Thanks for your experience, Nur! Btw, where can I find good examples of spec commercials shoot in one location with no budget? Which already worked well for producers or clients. In my experience, budgets in advertising are always much higher than zero, so it seems problematic to make something with minimal resources. So far, I don't even have any ideas how it could look like. I may be wrong, of course.

Blaine Westropp recently made some high quality stuff with a sneaker shoe in his bathroom. Check out his YT channel. It’s the idea that matters, not the production value. Do your Vimeo research. Also check out stuff like this: vimeo.com/447850248 vimeo.com/132418627 vimeo.com/248319869 These are really easy and inexpensive to make. And It doesn’t have to be fashion. You can find countless examples from other genres. It’s just something I’m personally interested in.

@nur-niaz 10 ай бұрын
Usually the sales metrics are dependant solely on how much the ad agency or the client's marketing is willing to push whatever marketing material they have. So it's impossible to quantify the correlation between the quality of the director's/production's work and the increase in sales. There are cases with genius ad ideas that the client doesn't have budget to place everywhere and make it ubiquitous. And vice versa there are too many cases where a very generic ad has so much media placement budget, that you see it everywhere, even if you don't want to. And that inevitably leads to increased sales. @@mustatia8917

Hey! I still use the free version and it’s still plenty to cover all my needs 👍 I think if you learn either one of the mainstream ones, it’ll be relatively easy to switch later on. But my personal pick is Davinci Resolve.

@@nur-niaz а в видео ты описываешь именно свой процесс старта? Просто у меня так не работает. Я хочу стать оператором - постановщиком и прихожу к выводу, что нужна киношкола или профильный вуз. Не столько ради знаний, сколько ради коммьюнити, псотоянной практики, кураторства, нетворкинга и доступа к большой арене (студенты мшк снимают рекламу крупных компаний как учебку, вгиковцы - полные метры). Технические знания я прошерстил. Книги, интернет. Снимал со студентами короткометражки с нулевым бюджетом и коркой хлеба. Вроде что-то есть, надергать красивых кадров можно. Вроде шоурил пытался собрать и куда то закинуть, но по факту таких как я - сотни. Конкуренция оч большая. На более крупных сменах меня особо никто не воспринимал (я работал на вторых ролях). И на будущие, серьезные проекты зовут либо однокашников, либо уже устоявшихся мастеров. Я по факту там как бесплатная рабочая сила и лишний рот. Так что можно сказать, я забил на свою мечту, снимаю однотипные коммерческие видео за оклад. Не знаю, может быть и накоплю на обучение годам к 30 (мне 23). Но перспектив пока что не особо..

как говорится это не "either/or", а "both/and". лично у меня не было возможности (да и желание в какой-то момент отпало) отучиться на режиссера в вузе, и тогда я начал делать свои спек рекламки и показывать их продюсерам, на что в ответ получал предложения поработать режиссером. я не могу сказать, что вуз бесполезен. я видел много случаев, где как ты описываешь, однокурсники тянут друг друга и помогают. но так же встречал чрезмерно много студентов, которым после обучения было дико сложно искать работу, попадать на площадки. все зависит от ожиданий и если есть такая возможность - то конечно лучше отучиться, делая в любую свободную минуту личные проекты. но если такой возможности нет, то это не причина сложить руки и сидеть@@user-kx6om4xm5v
