I feel this about KZfaq and influencers in general- theres a lot of unhealthy culture among KZfaqrs that comes from this being their livelihood, that they have to clickbait and play the algorithm to make a living, but people will always make content even if they're not paid. It will be crap, but they'll make it.

You can edit and license music for very little, the only hard costs are a good sound rig, never underestimate your sound, it’s more important than your image quality, and if you want to shoot at night, or match scenes, a good lighting rig is another potential cost.

Mostly because they were making movies in their backyard with home video cameras before they were 10. They didn't need film school, they were getting the experience first-hand AND...they knew they wanted to do it for a living from that age. The best musicians do the same thing: Q-Tip, Taylor Swift, Prince, etc. they ALL knew they wanted to be professional musicians before they had pubes.

Literally none of these guys had that. Scorsese was born to working class immigrant parents, Spielberg has working parents that also got divorced part way through his life, Fincher had to work for years as a PA before writing to get his break. Many other famous directors also did not have any financial help as they climbed up the ladder. Stop whining and do something with your life or take responsibility for why you don't have what they have.

@joesnow2cold56 21 күн бұрын

@@logantotman1574⁠ I think Spielberg’s dad, who was a computer pioneer in the early sixties, was a little more than a “working parent.” Same with Christopher Nolan, whose father was an advertising executive. Scorsese went to a private Catholic high school for boys in NYC. They all to some degree were born with golden spoons in their mouths. Not really whining about anything either just pointing out how cock it is to generally say “if you want to make movies like I do, you have a camera on your iphone go make yourself a movie” when the person saying that has had their parents financially support their every single wish tenfold.

@KadenChampion Ай бұрын

It's all about skill. You can have a crappy camera, crapy equipment and the audience can forgive that aslong as the story is good and there is clearly a level of expertise that went into shooting the film. The opposite can also be said. You can have an amazing camera, amazing equipment but the audience wont appreciate that if your story is crappy and your not clearly not experienced. And, when I say experience, I mean in terms of actually shooting the film (cinematography), and editing the film (such as pacing and overall theme building, etc).

Note to self: be born in a rich family

@logantotman1574 22 күн бұрын

Fucking what? Scorsese was born to two working class immigrant parents. Spielberg wasn't too far off as his father's ventures didn't make their family much money until his teenage years and his father didn't support his filmmaking so he never got any money from it. David Fincher worked as a PA for films for a while before slowly working up the latter, not born to rich parents. Coppola I don't know but I know he also did not get opportunities right away and in fact, was kinda put in "directors jail" before The Godfather. Nolan I also don't know his financial background but his first film was made for basically nothing. Tarantino worked at a video store for his 20s because he didn't have enough money and had to focus on writing. Stop with your whining when you could just actually have talent and work hard to get what you want. Take responsibility for your own failures.
