      Scale matters. Compared to other world war movies, this is not even a 10th of the budget of those. So by all means this is a low budget movie.

    • @TheDocumentarian01
      @TheDocumentarian01 2 месяца назад +6

      It's most definitely all relative. For our production crew, low budget is £200-250,000 or about $260-320,000 US. For someone else, it could be as low as £4-5,000, as per Christopher Nolan's first feature, which I believe set him back around $6,000.
      As long as you're focussing on story and bringing something compelling to the screen, your budget could be £1,000 and I'd happily sit glued to the screen to watch it.

      @TheDocumentarian01 2 месяца назад +2

      @@kris4637 Perfectly put. If we look at, for example, 1917, and the scale and depth of that film, this would indeed be very low budget.

    Looks really great! I think your "messy" bounces on the ceiling give an authentic light vs the sometimes contrived, "clean", look when you know they just had 30 sky panels on the ceiling. Impressive to see how it looks with such a modest studio. No doubt someone also did an amazing job with the set pieces.

    Your use of a volume wall is executed well here and in a very minimal nature, which makes the production very effective in telling an isolated story. I’m noticing a jib being operated at the beginning of this video - I actually own the same one! it’s a very sturdy piece of equipment.

    Add a capacitor to the driver output of the wall LEDs. Should kill the flicker. Unless the the problem is actual data refreshing on the screen. if that's the case, not much I know that can help.
