About me:
I'm Kent Lamm and I've been making short films for over 20 years, starting at age 11. I directed my first feature film, Bad is Bad, in 2010. Made for only $6,000, the film went on to reach over 7 million views and garner critical acclaim. More recently, my short film, Will "The Machine", screened and won awards at film festivals around the world. Released online in 2019, it reached over 3 million views. As an editor, I’ve done work for clients such as Apple, Netflix, and Beats by Dre.

After the wake-up scenes, and don't rush it, show a close-up of a dripping tap. A good 1/3 of the film should be devoted to these crucial scenes. Now you have your audience truly excited, have your protagonist walk the 12 miles to where the story starts. Show him or her climb up steps, go through the park, wait at a stop sign, and then walk some more. By the time he/she arrives, it is time for the closing credits. You can all thank me later when you win Sundance.

I'm so glad he mentioned Arial font. I've read of typographers and font designers watching a movie, and afterward contacting the production company to scold and educate them about their cringe and lazy font choices, because they were that bad. Dune 2 used a variant of Futura for subtitles; not super original but it's good and fits the movie and historical context of the 1960's sci-fi book. If they used Arial or a default Adobe font, I would have flipped my shit.

Imma be a hater here and say not using Arial or a basic font for subtitles is a horrific and annoying choice. It gives the vibe that you haven't put in enough work to make the actual story good and now you're hoping that the subtitles cover up the problems. Also it can be very hard to read stylized fonts as subtitles when your eyesight isn't very good. To the point where I have had to drop multiple shows because the fonts aren't stylized well.
@zachpw
@zachpw Ай бұрын
@thezackast2752 The designer’s job is also not to use overly stylized fonts for things like subtitles. There’s lot of metrics for a font. Legibility, readability, balance, appropriateness for the film, and a general sense of “does it look good”. Arial is unbalanced and ugly; a good alternative is Helvetica. Futura is pretty good for Dune; it’s contemporary (ish) to the writing of the book, it has some of the modern themes the story deals with, and it’s German and I suppose you could argue there’s some Nazi imagery going on there. If you’re going to be lazy and use a default font, use a good one like Helvetica. Ideally you should pick one that ticks all the boxes of “good” while also stylistically fitting your film. Is it a period drama? Futura will look really weird. Is it a comedy? Maybe pick something with a bigger X height (height of the lowercase letters) since those tend to look more laid back. Is it set in 1940? Might be weird to use something designed in 2007.

For my 48 Film Projects, I always used the full 59 seconds for credits for my 7-minute movies, because I mostly wanted to thank the unpaid team members of those 2-day exercises. But I knew the credits are typically boring, so I got local musicians to contribute their own music (to also promote it), and shot footage just to be in the credits. If I were making a "real" movie, I wouldn't do things the same way, but the 48 Hour Film Project is its own animal.

God the camera/sound budget ratio is too true. Safe to say I learned my lesson. Great video Kent! I really enjoyed your sarcastic witty commentary on this video. Keep these styles of videos coming!

Invincible did “middle” credits in many episodes, works great, good fakeout, also confusing.

Top tip. If you shoot it at 1.4 and consistently miss focus, with no stabilisation and grade it really bad, it is officially art

Retraining in my 40's, this took me right back to film school and being stuck with 18 year olds. The most educating thing about it, was not turning up and working in the field with professionals. I now work as a visual journalist creating content for the national news... The others in my class, well.....

Don't forget to make your movie about how you don't have any ideas for making a movie. Have the main character (bonus points if it's you playing the part) stare at an open word document before slamming it down in frustration.

the "it was a dream the whole time" can work if the plot its focused on the development of the character,maybe beating a trauma. the events didn't happened,but they did for the main character,he changed as a person

wide open aperture is such an obvious way to make suckers think they're watching something higher quality than they are. very common on KZfaq

LOL this is great! I screen for a festival and I can't tell you how many times the credits have been half the length of the film! Or if we see a super snazzy company logo shot at the beginning, we know that's the highest production value we're getting for the film itself as the rest is all just downhill. This really made me laugh, good stuff. But the one you missed is having a drone shot mimic follow a car going into the woods like in the Shining, I see that maybe once out of every five or ten films now when I'm screening lol.
