Check out Clementine here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWfNhYl4Z6yafKM

[@ZachRamelan]

Had a blast making this one!! Would you be interested in another video like this?

[@theangelrod73]

Yes!

[@phambilitv]

Definitely.

[@stevenkralovec]

Heck yeah, love these kind of videos!

[@davon2623]

Keep ‘em coming!

[@SundayMusicVibes]

Great work and I learn alot here

[@phototommyfive]

I enjoy “the making of” videos, especially the conceptualization of stories and the decisions that lead to how things are sequenced and shot. Great video!

[@TheAaronalden]

Love the "making of" genre! So valuable to see the process Can't wait to see the film!

[@rexmikakka]

the scene of her coming down the stairs at 17:05 is sublime- the mood, the lighting, the talent, the colors. Such a beautiful shot. SO excited to see this film.

[@don-xl]

@Zach I am thoroughly impressed!!! All of this on an $8,000 budget?!! Really great!! Is Clementine out yet? Thanks for sharing your process for the project with you and your team. It's always great to see creatives being creative. Fantastic piece

[@summerthatcher3098]

LOVE how the projection on the wall behind your head is synced up with the other footage. Inspiring!

[@jemeastudios]

Have watched this like 3 times. Am a cinematographer and I love seeing what you did. Your set was just the best. I’ll love to see more. Everyday on set is a learning process . Hope to see more

[@michaeltorumedia]

Really appreciate having access to this BTS as I'm a growing filmmaker and this helps a lot!

[@MasonJarFilm]

I am in week 6 of film school rn and I will definitely be using this video style of voice-over on top of the BTS footage for my school film projects! Awesome video!

[@ZachRamelan]

Wooo so happy it inspired you 🤟

[@brandonrude]

This was great, looking forward to the next installments and can't wait to see the film.

[@markbone]

This is so cool Zach. Your channel is a total gem

[@ZachRamelan]

You are a total gem

[@IgnobleSon11]

Thanks Zach, I'm looking forward to the film.

[@xjazzbo]

appreciate this video- you dropped a lot of knowledge which i can relate to, especially the idea of "surrender filmmaking" . sometimes going with the flow has the best results!

[@illidanw2912]

So much fun to do it on a budget and working with a small team.🎉

[@GarthEnsley]

Yes please great to see all the moving parts

[@MisterG2323]

Looking forward to seeing the results! Will you be talking in any upcoming bts vids about securing/scouting locations?

[@mcproj5964]

I want to see the final result! I wan to see the full short film. Great video boss

[@peternyiricine]

[@JusTMuLaLo]

[@koenbrinkman]

This is so cool! KZbin algorithm just made me stumble upon this video, including one of my favourite cinematographers Nik!

[@ZachRamelan]

WOOO, thats awesome! Funny enough Nik is one of my FAVOURITE cinematographers too!!

[@MartinVlog444]

well done. Really enjoyed this....

[@DIHER87]

Epic! Thank you!

[@DanielHovdahl]

So cool! I'd love a "gear break down" and a reason as to why what the camera choice, lenses, filters and such were made in order to get the results you/DP wanted.

[@ZachRamelan]

I'LL chat with Nik and see if we can get him on camera!

[@DanielHovdahl]

@@ZachRamelan looking forward to it!!

[@legacylee]

big props bro! loved the film, was nice to get an inside look at how you guys put it together but also the process of working with a bigger team, I'm still a dolo mofo fo now heh

[@liamupfah2513]

Love these videos

[@aashandevakumar893]

Just a quick question. How would you able to make this short film in $8000 budget with Arri camera and heavy gear set up? If you could able to do a video about it, It would be helpful. Thanks in advance and amazing content.

[@AlexDerrick_DP]

congratulations on your film!

[@skylinecomics]

This is what great content looks like, it's inspiring and useful. If it is possible, I would like to know How many shots were planned and shot per day? What were the roles of the crew people on set? How long were your shooting days? And How was the budget distributed? Haha too many questions, sorry. Btw, I subscribed right away.

[@Jadesfishing]

Dope video Zach. So do we watch this movie on Netflix?

[@llIlllllIll]

most important thing for making a netflix film is letting someone unexperienced do the writing

[@TheJadedFilmMaker]

cool vid! but i will say... that dolly tho.... i just think unmotivated camera movement just does my head in .

[@bymatallana]

Beautiful!

[@Michi1997fran]

Thanks for the inspiration :D

[@MODESTYXO205]

What lens would you recommend for documentary/ vlog Content? Also, do you prefer the fx3 or the A7siii, canon r6 mark ii

[@BrightTangerine]

Great Stuff!

[@sunnyt383]

Thanks for sharing !

[@13579TV]

Thanks for sharing

[@MrTooFunny16]

Can we get a editing section added to future BTS? I learn so much from these

[@athousandsunny54.44]

Amazing

[@drasticmart]

Yes!!! More bts!!! Subscribed and inspired!

[@ZachRamelan]

Wooooooo

[@oraclemedia9266]

The answer to "what is the best angle for the scene" is coming by putting up the right question, which is: WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE SCENE? If u got that, then u know where to put the camera.

[@CaserioMediaGroup]

Yes

[@robsquad_films]

Nik is a great cine, I follow him on vimeo. Looking great!

[@tonysluna]

Great Video.. im enjoying it... What Follow Focus System you used?

[@focusmedia2465]

Liked, subbed, and ready for more! 🙌

[@arcakahn]

I wish you the best for the movie!

[@theindiefilmdude]

Making those mistakes in the long run is the best thing you can do. If you don't make any mistakes, you're just asking for ONE GIANT MISTAKE to happen, and then it's all over.

[@James-wm4tt]

I'd love to know what the brand of field monitor you're using? Cheers

[@sbvlogs4278]

Just opened this video after watching Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind ❤️

[@ShamellAntone]

great vid.

[@mychalsimmons4177]

VERY KOOL❤

[@farisghaisani]

Where i can see the final movie?

[@IlyEventide]

Heyy clementine, that’s like one of my 15 million aliases

[@clavicl64]

This was a great video! When will the movie be on Netflix?😏

[@anthonypc1]

Looks great. Reminds me of Ex Machina

[@AllenRReid]

Great insight...thanks for sharing.

[@ZachRamelan]

Glad it was helpful!

[@quickpickle]

Where can I see this film?

[@RileyChurchman]

What was the follow focus that was used?

[@jw0w757]

what program did you use for the vfx?

[@axel_dhn]

where can I see the movie ?

[@OllieTheFirst]

Good video :). Why yall calling the slate with MOS? It's easier to just grip through the clapper with your fingers in my experience :D

[@daviferreira8771]

Does anyone know where the final result is?

[@sushinskiy]

Thank you for this video =)

[@caseynewel356]

how did you get Netflix on board? Did they give you funding?

[@neilfpv]

Amazing! I'm looking at the monitor with the guy in front of it. It's already color graded. I don't have enough experience in this area. Why does it look like it's color graded? Great job Zach!

[@raksh9]

They might have used a monitoring LUT in the external display/recorder.

[@neilfpv]

@@raksh9 Got it. Thank you.

[@ZachRamelan]

Yes!

[@TooSmooth]

Sick video man!

[@ZachRamelan]

Thank you

[@floriancastellssecours449]

Hello ! Very nice vidéo with a lot of learning points. hoewever, i don't see any explaination about a Netflix production style..

[@alistercheng]

🥳

[@TomSt...]

Congrats🎊You won a mystery Box 🎁 and thanks so much for commenting INBOX ME ON TELEGRAM TO REEDEM YOUR PRIZE...💌

[@seven7hsine]

$8000 budget before or after purchasing all that equipment?

[@vsmochent]

Wow we're still together! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Slap in your shoulder. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@mezza001]

Cool. I had a wild roller coaster ride when producing 13 episodes tv series! Very stressful and I swore I will never be in tv or film production again. Then the next job comes around I am like. . . .ok.. . .let's go. . . . .

[@ZachRamelan]

Bhahaha I’ve been there!

[@ZachRamelan]

Good luck!

[@qwaeofficial]

What is "Netflix style"?

[@expresateaudiovisual]

GREAT

[@brandon9916]

Where can I find this movie?

[@ZachRamelan]

It's not released yet! But I might share a secret link soon. Stay tuned

[@Leftyofficial]

im literally watching the BTS before watching the film lol

[@nathangirard9715]

Where can we watch it?

[@ZachRamelan]

Still finding a home for the film, but will hopefully have something soon (:

[@strugglingboyz4782]

Sir which camera you use for this video sir please say sir

[@ZachRamelan]

Lots of cameras: The actual movie was Arri and Sony A7siii Talk to camera FX3 BTS: Fuji?

[@tbip2001]

Really good video. Wish the bts stuff was a little longer though.

[@ZachRamelan]

Thank you! The next vid will have more 💪

[@theeditorrestrial]

apparently it doesnt take much (well you have to be up someone in Netflix's butt) to get on netflix..have you seen 28 Days Haunted. The other thing is if you seriously want to get your flick to Netflix you have to have an in the trench agent, otherwise you wont be considered unless you risk it and send unsolicited submission. On the positive side, looks like your crew is producing a top notch product and good luck with that.

[@ezradlionel711]

"Netflix style" So happy I burned my Dictionary. Not ever gonna need it again.

[@alphafilms_at]

interesting bts. I miss more info on the sound part as it also plays a massive role and is often not treated as it should be imo.

[@waterproof4403]

This is better than netflix

[@ZachRamelan]

If you've received a message from me saying you've "WON a CAMERA PRIZE," IGNORE IT! THIS IS SPAM. I'd love to give you a camera prize, but unfortunately, not today. DO NOT message me on TELEGRAM, I DO NOT have TELEGRAM.

[@FelixCervantes]

Exactly how can you do a Netflix movie if you are using an Arri Amira? Last time I checked, that camera is not approved for Netflix.

[@ZachRamelan]

Hey Felix, the Amira has been used for Netflix films! The Ivory Game is an example of that! Also, our film was shot on the A7siii (the same sensor as the FX3), Which is an approved camera. Finally, this is more about the process than the camera. Hope that helps (:

[@harshitbongarde9894]

where is your movie link

[@ZachRamelan]

It’s not released yet! Soon though 🤟
