Hahaha lol

Thank you so much!!!

Thanks for being apart of the journey Dave

Ya! Will keep that in mind man!

I agree man. Sorry if the title came across as clickbaity, I’m trying to make this a career too, and unfortunately YT prioritizes CTR as a way to succeed. That said I don’t want it to detract from the content so I appreciate your words.

It’s not out yet! But I’ll be releasing stuff on it soon!

You are so welcome!

I agree that we should hire actors and real talent for our projects. That said, for weekend passion projects that don’t have a budget, I’ll continue using tools that are available so I can advertise my work and book gigs that do have money.

So close it was the FX3

So happy it helped

Thanks man

Bro this comment means a lot. Funny enough AOD taught me so much about narrative filmmaking and storytelling across the board. Congrats on investing in your career. Thank you so much for the kind words, it fuels J and I to keep making stuff ❤️

Yes!!!🙌

Good points, tho keep in mind a lot of this things can be borrowed or sponsored, already owned. You don't add you socks and jocks to the budget because you're wearing them on the day. The budget may refer to things specifically bought for the shoot. An excellent way to save is to borrow or contra what you need that will keep what you perceive on screen as a cost, to not actually be a cost. Hope it helps.

@@Filmsource I greatly appreciate your vote of confidence and advisement in helping others to achieve their cinematic dreams. Though, I will say, I find “socks and jocks” to be a false equivalent of prosumer cameras, audio, and computer equipment.

@@leonagraves3450 The message I intended to convey is that "contra" deals and borrowing help keep the budget down, ensuring that items on screen are not necessarily a direct cost. I am not involved in that particular video, just another viewer like yourself. However, I have been part of projects where the on-screen items did not reflect their actual costs. Cameras, microphones, jumpsuits, and other equipment might have been borrowed, donated, or acquired through other means, allowing these people to avoid paying for them. For instance, in one film, we had access to an army tank and a helicopter at no cost. We were even allowed to shoot at the location for free. I did however do a cost comparison after to see how much $ I had saved! - It's great when kind people come on board to help your projects look like a million bucks! :)

Hey chiming in here! The budget was minus my own gear. With my brand new FX3, MacBook Pro, and gimbal added the budget would be closer to $8500. I highly recommend all filmmakers to NOT buy anything, rather rent or borrow until you can get these things.

I am currently trying to create a short film all by myself. I have already made one short film, but it feels like no one is watching. I can only silently persist. My production costs were very low, spending less than $5

One for this film!

Egypt 🇪🇬

Thanks for saying this, I agree! That’s why we had trouble finishing the film

@@ZachRamelan You are making amazing steps to produce a quality movie! Do not give up! 💪

Thank you! Ronin S2

We both like hunger games, but Jacquie loves it.

@@ZachRamelan i have read all the books and i love it it is an amazing story

Appreciate your comment, that said we both put a lot of effort into the writing, production, and post production of these videos - baking a bit of our soul into all our work. In exchange comments like these hurt. While as artists we can’t avid criticism we can continue to make art for those who want to watch it. Thanks for checking out the channel, sorry it didn’t reach your standard.

@@ZachRamelan Sorry what I said stung you, but you put this on yourself by publicly proclaiming what you are doing is Hollywood level. It is clearly not. How many people get on American Idol thinking they can sing, when they really just sound bad and will never have a successful career in music. I'm not knocking your hard-fought efforts, just trying to bring you down to reality so you can get stronger, and produce better creative work in the future. If you really want to produce Hollywood level work, you are going to have to dig in, start again with a fresh perspective, and then come back stronger than before. Learn how to take a critique and grow from it.

YES!

Yes!!!! broaden it. Bring in an antagonist and a goal.

I think it would work better as a series, the moods, scenarios, characters...etc

Thanks for the comment

Great question! Canadian Winters are usually dead quiet, so the sound was great out of the shotgun mic on my camera

@@ZachRamelan wow - sounds very clean.

Great advice

I am currently trying to create a short film all by myself. I have already made one short film, but it feels like no one is watching. I can only silently persist。Keep up the great work, and don't lose hope!
