deep blue demos
Просмотров 1438 месяцев назад
deep-sea demos - a trio of original songs I made for "Rare Fish" (a short film). 🐟🎥 I spent a lot of time messing around on my guitar in between editing sessions and made about 9 songs.The melancholy of the score didn't fit the short’s sugary vibe, so I cut them out of the film, leaving only a song called “sinking of you” during the montage section. I’m still proud of them though, and so I'm st...

Просмотров 499Год назад
How the heck do you write a good opening scene to a film? Great filmmakers have already figured out how to get us hooked; let's learn from 'em! "The Dark Knight" with that sick Joker reveal, the sad reality-check at the beginning of "Everything Everywhere All at Once", and Noah Baumbach's perfect opening scene in "The Squid and The Whale". In this video essay, I explore what makes a good openin...

On Screenwriting: Start with Characters
Просмотров 2692 года назад
Writing screenplays can be hard. In this video, I talk about the key to starting and finishing good screenplays without getting lost in the process. During the video, I reference Frances Ha and the MCU Spiderman trilogy as examples of how good stories are birthed from fleshed-out characters. A lot of the things I talk about in the video were learnt from Anne Lamott's book, 'Bird by Bird: Some I...

Video editing is an indispensable yet overlooked part of the filmmaking process. Whether you're editing movies, memes, or making videos for RUclips, mastering the art will elevate your work to new heights. During the video, I make reference to films like Dune, C'mon C'mon, Marriage Story, and Moonlight, which all have immaculate edits. I analyze some of what goes on in the editor's mind while m...

Hi
❤❤
❤❤
The filmmaker's filmmaker. 🤝🏾 ❤️
This is such a fantastic piece of art. Flaws and the way that improves our art- that shows each unique part of us can never be replaced. I often struggle with perfectionism, thank you for the reminder that that's what sets us apart.
Aw, thank you so much! I'm so glad you connected with it. I've wrestled with perfectionism forever and I don't know if that tendency ever completely goes away, but wishing for that is in itself another manifestation of perfectionism in a weird way. So I guess we've all got to be a little kinder to ourselves. We'll be okay though, haha. Your comment made my day :)
Such a beautiful video 😍😍 What I’m taking away from this video is this quote “This table isn’t perfect but I’m in love with it cause we made it” nice one 👏🏾👏🏾_
Cinema 🎥
:) loved this
Thanks dude <3 I love your videos too!
Good enough intro-notintro video. Dope. The thing about talking to the camera being therapeutic, I buy that.
"Make Something" - Got it. Cool Vid. Thanks.
Thanksss
Enjoyed watching man! Great work
Thank youuu
great video man! here's to making things 🥂
Now this is the type of content we should consume not some meaningless short tiktok. I hope 100 years from now we can still have access to it
Dude, thank you :)
😮💨👏🏾
nice video bro, really love the storytelling. about those AI films coming along, what if ppl don't really care? what if ppl would rather watch a good film than care about the director? the only benefit to keep producing films is so that ppl can reference your style when the want to watch an AI made film.
People can't help but care. Maybe I'm too optimistic about human nature, but I feel like we will always value human art over any industrial AI that churns out stuff whenever its prompted to - no matter how good they get. It's similar to the same way, we value handmade watches, old cars, and vinyl records. They may be more expensive and difficult to make, but the processes behind their creation add immense value to the finished product. Heck, we already have AI-generated music and I personally couldn't care less. I see a future where AI-generated films will an option for people looking for some silence-filling content to watch while they eat. They'll probably be good entertainment, but they can only have as much value as an off-brand Casio watch, while films made by human auteurs will be the Rolexes.
Forgot to mention. The anecdotes and infusions of history and the wood work craft; your Daddy will be especially proud. Hope to see More of this.
Way to God Sean. This is FILMtastic and makes me really proud.
Thank you so much!
The storytelling…. Oh my gosh ❤

Amazing, Sean

I literally was just talking to a friend about how you watch some films or movies, and you can't put into words how you feel after watching it. it's like it touched some part of your soul and all you can just do is feel. this cinematic practice is a perfect example!!!!
