So I've been away for a while and missed quite bit of Film Riot. This Justin guy at first I was like "who the fu*k?" and then I laughed my ass off - best addition to the on screen crew ever.
Josh seemed to be gearing up for a career in front of the camera, bulking up, invisible braces, being in most of the skits on the show etc. We really only hear him now compared to years ago and the new guy seems to be taking his place in front of the camera. Certainly adding Justin to the Film Riot family has added value with his on set experience and it's shown since he's joined. I guess my question is... has Josh's abilities behind the scenes and your trust in him switched his focus in the film industry? It's certainly a complement either way knowing your professionalism on the projects you do. You have two great actors at your disposal in Josh and Emily and I always enjoy when they appear in the shorts/skits. Also I just discovered after many years of following you that we have the same birthday!
+Salvation73 Josh is doing a lot of behind the camera work these days. He's been directing and editing all the episodes. He'll be in more very soon as well - just a lot of projects at once. :)
Can't wait, thanks for the reply. I've followed you all since the beginning and look forward to your continued success. I'm going to attend your directorial debut of a feature film, not a wish but something I know. I used to watch Dan Trachtenberg on his RUclips channel and recently saw his first film. Talent finds a course, you're close Film Riot... closer than you know.
Juan Ayala Welcome to film riot, the show that takes the mysteries from techniques that go into some of your most favorite Hollywood films. I’m your host Ryan Connolly. ;)
Never really thought about this aspect. The fist time I was on a "real" set, it was pouring/hailing out and I didn't even own a rain coat or boots (it was also incredibly muddy on location). Luckily one of the wardrobe ladies pitied me and offered me some rain gear for the day. (What an angel right?) Learned my lesson after that!
I also always have a script/shotlist on A5, a pen, a white board marker, permanent marker, pink marker and a small roll of gaffer... Because you know, others don't... Long story short; I'd probably get rich if I'd ask a dollar when I lend something out on set
Man. Justin has really breathed life into this show again. He's obviously very involved in the show and it's content lately has been freaking FANTASTIC. A new perspective has for sure helped improve the show. MORE PLEASE!
I love Crocs. I have two pair. A traditional clog, and a leather upper tennis shoe version. They also make boots and running shoes now. So, get the super comfortable Croc soles with the non-Croc look.
personally clothing wise I go with light weight military combat trousers and combat jacket (if the weather is kind then just a shirt) with mid hight combat boots
Was kind of expecting a whole bunch of gear but this was interestingly unexpected. I usually wear black clothing, I have a true Canadian weather tolerance, and I'm used to wearing cheap steel toes so I'm not too worried about my feet on long days so not a lot changes for me but holy crap, when you mentioned the chafing I knew that struggle, so uncomfortable and I didn't know there was a solution, usually I just put up with it for a day and use a bunch of aloe gel when it's done. I'll have to give that a shot for sure
FilmRiot's videos are like these instructions on "how to survive **insert unrealistic situation**" in a generic kids magazine. You will never actually need those tips, but you enjoy watching them.
Wear high skate shoes, like those made by Globe, DVS and sometimes DC (Osiris also has a couple). They're big and bulky, but light and comfortable. Your feet will never smell or sweat excessively again.. The only issue is the price, they are incredibly expensive ($80 - $150)
I always wear Adidas Ultra Boosts when filming, The Boost midsole is like standing on clouds and I can stand for a whole day and would not feel anything. 10/10, would recomend
Don't take this the wrong way (unless you want to) but I really enjoy the show NOW. I mean it was nice before but I think I speak for everyone when I say the production value has gone up a lot. Worth the wait :)
You know I'd like to see how they did the 70s look, but how bout an episode on how to recreate a look from every decade? I always get mixed up on which decades look like what
I was expecting like a hunting knife to stab those tweakers that want to steal your film equipment and sell them to the pawn shop but alas I was misconducted :(
Good points Ryan (and Justin) and thanks for plugging North Face while up here in Vancouver!. A while ago I volunteered for some set work and ended up as a 2nd AC which was fun and I agree with everything Justin carried with him, I'd be curious to see what external 'gear' you have seen. I noticed Justin had that Husky bag which is great but what about while actually filming, what do you use to carry that gear on your person? I've found Tactical Tailor or similar 'military' systems work great for this application. Also while brand name gear (North Face, Columbia, etc...) makes some amazing gear, I have been told that logos, brand names, etc.. is taboo on shoots due to licencing headaches? Truth to this or is this just CYA nonsense? (Cover your...uh....backside) Thanks!
I feel like there are a couple things you could have mentioned - granted you don't seem to have any on-air females, but there are definitely differences in some areas between being a male and female on set in terms of what we need to wear. It's pretty common for green ladies on set to forget to wear a belt, or worse wear leggings, that when a walkie is hooked on, well, I've seen a few more 'whale tails' that I would have liked to.
u guys should see toronto in winter -26 C ... i was wearing layers over layers and the only cameras that works in that weather without a polar bear cover is 5D :D
I hope the international ships come back soon! I´m from México City and wanted to make a t-shirt order, by the way: great channel! I study filmmaking here in México and love to watch your videos, have learn a bunch since i subscribe few years. Keep going!
So I've been away for a while and missed quite bit of Film Riot. This Justin guy at first I was like "who the fu*k?" and then I laughed my ass off - best addition to the on screen crew ever.
Welcome back.
I don't know if i come here to learn about film making or for the comedy
why not both :)
+IIcowdudeII ooh don't get me wrong I do both
hahahaha :)
ha
+SidDaKid III come for the veggies and stay for the candy.
"Which shoes you choose when you shoot."
TONGUE TWISTER
I adore Jack! Can we keep him?
I mean permanently on the show.
Can we also keep Justin?
Like for the show?
Yes.
HAHAHAHA who else heard Ryan (or someone) laugh at 8:43 😂😂😂😂
Well this is where you hanging at.. I feel you bro
I heard a little squeak

For me it's a wish.... if I can't anyfilm he makes I'll be in theaters the second it comes out ... or even a film josh is in, now that would be cool
Can we get a tutorial for the all the retro sequences used in the video? (3:49)
I don't think I've ever understood the intro before "I'm Ryan Connoly" lol
Juan Ayala Welcome to film riot, the show that takes the mysteries from techniques that go into some of your most favorite Hollywood films. I’m your host Ryan Connolly. ;)
If ever the "MicroMachines" toys come back...Ryan should be their VO guy.
As soon as I saw that Boogie Fever... It was a nice reminder that Film Riot is back at top notch quality :)

+Wellshot Definitely. Great tips there!
Man. Justin has really breathed life into this show again. He's obviously very involved in the show and it's content lately has been freaking FANTASTIC. A new perspective has for sure helped improve the show. MORE PLEASE!
I see you Film Riot, with that same pattern from the carpet in The Shining... ;-)
+Nathan Leon :)
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO COMMENT THAT!! I love that movie!
I love Crocs. I have two pair. A traditional clog, and a leather upper tennis shoe version. They also make boots and running shoes now. So, get the super comfortable Croc soles with the non-Croc look.
"He rubs this on it......or *me* if he really asks me to"
😂😂😂😂
Lovin the 70's and 80's themed transitions :)
Omg!!!!! Justin is hilarious 😂 😂 😂 glad he's part of the crew hahaha
That In Bruges Refrence at the end! Gold!
Sketchers with the memory foam insoles do me well when I am on my feet all day, all week at work.
The union's coming part with the pocket knife had me dying! haha
this video was a great idea. its something not everyone would think of immediately when related to filmmaking.
Vaseline works great for outdoor shoots. If you slather your fingers and toes in it and put gloves/socks over them, it'll keep them insulated.
I friggin love the content! Also, the boogie segment was epic!
Holy shit Justin had me dying at my desk at work.....people down the hall are looking at me funny.....LMAO
This episode was too funny 70s disco music OMG!!!!
Great tips guys, new production BTS stills looks awesome!
Not a film maker, been subscribed since the first teleportation episode, Cuz i just love you guys, keep it up
Loved the retro stuff!
Can you guys make a video about how to make your video look 70's/80s ?
They have. It's on their channel somewhere on getting that VHS look. Can't remember the name but it was funny. Just look it up
Yeah!
Ernesto Aguirre really thanks! I'll go searching for it then thanks :)
www.redgiant.com/universe/
How did you guys slowly over time get all of these goodies for film making?
I think the answers in the question
Slowly over time.
Sry I meant from where did you guys get the money needed
Slowly is the key word there.
(Plus they have connections and sponsors)
ok that last part is what i needed thanks
A++ for the Full House bunny wallpaper at the end.
personally clothing wise I go with light weight military combat trousers and combat jacket (if the weather is kind then just a shirt) with mid hight combat boots
Was kind of expecting a whole bunch of gear but this was interestingly
unexpected. I usually wear black clothing, I have a true Canadian
weather tolerance, and I'm used to wearing cheap steel toes so I'm not

The only issue is the price, they are incredibly expensive ($80 - $150)
diy stuff were ur best episodes !
The "goodies" segment felt like a skit from rick and morty
"What's that? The union's coming?" *stab *stab
New balance shoes for run and gun! Been wearing this brand the past 10 years!
What about duct, medical and electrical tape? Life savers for quick repairs or handiwork.
Great tips guys! I'll have to get a pair of neos
anyone else notice the shining carpet background?
yep. i wouldn't have tho if i didn't watch room 237 cuz they talking about the carpet in detail
MAN. I've been having the shoe problem lately. I got the gels tip a few weeks ago. need those in soles!
That "boggie fever" song is catchy AF! :D
I always wear Adidas Ultra Boosts when filming, The Boost midsole is like standing on clouds and I can stand for a whole day and would not feel anything. 10/10, would recomend
I totally second the crocs statement !!!
Do an episode on equipments, accessories, etc. when filming (especially sync sound/live sound recording)
The Justin segment felt like something from the intergalactic cable episodes from Rick and Morty.
I was just listing to Boogie Fever on my tv!
love the justin sections hahaha
LMAO @ the boogie fever dance. Great one again guys!
I see you, shining carpet background...
;)
IKR
I noticed that too!
Your techniques are wonderful.
(Especially the marketing part ;) )
8:20 Absolute fucking gold. Laughed so hard :D Go Justin!
Kubricks' phallic carpet from "The Shining" as a backdrop. nice.
A nice add on is to have a roll of TP in your in your car. Instead of baby powder i would go with chassis for men powder.
How did you do the awesome 80's style effects?
they have a video on it already
what video?
Mind telling me the name of it? cheers, very interested myself!
look up "VHS Look & Free Stock Images" on the film riot search :)
There's a cool VHS effect part of Red Giant Universe suite.
I actually like this video, this is something I never would have thought about, and it was pretty funny too
lol those songs were
"Set for Glory" and "Boogie Fever" by Richard Myhill.
This was clever and informative as per usual, but the Justin spots were just amazingly hilarious. Well done guys :D Bravo!
What happened to Intercept?
it got
Intercepted
+
Ha
Will international shipping be available when it comes back online next year?
got that overlook carpet background
I love the 80s look on the transitions haha
Love your work!
This was the funniest video I have seen in a while! Keep up the good work!
haha Justin is actually really funny
he reminds me alot of Napoleon dynamite.
+BenjaminJahn agreed!
+BenjaminJahn agreed!
I got a Kyle (from SNL) feel
How much preparation/experience/networking does it take to get your first job on set of a big feature?
Dang, I was gonna treat myself to a jacket for the December holidays!
I love this vid lol and Amen to the chafing!!! I've had that happen so many times on set it is never addressed enough lol. Gold bond or baby powder
Pants time with Justin reminds me of the fake ads in Rick & Morty
I love Justin
Once you guys switch to the new shipping system, will there be international shipping? Really want some goodies, but I'm in Europe. Thanks.
I need mine in canada
+MofaGames That's what we are hoping for.
Film Riot Thanks, hope that will work out. Keep up the great work.
Don't take this the wrong way (unless you want to) but I really enjoy the show NOW. I mean it was nice before but I think I speak for everyone when I say the production value has gone up a lot. Worth the wait :)
As a sound guy, may I add, make sure your shoes don't squeak. Or at the very least, be willing/able to take them off if the sound guy asks.
You know I'd like to see how they did the 70s look, but how bout an episode on how to recreate a look from every decade? I always get mixed up on which decades look like what
"Filmmaker Survival Kit" =/= Only apparel
Someone missed the second half of this episode. ;)
Ah, so your plug was too long. Makes sense.
I was expecting like a hunting knife to stab those tweakers that want to steal your film equipment and sell them to the pawn shop but alas I was misconducted :(
Well technically that's what would literally be survival lol
I'm always a fan of a good pair of work boots with a heel.
You should make a design for a t shirt that is "come for the veggies, stay for the candy" or make it so it has like a candy and vegetable emoji
Good points Ryan (and Justin) and thanks for plugging North Face while up here in Vancouver!.

Sponsored by The Overlook Hotel :')
That background genuinely is the wallpaper on my phone :') has been since forever...
The moment I realised you had a Los Pollos Hermanos t-shirt, I paused and ordered it.
I feel like there are a couple things you could have mentioned - granted you don't seem to have any on-air females, but there are definitely differences in some areas between being a male and female on set in terms of what we need to wear.

Gotta love the anti-union blade.
Thanks Justin! I feel better now:)
table top part for the win
I guarantee that film riot wont respond to this but i have learned so much from your videos and i thank you for the things you do
Glad we can help, man! :)
Dig the shirt!
u guys should see toronto in winter -26 C ... i was wearing layers over layers and the only cameras that works in that weather without a polar bear cover is 5D :D
Anyone Wondering, song is Richard Myhill - Boogie Fever
Got that boogie fever...
Great tips, guys
For shoes, try Adidas boosts, or on the cheaper end, get Adidas cloudforms
1:17 Back from silent era! :D
is justin doing a Rick and Morty multi-dimensional tv ads impression? If so that's damn cool.
Justin just made Kyle very proud.
dang. justin is the best addition to the fr team! Get that man in front of the camera more often
Team Stretch!
I hope the international ships come back soon! I´m from México City and wanted to make a t-shirt order, by the way: great channel! I study filmmaking here in México and love to watch your videos, have learn a bunch since i subscribe few years. Keep going!
I too love getting my shirts at Target.
yup, pattern was from the hotel in the shining
