Making the Batman film Hollywood won't

Friends we've released Batman Infinity! Go take a look here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3KkpKF5mZ2Zo80

[@reviewbomb85]

Hi Zack. I have a small review/reaction channel. Are you comfortable with me doing a review or a reaction to your movie?

[@Parrple]

Just want to say dude, it's a CRIME that you don't rake in the views. You are one of the very few who does something he loves and chases the art, rather than the algorithm! It's been amazing to follow your journey and I really hope, that people will wise up and eventually start pouring back in!

[@ZachRamelan]

Thank you so much, man; this comment meant the world. Thank you for noticing the effort that goes into this channel

[@Parrple]

@@ZachRamelan you deserve it, and I've been following you for many years and watched you be one of the very few not to give in. Those people that I looked upto while I was starting my journey all those years ago, they became consumed by the highest bidder. You stayed absolutely true to who you are. You experimented and show the art form for what it is - there aren't many people doing that anymore.

[@directedbyericsattler]

Agree. So much talent

[@stylezmorales]

the very second you said "ever had a passion project..." I was all ears, and to answer your question, YES. And now I'm totally intrigued to see how you guys put this together. I've been working on my concept which seems to be like years now, but finally I've been pushing through on the writing after building out my world. A little harder than using an existing world, but both are challenging. I'm excited to see this, paused for the cause and now let me watch this and I'll be back with my thoughts on this. I'm so pumped right now! hah LETS GOOOOO

[@stylezmorales]

@RebelPlanet1 not yet, I did see the trailer and def wanna check it out!

[@SteveDCM]

I’m an aspiring, filmmaker myself, and I’m shooting my first film in a couple of weeks, so you definitely gave me some tips! Thanks!

[@JackNolan_]

keep saying 'aspiring' youll be there forever

[@ColsonStudios]

This is amazing! I love making Batman fan films, thanks for the inspiration Zach!

[@ZachRamelan]

It's so fun! Also, I checked out your channel. Keep up the great work!

[@geoffreylane5606]

​@@ZachRamelanAre you going to have Batman wear the white contacts?

[@thekidflames]

Absolutely unreal, Zach. I don't just say this as a Batman lifer, but a cinephile. I love watching you passionately talk about doing what you love (and pick up a few tips along the way). Really stellar stuff. Can't wait to watch the final film! Bravo, brother! Keep it up and thank you for sharing! I know numbers don't mean much, at least not to true artists, but how you don't have millions of subs escapes me.

[@coreycasciano3255]

That suit is actually really damn good looking, bravo 👏 You can really tell that this man knows what makes a film good and that he overall loves film (something i can relate to) 👍

[@Emeraldman_Films]

You just inspired my creativity 100 fold!!! Thank you so much for making this!

[@SamMasghati]

Been following you for a while now. Your videos are true inspiration. This deserves a million views mate

[@ZachRamelan]

Thanks dude for the support Sam. Fingers crossed on that million!

[@Andalaeknir86]

Only thing i think doesn't fit either case is thst batman doesnt kill

[@stylezmorales]

That was siiiiick, not only did I love your take on a darker Dark Knight, but you gave me as an aspiring filmmaker some really helpful tips, I'm always looking to learn and to help find ways to tell my story. It's awesome to come across folks like you who brake down your passion and show people like me the ropes. I'm super excited about my pet project and I'm definitely taking notes from you guys. I just watched the straight short of this and man was that amazing. You guys are awesome keep crushing and keep killin it!!!! LFG!!!!!!

I'm buying a Fuji X-T3 to start my journey in filmaking. It's in large part thanks to you that I'm going into this without fear of messing up. I'm going to mess up, but now I feel good about learning from it. That sheer joy in your face and voice, combined with true optimism, really stands out from other filmmakers on KZbin. And your encouragement to do budget stuff and just use what you have has really opened my eyes to the possibilities of filmmaking. So thank you, Zach, for truly inspiring me!

[@Basisreallycool]

Mate I'm the same. I'm 16 but I'm buying a second hand Lumix S1h. I know I'm gonna suck but I just have to

[@daldanus]

​@@Basisreallycool That is such a beautiful camera! Much luck to you mate. Post your work and let people see it. My photography sharing philosophy (which I'll bring to my filmmaking) is, if my photo gets 9 likes, that's 9 strangers who saw my work and made the choice to show their appreciation. Again, I wish you luck and hope to see your work some time!

[@ZachRamelan]

Brother, this might be the best comment i've gotten on my KZbin Channel. I wanna print it and hang it on my wall. You are my inspiration. Go out and make stuff. If the project you just made sucks, go out and do another. Stoked to see what you and the Fuji make together. Congrats on the journey.

[@DiveTahoe]

Good for you guys this looks awesome. Also thanks for having his mask cover his mouth. I get it's not the classic batman look but it makes so much more sense for protection/anonymity.

[@_SoCalYellow_]

the batman in the movie is terry mcginnis, batman beyond, and his mask fully covers his face

[@holty1314]

Suit looks like the Arkham Knight Batman Beyond suit and for a $1000 budget that’s pretty good. The actor doesn’t look like Batman or Terry though

[@HenriqueHCA14]

Looks incredible, but after Spider-Man Lotus i can't put trust on ''high budget fan films'' anymore

[@Cinema_guy]

That’s an INSANE Batman suit

[@BTFilmz]

I love this, you guys stretch tf outta the budget in the best way

Very well done, Batman nailed it. Its hard to 'emote' with a mask on but, man does he bring a presence. I like how Zach breaks things down and admits mistakes.

[@aimparty396]

the best sound design i have ever experience keep up the good work i will learn a lot form it

[@LAME_TONY]

I think so many filmmakers are waiting for permission to make their movie/short film/content. It is so inspiring that you never ask permission, you just do it. The fact that you made this with a 1000 dollars is inspiring and shows your true creative potential. Also, I noticed you shot this on a sony fx3, which speaks to the fact that you don't need an arri, red, or high end cinema camera to achieve a cinematic look. Rather the focus on proper and creative lighting and amazing production design goes much farther than an expensive camera. Well done.

[@ZachRamelan]

Thank you so much!!!! This is exactly our philosophy Reagan

[@DonEBrooke32]

won't ya make one with DEATHSTROKE as the opposing force that Batman has to protect his city from? been dying for one of those since seeing the cinematic cutscene for that one Batman game.

I've been really getting into a bunch of short independent movies lately and alot of them are really crushing it. It's a compact, interesting takes and really well executed.

[@noneyabidness9644]

The fact that, out of all superhero films you could make, batman lends the most to this type of production values, makes it all the better. Dark environmenta, stealthy takedowns, rare fleeting glimpses of the terror in the shadows. That's ALL Batman.

[@zer0sinder]

Is this supposed to be a Batman Beyond treatment cause thats what th4 suit looks like considering the lights on the suit and lack of cape...

[@zer0sinder]

8:46 Ugh.... Nevermind you don't even realize it's a Batman Beyond suit... Modern "fans" getting into a fandom they barely know anything about just to get their foot in the door. *See star wars, star trek, rings of power, etc etc etc...

No. Not under a thousand dollars. You have to include all materials and equipment in yhat estimate there skippy.

[@darknightmeh1748]

I know right 😂😂, and he actually said for $100 not thousand. Imagine making something with no money to give to anyone who's giving you their time for days on end

[@lifted-Don]

A since of accomplishment to be able to put together a good quality low budget Batman film that you could be apart of

[@ZachRamelan]

The budget outside of gear was $1000. Every other expense was volunteered. You're right; I should share the cost that includes everyone's gear (to be honest i'm not even sure what that is). I don't want overwhelming budgets to discourage young filmmakers because the reality is, if you're a good person with good sets and tell good stories, you can get so much for $0.

[@justinsixx90]

So you doing Batman Beyond??

[@Ben-zr4ho]

Love the passion but I have to get a major pet peeve off my chest. With how cheap cameras are, (you can film a high quality film with an I Phone) with how little light you need nowadays to shoot with said cameras, the quality of video so you don't have to spend on film (and paying for film used to be the main cost for independent film makers of the past) the accessibility of getting your work out there. More tiny film festivals than ever and of course KZbin.is the real game changer. We should be experiencing an independent film making Renaissance unheard of in the history of film but if anything the opposite is true. Studios recycle ideas with the same old boomers that have been in charge for decades. 40, even 50 years. We should be having a French style new wave, a Chech, we should be having a repeat of the late 60s and 70s in America. Unfortunately this generation of young film makers are more interested in directing Batman fan films or at best Christopher Nolan style "cool" but artistically devoid style films. Basically it seems like we have a bunch of well... young dork filmmakers and very few artists. Plenty of wannabe Nolans and Spielberg's and very few Goddard or Von Triers or even Kubrick's. Not that there is anything wrong with Nolan and Spielberg. Nolan is fun as hell and Spielberg's done honest to God great films (Schindler, SPR) just watch Duel to see that Spielberg may have been born with more natural feel for film making than anyone who's ever lived but they are very much studio men. Here's the greatest opportunity in the history of film staring these independent filmmakers square in the face and they choose to make Batman fan films? Because that's what we need right? I mean there are too many original ideas out there right now. We NEED more remakes and reboots right? It just makes me sad. Again we should be in the midst of a Renaissance yet instead we are in the exact opposite place...

[@ZAZA_822]

This film is ironically a Batman beyond film 😂 the suit the atmosphere, man i wish i did movies like this
