How to Start Making Films 

Then spend way too much noney on a minute of film 😂

My Dad has got a Super 8mm Camera :) a Sony. I'm gonna destroy professionalism😅

True...thats the begining....and fastest way...... because otherwise you have to wait to finish what ever you study....🔥👍

I dont have a dad

​@@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek yes a my-noot amount of film.

My thoughts exactly! 🥹

Technology and the internet democratizes art. When the creative endeavor is available to everyone, magic happens.

Agreed!!

Francis Ford Coppola is no stranger to shoestring budget movies. Gis lasg several films hace been super low budget independent movies despite him having 5 Oscars. He's a boss. The Conversation is one of my favorite movies of all time.

I feel this about RU-vid and influencers in general- theres a lot of unhealthy culture among RU-vidrs 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.

Same

So you can shoot movies with ipad? Why not iPhone? It had better cameras

@@johnweak6788I think you can use both.

He actually reminds me of JJ Abrams from that Ted Talk with how he changes his intonation lmao

wait how much does it cost to license music?

@@JessieJamesPlays Depends on your scoring needs. Many decent subscription music libraries have cropped up in the past few years with the creator/DIY boom. With a little research you'll find plenty of quality, variety and affordability out there.

@@JessieJamesPlaysIt’s thousands of dollars. Really depends on the song, but most times it’s thousands of dollars. This commenter is honestly speaking out of his ass.

@@Donvey ah

​@@DonveyI think the commenter does not mean to license world famous music, but using services that allow you to use "music stock".

best of luck dude

Are you in Jersey by any chance? I'm working on horror. I'm looking to join a crew so I could act in their film or help write.

@@BajloudTheArabBoogieman no, I'm from California, but I'll try to root for you from the west coast.

step 2 make dad buy an ipad

you're on to something, in that it's also "Step 1, come from the upper middle class" which is the case for a lot of them

First step successfully failed

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.

Passion towards films made them like that….u take any field of you are passionate about it then definetly you can achieve something big one day in that field…..because you love it so you don’t feel it stressed unlike jobs and you do it happily you learn a lot and later going up on you become big

Spielberg went to film school, Scorsese went to film school. Plenty of successful filmmakers went to school for film or something else. Don't talk bad about film school when there's way more people not going to film school and having no success because their shit sucks.

making movies doesnt really have much to do with the person, but who the person knows. thats why you see so many awful movies come out nowadays, because only the elite are allowed any heirarchy in hollywood

​@@DeathBlackWishim currently in film school and the only benefit it gives you is networking and equipment. Maybe how to use said equipment

let me pour some annointing oil on your head at least

You are worshipping pedos and ppl that would rape your kids

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.

@@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.

No time like the present! There's plenty of people out there who love to watch folks blow some shit up.

Go back. I just went back to making movies after 15 years of drugs and working😂

@Snarkcom *Nah, everything you need you can do it in your phone nowadays, and for the payment of you're actors are committed you can pay them with revenue, even Sodenbergh filmed a movie with an IPhone*

I'm glad somebody gets it.

Can't the same said about people who went to film school? There is no guarantee that going to film school will make you a great filmmaker. The only thing that matters is your talent, passion and perseverance.

@@guyincognito8440 This guy doesn't "get" anything. He impresses himself by saying buzzy phrases like "survivorship bias" after reading it somewhere. Are these guys survivors? Absolutely. So is everyone in the NBA. You have to SURVIVE to do anything at all. So, yeah, you've got access to all the tools you need, but if you aren't any good (and most people won't be), you will not survive.

@@jon8004 It's not at all comparable to professional athletes. You've missed the point completely.

@@guyincognito8440 Then what's the point?

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.

It’s about starting somewhere and building up from there.

He's talking about the types of movies kids make with paper, super glue and tinfoil.

Wolfgang Petersen

Scorsese had working class immigrant parents, Spielberg didn't have any "money" until his father became successful in his teens and his father never supported his movies because he didn't think they were a real job. An 8mm camera in the 60s wasn't that much if they saved up and it doesn't give anyone now an excuse. Take responsibility for your own failures.

Francis Ford Coppola.....the man who made Godfather part 1,2 and 3 and Apocalypse now ...his most noted films

Did they tho? Christopher Nolan had no budget for first film paying for everything through his full time job also making it hard for him to film only being able to film once a week which took him 2 years to finish the film

You have a phone

But you have a phone, the iPad point was that you can literally make movies on a tablet, that applies with phones.

That's the point....just make stuff. It doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to be made so you can get better. 8mm cameras look like dogshit, THATS THE WHOLE POINT OF WHAT THEY WERE SAYING!

Septic shock from an intestinal blockage. At least, officially.
