Love how much effort you put into preproduction but still had to improvise on set, just mean you’re doing it right, your style, your vision, and you’re making it work! Continued blessings for you and your team on this project.

[@jalenspencerfilm]

Some ideas/ shots stick but my shortlists and storyboards are pretty much for getting moods right and safety incase nothing is working at this point lol. Having a team of creatives helps tremendously. Thank you so much man!

[@warriorwithin9310]

That's how all the great one started so I think you are on the right track. Most people who are talking about making a movie just talk. You are doing it so kudo to you brother.

[@andreameo]

this video is wonderful for an indie filmmaker. Greats from southern Italy man. Alway share your magic

[@jalenspencerfilm]

That’s a joy to hear! I’m glad this series is still reaching indie filmmakers like myself. Shoutout to southern Italy!! 🇮🇹 🫡

Love it. Film is looking beautiful. And that Nan tube light is a great tip. I’m gonna look to get one of off this.

[@jalenspencerfilm]

Nice! Thanks a lot Charles!! Nanlites are dope.

[@DANAMIONLINE]

Much success brother on this film. I want to encourage you to continue putting in the work and being vulnerable and honest.

[@jalenspencerfilm]

I appreciate the kind words brother!

[@anthonygphoto6225]

Great work man your really getting everything out of those tube lights. i cant wait to see whats next keep grinding!

[@jalenspencerfilm]

Man. They’ve been a real revelation to me at this point in my filmmaking journey. For the short narratives and small specs that I do now they’re perfect for me.

[@MsRobstar]

Love your spirit! Keep up the great work 🙏🏾❕❕❕

Thank You!

[@ericbiegel2752]

Glad to see you're actually getting the opportunity to make a film! How did you manage to get the project together? Where did you find the actors and crew that you needed? Friends? Family?

[@jalenspencerfilm]

Thanks man! Me and my friend Terrell have actually been trying to make films since 2018, each one getting a little better than the next. Yeah we pretty much use all friends, family, or people we’ve made connects with doing other projects with. Asking around for favors and locations. The whole low budget indie ordeal haha.

[@ericbiegel2752]

@@jalenspencerfilm Nice. I'm still at the "doing-everything-yourself" stage with my short films. Hopefully one day I'll get to your level. The content and tutorials you put out definitely help that to becoming closer to a reality for me, so I appreciate it. You say you've done other short films in the past? Care to share?

[@jalenspencerfilm]

@@ericbiegel2752 I’m not too far away from doing most things myself still tbh but I am fortunate to have likeminded creative friends to make projects like this with. This comment means a lot man and I’m hella glad these videos are helping you in someway! You can check out the films we’ve made here kzbin.info/aero/PLuaJvIHcJ3WCPlSj_hpN2qmw8lXQnGDyZ ! 🙏🏾

Awesome video! Where can I find that storyboarding application?

[@jalenspencerfilm]

Thank You! It’s an app called “Previs Pro”

Thank you bro!

[@larionszilasi2964]

Epic! The image kinda looks like its from Euphoria 😃 I wish you the best! If your description is accurate about the items you used, you didnt even have to break the bank for such a cinematic look! Btw I cant see the tubes on the description, so if you would add it it would be great!

[@jalenspencerfilm]

That's the second time I've got the Euphoria comment lol Im thinking its the soft shallow dop of that 50mm Takumar. Love that thing. Yep that's pretty much it. A few tube lights, a pocket led panel, and an sl60w. And yeah I can add them, the thing is Amazon affiliate program keeps deleting my account for whatever reason. Appreciate the kind words!

[@larionszilasi2964]

@@jalenspencerfilm thank you very much for the answer! I can see you updated the gear list! :) your channel is actually very useful for low budget indie filmakers, I just subbed. I cant wait to see the final product!

[@olegpankiv499]

This is amaizing! So interesting what will be in final resoult. You are so talanted! Can u pls say, what is a full name of app u used for storyboard?

[@jalenspencerfilm]

Hey thanks a lot!! The app is called Previs Pro.

[@FUTUREINFINITYWORLD]

dope. get a s1h. will make your work a lot easier!

[@jalenspencerfilm]

I’m pretty use to Blackmagic cameras and enjoy using them. Who knows maybe I’ll pick up and s1h and test it out in the near future. What do you like most about the s1h over bmpcc?

[@FUTUREINFINITYWORLD]

@@jalenspencerfilm better low light shots. Easier to get shots you want quicker. Internal image stabilization. Ergonomics of the camera, smaller file sizes , 2 to three hour battery life, full frame, only Netflix approved mirrorless camera, shoots amazing photos. too much stuff to mention.

[@FUTUREINFINITYWORLD]

Pair an s1h with a dzo Vespid prime Lens or a Siriui anamorphic t 2.9 lens. You won’t regret it

[@jalenspencerfilm]

@@FUTUREINFINITYWORLD Thanks for the info! Tbh I haven’t really done any extra camera research since I got the BMPCC4K in 2020. Meets all my personal needs for short narratives for now. Definitely gonna look more into the S1H when I go to upgrade or rent.
