Great video drop. I saw Armando's video earlier. It was exciting to hear about the project, "No Vacancy", and about Craterr the new company for creators. Thanks for the playlist! Cheers.
yoooo you guys were in Palmdale?! I’m sort of new to this I would’ve driven down and been some extra hands for free! Right now I’m just going through RU-vid university then gonna do some free music video work for practice
As somebody who is currently working in production but hit a wall as far as motivation, your videos have been super helpful. The tone and quality are great, keep it up!
Honestly the best thing I did for my knowledge of filmmaking was just crewing on other productions, on set experience imo is second to none working as a runner all the way up to 1st AC. You want to learn about filmmaking or just the day to day stuff that goes into a production day down to very small things like on set lingo etc, it’s honestly been so invaluable
I think one of the most beautiful things about these kinds of videos is also seeing the process of filming on Ryan Kao's side, and being able to take in different viewpoints from multiple creatives that I admire on a single project. Loved listening to your insights as a gaffer on this project, and listening to Ryan's side as a cam op
Thanks for another great video, Brady. I have learned so much from you. This production looked like so much fun! IN Norway and in my part of the country, there is no one doing things like this, I feel the same way you did I have to know everything. It is a lot of stress, and I am sure I will figure out that it is a team-sport. I can hear it form people like you, but before I actually experience it, I will never quite "Get It", as I am sure about a lot of people in the industry :-)
I am a very new but somewhat experienced film maker in kenya, our local cinema is pretty bad when it comes to video, but especially sound. I have sound engineering background and film i finally looking to buyiung a professional $2000 camera... i want to make an african version of game of thrones, my strategy is make a really compelling holly wood level trailer like i saw for you guys's NO VOCATION, then look for funding to build a feature... thanks for the inspiration.
I dig the content you're putting out Brady. I'd love to see you do a video on diffusion rags and what you would recommend for a small kit of rags (light, med, heavy diffusion) and maybe some use cases for each. Thanks!
This is was where I took a turn this year, deciding that I’m primarily a cinematographer and that’s where my focus is going to be because of that I’ve seen a lot of growth. It was had trying not to try to do everything, I find myself unconsciously trying to do other peoples jobs that’s because I’m used to doing everything having don’t that for a long time.
The Creator’s production stills consisted of specialists in every position, rather than a single man or 3-5 people wearing 5 different hats each, like most Run & Gun productions that have truly minimal crews. The crew numbers for the creator show there were well over 100 people involved in the making of the film, and over 75 people on set, with there being 40 people in Camera & Electrical Department alone. It’s smaller than many other Hollywood films, but I wouldn’t consider that a minimal crew.
@@Eyeofkamau Not on many of the location shots. You can see it in the behind the scenes. In Thailand they had a minimal crew on many shots. Other times they shot with Stage-Craft technology, which I would assume needs higher crew numbers. I'm sure the total number was 75, but I'm quite certain that for location shooting it wasn't nearly that much
@@leebrandt8597 oh for sure. If we’re talking only specific shots, then yes. That happens with even larger film productions too. I think if there were a part of this No Vacancy film that required less, the Crater crew would have also when out with a minimal crew for those specific shots. Ultimately, that is all dependent on what the location, crew, and goals of the production call for though.
@@Eyeofkamau Gareth mentions that the tactic was to shoot the majority of the film on location, he says 80 locations and they traveled over 10,000 miles, and while keeping the crew numbers low they were able to spend less than to build sets. In the end the movie was a lot cheaper to make than what most productions of that type spend
@@leebrandt8597 yup! That’s one thing I remember hearing about. I like that approach a lot. It’s great. It also makes it easier to do that when you’re filming with equipment that is better suited for it. Lightweight, compact gear, whether it be drones, cameras or whatever. Sometimes having the more demanding equipment, like full blown production bodies (or even several of them sometimes) calls for more crew members. The more minimal the approach, the less crew you need. We’re on the sane page ✅
