All of the behind the scenes footage used in the video was from a film I wrote produced, and directed Called Seafood Tester. I own all the rights for that film and any footage used in it. There are no other legal entities, companies, investors or distributors who have any stake or claim to the footage.
I financed the film
The music and sound effects are from mixcraft 6 which I own a license for and can be used for commercial purposes. Acoustica is the company that owns the mixcraft 6 sound product. Below is a link that explains that license holders can use music and audio for commercial use

One of the very best long pauses I have ever seen is in the movie Flight. When Denzel Washington walks away from the vodka bottle on the hotel mini fridge, and the bottle stay in full view for a long time. It builds that tension, that makes you perceive how strong alcoholism affects the character. That’s a proper long pause.

Here's one: writing dialogue that a character wouldn't believably say, or micromanaging dialogue until it comes across as forced. One of the best tips I heard was to let actors ad-lib small talk because that's how small talk is actually made. Feel free to film it, too, that way you have more context to work with. Don't, for example, just write the punchline to a joke that doesn't have a wind-up and then expect the actors to organically react to it.

Very good advice. I worked in Hollywood for many years, usually as an extra. This is a very helpful video for anyone planning to make a movie. The only thing I might add is to avoid exposition, which is telling the story instead of showing it. An example might be having a character who is on the phone and who says something like "What's that? You say you met someone who knew your grandma in Transylvania and he thinks you are related to Count Dracula... and he is coming over to the house tonight? And he will arrive about 6 PM when the full moon is coming up and he will be wearing a tuxedo?"

About filming in a small apartment.. I'm no film maker but i think using a wide angle lens helps in giving the shot more depth (don't go overboard though, no fisheye unless you'r filming the effects of drugs or something). And when selecting lens for the shot, consider aperture to get that shallow depth of field that keeps focus on what's important. P.S. fantastic flick, though I really did learn a lot :)

Darious, you speak very well and were informative and helpful. Thank you very much for sharing and helping us learn. Luckily we do apply most of these concepts with our skits but you definitely gave me a few things that I can improve on in the future. It was helpful how you showed examples of what you were talking about.

I think one exception to the "Too much chit chat" rule is a Tarantino film. His films tend to have long scenes of "chit chat" but the dialogue is so good that you don't mind listening to it.

And Rohmer, and Jarmusch, and Ozu, and Tarkovsky, and Wenders, just to name a few. Darius was too liberal by saying dont use too much chit chat, but I think he ment dont use too much chit chat that doesnt mean anything or add to the film. Tarantino likes to use long dialogue driven scenes, but his "chit chat" becomes the story, substance, and high suspense points in his film.

Holy hell! I tried 9 times to watch this and KZbin would randomly throw me over to a B&H video called "15 Mistakes People Make When Taking Photos (and How To Correct Them)". LOL! Anyway, this just became one of my favs, and answers so many questions I get asked about "Hey. what's wrong with my video?" Thank you...you just saved me about 2 hours a week making this. :)

These past few days I’ve been watching a lot of videos giving advice on film stuff… and my ideas for future films are already so much better lol. I changed the generic opening scenes for two films I plan to make and I think they’ll turn out sooooo much better! Thanks for the advice, this was an amazing video!

15:33 I think a lot of filmmakers both amateur and professional should take that advice. Can you imagine if the Coen brothers had ruined No Country For Old Men by filling it with the cheesy music you hear in most action films these days? Awesome video, greetings from Australia.

Great video! Another hot tip for set dressing is two-tone walls. Paint a chair rail and mix some white paint in with your colour for another tone. It acts as sort of an indoor horizon and accentuates where you place your camera, in addition to spicing up your background without adding clutter.

Excellent Video, although I dislike the ring light in your eyes - but I think the camera positioning and look is awesome and you are arguably one of the best presenters I've ever seen - the interesting movement, where's wally shirt, you have personality and charisma in bucket loads - keep up the great work.
