Mondays: The Importance of Editors & How Competitive is the Film Industry

[@bcG324]

Especially with the new look, would it be at all possible to see a tutorial on how you made the intro and the other logos/graphics of the show?

[@Kieth1998]

This is a really good idea! :D

[@TasmanDevil13]

When is the next Monday Challenge happening ?!

[@JaimeMaldonado]

Any updates on Intercept?

[@Chribit]

Need some too please.

[@hrvoje_bazina]

I said it last week and I am going to say it again. I miss Josh interrupting you :D

[@noobeliminator109]

Dobro

[@jakemillar234]

Hrvoje Bazina I watched your ebay film ahaha, it was good :)

[@hrvoje_bazina]

Jake Millar Thanks :)

[@sacredoath3167]

Hrvoje Bazina That's what I said on the first Epic Summer episode. :)

[@hrvoje_bazina]

UltronHacker00 I can understand why they didn't want it on Epic Summer, but know when it came back to normal I really miss it :)

[@Kaiji008]

RYAN! I'm from Colorado and my student film "THESEUS" will be showing at the Mile High Horror Film Festival as well! If you plan on attending, I'd be honored to meet up! Watch your show religiously, you speak truth :)

[@ReelHavoc]

Well this was a cool surprise! Thanks Mr. Connolly, glad you liked the short!

[@vlad_dimov]

Nice to hear about your personality and passion for filmmaking Ryan. Best wishes to you and your team. Looking forward to seeing Intercept! Film Riot

[@kendrashapka]

Preach Brotha! It really is a little discouraging to see the Film Industry has become more about the money and power and less on passion and creativity, and collaboration and fun and all the really important aspects of filmmaking. Glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks so. Thank you Ryan!

[@LostUtopiaFilms]

7:01 THIS. I totally agree, the journey is as good (and sometimes better) than the destination when chasing a dream.

[@Kieth1998]

For the past few month I've been struggling with the decision of whether or not I should go after a career in film because I know the chances of me actually getting into the film industry are so small, but what you said about "the pursuit of making a film" just made my brain click and now I know what to do 👍 Thanks Ryan!

[@anti_MATT_er]

I like how you take specific Q/A and broaden them.

[@quinnrsligo]

The new Film Riot look and KZbin look both go really well together

[@LudemanProductions]

Hey Ry. I have a question for you about the 180 degree shutter rule. Is this something you absolutely abide by or do you make exceptions?

[@ofilantvanderplas]

You can make exceptions, but then it's really important to establish the environment of the scene.

[@CraigBickerstaff]

Ludeman Productions For future reference there is a massive difference between the 180 degree rule also known as crossing the line and a 180 degree shutter, there is no such thing as a 180 degree shutter rule.

[@paulocone1963]

Ludeman Productions You can make exceptions to go for a certain effect. Ryan's talked before on this show about how you can raise the shutter speed to make the footage feel more jerky.

[@WallaceAyers]

What everyone else said

[@WarTornProductions]

8 Films i was going to answer him aswell but they took the words out of my mouth..

[@EricLefebvrePhotography]

Couple of things! 1- Wow! You look exhausted! 2- Can't wait for Intercept. 3- Thanks for reading my question! 4- Can you name your child after me? 5- Is Emily going to appear on FR or any of your shorts in the near future? 6- Good luck with the little baby! It's quite life changing (mine is 4 years old).

[@johancronisk3405]

I like how you think of it a pursuit of happiness rather than breaking into an industry.

[@JustinHavey]

Awesome episode as always. Question for you: Have you guys ever thought of building the community even further by utilizing something you already have? Like your website? Adding a forum where us filmmakers can connect with one another, interact with you guys at film riot, get feedback and have a central hub where this tight-knit community can interact even more? Just a thought. I would love to see something like that. There truly aren't many highly active and fun filmmaking communities out there right now.

[@dylanbrindley8745]

hey i just thought i would say thanks for all the videos u put out it really helps me with what i want to do more clear i am planning on going to full sail for a doctorate in producing and video editing from cali ur video are really amazing u guys do an amazing jobs with everything u put up keep up the good work.

[@jordangarcia2272]

Love the show, been watching for years! 2 things I'd live to make a comeback are Bloodtober and the Film Riot challenges

[@walkyeskwakfut7622]

thanks Josh

[@Mayala285]

has anyone notice the gernade on the left of the video

[@madnessbydesignVria]

If you don't love working in this industry, it will grind you down. If you do love it, it will still grind on you - but you'll love the grind (yeah, I went there)... :)

[@JennyMercieca]

will you guys be announcing when international shipping in physical merchandise will be available from the Triune Store again?

[@the13thwolfman]

I love this channel always have Could you please show some editing tricks using different programs such as final cut, Premiere Elements 13 and others.

[@0dreligion807]

Would you have to try out the the process of filmmaking to truly know if your passionate about it?

[@justinusami5411]

Film Riot Dear Mr. Seniõr Ryan-san, I am looking for an AD, and I was wondering what 3 key things I should look for aside from knowledge and skill. Thankies!

[@Instepstudios]

Great tips, thank you!

[@jonathanalfred446]

Love u Film Riot !.. Same passion.. Same love for filmmaking ! Continue to make videos you re sincerly the best youtube chanel i know.. #FromBelgium

[@stationmixer]

If you could buy any camera, which will it be?

[@negativefilms3255]

So what happened to that short film Intercept?

[@damiancampbell9410]

It got plat poned

[@irongolem202]

Hey guys, I'm a big fan of the show especially tutorials and was wondering when they will be back

[@jacenk]

true thoughts once again sir, kudos

[@TheLifeofParker]

Are you going to be at the showing Ryan? I live 5 minutes away from the draft house. It would be sick to meet you. My film festival I won with my buddy was held there. My friend and I won best film overall and best sound/editing aka the craftsmanship award.

[@jackhayes9289]

Ryan, If you could reshoot a entire film, which film would it be?

[@vegmeat2344]

hii.. rayan please can u make a episode on sponsorship and how to approach them

[@CZsWorld]

Editors unite.

[@rainbow28453]

Yes!

[@anykindmankindof8333]

Hey, where is intercept? You say that it will show up in august by the way.

[@AdHdEntertainmentLLC]

Love the Goonies shirt!

[@hunterthompson6482]

Question: How do you get your actors?

[@sjoerdsiemes]

Hey Ryan, i know that you work with Adobe and Windows (me to) But here is my question. I'm thinking of buying an Blackmagic Pocket camera but how does it work with (apple) Prores?

[@Jimmy_the_director]

I love the show

[@EmpireStudiosLLC]

All super solid advice. That being said, who in the world gave this video a thumbs down? Please let me know.

[@alejandroterrazas2982]

What's your opinion about actors who are becoming directors?

[@uploadvfx3727]

Hey Ryan, just wondering. Where do you get all the music for your films? I keep looking on the internet for like a movie music pack but can't find one, any suggestions?

[@lincolnstone1126]

Would you recommend camcorders, like the Sony handycam, etc. to someone without the budget for a dslr?

[@MarimbaMaurice]

Lincoln Stone Yes! Equipment isn't the most important thing. Just start out!

[@christinemorse3987]

I have to agree with getting rid of the ugliness that comes with any business...The thing I have found at least with the independent side of film making that a lot of people want to help & support you and see you reach your dreams. I would love if that was the case in any business but especially in the arts

[@5DiceProductions000]

Hey Ryan, what places should a young filmmaker go if they are going to be in California? (Besides Universal, ha ha because that is a given).

[@dinosaurfilms7425]

I can't concentrate when Wilson is staring into my soul.

[@christopherstephens9550]

Have you ever participated in a 48 hour film, if so how was your experience? In your opinion do 48 hour films prepare you for a life of filmmaking?

[@SuperSpoon25]

Are Monday Challenges coming back after the Epic Summer is over?

[@richiearkarich]

Film Riot hey ryan i wanted to ask u this...say if i want an underexposed look to my film should i do it on set or in post? cos i was reading somewhere that though it is said that one should get 90% of the thing done on set but shooting in flat color gives us a better range in post while color correcting and grading..els a darkly lit image will get more darker..?? kinda confuesd..

[@vernonfowler7880]

Hey guys had intercept been released yet??

[@alexmelillo1247]

Vernon Fowler not yet, Andrew Krammer is still working on it

[@vernonfowler7880]

OK thanks bro

[@mattw6442]

Hey Ryan, How's it fryin? I wanna do a shot where an actor is flung through the air and into into a dark room. Any ideas on how I can do that?

[@juanuslalala]

Oh Dammmit. I love you man!

[@byrdfilms9590]

Quick question ummmmm where's intercept? just wondering :)

[@rdoetjes]

I consider myself semi-pro videographer (filmmaker is a tall order) and through my work I get more requests but the pay is sooooo poor compared to my work as a freelance IT consultant in Identity Management that I only pick up those jobs that I creatively love or are a challenge. I would not live under a bridge to make films, not when I could own that bridge doing IT consulting which is (and I mean this) far less hardwork and far less stressful.

[@thenewnewsmen6523]

Guys what happened to Monday challenges

[@JR14964]

Hey Ryan, Me and some friends are trying to shoot a short film on a 0-25$ budget, what is your take on little to no budget movies?

[@picothatguy-o]

i don't know if this is the place to ask, but is there a way i can change the color of a specific object on imovie without altering anything else?

[@mohawkade]

What? Will this mean you'll be attending your showing in Colorado? If so, I would love to meet you, even if it's just to briefly shake your hand and tell how much of a fan I am!

[@LarsTechTipsDe]

Helicopter exploding? Thanks for reminding me to put that into my school movie. ;D

[@jessek4550]

Hold on! Make sure before you have the helicopter explode, some badass jumps out of it

[@jessehickson]

Jesse K holding a basket full of kittens.

[@thegreatautismo9908]

Jayson Hickson Genius!

[@jessehickson]

yeah. I'm gonna be a great film maker.

[@damiancampbell9410]

These are the type of people I want to work with

[@DubCodes]

whats the best free way to start acting, and what if you have...... trouble starting something because of resource, confidence, overthinking???? also i have a script and my friends say it's good but i dont want to jump into it, how do i know im ready to produce something great???

[@paulocone1963]

DubCodes Acting IS free. I don't understand your question.

[@TheCreativeYeti]

where is the best place to find film competitions to suit film makers with low budgets? (apart from Monday challenge)

[@paulocone1963]

TheCreativeYeti At www.filmfights.com of course!

[@the.man.from.toronto]

You have a good eye, I've seen your films & shorts. I wish you tired a bit harder during this Film Riot Monday sessions. Your lighting is can be greatly improved. ...and you're wearing a hat! Sigh. Come on Ryan, you can crush this. I know you can. ...and don't give me that "ohh, we're in a rush" BS. You can do it, I believe in you!

[@fudgecakeman]

Oh yeah, I'm sure u could do much better. Who cares dude? It's not a feature film. Get over it

[@JonnyRaby]

Monday challenge pleaaaaaaseeeee :)

[@maxprendergast7920]

Yo Ry, was wondering if you could do so matrix Solo mo effect godness

[@MrNinja897]

Life goal complete... Be in the under 301 club on a film riot video.

[@ParadoxdesignsOrg]

The first thing I do before watching a movie is checking who the director and editor(s) is and what else he or she has made. You'd be surprised how many movies get super low ratings just because of crappy actors even though the directing and editing is right on part.

[@Atomicreator]

If I was to film a short movie, what do you think is the best frame rate to film in? Thanks

[@LostUtopiaFilms]

Atomicreater ! 24 fps

[@jonathanstringer2852]

3D (as in 3D glasses) tutorial???

[@DiegoCarrales]

where's intercept?

[@priyalilly1990]

Does the director edit his/her film, or does he have other people doing it?

[@SpartanCrewGaming]

Ryan you awesome:)

[@jumpsplat120]

I probably WILL be sleeping under a bridge soon enough to pursue it. :D

[@samjj1869]

When's that magic goodness called Andrew Kramer gonna release intercept?!

[@327kayla]

i wanna make an action movie, can you give me some tips or diy equipments? cause like, it is a VERY low budget film, like seriously low budget.

[@paulocone1963]

josephine l I probably wouldn't recommend making an action movie on a SUPER low budget, which Ryan just talked about in this video: plan/write for your limitations. That being said, there are a TON of tutorials on this KZbin channel, and many other channels and websites.

[@adamroberts5488]

Hi Ryan could I send you my film projects too you for constructive criticism

[@iwinTVfilm]

Hi.. Ryan thx for video ..i wanna to.got to.change a video.background 3d real life..how can you.shoot a crib or bar scene with out going to.crib or bar to.shoot..

[@walkingwithjerry]

hey Ryan say i have a script that i think is real good. at what point should i get a copyright? and should i do it myself or should i take it to a copyright lawyer?

[@paulocone1963]

Walking with Jerry Anything that anybody makes is AUTOMATICALLY copyrighted. So if you wrote a script, it's copyrighted. You can register the script, which gives you more protection, but it's copyrighted regardless of that.

[@MrFamousBroMan]

Intercept?

[@1BigBucks1]

In sum, do as Vanilla Ice does- Stop, Collaborate and Listen.

[@AustenLane]

Hey!

[@WallaceAyers]

Hey!

[@maxjones503]

How can I ask questions?

[@paulocone1963]

generalz Film Riot has a question thread on Facebook whenever they want questions.

[@GaryFlyerFilms]

So uhh, where is Josh?

[@Rockysbeats]

if i was to film a scene where the character does a poo in his hands and throws it in the air what would be the best angle?

[@RADFLIKINCRRQT13]

Love your guy's show. So informative and entertaining at the same time but i must say something that i find myself saying a lot.. And that is that no matter how competitive something is i feel that if you are talented and have a certain know how and understanding of the process, you will be discovered and calls will come in. The film industry is a business at the end of the day and they want to invest but only into promising returns. So especially with todays strong web presence and social media, we as artists should throw stuff out there and try and make comnections. And the talented ones will end up with favored results. The others, just never had it. Bottom line.

[@114craigallan]

Where is "INTERCEPT"

[@dobil6815]

Film Riot Video Copilot Intercept ??????? still waiting excitingly...

[@ericellerbrock9350]

Andrew is now 3 weeks overdue, bring it man!

[@randycadkins]

Hey Mr Ryan, I'm new to acting but I don't want to do anything else, my question is how would you go about finding a camera man, or women, I'll just call them camera people.

[@paulocone1963]

randycadkins I'm a little confused. Do you want to be an actor or a director? If you want to act in films or the stage, you look for auditions.

[@randycadkins]

Paul Ocone I am actually doing both at the moment, and I am nowhere near a professional, but as it is hard to find people of the arts in my area, I was curious as to how to go about finding directors as well as camera people, I don't know who you are, but thanks for the reply...

[@vinylnutter]

Have you thought about using youtube as a filming outlet.

[@paulocone1963]

Vinylnuts What you you mean? KZbin IS their filmmaking outlet.

[@vinylnutter]

I did not say filmmaking

[@paulocone1963]

Vinylnuts What do you mean by "filming outlet" then? That doesn't make much sense.

[@MatiasZeni]

Wow, under 15 views, incredible

[@GaryTurbo]

I'm going to learn acting from Dustin Hoffman and writing from James Patterson from masterclass.com

[@MarshallGTV]

Please bring back creepy Netflix guy.. Please, please.. One of my favorite characters.. Completely reminiscent of poltergeist with dark comedy.. Could be a great short film??

[@kapter94]

Hi Ryan, tell me how to fake sunrise. I love to sleep, so it'll be hard to get up so early. Pleeeeeeeeease!

[@BrunoZub]

You always speak that fast or its just when you are recording?

[@DMIwriter]

***** When you're an online media content creator, you're cursed with the fact that the average internet audience has an extremely short attention span. So you *have* to be quick.
