Yeah imagine having that

i don't have that

You really don't need that. Rima Das made a feature film that went to Netflix and won the National Award (best award in India) all with one cheap Canon camera and her local cousin helping out, all the actors were relatives from her village.

@@LordJagd w-wait what? how

@@boteng8213 From her interviews, it sounds like perseverance and practice. And working within one's restraints, but extremely creatively (so not a film of young people talking in apartments)

Well not from the air don't be so dramatic

But how big of a plane?

@@yash124 😂😂😂😂

@@iPodiMaster that part is a little bit dramatic:)

Yash lalwani nah we gonna drop a huge plane

yep, that's why it isn't dumb to just pursue money. It allows room for things that you actually want to do later in life.

@@pzz6367 Wrong. When you pursue things earlier in life- where you learn basic and then advanced skills needed for your industry- you will be in a better position to know where to save money- so you never need so much to waste triple on stupid mistakes. Film is very skill specific. Nobody ever directed a successful movie- who just had money. If you do not believe me, you can take a lesson from Anapurna Films. This the company of "the" Larry Elison's daughter. He gave her a few hundred million to start with and has now cut the drain, because the company was bleeding money since it's inception.

@@JJDvorshak Never said you don't need an education. You can still study film while having money. Especially with film, many who go into the industry don't reach where they want to be. Only small few portion of those who study film end up being able have creative freedom (making their own movies). People who don't have money, don't have time. Having money gives you time and security. It lets you do what you want.

@@pzz6367 Yeah, sure. But in life there are no guarantees. And you don't get your time back. So choose wisely. Nobody will guarantee you riches. Ever. So you at least try not to hate your journey. Listen, I'm a learner. My main want is to be a film director in Hollywood. I have plans to make a fully birthed KZfaq channel as my plan b- or a side gig. And I have another research going for an unrelated business- which could be lucrative, but take valuable time away, so choosing it is hard. Then there is just a faint idea of learning C# up to an acceptable level to maybe make a game with 5 other people (2 devs + producers, 3 artists, 1 marketing consultant)- working for equal percentages- and try to make some seed capital for a movie. I'm in my late 20s and I want to make it too. Fact remains, that you need total dedication and time for opportunities. So 10 years working on something for hoping to be rich. Or 10 years simply working in the industry you need to be in- and having the same odds. It's an illusion you can have it both ways- usually. So choose wisely. Right now, I'm just looking for any kind of work. It is not appreciated enough in this world today to simply start from root level and being somebody's tea boy.

@@JJDvorshak Good luck, but do not underestimate how hard making games is. It is a serious commitment.

A lot of big actors join indie projects to reinvent themselves or explore how great their skills are. Now that producers see how well they can perform, they can get on some "artsy" high budget film

Well, Mark Duplass wrote it so that helps. The director Alex Lehmann was a camera operator on The League, where he became friends with Mark. So either Mark knew Sarah already or just the fact that he was involved was enough for Sarah to spend a week doing the movie.

Many actors only do the big budget stuff to make enough money to do the creatively engaging projects that don't pay much.

A lot of times is through common friends, etc. De Niro and Bruce Willis had made movies for free, just because they wanted to work with a specific director

@@LuisSierra42 In this instance Mark Duplass is friends with Sarah Paulson's best friend Amanda Peet. I'd recommend watching the q&a they did with SAG-AFTRA. It goes a little more into the decisions made about making and filming Bluejay kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gc-dlpB5xsjJlWQ.html

😂😂😂😂 LOL

Yeah, sometimes it's just a matter of how you want to distribute the budget. Some films place more importance on paying for cast/locations and less importance on technical gear. Some prioritise getting a specific visual aesthetic for the film which requires more money. Frances Ha just goes to show how much you can achieve with minimal camera gear.

5d2 was popular for a while even on commercial sets, until producers found 5d2 takes a lot of time to light, bounce and cut.

Frances ha is amazing

As you can imagine, the choice of camera wasn't a financial constraint for Frances Ha. In the Criterion extras I believe there's an interview where Baumbach says he just wanted to shoot on DSLRs.

@@askl23 You are correct. They tested different camera's and liked the look of the 5d the best. They liked how it was somewhat grainy, similar to shooting on film but not.

B007 I agree it’s like the shining of are era

Brazilian Goddess obviously know nothing of film🤦‍♂️

Brazilian Goddess acting, black n white and obviously the story of the film. It’s obvious when you wrote “over acted”

Brazilian Goddess you obviously don’t know the meaning of the film🤦‍♂️

Brazilian Goddess your basically sitting there calling the film generic when it’s not. There so to the story other than 2 drunk sailors and it’s obvious you have no knowledge on film. This film is a modern day The Shining but you’re to blind to actually look into the film

if you want industry success, you either have to be pretty unique, like quention or spielberg, or get a degree to get associate work

Good luck man I hope you do it

Just get a camera, any camera, and go for it!

And now everyone is making films for money Better be artistic about it to be recognized Above than clout chasers

You'll learn so so so much more when you start doing it. Try things see what works what doesn't, this way or that way etc. Ideas will start rushing through your mind. Ask around, get contacts, put a word out, ask people to put a word out, and soon you'll find people as passionate as you. And most importantly HAVE FUN!! You need very little budget to make something great. Take one thing at a time and don't worry about every single thing that's going right or terribly wrong. Focus on your work. All you got to do is make the picture as you see it in your mind.

She is.

Cinematography is a progressively more forgotten art.

@@DonVigaDeFierro I mean... a $20,000 camera doesn't hurt!

it’s so amazing! i’m a fan of sarah paulson (the woman in the movie), which made me want to watch this indie film called Blue Jay, and oh was i not disappointed. the two actors in that movie really made it feel like a real life conversation, not to mention that most of that movie was improvised! it’s very raw and very emotional, i recommend watching it. it’s on netflix :)

nah

yEs

Good time is a must then

Fr he has such a good taste in picking music for the video.

Yes! It totally captivated me

There is just something about the right music just creating so many emotions in a scene. I LOVE films that do this right

I love the way you think!!!

Exactly so true especially prime lenses! What lens is your favourite?

Yes. Resolution of getting out of hand in my opinion lol

Damn your no budget film looks like a high budget movie. Please teach us how to make such movie with very such entry camera.

Yes I agree, it’s becoming somewhat of a cliché that audio is maybe the most important element of filmmaking. But it is true; at least if it isn’t good enough. Creating an interesting image is doable almost everywhere if that your main quest but shooting that image and capture acceptable audio is what often fails. You can always bring a small camera with you and shoot guerilla style, you can do it in the subways, almost everywhere, and no one will really think of what you are doing if you are smart and swift. But if you bring a sound guy with a boom and have your actors deliver dialog etc than the problems begins. Sound is a little bit like stunts or fx etc, you need to compromise to get it acceptable. Or at least mention adr, which is a possibility but hard to master, really hard. The title is: “How To Shoot A Film At 3 Different Budget Levels” and the description “having a larger budget means having more control over creating images “ and “I'll analyse 3 films with 3 vastly different budgets to show some techniques you can use” etc Leaving out the sound part in this video, which is often the most troublesome, was a little bit like that beginner mistake neglecting sound when shooting your first films. Next to no one will praise you for your excellent sound, but they will praise you for your wonderful cinematography. On the other hand, “bad” cinematography might be an artistic choice. But when the sound is bad, the whole film is bad. So yes I agree, sound is to important to be left out.

That’s is very true !

What tripod would you recommend?

@@InDepthCine Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱🎞

Hello! I like very much your videos. Please make a video about light equipament!

I didn't even watch the video yet... I could see the difference in between these three categories in sheer lens choice and lighting in the thumbnail!!

Glad to hear you're getting something out of these videos! Thanks for watching.

@Charlie Vetsworth It was a $4 million budget lol. I feel like a lot of the films I thought were "indie" or "low-budget" actually were the complete opposite. So it's a little disappointing to realize how much money it really takes to make a movie, microbudget or further.

Charlie Vetsworth it’s under 10 million

Charlie Vetsworth money doesn't make a movie indie or not. It is a damn fact that The Lighthouse is an indie film. (Also most of the budget went to Pattinson and Dafoe...)

I'd like to believe its due to a compelling concept and welcoming environment? But that's just a random guess

Hi. 🙂 Some people are still willing to work for the experience, as it will help them to grow. Some people might ask you for a demo reel or a few of their scenes to keep as payment (or you can offer them that when asking to work with them) that they can use for auditions. Also, some people are just kind and are willing to help you with your projects. As another commenter said, just provide a welcoming environment: kindness, refreshments, work with each others' schedules, etc. Please make sure that your cast, crew, whoever you work with, are all aware of how serious you are about your work: Work with people who will take the job seriously. Work with people who will respect your craft and your time. Otherwise, prepare for possible unnecessary stress. If you have not already done so, I kindly suggest that you research making contracts and the importance of them, and kindly ask them to be signed, for the safety of your work. Humbly, I can only speak from the experience I have with indie music videos and short films, and also from having worked as a portrait photographer. (If anyone else can help out with advice, please do! 😊) I hope this helps. 😊 May God bless you. 🙏🏼

@@Boldness-and-Virtue Useful explanation. Thank you.

It depends on the environment you’re in. I have many theatre friends and we decided to make something like a film.

@@AvadhutNigudkar You are so very welcome! I'm so glad that helped! 😊 May God bless you! 🙏🏼
