@@TickFlicks-You.got.it7 Whoa! Chill dude! I just calmly said that it freaks me out when I see fist instead of first. That's all! WTF is wrong with you???
Man who has friends that are into acting anymore? I don't even know how I have friends, I just know we went to school together, and play that one game sometimes.
I started making films at the age of 8 with a friend of mine. We filmed them with Legos, at my place, on my mum's phone. We got better over time, moved away from Legos, now we're both 16 and make live action stuff in greenscreens that we merge with 3d rendered creations in blender and Unreal engine. I started editing in the free windows movie maker, moved to magix video and I'm now using davinci resolve and premiere Pro. You'll get the equipment over time. Slowly but surely. Start off with what you have, I have accumulated a lot over the past 8 years of film making. And remember, always be proud if your work, share it online if you want to, show it to your friends, your family, they are your audience. Good luck!
My crew, actors, directors, scriptwriters, and editors are all 3 people Crew: me, cousin, brother Actors: me, cousin, brother Scriptwriters: me, cousin Editor: me (maybe a bit of help from cousin)
@@ImageDubstep Yeah but the point of the video is how to shoot a film with no budget, even though the camera is cheap for filming making its still expensive in the context of having no budget.
I don’t make any films...ever. However I always find useful nuggets in your tutorials even for vlogs. Today’s was framing. To give the feel and setting I want to portray in the vlog=framing.
Jayne Nicoletti hello. Im reaching out to you because im super motivated to shoot a film. Need to get experience however and would love to work with someone like you. Im also on a budget but willing to help in any way for shooting an original film.thanks for your time.
This is actually extremely intimidating. Watching that short film...I would NEVER have dreamed of all the work that went into preproduction. I would have just thought...you stuck them there, you turned on the camera...and filmed it. It’s just amazing how much we take for granted. You have to really be committed to this art form. I really want to try to do a very short horror film. This makes me feel so, so, so very ill-prepared and capable. I have a story...but actually no budget. Like..no equipment at all lol. Except a very nice iPhone 8 Plus. That takes very good footage. And Filmic Pro. But...I’m still going to try it. Me and three friends. I’m a teacher, so school is out in a week and a half. We’re doing it. We have a great idea...at least I think so...and two willing participants, both teachers, and one who is an extremely talented artist. I don’t care about the lacking...we’re going to attempt it.
Thank you for being honest. Filmmaking is hard work and a lot goes into producing viable content. If making exciting and engaging films was so easy, everyone would be doing it.
It's been a month. Thank you for your patience these types of videos always take awhile. I always get asked what gear to buy on a budget so I put together this gear list for you guys. I hope it helps. kit.com/D4Darious/budget-filmmaking-gear
I also have not much budget for my films. and i do. one a week. So not much time to figure out stories which can be executed cheap. My tip tho. Ask ask ask. Ask people around you for help. For location. For anything. You'll be surprised how many people have cool strange interesting locations to offer. I just shot in front of the Los Angeles observatory in my film size matters only because i simply asked. Good luck everybody. And my compliment for this shortfilm. Looks dope 👌
This might sound weird but... I'm 15 and I have a really good idea for movie. I really want to make it and could write the script myself but I don't have much more exept maybe a few locations. Should I give up on it or is it possible. Does anyone have any tips!
Woo Hoo! Just found a twenty in my old wallet. That means four short films have just been green lighted! On serious note thanks for removing the excuses we often give ourselves for not getting creative stuff done. A lot of us have gear and spend way too much time thinking about what we want or don't have instead of making great use of what we already have. Resource film making should be what everyone is doing instead of trying to get that online campaign going that will raise $100k. As usual nice job young brother!!
Hi man! I'm just a guy who wants to grow his fitness instagram account, but unfortunately I won't be able to do it until 2020-2021. I'm a lot afraid of the huge competition that already exists, plus I don't even have the best cameras or the best video editing software for photo and videos. Do you think it will be too late to grow? Your answer means a lot! But also everyone who's reading this, please answer!
Great advice, but I'm also curious how you shot your "backwoods" night sky sequence. It's a gorgeous shot and would be super sweet to see how you did it.
Perfect timing for this video to come out! I just finished the script for my first feature film, and I always joke with my friends that we have a budget of a whopping $5 haha. I have some very talented actor friends from this local theater school, and I've made friends with the people in the DMT program I'm in... Wish me luck, and as always, thank you Darious for making these in depth videos. They're very helpful! :-)
If I were you I'd start shooting Micro films or scenes first. Learn the basics before jumping into shooting a full blown short film. I'm not sure what your skill level is but take it one step at a time :) Plus you'll get to meet more peeps in the process.
Amor Antasia I'm in Dallas I wrote plenty of scripts and have some good equipment n software we shot a mini film n working on more email me firstklassent29@gmail.com I'm.still learning things also
Yeah, there were a lot of things the actors did that didn't make sense for character or could have done to sell the story better but I liked the part at the end where he tells us what lenses to use to get each shot so I gave it a like anyway 👍 Otherwise the film was confusing at best and shows other writer/directors the importance of always having a well written (and re-written) script
Robert Mugica more or less, the mother is in a casual sex type relationship with d4 and they were supposed to be together for Valentine's Day, but then the daughter was broken up with or broke up with her man, so she went to her mother for comfort. And then d4 shows up and ruins everything 😂 (this is just my take on it, I don't know anything 100%)
Basically we are led to believe that the young woman and d4 have some sort of relationship going on and she is ignoring him on valentines day as she is spending time with her mother. We later find out that it was actually the older woman who was seeing d4, and that she viewed the relationship as casual.
Just use a phone and a filmmaking app like filmic pro and you're good to go! Check out the channel iPhoneographers, he goes into detail about filmmaking on phones and minimal gear.
The mom being the one having sex was definitely not what I was expecting lol. But I think the music was a bit overkill and I don't think both women needed to be shown drinking. Seemed redundant and a lot of shots seemed to linger
Once again, EXCELLENT WORK BRO!!!! Loved the short and awesome for you to break it down. One question tho... who was the other later screwing at the end of the film? lol My takeaway was Darius was going through some things with the daughter, she was avoiding him, he wouldn't submit, so moms takes over and saved the day by smashing. lol Am I close?
Man I absolutely I want to thank you for taking the time to show behind the scenes on a low budget film. it actually look really professional, and the actors were great. You have yourself a new subscriber, and my goal this year is to also shoot a short film. thanks for the inspiration
what happens when you have No Actors AND No Budget ? ! ? ! ? ! and when you DO shoot this EPIC tale, then were do you show it off ?? so many Q's for you
Guys he is not talking about the camera when he said you can shoot a film for $10. I think the film was good and I live all his videos. Very knowledgeable.
You can actually make a great film like this. I shot a longer form film in exactly this way but didn't get it finished however I managed to break what I did get down into a couple shorter films. You can check them out on my channel.
First and foremost............................a really good story. The rest is do the best with what ya got. If the story is there, you can use barby dolls, or your own made up dolls for the actors and whatever you can pull up out of the dumpster. Story line , story line, story line. That's it. Pure creativity. Write down your dreams, and especially lucid dreams. Keep a record player by your bedside.
I am from Spain and when I was 18 I made a film with some high school classmates and some friends.....and with a 15€ (17 dollars more or less) budget Damn, I spent a year and a half
Top tip, before thinking of your budget movie idea write down possible people and locations you have available to you so you know what you can and cannot work with
I just stand my phone somewhere, press play and then edit the parts out and keep the important parts, my jaunra is action so I usually add special effects and they pretty much carry my movies
Now the next step is finding out how to write a short film with only 1 person in the whole cast 😂 (Nobody I know will be willing to do something like this with me. I also am not planning on doing animation for the project I was going to do despite my profile name)
Phone for camera save that ten. Wait till you come up on another ten. Build your own soft box. Wait tiil you come up on another ten. Get a budget shotgun mic. Piece by piece bud.
When he says no budget, he means no budget for that particular film. Gear and equipment can be used for multiple films, so their costs don't go toward the film's expenses. Props, Actors, Crew salaries, locations, all that stuff is the expenses that are incurred for that particular film, so that's what he means when he says he only used $10 to make the film, he spent no money on that stuff.
Josh Levin hello. If you happen to have camera equipment. Maybe we could work together. Honestly, i have no experience in film but have always felt motivated to work with some really good people and make a film. Willing to help in any way possible.
Hey bro hope you are well and having a great week so far. Just found you today and really pleased we have your videos are awesome bro. Fantastic editing skills and great footage bro. We are new to this game and really appreciate your help and hints bro. Thanks so much for sharing your experience and knowledge with us. We are new to this game and really appreciate your help and hints bro. Stay safe and catch up again real soon God bless you.
So me and my friends had the idea of filming a short film and we’re 15. We all made our own original characters that we wanted to act as, sadly they didn’t all fit and they needed some changed or assigned a role. I currently only wrote the outline to the story. Since we cant buy props we’re making our own costumes and it up to them to make or buy one since it’s there design. I’m gonna start the script idea and my other friend probably going to finish it (since she writes a lot more stories). The hardest thing is where we can film, since the beginning the main character is in a feild, and then stumbles to an abandoned house, (which we don’t have). we’re gonna try and hopefully frame it perfectly to my backyard and make my shed into a “house”. My friend is also the only one who know good with photography and lighting and needs to figure out how to frame that together. The rest of the story is either in a feild or in the woods. And then I’m also editing and creating the sound effects, also I’m need to do makeup for everyone. Not to mention the lack of acting ability since almost none of us have experience :7 and the woods we have to film at is actually by my old elementary school that’s always crowded with people. Update:I started the script with my friend(who is much better a writing then me) is gonna help
This video is the first time I have actually agreed with someones reasoning for using different lenses (specifically the 10-18mm for the wide). Thank you so much Darious! Your channel is amazing:)
Yo, Darius Brit here. Can you please explain the ending? I don't understand why there was a slight smile and a cheers at the end. What was the message? What was the story value? . Thanks for the helpful content. Peace brother.
So, when I was in film school my teachers weren't supposed to explain things to me because then the movie would lose it's meaning? That's not a really good advice and I have to politely disagree. If one doesn't understand your movie it's fine but if more than one don't, you either made experimental cinema or there is something wrong with the plot. It's nothing to be ambarassed about, especially in this field you never stop learning no matter how old you are. Sorry for my english but it's not my first language!
This is brilliant! I'm just about to shoot my first short, I've not been to any school of directing, acting, editing... nothing. But I just want to make some films. I've got a small budget which I'm going to get a decent camera, shotgun mic, blimp, and a dead cat. So with that, I'm just going to do it. This video is perfect though, gave me hope after watching countless videos of all the expensive equipment and schooling that I needed...Wish me luck lol.
Rob Doherty Songwriter good luck! I just finished making my first real short film! It was an amazing experience truly amazing. It’s a 20min fantasy short film. It took me a year of doing practice runs, story making, and then another year of production to complete it and now this year I released it. Truly it was very fun just get out there and achieve your dream and it’ll work out :) Good luck! Would love if you could check out my film and give your opinion on it. Thanks
Akers DVD Good luck man, truly. I’m 16. My name is Asher. I wanna make movies. For 3 years I’ve been trying to make a fantasy film, my whole childhood I’ve been writing fantasy stories. After many years now I’ve learned some stuff and I’m nearly done my fantasy film. I also tho am trying to collaborate with other filmmakers on their work, no success so far. After so many bumps and everyone telling me I’m too young to succeed....I really hope I do succeed. I’d love it, I’d actually really appreciate it if you checked out my “teaser” of my film on my channel. I made a short basically showing the visual style of my films battles and introducing the villain. If you do watch it and comment your review..,I’d be really greatful cause as of now I’ve got hardly no support in my dream.
Dude! This is so cool!!! 😭 😭 😭 THANK YOU!!! I was beginning to lose all hope, but now I think I'll try this backwoods method and get some shit done! *sniff*
