The “making coffee” sequence at the start of the short drives me nuts.

I really respect that you don't beat around the bush. You fill the 10 minutes with valuable information and I completely agree (even though in the past I've been guilty of relying on like all of these cliches hahaha).

I disagree on #6, because fancy stuff can make yor film look so much better. I dont have the budget or the resources but if I had them, I would definitely use them. Why not? I also disagree on #4. You can do great things using death as a narrative tool. Maybe not even sadness but a look to human violence. Whats wrong with using Death? Idk about #4. I kinda agree there. #3 could work if done well, but I guess I agree. #2 could be good if you catch the audience, but you have to avoid being cheesy. #1...I gueeeess you could say its a cliche, but it could be good to start as a practice.

Lets hear about your influences. I assume you agree with stealing from the best.

At the moment, for me, its certainly about finding the time :(. I get frustrated that I'd like to make better content, but on top of a full time job, in the end, I just think - 'you know what', get something done, from start to end and get it posted and see what happens - chucking small pebbles into the pond and waiting to see if any of them make a ripple. . .

i didnt understand the thrird of what you said becouse of this “youtube ll punish me thing”. I dont think it will and you can safely say anything and people ll understand your video

You seem like a pessimistic person that just doesn’t like action scenes.

Unending misery : where the filmmakers decide to make a 'serious ' film by highlighting the hopeless plight of the protagonist, in pursuit of awards.

Thanks for the video. Really helpful. I can't believe how off my monitor was *facepalm*

Jesus FN Christ and I thought I had problems forming a coherent thought with the content I create

bro they sign a multi million dollar deal to memorize less than 10 lines... who wouldnt do that?

I'm tired of having to watch people puke and piss.

worst advice ever. Unless you want to make mediocre boring crap.

You definitely are not too school for cool!

(Supposed to be) a professional hitman racking the slide of Glock right before the job. (NOBODY carries Glock with empty chamber.) On top of that, it's a big close up shot, clearly showing the internals when the ejection port is opened. Telling the world that it's an airsoft, and no research had been done.

Although I'm not a filmmaker, this video was very interesting. I could think of examples for almost every item on his list. Nice work! I have a small addition. I wish filmmakers would stop adding pointless scenes of men urinating. Those scenes are stuck into sooooo many movies, and they usually have ZERO to contribute to the story. They usually just distract from the scene. One notable exception is from "Crocodile Dundee 2." Dundee sneaks up on a DEA agent (Stephen Root, aka "stapler guy") who is urinating in a public restroom. Dundee holds a knife up to the agent's throat, and then up to his genitals, to get important information from him. (No genitals were actually shown because the audience had an imagination.) After Dundee leaves, the agent looks down as he zips up his pants and says very quietly, "How ya doin', buddy?" Such a great scene from 1988 that still stands out in my memory.

Make as much money off of her as they can until she becomes unusable? They her pimps or her managers?

Agree with everything, except too much compassion for her financials. If she makes $20k to show up to a dumb club in Miami (as some reports have it) then she can just do that 25 times and buy half a million in T-Bills and collect interest. Along with other random merchandising crap she should be fine for a while. Of course whether she’s smart enough to hold onto any of it or blows it all on a Lamborghini I have no idea

Youre such an incel

She was kinda cute. The joke sorta landed. I'm never gonna meet a girl like her in real life and I'm not interested in anything else she has to say. Moving on....

Been an FX TD for 20+ years. I do not frown upon AI. It's growing pains. Remember when everyone was trashing Photoshop? How it was "cheating" or how it was for talentless geeks. How the term "Photoshopped" was a derogatory insult, meaning "fake" for about a decade, and then everyone stopped paying attention. It became a standard workplace application for anything artistic. Sure, anyone could use it. How many could pull off a Ryan Church though, while painting digitally? I remember when I worked in publishing in the 90's and our chief was saying computers would introduce talentless hacks to the art of "pagemaking" and that it would ruin the industry. That it was all trash. He came from the days when people did magazine cover layouts with an exacto knife and a glue stick. AI is ruining nothing, much like a person who only knows how to hold a brush is no threat to all the painters, since he thinks of himself as one. AI is like VFX - it's successful when it's invisible. If it's your main selling point, then of course, that's all you have. An experimental work done by an inexperienced artist, using beta-test grade software. When AI is invisible, and you can't tell it's there, then it is used appropriately. Sure, full short films will be doable, but not yet. Give it 1-2 more years. Let this new ecosystem mature and weed out the talentless hacks and sour-grape critics, who dismiss the potential of AI assisted filmmaking. The emphasis is on "assisted". AI will not be best at everything. Let it do what it does well, but quality control is on you, as a filmmaker.

Let's be honest: She has 3 main types of viewers.The youtubers who comment on her for views, the people who watch her ironically, and the simps. The simps ain't gonna listen to her drone about "Pookie", and the youtube commenters will hop on to the next big thing immediately. She had her 20 minutes of fame already.

I like your hairy legs. It's pretty much all i could think of during this whole video. The long, flowing, majestic locks of hair on your legs.

No, it was a dumb meme to begin with. They handed some random girl that said something mildly funny a bunch of money and promises of fame...only for people to realize she's not that funny or interesting. She's just kinda normal in the most boring way. Who could have predicted?

Oh no my first-ever film has 4 of those cliches

Haha...weird and boring at the same time.

Ai is for people without talents. I think - writing a story is better, all people are imaging and rendering in their mind if it is a good story - way BETTER than any AI creepy video. Or film, or animate...make a team...create something meaningful AI is just hype that need all the energy in the world.

This is just bad advice. These all just seem like these are cliches that bother you personally rather than actual, tangible advice. Almost every single one of these has been used to great effect by talented short filmmakers all the time, concepts about expiring, puff use, and shooty slices are in a lot of stories because people find that interesting. And I’ve seen a lot of great short filmmakers say some great stuff with all of them. Im not saying this out of arrogance, because I’ve definitely seen really bad student films use all these. But I think what you are trying to point out is that most of these bad students films are using these cliche’s in substitute of a compelling story rather then in service of one. That’s the real problem, that students lack the confidence or creativity to make a really meaningful or engaging story, and thus use these as crutches. If you want real advice, if you don’t have a story that feels real and exciting, than no amount of fancy camera tricks or smarmy dialogue is gonna cover that up. Remember that each scene should have an arc for the characters, and that scenes are in service of the story. It’s totally cool if you just wanna make a edgy, shooty bang bang kinda short film, just have an actual story to go along with it, and have it be one that gets a reaction out of you and the people around you. But at the end of the day, none of us really have a formula to this. But this advice isn’t gonna help.

i hate A1 even more now lol, it's ruining everything..

the bunny would have ran, also 'map of the universe' c'mon how would that happen! it would take many life times to even read it

3:02 I’m watching big brother now at 3 am 😂

"Puff puff", "People expiring", "Doin' it"... Jesus Christ, is RUclips for 5 years olds now?

As an Australian, i think having an Australian version of The Office being made is absolutely terrible, its just going to be a laughing stock compared to the two goats

People need to remember that this is how people reacted when the US office was announced

Anything works better than the Australian office... I hope Gervais and Merchant got paid a bag

How can you see dislikes? I thought they took that away.

a lot of this feels opinionated more than actually true, i think people have different styles and if they’re amazing with camera flairs or a long conversation of a film then that’s how they do it, it can be done wrong but absolutely shouldn’t be written off

there is so many movies that everything you do will be cliche in some way. Your task is to make this "cliche" like noone before you

At ANY point of the short film: *Main character suddenly wakes up from a dream

2:52 Gotta disagree. Filmmaking, any art, is just expressing what you find interesting. You can’t change what you would have done because you’re afraid other people won’t like it. And besides, if something is interesting to you, there will be people in the world who also find it interesting.

“It wasn’t a question” a simple “thank you” would have sufficed

Guess for the last one : OMG IT WAS ALL A DREAM FIOU IM ALIVE Nah too bad for me

As a lover of Palm Springs, and of Nerdwriter1’s Passengers essay, gotta say I LOVE this!

This rings very true. First draft can be vomit! It’s how much you improve on that vomit it that counts. Love it.

I’m happy that I’ve only given into like 2 of these cliches

RUclips is gonna punish me if I said this wrong is the worst cliche

So basically.... Don't be weird or experimental the only time you may have a chance to be

I didnt understand why because of 1 interview, this woman wanted to end her job. I mean...huh?
