$400 for a fake hazmat suit, that suit better protect me from Ebola at that price.
Probably bought right as everyone price gouged everything!
I bought a fake plastic cup for $988
@Syon Kanaginhal and that’s free shipping
It would only protect you against Hazmats, not Ebola.
Ebola is an std soo yea no ones gonna fck u in that suit 😂
I made a film alone called "The Invisible Man". But it didn't turn out too good because every scene just showed empty rooms.
There’s actually a movie called the invisible man which actually interacted with things.
Joshua Pajmel almost can’t believe the effects they had in 1933.
Write your next post in invisible ink....please
That caught me off guard xD
So nice
Making films alone is how you can describe every one of my films.
Funny enough I think it should actually be a film.
Same here man! I’m a hopeful aspiring horror filmmaker, and everything I’ve done so far- I’ve done alone, aside from my boyfriend as the actor in them, I write, film, edit, sound, lighting, etc.
Yeah
Not something to be proud about
@@HarshDoshiTheHarsh Everybody starts somewhere, hotshot.
Alternative title: Making a film with all my friends.
As we said in this episode - he shot this film alone, with the only help being his wife to hit record for him some times. He also did all the editing, sound design, etc... The only help he had was with VFX and the final grade.
@@filmriot r/woooosh
Film Riot I hate that I have to explain the joke, but the joke is that he would have to do his short film all by hisself because he has no friends
Film Riot With all _my_ friends. Hahaha.
feel u harry
The Tripod. My best friend for my shorts in quarantine. We became really good buddy’s.
Peter Kae shorts?

Also, you're famous. I might sound nitpicky but having followers helps w motivation.

Making a Short Film Alone:
Joe at the end: "I'd like to thank all the people who helped me"
Me: ಠ_ಠ
I made it all by myself, but I did have friends help remotely. Filmmaking is about collaboration! I had a friend help me write, I had my wife help me lug gear and press record and I had a colorist and VFX person.... That is a tiny group of people to make something like this.
@@joesimonDP I understand you, and kudos to you for your hard-work, and amazing result. But i guess the reason this comment has 8 likes, is because you had friends help you remotely, in people's eyes, you didn't make it entirely by yourself. So the title would have been better if it read "How to make a Shortfilm with the Smallest Crew Possible" - or something along those lines.
See what I mean?
I was wondering why he kept saying “WE”
I thought something was wrong also when he kept saying “We”. Now I see why. My idea of shooting a film alone is just me by myself doing everything. Maybe he meant shooting a film that only he was in. Having your wife hauling equipment and recording from the camera is not making a film alone. Then adding in a script writer, colorist, and a VFX artist….. Yeah a small crew is not alone. I have been learning to do all the above on my own. Like reading the script Writers Bible, learning to use Davinci Resolve for coloring, and I already took a class on using Nuke in college. Looks like I might have to break down and learn to use Blender. Since it is free.
@@RamenKing2023 same here
The real question is how do I, a young teenager create a short film within my bedroom and perhaps a small bathroom using my phone or my camera by myself with no extra help at all.
Planning. Think as a filmmaker and spend a really good amount of time in "pre-production" (especially since you're the only one doing everything). Before shooting, create a "shot list" with all the shots you want (following the idea you have in mind or the script if you happened to have one), then create a "STORY BOARD" perhaps the most important! where you draw every single shot/movement in each box. Im sure you can find free story boards on Google. When it comes to lighting, trying using natural light or practical lights.
what this guy said. preproduction is god, and the time spent here will have the best roi than any other area
Short answer, creativity
Just try it. Plan out a 60 second short. Even a 30 second short. Heck, even 15 seconds. Tv commercials are generally those lengths and they have to manage to tell at least enough of a story to get a viewer interested.
And don't get discouraged if it sucks. It SHOULD be bad if you've never done it before. How dull a world we would live in if everyone was good at anything they tried right away.
This is something I literally just thought up while typing this comment:
- You're in your bedroom, bored. Or doing something tedious, like your homework
- You see a rubber duck (or other toys) on your desk/drawer/shelf
- You decide you want to take a bath like you did as a kid
- In bath, playing with rubber duck (bonus points for adding soap).
Boom, got yourself a little story about remembering the joys of being a little kid. And you don't even have to get into the bathtub if you don't want to. If you have toys that float it can just be a shot of you sitting by the tub playing with the toys in the water.
Ryan Cross this 👆🏼👌🏼
I've never clicked on a video faster
Same
So true
Same
Different
Kewl Story 😂
3:26 Really wish that suit was 7 cents more, that would've been nice
Nice
Dude, he had the chance
I see what you did there!!!!🤣
Takes some balls to film yourself in a fake hazmat suit in the middle of a street around other people. I can’t even use myself as the subject in photos in this manner without feeling overly conscious of any attention and weird looks coming my way.
especially in a village or small town ^^'
This is where not giving a fuck comes in handy me and best friend make movies together he has the same issue constantly thinking about others and what they think when 3 to 5 people show up in a park wearing colorful costumes and I am here to just reminding him and everyone what others think doesn't matter
First rule ..lose your ego
You say "we" a lot for someone that shot it alone...
He shot it himself but had other people working on the editing, vfx, sound/narration, things like that.
This is exactly what we need right now. Thank you!
This is actually what i'm doing right now with two short films in pre-production that I plan to write, shoot, edit, and act in, doing literally everything by myself. This is really motivating and inspirational!
How did it go?
@@yun-pg8cr I've actually not started production on either one of them since college and work have consumed most of my time. However, my focus has switched to just one of the two short films right now and I'm currently picking away at the script, which is in its final stages. Thanks for asking!
@@DavidBubarYT ayyy nice. good luck to you ma guy :D
@@DavidBubarYT good luck! I’m doing the same for my film class
Wishing you much success! I'm also starting work on my own short film 🎥
2 years ago, I travelled to Iceland by myself and slept in a car for 6 days to film a short film. It was the most beautiful and spiritually-rewarding experience; I highly recommend everyone to try this.
It really reminds you why you love film...
due I went to Iceland in 2017 and it was amazing! I just bought a drone and I would like to go back and get some footage with it.
Sweet! You pleased with your results? Love that you went all that way on a mission 🎥👍🏼
Just started making a short film starring my 13 year old son. Using c4d , after effects and premiere. Look out for Lockdown coming soon
For making a movie alone he used "we" a whole lot. So, not alone. Sometimes you don't have someone to push a record button, help write or edit. Having these things makes it not alone. That aside. Cool project. Looks good.
This is incredible...👌🏿
Hi
OK so I watched the short film first......but maybe it was just me, but the film didn't make a lot of sense!! Sure the images were stunning!! The effects were well done, and the locations and film strategies gave the film depth.....BUT there was no real "story" to the film!! It didn't actually GO any were, never explained his motivation or explore WHY he was all alone!! And honestly what was the deal with the space ship? Are there aliens? Where did the other humans go?
Honestly in some cases I had independent films when they alienate the viewer like this film does!! Again the effects were stunning and visually it was some really great work....but if there was a story to this film it wasn't translated very well is all I am saying!!
I agree with you and I didn't even think it was particularly good visually.
You the best channel and I created my own film trick because of you
I love this channel 😍😍
Been shooting my last 7 films alone, truly alone :P Must be nice having moral support on set. So I'd say "alone" doesn't just mean an extra hand, it also means that you're truly alone, with no one to bounce ideas off of, with no one to even care.
at least you yourself presumably care. its like life, ultimately, the only person that you have to live w is yourself. keep at it if it's your passion. we'd all love support, but gotta make do with what's avails. and build on that. dont be afraid to work in the dark/solo. keep goin. u'll learn more about urself and the world that way anyway imo
any tips for beginners ??
I love how Joe explains his process of how he made "The Volunteer". And like him I've made three shorts during quarantine some where for class while one I thought up of and made. I enjoying making those shorts and hope to make more soon.
I'd love to see them man!!
I make short films plz check them out at Torch Idiot and TBF-SCRIPT.
I also find it funny how he keeps speaking in we even tho it was all him and himself. Alone. XD
Gotta say his notes on adding set decorations to the bathroom was really cool. I also made a film like this during quarantine called 'The Strange Visitor'. Keep working hard however you can and stay safe everyone :)
I'm a young girl from a third world country with a lots of dreams that are certainly not going to be fulfilled but I love imagining about making it big. I'd love to make a film one day!💙
A more accurate title: Making a short film with a very small crew, have a once-in-a-lifetime event to create stunning locations and have a VFX artist to create CGI.
Not QUITE alone.
Amazing film, it would be amazing even without the current situation. I was wondering if we could get some insight into how the HUD and 3D Modeling effects were implemented? I’d be super interested because I’ve always wanted to learn that sort of stuff.
I just watched it and I'm not going to lie... That was the best Sci-Fi short film I have ever seen! The cinematography and fluidity of the scenes were so well crafted. Awesome Work!!!
What?
The film riot video=sci fi short film??
Love this so much!
Having just watched all 3 seasons of Stranger Things (love the hoodie) and being curious about film making since childhood, I recently thought "now's the time to start..." which quickly become "oh crap, I don't know anything about film making and I live in a little city".
BOOM - Film Riot to the rescue and excuses busted by Joe.
Can't wait to get started...thanks guys.
Thanks for making this video! I really need it😁
Joe is the best!
Hands down Joe.....what an amazing short film :)
Right! So impressive, Joe is a badass!
James Deakins said your name last podcast, so you've basically made it
Whose name?
@@xyloch Ryan Connolly (Film Riot). Cause he helped Roger and James with some technical problems on their podcast
Not only was it a great film, but it was so cool that Joe gave us a look into his creative thinking and process. Thanks to Joe and Film Riot for this video.
Since I have a Kinect (and unreal engine) I'm making a Green Lantern short
Cool
Every time I try to make a film alone I end up firing either the Director or the PA on the first day.
Wow, it's amazing what you can achieve alone when you have a nice home, a really expensive camera and lens, co-writer, colorist and VFX artist.
Wolfie You need to work with your issues.
This is very interesting. Last night I shot 90% of a short film with myself being cast, crew and D.O.P.
Review my short horror film pliss sir..my first horror short film.. If you say im have skill to produce horror film i will make one more film..tq
Dude this is how all of my productions have been the past few years. Literally just me & my actor. I’m gonna be the DP for the biggest project I’ve worked on in 2021 & I’ll be nice to have a crew & bounce ideas off the director.
I made babies and now they are my little actors haha. I'm currently working on my first short movie about sick children
Note: "Always Sunny" is available on Hulu's "FX on Hulu." Watching it right now in the US. :o)
I've also made one. You can see it on my channel.
Cool!
Tittle says “alone”
But he use “We” a lot??
4:18
Anyways great stuff can’t wait to watch it.
Because Joe is someone who doesn't like to take all the credit. He's used to always share it. But as this shows and I said in the beginning, he shot this alone with a little bit of help from his wife with hitting record, etc...
Film Riot Anyways good stuff bro.
I like his cinematography it’s on point and beautiful.
@@ToomStuntTeam I'd imagine he means his wife when he says "we," yeah.
Making a film alone is hard! You have to focus on creativity, technically, and put on many hats. But in the end it’s really rewarding. And you get to learn a lot! Because of this pandemic I did a film by myself at my house. I would greatly appreciate any feedback!! The short is called “The Last Day of Quarantine” a Ferris Bueller’s Day off Parody .
Good work, how did it turn out? You happy with it!? Home alone with a camera…so why not🎥😁👌🏼not seen ‘Ferris Bueller’ in a long long time! I love creative people!
I’ve been making a Forrest Gump Parody, been all over England to film it (my 4 year old son is playing the part of Forrest) it’s been an exhausting project and it’s taking forever to finish, 2 years so far!
Our small home run studio closed down due to the COVID. We bounced around the idea of shooting this "end of the world idea" we've had forever. Due to that being depressing (as was stated) we made some ridiculous cartoons about vegetables! Enjoy.
He called himself "the talent" four times in one paragraph.
..In a scene where he's sitting silent at a table.
The suit was bought on $420.62
Just missed it by $0.07 😢
thanks for this video. Not only is this useful as someone trying to make films on my own, this guy also seems to have some of the same taste as i do in terms of lighting and stuff so there was some valuable advice and examples here
Love this. My latest short film took 45 days considering it's just me and my daughter. Lots of work.
Discount super expensive lights and camera gear.
how did you get a video of an alien spacecraft? Shutterstock videos?
Looking forward to making a film entirely by myself. Thank you for the useful tips!
Love the hoodie, this is cool❤🔥
making a film alone broke me, too much pressure. 14 short films, mostly horror. One dark drama, one comedy.
I have other scripts to make as films.
I already make films alone. Most of the time.
P.S. that's an expensive hazmat suit for a fake one.
Well they do use high quality ones for films and stuff but idk about that one?
His beard reminds me of Joaquin from You were never really here
Great work. I'm just gonna suggest one thing. DO NOT edit your audio in video editing software's. Just because they ad few extra audio plugins and features now day doesn't mean you're in right place.
He talks about 'we' while making the film alone, I guess he means himself and the camera;)
Congratulations very good!
I always make shorts alone and I think it's the best way to learn because you can't ask for help and you must do it by yourself.
And when you're done you're really proud of the result, you're saying "I can do it, I don't need an all crew to make something"
In my case, it really helps for self-confidence
thank you FILM RIOT for content you are legends guys !
Amazing work. I applaud em for dat
Why dont just use green screen, edit them on premier pro and the colourgrade on davincii resolve?
Much needed, thank you. Y'all always come thru with the helpful vids
I made a feature length film completely by myself: development, writing, directing, producing, pre-production, production design, acting, camera motion control, cinematography, VFX, music and sound design, editing, and I got it distributed. The film is called Gyrus and I made it for $7,000, most of which was for a PC that could handle editing and also the motion control system and camera. A few hundred bucks for props. The film is a contemplative art house film that is simultaneously a physical and spiritual journey home, converging into a single moment between life and eternity. Working on second film now.
can you make a video on the VFX of this short?
400 for a hazmat suit....the real crime here
Informative and inspiring! Thanks!

this is clicklbait
Same thought!
I made a film alone. A feature film. Wanna see the trailer?
If anyone wanna watch, it's Zurviving.
he's wearing so many hats he's addressing himself in the third person
🤣🤣🤣
finally i found a f*ucking video on this after two years
This is sensational!!! I love the DP telling their process and going in depth with each scence. As a DP with training wheels it's nice to see more experienced people in rhe field and how they operate. I made a short also lol. It's not as good though. Thanks Film Riot!!! You guys rock!!!!!
I need motivation 😫....equipment with no ambition, not even this will help but cool info though 🤔
Did you find the motivation in the end?
why is premiere pro so buggy? the bigger the project gets the worse it gets
Really great to hear about the thought in the lighting and set design. I have 4 shorts on my channel which I'm proud of, but this is a bit more of a step up! Lol
There is a feature film which was made kind of alone in India 'otha seruppu' you can check it out on Netflix. Won't be disappointed
I wanna learn CGI soo badly 😔💜😓
What were you writing on the table?
Making a short film alone. Thanks his team for helping with the short film
What a fantastic explanation and the short was insane!!! Any tips on starting out with VFX? For example, adding a spaceship to a shot.
Always love seeing these one-man projects. I created one, myself for the #CormanChallenge. It's actually called ROGER and it's on my RUclips channel. Two minutes long. I'd love to know what you think. Cheers.
Fan from India
Extremely inspiring, thank you!
This is fantastic! For someone who’s only getting into this stuff I find this to be very educational.
It's got a real "Arrival" feel.
a FAKE hazmat suit cost 400USD?!!! well a real one with decent quality is only twice the price!
Gosh, all of my shorts are pretty much just me. It takes a tremendous amount of time and effort. I'd happy if anyone could check them out. I have expended months just working in a single one.
His Arri rig is amazing. Great set up. Thats pro dp level there. Having to direct yourself mustve been hard. Theres SO much you gotta think about behind the camera. Id hate being an actor on top of all that work.
Majority of my projects for film school went a lot like this, except I didn't know a lot about what I was doing. Watching this, especially with everything the way it is now, is super inspiring me to get a project like this done. :)
Very inspiring. I think it's a great challenge to make the movie yourself and try to do as much as you can. I did and I'm very happy with the Sci-fi film I produced with no budget at all. Which has since won multiple film awards.
I'm sure most of your audience is using their cellphones to watch your videos, but I follow the rule that to film and export at the highest resolution available. Please, don't take it personally your content is great and I love what you are giving us for free! I would just film and export in 4K. I've been a subscriber for several years now (with a different account though) ❤❤❤
Another great episode! Very informative and inspirational.
pretty cool job, liked it..... although... maybe............. he shouldn't have been out shooting during quarantine?
How did he work the focus spots / calibrate lenses?
Outstanding work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I ALWAYS SEEM TO MAKE MOVIE ALONE I THINK EXSPECIALLY SINCE I NEVER HAD THE MONEY OR SUPPORT TO PUT SOMETHING Descend together who maybe one day
Niiice! I also shot a short film during Covid, all filmed on my phone, (but it’s actually taken me 2 years far!) It’s a Forrest Gump Parody with a 4 year old Gump, It’s the running sequence across England with a story. Doing it all by myself, I’m exhausted!! 🏃🏼♂️but I can’t wait to show the world one day😁Forrest Gump Fans are gonna love it!
Videos like this are extremely useful and important. Thanks for this
It’s tricky for sure. Been working on something similar. Great video!
Good luck with your project!
Film Riot, your NordVPN coupon code only saves $1.00. Is that because NordVPN already offers 70% off with a 3 year subscription plan purchase?
That things means nothing. A "short film"???? Dafuk man, commercial breaks are longer. There's no substance, nothing. That guy must not quit his burger flippin' job at Wendy's.
I think the short film is fantastic and inspiring as someone who've always been a one man crew. It does challenge you to work intuitively around these limitations of not having an extra person to help.
.....I hope Ryan knows that It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is available on Hulu....
