Only OGs know about
"Joann's Fabrics"
Been waiting for the follow up for a long time lol
5 years later, we can have the whole movie about Joann's Fabrics
What Happens When a Movie Has No Script Writer?
Pretty sure there are a few examples out there...
There are plenty of movies that actually had no script writer and some have even been masterpieces
Then there's no movie.
You get Ghostbusters(2016)
Bollywood movies in a nutshell
Like how every few takes you are slowly progressing the scene so we dont get bored of loops
It's amazing how all this super expensive stuff that has a very subtle effect on the way a movie looks but also makes a massive difference in how we perceive its quality.
billygowhoop true! But a lot of that can he done on a budget, it’s just less convenient. There’s some stuff that costs a lot because of its physical properties (lenses, accurate lights) but things like jibs and dollies can be definitely be DIY.
The director of Lights Out and Shazam has a great channel on here where he teaches that stuff, I highly recommend it.
@@DodaGarcia And the critical piece of information missing is that his channel is called "Ponysmasher."
"your ma, or me ma, or mama mia" ah yes, the holy trinity
😂😂
This is what really needs to show up when people search for “how to shoot cinematic footage” 👌
Yes. And not the ones with "cinematic colour filters" or technical mumbo jumbo.
@@ganeshsonawanemail I love slowmo as much as the next guy, but you very rarely see slowmo sequences in real cinema, so it's funny how cinematic became associated with that.
@@NewLayer I know who you're talking about.
@@ufukkiblat Haha, I wasn't referring to anyone specific, because I think it's about 90% of people at this point :)
cinematography relies more on the lighting.
0:26 “but me ma ain’t around no more, ain’t she?”
*starts crying*
Should have been "but me ma ain't around no more, is she?" and how 3+ people let that incorrect phrasing go through is beyond me.
FlameMage2 this guy[character] doesn’t seem like he had the best schooling nor cares to much about using proper grammar while speaking...
FlameMage2 that’s the point
The Whip pan felt like it was in the wrong direction.
Did y'all add the camera shake in post? It keeps moving at 9:07, so either that actor is really good at suddenly going completely still, or some funny business is going on here.
They snap the time stone
In every pause that happens, the actors are just staying still
ROFL
It could be in post just to make sure that the acting and the lighting is the same and the only difference is the camera shake, which actually is pretty smart and gives a good A/B comparison
I hate the way "handheld" these days is synonymous with "shakycam".
Also, the whip pan to the phone shouldn't have started before the sound effect.
I was thinking the same about the whip pan
Ikr
@@hypercept Cloverfield was great but I get your point.
How a script is read has an incredible impact on the way a story is told and can greatly influence the types of boredom the audience will feel. When paired with bad writing and direction, a skilled camera operator can turn an average video into something truly memorable.
So you think a director is going to allow some camera operator just to do whatever he likes. Understand that so called bad director has no idea he is bad (more likely he thinks he's great) therefore he is not going to give up the control, so as for bad writing but usually that does not get to the set unless it is the director producer or other money person doing the writing. Your proffer supposes the bad director or writer realizes it has an epiphany and lays down on the floor prostrate in contrition. You will never ever see that.
5:04 Wes Anderson has entered the chat.
Boy that ain't symmetrical at all look at the angle of the shelf
@@johnnycampos1760 he's saying Wes Anderson does a lot of whip pan
I love this kinda type of content
I love how you said "this kinda type of"
I thought this video was gonna sell me an Artifical Intelligence camera that can act as a camera operator with autonomus function which shoots scenes just like a human would do.
*InVeST*
7:09 Quentin Tarantino has entered the chat
haha! i was looking for this comment :D
That’s what I thought
Are we all just going to ignore the "Slap my face and call me Charlie" part hahahahha 😂
Best part of the whole video :P
2:18 OK, this guy is officially my favorite character of the series! Looking forward to more, Vanity. Loving this series - entertaining and educational!
Can we get netflix series on Joann's fabric
i love how this series tells a story instead of it just being random scenes
"HOW U DOIN"
I cant even imagine how many times these actors would have had to do the same scene
The very first example of Perspective, I thought well duh, but once played again, I realize that I actually fell for it! I felt the lawyer had more power and was coming down on the mob guy until they changed that perspective. Wow that really does change the whole impact of a scene!
but the lawyer guy seemed to deliver the line in a more menacing tone in the first take, then switch it to a more meek-jokey delivery in the second.
This was good! Love when youre able too see before and after, and see the difference it makes instead of just reading or hearing someone explain it. So good!
So... y’all short staffed or something and you’re trying to convert your audience into employees? Because I need a job so hmu
+1
Same here
Thanks for putting this together VF!
very informative! So much goes into filmmaking.
With cameras in virtually everyone’s hands today, it’s easy to miss how many people are involved in making a film.
I love the Whip Pan used in Fight Club.
I love this reverse films you do
"Lacks stylistic choises"
The stationary camera could be seen as a stylistic choise
Realizing the nail filer is conducive to the plot of this short, I would keep the shot on the filer as the hitman moved toward the lawyer. I would've just incorporated a simple pan shot.
that's what I thought
This was like taking a beginner's class on camera angles! Too good.
This was really well done 👍🏾
These kind of videos are needed first of all! Do it. Thnx a lot!
We finally found the arson of Joanne's Fabrics...
Awesome video.. editing, scripting, acting everything was super awesome 👌. Also gained a lot of knowledge about videographing
Now this is a kind of lessons I’m into.
You can learn something by learning what’s not to do.
This is amazing! Thank you
The script, the information, the set, everything is genius here. A very meta video, I liked it
Great episode!
I love this series, can you do more?
This is such an incredible way to teach people film technique. My college only taught hands-off ways of studying scenes (hardly any production.) I always felt studying bad technique is just as important: what not to do. Kudos to the production team here, and the writing staff with this super random jo Ann fabrics storyline. My outburst in jo Ann fabrics is not reflective of who I am.
Thanks for this. Fun and with a lot of information. Specially for someone trying to learn filmmaking alone.
So great video for camera angle. Loved it
This was excellent!
Excellent video!
I still feel like acting and script are the most important
I appreciated each minute of this video
That's so good!!
Fantastic lesson!
"Slap my face and call me Charlie". I'm gonna use that in my script
Do a production design one next please! Btw these are great
Great, thanks a lot!
8:56 i believe the sudden appear looks to comical
The whip to phone felt comedic to me
This is good advise
idk who needs to hear this but you NEVER need to do the Paul Greengrass shakey cam thing ever
Amazing!
“Now, please hire me. Thank you.” 😊
This was eye opening :0
when I was young, I thought this was what directors do 🤦♂️😁😂
Hey, this series is still continuing!😄👍
I tried hand held for my short movie, the movie became an 15-minute documentary of an earthquake
This was amazing and the script was actually good ngl makes me want to watch it as a movie
I am still waiting for a follow up about the Joann's Fabrics!
Thank you
8:14 just like anything else shown in this video.
Great video
Let's do a video about the camera operator and list all the things other people do! Cause why would we mention the dolly grip, DoP, 1st AC, director...
Thank you! This video was some of the most misinformed "education" I've seen. These were all director choices. The real problems with not having a camera operator would be lack of focus if there is no First AC and less precise camera move. That's it.
Excelente.
Please do one of these but with music composition for film
This really be looking like a school short film project lmaooo
Great choice of lenses 8:16 Contax Zeiss 😉
Aka every student film
7:16 Edgar wright: Am i a Joke to you
Brilliant 😀
hes a bad hitman so that original angle makiing him look weak were on point lol. great vid
1st ACs watching at 6:10: 👁👄👁
Snap zoom seems more effective
I would’ve tweaked the lighting too. Gaffer would’ve made this much more interesting. Little more dank & gritty or the grade at least
Now 'What happens to a movie without actors' please
"Slap my face and call me Charlie" 😂😂😂
okay I admit I haven’t watched the video but the thumbnail is cracking me up. ‘If you don’t have a camera operator your whole movie will be blurry!!’ lol
Thanks and now I can watch a movie and say “Ha! It’s a jib move!”
Interesting!!!
Masterclass
Why this video wasn't out 4 months ago?
It would have been a great help for my film appreciation and criticism class
As fascinating as the actual point of this was, at this point I'm way more invested in the storyline than anything else.
"slap my face and call me Charlie"
one day we’ll probably witness an Oscar winning film which recorded with all blur
Now it just needs a Director of Photography.
Can you please do when a movie has no sound designers
Hmm... Snap zoom seems the right choice...
Me encanta
Instructions unclear, Accidentally made an another Endgame.
I’d love to watch this as a real movie
SAY HI TO YA MA FOR ME 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This for a Sound Operatior!
Tbf, the camera operator doesn’t really have a say in how a scene is shot, they might give an input, but the decision of composition and camera movement is up to the director and cinematographer. However, the camera operator still serves a purpose when executing camera movements as they are precise in their movement.
Does somebody know what camera and specs were used for this?
It was shot on a sony FS7 with Canon EF CN-E lenses
I wonder if this is the reason why online classes can be confusing: the camera is just the webcam on the instructor's computer. Perhaps there is a need for a camera person, with mask if needed, to make sure the important stuff is focused on.
Even 4 years of majoring in filmmaking I didn’t learn this much. Stick to watching RUclips videos to learn this craft everybody, don’t waste your money on school.
Drinker_Of_ Milk exactly. My point exactly. I was indeed a waste of time.
