Hi Brandon can you make a video, explaining how to shoot oneself solo with a camera + gorillapod. This is the basic need of every person these days . And what is the importance of sound ?
Thank you for incorporating the ZHIYUN gimbal & lights in this video, Brandon. It's a great honor for us to be a part of the contribution to this brilliant action film.🤩😆
Brandon I can only imagine how difficult a shoot like this can be to pull off... wow man you did an amazing job!!! Always stoked when you release a video 🙌🏻
As a filmmaker myself, i truly admire your affort towards putting this shirt fulm together. Also showing us behind the scenes. I learnt a lot. Thanks. 🙏🏽
This was such an epic project and I totally love the final result and the breakdown in this video. So much value you give here for fellow filmmakers and the movie industry.
Brandon is one in a billion in his ability to break down movie scenes and explain in details how they were shot. That is the mark of a great instructor and teacher. Thanks for the lesson!
TO BE Honest you really nailed it. One could only imagine how much hard work it requires to achieve such results. Lots of respect to you and thanks to all who acted in❤
Must of been hard to create a script like that. I would love to make a short movie like this. I just cant stop watching and the Idea of Jackie was great!
I've watched a ton of film tutorials today and this is by far the most energetic and fun one! Having minimal equipment, thinking on the fly, and to be able to create movie magic is super inspiring. Thank you 🎬✨
I thought Full-Time Filmmakers was the best RUclips channel for budding filmmakers until I was introduced to Brandon's channel. This is BY FAAR the best RUclips channel for filmmakers period. This short martial arts action flick you made looks on par with one of Jackie Chan's 2010 modern fight scenes. The fact that you made all that like a certified Hollywood/Hong Kong director with limited resources and gear while at the same time making it look like a high-budget Hollywood production is quite INSANE bro. You are an extremely talented man. Excellent work.
Oh my... I walk into the small street with the famous seafood place and other locations in your shoot so many times since I live in Bangkok. This is so awesome! To me, the chase scene is the most stunning the reason is because I know how busy that street is ... running like that through the traffic is no joke and very dangerous with so many motorcycles, people and stalls on the street. I live here my whole life and I would not do that. I guess it really does make me feel that the real dangerous people are chasing him lol
Simply OUTSTANDING!!! Loved every second of this incredible work, technicality, creativity, the lighting evidence, the whole structure of scene developments, the equipment type and description of their power of use and the overall film performance! Well done!! I felt the emotion at every turn in the short movie. I was convinced! BRILLIANT!!
First class work, I'm just starting in video (stills photographer for 20+ years) and this short is not only shot beautifully but the story is excellent. Love it.
The BGM 1:27 is 🔥 It made the sequence 10x better specifically that beat at 1:35 . Brandon bro, Undoubtedly you and jaccques are the best in this business but the music selection the taste that you have for music makes your video the best than the rest. Lots and lots of love to you man. Love your work.
That was absolutely incredible! The vibe, the energy, the variety of shots! Thank you for not only showing us the gorgeous result but the Behind the Scenes process as well. You did an amazing job - it is one thing to just say I did this and that - and a totally different to explain why and your motivation behind it. It definitely also made me realise what a single one-man-crew can achieve with passion and creativity. Of course, you were not alone, but you managed to make it with a small amount of people. I was wondering while watching (I hope I didn't miss the information) 1) How many nights it took you to film this? I assume 2-3 nights? 2) Sure you had a vision in the first place - however, did you create something like a detailed script or did they ideas mostly pop up spontaneously? Which I think is also legit and might even work for some people better than following a strict script 3) Have you used an RGB Panel for these "Looking at the Phone" - shots? The red colour is pretty bright! Lastly, one more annoying question - have you been shooting at Second Base ISO of 12,800? And do you think for the A7S3 an FE12-24 F2,8GM Lens would do the job? Once again, thank you for that masterpiece!
The project was truly remarkable, and I'm absolutely enamored with the final outcome and the detailed breakdown showcased in this video. Your contribution offers immense value to fellow filmmakers and the entire movie industry.
Brandon, it’s so good seeing you make a short film! I’ve been following your work for a few years now, big inspiration and it’s great to see your skill set used in this way. As always, keep up the great work 🙏
YEEEES! I love it that you use long steady shots for the fight, following traditional HK action films, and not the modern short shaky hand shots Holywood likes these days. Jackie Chan would approve :)
Yes! Shaky cam is so inappropriate for most scenes. Making a shot look dynamic with good blocking and lighting is more difficult but can so much more memorable if done right.
If this is just you with a gimbal, I can only imagine how what your version would like look with a crew behind you. I'm in college for film at the moment and I had so many ideas for grip and rigging with the zhiyun weebill. Great work as always.
I cant even put the right words into this brother ! This is amazing and the amount of knowledge it has is infinite ! Thank you bro for that piece of awesomeness !!
I honestly love the fact that you didnt cut for every strike. I feel like that gives more weight (pardon the pun) to the hits….when choreographed well of course, like this was!!!!
The professional Ron was in an ICONIC fight w Jackie Chan. (The watch fight where he holds his leg straight up in the air and checks his watch. One of my favorite Jackie Chan fight scenes. Salute and respect!
Bravo man! Thank you Mr. Brandon, Mr. Renney, and the rest of the actors and crew for sharing this. You've taught us amazing ideas and inspired us a lot!
I was expecting to be disappointed by your short bot gunna lie “oh here’s another short film on youtube, expect netflix quality” but was actually blown away. Great homage to the mindless carnage in kill bill with that title. Grwat example of “improvise adapt improve” lol
This is one of the most comprehensive and entertaining break downs of a production I have ever seen! Great information and SUPER fun to watch! I love how this was presented, and it really showed how creativity, ingenuity and a little bit of daring can make something so small budget feel REALLY premium! EXCELLENT work Brandon! Standout production!
brilliant ! ... what you achieved with such basic equipment and without intense lighting or complicated set design with endless actors and still the Sony cam and not a bulky RED. Incredible. Thanks for your BTS - impressive skills
Wow! Nice to see Ron in one of your many excellent contents, I worked with him in an organized photoshoot at the popular ghost tower in Bangkok in 2013. Ron is so humble to work with. He knew that I'm a beginner photographer, but he still posed for me and tried to help me.
Very impressive! Shooting on crowded locations adds so much to the scene. I guess you can only do it discreetly with that size of a camera. Props to the whole team - I wonder how big the actual crew was :)
This is now my all time favorite BTS video! You describe and showcase your work in such an interesting manner. Hope to see more videos like this in the future!
Well done ! Amazing. I wish there was another video that talked more about the details on how to produce such a video : budgeting, casting, location recce and all the other non-technical aspects
This is not less then a Hollywood movie, you brought an exact experience, power-packed action and even interesting direction , loved it ❤❤ this is not a one time watch for sure, I'm going to watch it again and again..
Growing up watching martial arts films I loved every minute of this!! Brandon, you and your team truly are creative gems. It’d be great if you could connect with Lawrence Sher/ Shotdeck as he’s been taking interest in online talent. Who knows maybe Zhiyun would sponsor longer form content at some point 🙏🏾👏🏾
Oh my god... I was steering through youtube feed on my TV and said to myself ok let's look another how to shoot video. But in the first ten seconds I was like WOW this was really really cinematic looking movielike short film.
This was an excellent production on limited resources. The results are amazing. I'm looking to possibly make a micro feature in Bangkok in the future so this video really helped. The vibrancy of China town and Khao San Road look amazing.
Ho-ly smokes! Lots and lots and lots of smiles, for the delicious footage, humor, and A-grade believable cinematography. I Can't Believe It Isn't a Steadicam. Thanks for a wonderfully entertaining short.
Appreciated the BTS explanations. Thanks. I was especially curious to watch the response of people on the street and how you handled the challenge of working around them and not disrupting their daily life.
Really Nailed it 🔥 Bradon I'm really respect your work rather than your short film 💪. Just because of your hard work, your short film is in the Next Level 😎
The lack of wide shots in action sequences has always bothered me. This had a great balance of close up action and poetic wide camera movement. Brilliant.
Amazing to see how it all came together! Loved that quite a few of my BTS shots made it in the edit as well 😁 had a blast shooting alongside you and Stephen those nights out in Bangkok!
I'm so Glad that I watched this Video man this Guy tells everything about the Shoot from Lens to Lights.....thank you brother by the bottom of the heart.................i learned a lot from your Video & apply that too in my Upcoming Short Films....
Wow. Thanks for making this short film and this video too. It's great to have so many insights of film making. And please convey regards to Ron. I remember his fight with Jackie Chan on the rooftop. They both did an amazing job. I guess the movie was Who Am I !

Great to see you doing action scenes, you did great! 👏
Мощьно! Захватывающе! Профессионально! 👍👍👍
why didn't he catch her in the small car but instead she kicks him out? while he was already with the target.
Awesome short movie with a very well explained behind the scenes. I am in Bangkok and photographed Ron a few times. Great actor and martial artist.
Hi Brandon can you make a video, explaining how to shoot oneself solo with a camera + gorillapod. This is the basic need of every person these days . And what is the importance of sound ?

Brandon I can only imagine how difficult a shoot like this can be to pull off... wow man you did an amazing job!!! Always stoked when you release a video 🙌🏻
You guys are inspiring me have been following you bro you are making 💯 % work that has made me to step up my work
You both are my inspiration
As a filmmaker myself, i truly admire your affort towards putting this shirt fulm together. Also showing us behind the scenes. I learnt a lot. Thanks. 🙏🏽

Absolutely amazing
It was awesome to watch and even better to see whole breakdown, top notch work!
Thank you sir! 🙌
Brandon is one in a billion in his ability to break down movie scenes and explain in details how they were shot. That is the mark of a great instructor and teacher. Thanks for the lesson!
You are now ready for J. Wick 5! Excellent initiative and really great work 😉👍
TO BE Honest you really nailed it.

i remember ron from the film WHO AM I, the rooftop fight, good to see he's still doing his thing
Oh my... I walk into the small street with the famous seafood place and other locations in your shoot so many times since I live in Bangkok. This is so awesome! To me, the chase scene is the most stunning the reason is because I know how busy that street is ... running like that through the traffic is no joke and very dangerous with so many motorcycles, people and stalls on the street.

Very creative. Very budget friendly. With the right story line, this could have been a full movie. I like the run and gun style with the Sony A7III.
Simply OUTSTANDING!!! Loved every second of this incredible work, technicality, creativity, the lighting evidence, the whole structure of scene developments, the equipment type and description of their power of use and the overall film performance!

Mr. Ron is always awesome.
He’s a legend!

Man there isn’t anything u can’t do 🔥🔥
Brandon, that was crazy impressive and so complicated. How you all pulled that off is incredible. Few people can do it. Fewer do it well
Thanks for showcasing this talent, how we wish you could be our mentor and help us, we are new in the industry.
This is now my all time favorite BTS video! You describe and showcase your work in such an interesting manner. Hope to see more videos like this in the future!
It is very useful to understand how to take action scene with difficulties. Especially running and falling down. Great.
Ron! One of my favorite fight scenes from one of my favorite Jackie Chan movies.
MASTERPIECE!!! 🔥🔥🔥💯
Infinite thanks for sharing this Amazing Short Action Film with us, and all your Amazing Skills and Tips, Brandon, my Brother. 🙏🏾
