Making This $0 Budget Music Video

[@Pabloamasifuenmusic]

And 2 years after... Noah has got a record deal, he just recorded and mastered his first single and is ready for tour. I love that guy he's so talented

[@Zoe-Mathilda]

I have a question, you say « his first single » but then what is this music video? Isn’t it a first single ?

[@maxi2307]

@@Zoe-Mathilda i think he means the first single under the label

[@ZSVisuals]

@@Zoe-Mathildameaning to say he created a song without producers for the first time

[@camerahack1986]

also the shots not having any movement really gives off that numb mood.

[@DannyGevirtz]

The double comment! Love this. Absolutely man I was loving it

[@FlashStrkr]

I won't lie, you breaking down a music video like this is so so important. Half the things you've described I've envisioned but never actually tested. You give me confidence to get up and make it.

[@taliebe]

have you made any yet?

This is what a viewer wants... No irrelative talking, no unnecessary activities, coffee making (🤣)... Just straight to the point, still engaging... Love your informative videos

[@ravigza]

Take any four scenes from this music video, at random, and boom, you've got front, back and inside cover artwork for a vinyl album I would buy just by looking the the cover. So blissful. Love it. Thank you for sharing Danny!

[@DannyGevirtz]

Amazing to hear that man thank you!!!

[@my2cents198]

Well done mate...static can be powerful .... so over everything shot on a gimbal and crazy transitions .

[@DannyGevirtz]

Absolutely!!! So glad you liked it! Yeah the song is so great. Noah is a beast

[@ZiRR0]

Seamless/Clean-cut transitions > crazy transition any day

[@mrsnoo86]

i'd prefer simple but powerful/beautiful static visual strike shoot and composition than smooth moving + smooth transitions.

[@YaYousef5]

Yeah like Daniel Schiffer's stuff. Motion sickness inducing. Plus it's going to look so cheesy and cringey in five years. That stuff doesn't age well. Remember all the crazy transitions and graphics in 80's videos? Does anyone look at that trash fondly nowadays? Danny has a really cool style that will stand the test of time. He envisioned a video based on the song and artist intent. So good.

[@dndwes6071]

[@maxlin3359]

Currently clicking away in the realms of KZbin trying to learn new things as a young filmmaker and aspiring music video director and I came across your channel with the "How I Lit This Music Video" joint and I was hooked. This is great advice and THANK you for sharing and inspiring not only myself but many young filmmakers to go back to basics and focus on what really matters in the composition and lighting of shots. Sub for sure!

[@DannyGevirtz]

Of course thanks so much Max!

[@MottaOW]

The sill shots feel like im looking at a moving picture (obviously that's the definition of a video - not what im trying to say). What I mean is that it feels like im peering into instant film that moves on its own and has it own breath of life. Very pleasing to look at!

[@DeviantGryphonFromTinyMoat]

Anyone: know any good artists? Me: I think I Noah Guy.

[@GuillePozzi]

[@yourdaddy3167]

Ok but the thing is you're really talented and super good at filmmaking

[@DannyGevirtz]

Haha while I appreciate that a ton you wouldnt be saything that if you saw my earlier videos. Thanks so much though dude.

[@Stuckin92]

I cannot describe the passion & positivity i felt listening to you describe your whole process. 😊

[@DannyGevirtz]

I love that so much! Thank you

[@TMarshallProductions]

Fantastic video, really love how the final product turned out. Sometimes simple is best! You manage to create some of the most organic/filmic looks from your C200 that I've seen. And I love your presentation style for your youtube videos, super informative but easy going, almost like talking with a friend. Keep it up Danny, I suspect your channel is going to blow up over the next year!

[@DannyGevirtz]

Such a great comment Thomas! Thanks so much for this. Definitely happy the talking is coming off that way. Always afraid too much of my face is boring, but thank you man! Appreciate this.

[@codyandvictoria]

Danny G putting out heater after heater! PS dude has some pipes 🎵🎶🎵

[@DannyGevirtz]

Hahaha Cody: “you just need to be more consistent” me: *puts out a video every single week the entire year.* Thanks homie. Noah is a beast man. Big things coming for him.

[@davidgevirtz2848]

Good music, golden hour, backlighting, and a tripod - what's not to like?

[@DannyGevirtz]

Amen to that! Gonna have to start spreading the word about the channel to your patients

[@footycheck]

You have a great warmness when your talking to the camera. love the video

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thats such a great compliment. Thank you so much

[@jacksonstone190]

I honestly just like how you feel more human than scripted robot. Please don't change. Just subscribed! ^_^

[@DannyGevirtz]

Haha I am very much a human being. Thanks so much. Xoxo

[@DatrysiadMedia]

Really like this. I'm shooting a small film for the first time and most is Static and some handheld for close up shots. There is no need to have the frame constantly moving, sometimes just a static emotive shot is all you need. Nice work !

[@DannyGevirtz]

Absolutely man! So glad to hear you agree. Appreciate you!

[@CasebyCaseProductions]

Really appreciate this. Next step in taking my music completely 'in house' is to learn how to make videos that don't look 'homemade.' This video was exactly what I was looking for. Keep up the good work! :) Subscribed

[@jaychesson1267]

Mate! I think you've just inspired me to try this look I've always wanted to shoot. Definitely just gained a sub!

[@DannyGevirtz]

Hell yeah dude! Thats what I love to see. Thanks for watching and following along!

[@thecreativeyouthsociety547]

Can we discuss how great that song was! Also that shot of him with the yellow hat against the blue sky was my favorite. Great work!

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thank you so much!

[@DactoarD]

Yes! Just did a $0 budget music video shoot for a friend that I am super proud of. Awesome tips and really just reaffirmed my process with a few extra nuggets of wisdom. I found myself nodding my head a lot like "yup, Danny knows!" Slowly making my way through all of your vids and smiling. Thanks man!

[@FaithlessFlight]

Like the power of silence, the framing and static nature of this composition says more without saying anything at all. Well done!

[@DannyGevirtz]

Couldn’t have said it any better! Thanks so much for this!

[@MikeLunc]

You really captured the way Noah feels the music. So dope 🙌

[@JayGrapherTh]

im so thankful for this. with all the fancy camera movements and crazy transitions its so nice to see something thats more minimalist , simple yet very refined and honestly looks better cause it doesnt need any extra FLUFF to distract the viewer and allows them to enjoy the nice music . though then again, it feels like this style wont work for every music genre but that's up to creativity :)

[@DannyGevirtz]

Yeah absolutely! Glad we’re on the same page! Haha yeah definitely a niche style which is a shame

[@PaulJayOrama]

First, the song is dope. I will definitively be checking out more of his work. Second, The video is art. Before your commentary, I noticed and enjoyed the locked off shots, the framing, and mood. Like you mentioned, younger filmmakers don’t do that often. Nothing wrong with movement and transitions, but there is something that feels pure about these types of videos. Awesome work bro.

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thank you so much Paul! Definitely check out Noah. He's just starting out and hes gonna be a star. But couldnt agree with you more. Dude it was so refreshing just locking the frame off man.

[@falconawesomeness1141]

Love it! Every single shot was amazing and could be a poster, the album cover, or a picture. That’s the level I want to get to. Every shot has meaning and intention. Beautiful work!!!

[@DannyGevirtz]

[@DannyGevirtz]

Dude thanks so much. It really is such a leap, but I'm sure you have the eye and tastes already. Now its just about learning the technical side of equipment which literally anyone is capable of, so you're gonna be just fine man.

Thank you again man 🙏🏼

[@chrismehmet3463]

DUDE! Loved the video man, like others have said it's super nice to see someone not overusing gimbals/rigs + using static shots instead. Really shows with good use of light, quirky compositions + beautiful grading amongst other things you can create something magical. Haven't been shooting video much (bit obsessed with film photography atm) + this has definitely inspired me to get back into video more

[@DannyGevirtz]

Chris thank you so much for the beautiful comment brotha. Appreciate you!

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thanks so much man! Glad you thought so

[@CamiloMarte]

Great video! This is a 0$ budget project, there's not crew, huge decorations or any of that. People don't create because they don't have the money enough, but you can create great stuff with your camera and your friends (that's the point of the video, find the concept and create). You can even use things from home, you don't need to buy with a huge budget (you can even use a Nikon d90 and create something beautiful, do not limit because you don't have an expensive camera). Keep it up. Subscribed!

[@DannyGevirtz]

I love the aspect ratio. As a new videographer I always have 16:9 in mind but this 4:3 just brings back that classic feel which is good for some content. Less movement really sell the video as well! Always need a gimbal to move around but I am open now to more than just a gimbal (tripod😅) nice video yow, I'm Definitely using this method for my next video.

Your wonderful story and insights were incredibly inspiring and eye-opening.
