Howdy. I shot Peanuts. The stitch in time shop was actually there. We didn’t do any sort of vfx work. We hopped into that video store with a few hours, one light, and a dream. Glad you enjoyed! Edit: Also that glow is coming from the lens we were using. It was an old Cooke Varotal 20mm-100mm T3 from the 80s.
Coming from a gaffer in LA, your lighting worked out very nicely. Great job, dude. I love seeing DPs embrace the “less is more” attitude toward lighting, especially in practical locations with existing lighting. It’s so often the all around best approach.
This is exactly the kind of information that up and coming filmmakers need in order to get their first few films off the ground. Thanks for the info and inspiration!
Sooo, a week ago i've got rejected from filming school for second time ( in my country they accepting new students every 2years ) So now all I have is to teach by myself, and your channel will help me in my own way to cinematography, let's go! :) and thank you for sharing with us such an content
You have a great mindset! I’m not old enough to go to film school yet so I’m doing the same thing. Keep it up bro, we’ll be new filmmakers by the end of these two years!
Don’t overlook networking while you learn your craft outside of school. Generally, your classmates and alumni network from a film school are the biggest asset you gain upon graduating. Get to know the people making movies in your area and become part of that community.
@@minesxltawesome! My tips for accumulating skill: - film as much as possible - be on set as often as possible - learn writing, editing - get feedback -find a peer group - find mentors - get clients, film for money -experiment a lot - fail forward - finish your projects - set goals - set deadlines
Thank you to reacting to A.S.K. Yeah I agree I could have cut the montage shorter, not sure why I didn’t haha. But thank you for watching it, i’m glad you enjoyed!!
Yeah, that title sucked, don't know what I was thinking now that I'm looking back on it, lol. Titles/thumbnails/naming stuff has always been my biggest weak spot. Really glad you liked the technical aspects. Thanks for the review/tips!
Can we appreciate that last sound effect on A.S.K, the clapper being synched to the handshake, the closing slate representing the lost opportunity and the seal of the other persons deal as well as tying it back to his filmmaking dream! Very thought out film!
I think the black and white worked super well for your film! I tried picturing some of it in colour after he read your email and I definitely think black and white was the right call
In the final film, the film the protag watched was an experimental animation piece from 1933 by Len Lye from NZ, called the peanut vendor, the creature is giant monkey.
this is a really good youtube channel, found it last night and I'm binging it. Thanks for creating this for us, it's really helpful. More helpful than other ones tbf
Your channel inspired me to go back to school to at least get certified in film. Going to speak with a guidance counselor next week. I've had a small film project in the works for a couple years, so hopefully this will be a massive step towards getting paper to screen. Thanks for keeping the dream alive.
Hi, I made a short film a while ago. It's not very good, but I would love for you to see it and maybe get feedback too. Or maybe for a different film in the future. Where and how could we like "submit videos"?
This is so helpful. I’m currently working on my first short film for fun and I can’t wait to submit it here. I hope you do some more reviews so that I can get you to analyze my future work. Thanks for all the knowledge man I appreciate you taking the time to teach us. I’ve already learned a lot from some of your other videos.
Glad to see you’re carrying this series onwards. I think I finally fixed why I wasn’t getting your newsletter anymore. My quirky email server kept marking it as SPAM. I may have shook it loose. I have some older shorts that may run a bit longer than these, but if you put another call out down the line, I’ll see if they’re worth throwing in there.
It’s great that you’re doing this. The first film I don’t think needs added music, would ruin the idea of the ending. Maybe some quiet breathes or annoyance from the guy. Just to give it a realistic feel, and then let it be what it is at the end.
These videos are the best ever it's like live feedback so I know how to fix my film,I did film yesterday and was editing and my cam was out if focus for 3 scenes so we gotta re do it but love your channel man🎉
@@StandardStoryCo thanks man! i’m so excited to make it, it’s a brilliant and unique idea filled with strange twists and also quite a lot teens my age will relate to: overthinking 😸
@JPWFilms24-1 I've seen it all. I love cinema. Film today is in a bad state. Artistically and commercially. Will a new generation of independent filmmakers resurrect the medium? No. They went to become youtubers, tiktokers, twitchers.
@@dvforever Ok I apologize for the disrespect first of all. second of all, I completely agree with you. But that's what makes actually good movies so much more special. Because people would be saying the same thing if all movies that came out were cinematic masterpieces since the standard for those movies would be higher. You just gotta have optimism man
@@dvforever I don't think there are no independent filmmakers with an artistic vision. In today's world, you have to have some social media skills to succeed in an artistic industry. But that doesn't mean that incredibly good and deep short films can't be made -- Kent Lamm, right here, churns out some bangers even as a RUclipsr.
Film will never die, but Hollywood has made many bad business moves since streaming started, and a major shift needs to happen to realign viewers desires, and habits for watching movies. I see the biggest issue facing Hollywood now is the inflated cost of supposed “tent-pole” films. Make more cheaper movies and appeal to more niches. The worldwide mass appeal movie has become too big of a gamble now in a world where online conversation moves fast and is so fickle. Streamline the cost of VFX by using less CGI or using directors that know how that works (like Gareth Edwards), and stop paying over the hill A listers tens of millions to star. Also, stop putting movies on streaming… like at all, or wait a few years. Studios will make more money having a solid streaming platform with great series, and then get back to DVD sales by limiting when movies can go on streaming. Why buy a ticket to see Dune 2 when I’m already paying HBO a subscription to see it in a month or two?

Bro is that DJ Joe Future starring in your film?
@@js7082 yes it is hahaha
@@matthewgomez8255 Lul, he DJ'd my wedding. I didn't know he was an actor!

Nah but title aside that was an awesome short mhn!! Killed it✨
NO WAY! A 54 minute SSC video!?!?!?!?! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS

Thanks for critiquing 'I'll Call You Back'! There's some great feedback here that we'll definitely be taking into the next one!
Thank you for making a follow up video to this! 😁

Your videos continue to be such a great inspiration for younger filmmakers like me. Thank you for all your hard work!
Lot's of great shorts 👏🏼
Please, do this kind of short film analisys more often! Very very very useful! Thanks
He uploaded again, hyped!😮💨
Dude, you need to stop talking during the film unless its absolutely necessary..
So funny. While The Last Request was playing after the two fake commercial, YT fed me a real one.

Glad to see you’re carrying this series onwards. I think I finally fixed why I wasn’t getting your newsletter anymore. My quirky email server kept marking it as SPAM. I may have shook it loose.
I have some older shorts that may run a bit longer than these, but if you put another call out down the line, I’ll see if they’re worth throwing in there.
46:50 - Why though? Generally curious about the psychology of old music/film here. The fear of unknown?
It’s great that you’re doing this. The first film I don’t think needs added music, would ruin the idea of the ending. Maybe some quiet breathes or annoyance from the guy. Just to give it a realistic feel, and then let it be what it is at the end.

¡Look at me! ¡I made a movie in only 7 hours so if it's bad i'll put up any excuse and say I had little time to make it good!
Really love this segment! Great to see work from the (real) indie community haha
You should really let the short play out without any interruptions and then critique it.
I love your channel keep doing this stuff. It's very informative
Thank you taking a look at our little film! And yes I completely agree with all the notes on audio! I have since learned how to use Pro-Tools 😅
A.S.K 🔥🔥🔥
Yerba Mate Bluephoria spotted @ 5:03
The first one put me to sleep
that's a long 5 minutes
Why do I keep missing how to submit to these
Thank you! This helps so many aspiring filmmakers.
2:00 Its called room tone, i guess
This is a cool idea
first short film was good!
stop making shorts, start making features
Nah
Absolutely nothing wrong with the sound design of the first film. Would have been weakened and cheapened with music.
I think it needed some ambient noise in the calm parts
LOVE THESE EPISODES!!! SUB'D!
I love seeing these!
please keep doing this!

Hey, Kent! How do I submit a short film? Do you take submissions in languages other then english (given there are subtitles)?
You just have to join his newsletter, he occasionally puts out calls for submissions through that.
@@CinePenguin89 Oh, thanks!
This is fun
Going to be making a british dark comedy this summer, is there a website to submit short films for you to break down? Thanks!!
Join his newsletter, he occasionally puts out calls for submissions. Good luck on the shoot!
