Happy wedding day 🩷

[Oh boy, this comment escalated into half a novel.. Sorry! :D] This is such a great insightful behind the scenes view and a lot of great lessons to be learned! Also, a great final result with an interesting and compelling story and concept - as opposed to so many short films that seem more like "tech demos" in a way, without much substance. Also, really cool cinematography, sound design, amazing editing and "special effects". There is only one area where I'd like to share my 2 cents' worth of unsolicited feedback and I hope it doesn't come across the wrong way (I am very aware that your film is miles away from whatever I could do at this point, hehe). I feel like an area where you could still grow is some of the writing. I am not talking about the plot or story (which is great), but rather the specific lines. They are not "bad" per se, but I think they are actually holding YOU back because your VISUAL (or non-verbal) storytelling is so very strong. While watching the film, I felt quite a few times that the spoken dialogue and monologuing are slowing your story down. Maybe the monologuing was a very intentional characterization of the role, in which case it's just a matter of subjective taste (and I simply didn't like it). What I'm talking about: Terry ranting about having just lost his job - We get this from the box with the plant and his interaction with the co-worker. Don't need to spell everything out. Trust your visual storytelling (which is great). Maybe he could rant in a more oblique way (maybe referencing something the boss said during the firing etc.). Which would give you more opportunity to characterize Terry at a deeper level. Everybody is upset when they lose their job. Having bills to pay and a family to support is almost cliché. What could Terry say that is uniquely Terry that lets us get to know HIM more in the first few seconds he is on the screen. Bonus points if this maybe somehow already foreshadows the "unprofessionalism", which honestly comes out of the blue at the end of the film (and therefore the final punch line doesn't hit as strongly as it might). "Calm down, Terry; just listen to the radio." This could be conveyed non-verbally which might be more powerful. -> We all know "Show don't tell." - since you are really really good at SHOWING, you don't need to TELL the same thing as well. So many things are sufficiently implied by your production design, the framing of the shots, the great acting. Saying them out loud diminishes them rather than enhancing them. The great thing is: You are actually doing this very well at other points in the script! The cut to the depressed tv-dinner scene. This works beautifully without spelling everything out. Imagine your script had a line that had Terry say "Man, I'm so depressed. I lost my job and I'm broke. And now I need a new job." You don't need that and you (as the film maker) know it because the non-verbal storytelling is so strong. Another point where it works really well: "Hello Terry, I understand you are looking for a job." Imagine having Terry say "Yeah, I am." In your script Terry doesn't answer the question, instead going for a counter-question. And that is great. WE the audience already know Terry needs a job. No need to spell it out, so you efficiently use that line of dialogue to characterize Terry in the situation (confusion, anxiety, intriquedness...). Same thing with "If I took the job, what exactly would I be doing?" And again, you know that it is much more powerful to cut directly to a confusing, exciting chase scene instead of having the caller say anything. THIS is great. So, again, I'm not saying the writing is weak. Rather I'd say: embrace the very strong non-verbal story telling, the quick-cuts, leaving things to the audience's imagination and creating subtext &characterization with your dia- and monologue. One more writing-related thing I noticed, which might be very picky. In retrospect, I really didn't love the radio report about the lottery winner. Maybe this was an intentional misdirection (like in the very first shot), but to me it set up the expectation of: "Ok, so the plot is going to be about Terry robbing the winner of the lottery, because he feels the world is unfair." The way the camera gets really close on the radio, the way it emotionally impacts Terry and above all the timing of this "plot point" in the narrative frames it as an inciting/plot event: "Having lost his job, Terry learns of a new way to get money." To me, this meant that the effect of the ACTUAL key plot event (the mysterious phone call) was less impactful because I thought we had already passed that part of the plot. Something in my mind kept asking "but what about the lottery?". To show Terry's frustration about the injustice of the world without putting too much focus on that specific potential plot thread, maybe he could switch through the radio stations and everywhere there are random people celebrating good news and success and riches. So, again - this isn't a dig at you or trashing your writing. The opposite, if anything: Wanted to let you know that your visual story telling is strong enough and that maybe you can consider and explore how trusting in your non-verbal storytelling skills while writing the lines may help elevate your overall films to the next level :)

Could you do a version of this but for 3D animation - where there's no restriction of "camera equipment" since it's a digital camera and you can put as many as you want in a scene - thanks!

Honestly this is well done .. Congrats team. yal did great

I am now wondering how can I use these in my woodworking videos lol

Great shot. Can I ask about the main light? Produtc name and used % of power, please.

New follower here, stumbled on your channel and I think I’ve watched 70% of your videos without realizing it. I do have a question, on this video you mic’ed people on their skin under their shirt. What tape did you use to do that. I’d love to see videos from you showing techniques, framing, how you expose, mic people etc. I like your videos a lot, thank you!

So do you use any of the black magic cloud or even the proxies are on lucid? Or you’re just using the cloud for actual davinci project files which is even with so many projects well within 2 GB?

This short was exceptional. From concept to Final Cut! Makes me not want to release the short film I’m working on lol…

I want watch thus after work please like my comment

this is soo good, everything about it was perfect!

'Other people will hire you for what you're passionate about'...bingo. Don't fake, just be you, and that's how you grow your organic base...bingo.

Oh Terry 😂😂😂😂 absolutely good film

.....that short for the resource sucked the guy over acted all of it and takes are grotesque to say the least not even helium was able to save it !

Hi thank you for this video. Could you please tell us what lens you used for the b-roll you show at the beginning of the video?

I'm actually looking into creating a small business such as this. I could start out with practically no expenses except for my time. My problem is that I don't know anything about music or composing. Having music is practically vital for the type of content I'm looking to produce. Should I pay for stock music license or just hire someone to compose my audio.

English or Spanish?

Great stuff

The camera don't give you the ever so overly used "cinematic" look... your settings, experience, technique, exposure, editing, editing technique and lenses do. Aside from a tad more dynamic range of my A7Rii and it being a aps-c. It's a no brainer to pick this up. "For only $2,000 more"? bruh lol. Nah for me on that my guy. For LESS than that, I will end up with the Lumix S5iiX first. Now on this video... 1:40 looks bad ass bro! Love the look on that. Prime example right there lol

Thank you for teaching me.

Making a 1500$ short film with you $50,000 worth of gear

Make a 1500 movie......with 50k+ equipment......

Excellent video, thank you!

What was your color process for this one ? It looks amazing

Thank you for putting this out there, we all need a help!!!

Beautiful video and great explanations.

Does starting from nothing includes having experience, but couldn't afford any gears????

I'm learning a lot from your content as an aspiring film maker.

This is amazing work,came across your channel today.Subscibe ryt now.

loved it! everyone knows, you got to wear gloves! 🤣

just 2000 more is double the price

Great list! Everyone takes shots at slow-motion. It's not that slow-motion is boring or over used, it's that people don't know how to edit slow-motion footage and think because the footage is in slow-motion that means it's cool, interesting, good. They also over shoot in 120fps. I stay shooting in slow-motion because if you hold your shot long enough, the footage can be speed back up to 24 or 30fps. Giving you the best of both worlds. Also if you start to view the world in sequences and shoot that way, people forget what frame rate you shot in and are engrossed in the story you're telling. Viva slow-motion! 😁

usted vive en estados amigos y con todo respeto tener una fx30 o una fx3 para usted es super facil y la calidad no es tan notoria como en otras ubicaciones donde es mas complicado conseguir una de esas camaras, en mi opinion usted consigue esoen menos de 2 semanas trabajando y obviamente debe ser super recomendado hasta yo lo recomiendo en cualquiera de las dos situaciones.

Thank you so much for this 🙏🏾

Too much work. A business is an entry that can run without the owner. This seems like a job or a gig. What happens if you get sick?

Wanna be a director, but gotta work on my ability to explain my ideas hahah, but great work! +1 sub🤘🏻

Hi Drew, thanks for your advice. I would love to know if you have a course or a video where you explain how to achieve that cinematic look, that is, that soft and natural color. Do you achieve it from an in-camera or editing setup 🧑🏻‍💻? I have an fX3 and I record Slog3 + Gamut cinema.

Yes! To answer your question, I’ll love to see more short films and BTS. Great content and inspiring. Thanks.

An absolute masterpiece! Great casting choice snagging Andrew from CoBeAc!

I NEED this video thank you so much ! Your short is so cool it was so great thank you very muuuuccchhh

Love this! Especially since I am about to shoot a film in September. Great BTS. Subbed

Thank you very much for sharing. I am also working hard to accumulate experience and hope to be able to make movies.

Increíble!
