Amazing Possibilities for Low-Budget Filmmakers using Blender

In this video I discuss one of the most exciting things to me as a filmmaker, using Blender for digital set extensions. If you can just get one wall or one corner of a set that works, building the rest in the computer to the specifications of your script is now really easy thanks to software like Blender. And it's fun, easy and free! Stay tuned for a more in-depth tutorial coming soon.

If anyone is curious to see these concepts in practice, check out my new short film, PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB. Lots of sneaky CG and VFX shots in here. Let me know if you can spot any! Watch here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xJDIIRMAcK4.html

Hi Ben I’m I could really use your skills for a project I’m creating. What is the best way to contact you?

@ArtwithAmarBrisco 2 года назад

I have been saying this for more than a decade. I have been using 3D software in some shape or form since the early 90s. What I see with Blender and now Unity or Unity it opens up so many possibilities for indie filmmakers and animators.

@BenMoranFilms 2 года назад

Absolutely! I’m much newer to it than you are but being able to employ it on films even in small, subtle ways is so exciting.

@akenahillen4263 Год назад

Am really excited, I used to want to produce short films but whenever I thought about budget, and survuving, I couldnt do any films. But now blender gives an opportunity to do everything with zero to little budget....

@flexabyse Год назад

I started my journey into 3D/CGI a few years back as a hobby. I learned Maya but recently I've been blown away by what Blender is now capable of and I've decided to transition

@cowsforliyyfe 2 года назад

This is a great tutorial/talk! I use Cinema 4D but the principles you're talking about here still hold up, and I learned a lot of tricks ie the window method. Definitely earned yourself a sub. Thanks man! Keep at it!

@BenMoranFilms 2 года назад

Ah thanks so much! I really appreciate it.

@RossRandomStuff 2 года назад

This is an awesome video and I also have the same thoughts as you! I learned blender because one, I wanted to add it as an extra skill, and two I realized early on that the scope of what I want to make was far beyond what I can do on set... I'm still new to blender and VFX it seemed daunting at first but after that first step... it opens a whole new world of possibility of what you can do and that rush of excitement every time... cannot be topped by everything at least for me.

@BenMoranFilms 2 года назад

Well said Ross!

@Hail_Sagan 2 года назад

Great video, thank you for this. I've been wanting to try Blender but it always seemed like such a steep mountain to climb. But videos like this make me want to embark on that journey. Do you have any tutorial recommendations for total Blender beginners? Btw, love the tone of this video!

@BenMoranFilms 2 года назад

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. I totally relate to it feeling very intimidating, and the good news is it looks a lot worse than it is. For a beginner's tutorial, there's no better place to start than the famous donut tutorial by Blender Guru. It's a really in-depth tutorial on how to make a donut, but it's real function is to teach you all of the tools that you're going to use on a regular basis. It's also really easy to follow and fun, and once you've done it you'll be well on your way. I also recommend Ian Hubert's lazy tutorials because they're hilarious, but they also introduce you to a way of thinking about CG that is really fundamental to making scenes like the ones I showed in this video.

@aramisgrey3711 9 месяцев назад

I've resumed learning Blender because I alo share your opinion. It's time-consuming to learn but with more and more easy-to-follow tutorials out there and a clear idea of what you want to get out of it, it's definitely a skill to have.

@Cjw.4 2 года назад

Marvellous work on the music video I love the way it looks, really showcases the idea of the video and totally gives a different feel than if it was all CG and say they were shot on a green screen in a virtual theatre it’s that 50-50 or 80-20 practical CG that has you going that’s real, no it’s not weight but that’s real OK maybe it’s all real OK I don’t know but I love it

@manesmurks Год назад

I would recommend using a subdivision surface modifier for the mannequin, especially in the close up. Otherwise it looks really good!

@BenMoranFilms Год назад

Yeah, definitely would’ve been a good idea. I did not know about instancing (ALT + D) at the time so I was using SHIFT + D to duplicate those mannequins to make the crowd and so my little laptop was chugging to do anything in the scene by the end. I think a subdiv modifier would’ve sent it into oblivion!

@mirality2464 2 года назад

@@BenMoranFilms Thanks for the reply. I thought you were using software like After Effects or Blackmagic Design Fusion for composition. Filmed images have motion blur, noise, lens distortion, CA. They are not as perfect as the ones created in Blender.

@BenMoranFilms 2 года назад

@@mirality2464 Ah, compositing! Well Blender has built in motion blur and lens distortion so those are taken care of there, and then I color grade and add in some digital film grain in Premiere. I probably should use After Effects, I just find its UI a little annoying sometimes so I do it in Premiere if I can.
