Nice Video. I find the comments below rather interesting. As a producer who made a low-budget indy film, and then licensed it to Netflix as a Netflix Original, and then DELIVERED the movie to Netflix with my wife, here is my two cents: you do need to pay attention to the specs when you are shooting. Our movie TREES OF PEACE hit the top 10 in 60 countries within 5 days of release, and it was released in 191 countries, in 32 languages in June 2022. We didn't know who we were going to license/sell the movie to when we made it, but Netflix was my main target because it allows my movie to be in front of 230 Million people worldwide. Full disclosure, I decided to shoot with Sony Venice and Rialto, because I was able to get the camera due to the contacts/kindness of Sony. But, if that didn't happen, I was going to shoot with Alexa. What I find among a lot of indy filmmakers is, most of them don't know how the distribution works, or delivery works, and they don't really plan for what happens after the movie is done. They just focus on making the film, and then they hope and pray it sells. Most of them don't even budget for the delivery, and delivering the movie to any distributor is NOT CHEAP. Delivering the movie to Netflix was extremely tedious, and their requirements are very stringent. Netflix delivery team was a dream to work with, but passing picture QC and sound QC is no joke. So put aside money in your budget because delivery will cost you money when you sell the movie. Now having said that, you DO HAVE to make a great film, or none of this tech stuff matters. An expensive camera in the hand of someone who does not know how to use it properly is worthless, and a skilled DP can make a $3k camera with some nice cinema lenses look like an amazing piece of art. So, focus on hiring a skilled cinematographer and gaffer, because the lighting is everything. Do Not skimp on hiring a great audio guy, because the sound is EVERYTHING. Now, back to the distribution topic. Can you sell a low-budget movie that isn't very well-shot on Netflix? Sure, that happens sometimes because of the subject matter, or awards run, but you most definitely went the aggregator route to put it on Netflix, and you most probably didn't recover your budget for your investors. That happens more often than you think, sadly. The game in Hollywood is heavily stacked against us indy filmmakers, and trust me on this. 90% of low-budget indies without named stars don't make money. There is a clear difference between a Netflix Original (by the way, you don't have to work for Netflix or be commissioned by Netflix for it to be a Netflix Original)...and movies that end up on Netflix on a 2-3 year licensing deal, but trust me, you did not recover your budget in that type of scenario. (There is always an exception to this, but those are one in a million scenarios) You basically had to give the movie away, just so you can tell people my movie is on Netflix. The problem is anyone who knows the business, and is an insider, will look your movie up, and instantly know what kind of deal you got. Btw, we had no ties to Netflix and I equity-funded the full feature, and yes, my investors are very happy with the return. Our movie launched multiple careers in Hollywood, and my wife and I paid everyone but didn't pay ourselves a dime out of the budget for 3 years while we produced this movie. Of course, now we will benefit due to the success of the film, but it took a tremendous amount of work to get this film made, and licensed. Now one may say, who cares about Netflix, there are others, but Netflix is your biggest and best option for indy filmmakers. HBO, Hulu, Disney, apple+, paramount+....try selling them your low-budget film and let me know what MG you got, IF they took your film at all. It's a sad state of affairs. Yes, you can go the Tubi route, but you def won't get an MG, and good luck getting your budget back based on ad rev share. Now if you have a big-name A-list star in your movie, it's a completely different game. But, how many indy filmmakers can bring an A-list star to the table on a low-budget indy feature? I always say if you fail to plan, you are planning to fail. So plan to sell your movie to Netflix, use the camera that meets their specs, and make the most amazing film you can make. Now, why did I write this novel here? As I was reading some of the comments below, I realize a lot of people that are saying things, or giving advice, have not actually sold a film to Netflix or anyone for that matter. If their movie was sold, they don't know the math behind it for sure and don't know if their investors got any money back. So I thought I would chime in. I hope this helps. I am not putting anyone down, just trying to help. I get the struggle 100%, and knowledge is power. The life of an Indy filmmaker is extremely tough, and making and selling a low-budget indy film is like hitting the lottery. So, to sum this book up, make a great film, use really good actors, and use Netflix approved camera because when you go to sell/distribute it, even if you sell it to someone else besides Netflix, the specs will help you with the distribution and their QC requirements. I wish everyone on this thread much success. Go make the most beautiful film you can, because, in the end, it's definitely worth it. This was a very nice video btw. Thank You.

Thanks for this comment first. Second, what's the name of this movie you produced? Third. I've worked with a few producers that have sell projects for Netflix and what they say is that selling a movie yourself with no distribution company is basically impossible, how did you get this done? And for last, most of the people searching this kind of info are struggling to do a small movie, thinking of getting one of this camera means they won't do the movie ever. So basically i believe people should focus on getting the movie made first and after 1 or 2 tries they will learn what is needed to get enough budget for the big one.
@rrfilmproduction1084 Жыл бұрын
@@riffbaama The movie I produced is called TREES OF PEACE. You can find it in any country on Netflix since it's considered a Netflix Original. I always say people don't fail because they lack resources, people fail because they lack resourcefulness. As an independent filmmaker, you need to think outside the box. Build a small team of experts. For example, find a DP who owns one of these cameras, find a sound guy who owns his own sound gear, make them co-producer with you, and share future profits with them. Find some really passionate good actors, and go shoot the film. None of this is easy, but if it was easy, everyone would be Speilberg. You can also rent these cameras on KitSplit, or share grid, and make sure you pre-plan everything. Rehearsal is a must, and then when you are actually shooting, one or two takes, and move. Make the story visually stunning, with good sound, and good edit, and you will make your mark out there. Learn the tricks of low-budget filmmaking, there are tons of videos out there. Distribution is all about connections. Nothing is impossible, as I am the proof. I don't come from the industry, and I use to be homeless. On the other hand, I have been preparing for this moment for the last 20 years. I know how to shoot, edit, sound, color correct, direct, produce and act. I understand the business side really well. So, one can make excuses, or give up, because it's not easy, or keep grinding, and then do what I did. Today, all the streamers are asking me what I am doing next, and I have an open door with them. Why? Because I made an exceptional film. Also, I didn't take any money and worked relentlessly for 3 years, while I paid everyone else. Now that we are a success, my investors are very happy, and I will get paid well, but most importantly, my reputation has opened doors. I hope this helps. I didn't attend film school, I taught myself all this. How bad do you want this? That is what it comes down to. My first-time female writer/director Alanna, I met her on Instagram when she was struggling for 7 years to make this movie. 10 different producers came and went, but they could not make the film. Then when we met, I made it happen. I actually gave her my directorial funding and produced this movie because once I read the script, I knew this would be a hit movie. I also knew no one was going to let her make this movie. This is not your typical genre movie. BUT, this is the kind of movie that gets your respect from Hollywood agents, managers, and A-list talent. BTW, before I met Alanna, I had read over 4,000 scripts over the last 10 years. So I did my homework. I knew when I came out, I had to make an impression, or I would be stuck in low-budget hell forever. So I was very patient. End of the day, your movie has to stand on its own and be exceptional. I am all about quality, and I am not willing to cut corners on anything. That's why Netflix took our film. I hope this helps.

@Kevin MooreVisuals Yes FSI Sensors are Cheap & Durable but surely less quantum efficient for low light. Canon still uses FSI sensors on all of their new cameras except the R3 while Sony & other brands ordering sensor from Sony like Fuji, Nikon etc shifted to BSI Stacked sensor which is better in lowlight. You need better Dual Native ISO & analog circuit gains to make FSI usable which I guess Canon is doing to make them relavant.

I feel like if you know what your doing as far as retaining quality in your images and have a camera that is impressive with how it handles that it shouldn’t matter which camera you use as long as the limitations of the camera are recognized and successfully dealt with. But it’s somewhat understandable what’s being said here. I barely got by with my Nikon as far as the cameras filming capabilities, they have a noise structure that somewhat resembles film grain compared with traditional 35mm film. So it’s definitely an interesting element of conversation what people view as the industry standard. I’m sure exceptions will be made if it’s a film that done well. But yeah it’s understandable the very fine lines between it all. Shouldn’t Black Magic cameras be on this list as well?

How about a smartphone with a 1" sensor that is capable of recording 8k RAW video? Would there be any chance of footage from this smartphone being approved by Netflix?

That is obvious. But when you are telling an investor that your little camera rig is approved for Netflix funding it is good enough to get funding from you mr investor.

I've worked on multiple Emmy winning Netflix shows and you forgot one that's cheaper than all of these: the Sony FS7. I bought one used on eBay for a little over 2 grand. Far better for the price point than the FX series, which DOES have the Venice color science but the FS7 color is still incredible.

It does not matter what camera you use. The Netflix approved cameras are for those making a project funded by Netflix. You can film on any camera, and Netflix will buy it, if it is good. So unless they come to you and say we want you to make this film. It does not matter.
