more than you could know.

[@Gadgetsjon]

Thanks for sharing that, answers some of my questions. Great work!

[@shahabsaffari672]

My Hero, I learned a lot from you

[@imetvnj]

Outstanding work!
