I love how director's get so much credit for their cinematographer's work haha. Christopher Doyle is the real creative mind behind light and camera. Great video though :)
You’re right and you’re wrong. Andthis exact mindset is what’s wrong with the filmmaking industry today. The producers and studios think the same way - let’s spend money on the DP, the actors and the writers yet we have more bad movies than good movies. The 40s, 70s and 90s are arguably the best decades for films in history and yet those were director driven decades. The producers/executives are worried about money while the crew are worried about their day to day tasks. It is the directors job to see the whole thing through, creatively. Sorry for the rant and no malice is intended whatsoever but I’ve just been seeing a lot of people on the net discrediting directors when it’s their medium!!!
Doyle’s style isn’t limited to WKW films and aesthetics, so it makes sense she is referring to the director as all his films have the same style, while referring to all Doyle’s wouldn’t make sense bc they vary in visual expression
It's fascinating how two people can have the exact same clips but because of the cameras and post production work, can come out with two very different results. I love your version, nostalgia, dreamy and a little warped. Very inspiring!
You have no idea how much this helped me Megan!! I used to use excuses like "oh i dont have the good equipment for that" but with this video, I realised my digicam is literally a gem, I love the retro look that it gives! I cant wait to start filming and creating! Thank you for your videos, you're doing a wonderful job to show us how to film amazing things on low budget!!
This is cool! Also some tips for anyone going for a Wong Kar Wai look. Try using 7-15mm lenses (good with option of a low f-stop) if you can. It's really what makes the aesthetic of Fallen Angels. Another tip is to cover the lens with a plastic film and a tiny bit of grease on it (like Vaseline). This is the oldschool method of making blur/glow, it makes everything a bit softer. Post process can't really achieve the exact same result.
The subway escalator scene is very powerful. Great lesson! I'll have to try it out🤣 I hope no one steals my phone when I'm filming myself😁 I also like the reflective scene. I guess shooting with a digicam means anyone can do it, right? Thank you for this very inspiring video!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
amazing video megan!!! I recently watched one of his films the fallen angel and the double exposure shots, the slow shutter speed look was amazing. great colouring too btwww!
Haha I was very excited about this would pan out. The short came out great and that little camera definitely has a distinctive look to it :) Thanks for bringing me on this little filmmaking adventure. I hope nobody caught a cold 😀
I absolutely loved this video! You inspired me sm to start filming, something i love to do but i always am thinking it’s impossible due to my lack of skills and good camera materials. But i might try it more now
I was looking for this a long time ago! All your videos help me out in so many ways and if I ever get successful in filmmaking I’ll always remember how you helped me out through so much, and if I do succeed hope you remember this comment cause I know I’ll remember all your advices and videos! 😿😿☝️
I love this idea. I want to try something like this one day. I would say the music doesn't match the video in the end, it's retro but it doesn't match the vibe of what's happening on screen
your videos are fantastic, and they never cease to amaze me every time; you have truly inspired me to continue learning more about film and do my own projects, thank you!
Megannnn I see you, great job🤩. The sliders shots in the beginning so so nice. I was thinking to myself wow , you’re so committed and you always go out of your way to make content to inspires us: people you don’t even know in persons. But you keep showing up and putting in the hardwork . Thanks for sharing, I appreciate you🎉❤️
I think digicams are all pretty low priced if you get them second hand, like the one I got for 10$ is totally worth it, literally just got it off ebay and never looked back HAHAH
@@megantanhweewen Check again I heard it 3 times to make sure before I commented about 8:19 8:20 mark on this video, as soon as the shot of you far away appears, you can hear him saying "Oh yeh".
thank you sooooo much for this, you're literally amazing ilysm!! i do wanna ask how u can achieve that fallen angel + retro effect or does it come along w the camera?? pls tell mee
hiiii thanks so so much for this comment! i think the retro effect you're referring to is actually from the digicam itsself hahaah cuz it's sort of distorted and old looking-i hope you get what i mean
WKW Is amazing when they comes to vision of what do you want it to be? But let's give it up for Christopher Doyle, real quick. And the fact that that boy made it happen. I mean, say what you want, but there's A. Reason why The best? WKW Films are made by him. Bad boy right there.
I don't know if this is consider misdirection or misleading. You show the cheap cameras you got on EBay, and none of those shoot HD. When you show the elevator shot in the blue camera, it is fuzzy, out of focus, and the lighting is bad. but then...POOF. I guess some clean up with Davinci Resolve and something else it looks slightly better. Even in your Equipment listing on the page you list a Sony A7iii as your camera, and not the cheap one. what is the cheap cam you used, and could you shoot your next video with the cheap camera and no after effects editing?
Hi Danceddj2k2, I am more than happy to send you the raw footage from the digi cam if you want, personally. The final results were 100% shot on the digi cam and the only reason I put Sony a7iii in my description is because I use this camera normally and for the intro of this video. And the reason you thought it was not in focus, and had bad lighting was becasue when you look at the footage from the side of the digi cam the screen is darker and really hard to actually see the footage. Like I said more than happy to send you the raw footage I used for this
At this point people are just throwing the name "wong kar wai" around. The Digicam doesn't help achieving it. Wong Kar Wai,or more like Christopher Doyle (the DoP) does not focus much on how the lighting equipment, but rather finding where the light looks good in a real location. So many shots are missing contexts and story. I think the escalator could have been good if you knew why WKW or Christopher love using escalators in the movies. Halas, the video lacks a bit of research and it's a shame, especially since you are making a tutorial.
Hi thanks so much for this comment. Yes you’re right, I should’ve done more research on this and I was actually expecting people to comment about me not mentioning the DOP. I didn’t mention him cuz more people on RUclips for instance know WKW than Christoper Doyle that’s why I used that in the video. Christopher Doyle’s work is absolutely flawless though. Never the less thank you for the constructive criticism. I just wished you could have phrased it nicer or more polite. Thanks anyways.
I love how director's get so much credit for their cinematographer's work haha. Christopher Doyle is the real creative mind behind light and camera. Great video though :)
Hahha yes I knew someone would comment on this. Real props to Christopher Doyle. I used WKW as a title and thumbnail
relax rob lol
theres always that guy. youre right tho
And yet Christopher Doyle credits WKR in an interview for freeing him from being so technical behind the camera . So who’s the real creative mind
You’re right and you’re wrong. Andthis exact mindset is what’s wrong with the filmmaking industry today. The producers and studios think the same way - let’s spend money on the DP, the actors and the writers yet we have more bad movies than good movies.

The Oscar for 'filming on a low budget, and if you got any camera, no excuses' goes to Megan Tan. Thanks Megan and Brady for a wonderful video!👏👏
HAHHAHAAH thank you this is my first Oscar and I shall cherish it 😂

Great video, I've seen Brady videos as well, cool to see you both collaborate!
THANK YOU SO MUCH 🥹🥹🥹❤️❤️❤️
I love the final result 🔥 Digicams and older cameras in general have their own charm
They do 🥹❤️

heyy...jsut asking, can you leave a link for those digicams
I don’t have a link cuz I bought it off ebay 🥹🥹 but you could search for traveler fx5
@@megantanhweewen it's alright...thanks for the great video though
What type of digicam did you use in this video? Really curious
It’s called the traveler Fix 5
Fx *
Thankyou, great video really felt like old vibes@@megantanhweewen
hey sorry, may i ask what digicams you used? really great results:)
its called the traveler fx5 hhaha
Could have used a slow shutter to give an even more chaotic look, something Christopher Doyle has used in Chungking Express.
Ooooo yes I should have added more of that effect in post ( the digi cam can’t do manual settings lol ahhaha )
Can you suggest some low-priced digicams?
I think digicams are all pretty low priced if you get them second hand, like the one I got for 10$ is totally worth it, literally just got it off ebay and never looked back HAHAH
@@megantanhweewenoh
It's totally value for money then😊
In the final video did you leave the "Oh Yeh" that Brady was saying behind the camera @ 8:18 is ? on purpose or was it an accident?
Hm? I don’t hear it
@@megantanhweewen Check again I heard it 3 times to make sure before I commented about 8:19 8:20 mark on this video, as soon as the shot of you far away appears, you can hear him saying "Oh yeh".
What kind of camera did you use?
I used the digi cam Traveller Fx5
What digi cam was used for the underground shots?
It was the Traveller FX5 !

Yessss sirrrr preachhh
You did one good shot and used it as a video cover👌🙄 other so so
thanks
you should have put a different bgm for the final output to make it more dramatic, great work nonetheless!
Hahah I kinda agree with you
Could I ask what digicams are these shot on?
I don’t know the brand 🥹🥹🥹❤️❤️
I think it’s the traveler FX5
Which tripod is that?
I actually don’t know you’d have to ask Brady!
I didn't know Hozier was also a filmmaker.
Hahah ikr he’s so talented
looks like it was shot on a toaster, but good composition!
LMAOOO
Hey great stuff here! are you based in Germany? would love to create something together if i visit there in may.
Heyyy yes I’m based in Germany :)

Yeap the goat !!
the result kinda seems like video clip of vitalic-poison lips
Hahaha idk what that is but I gotta look !!!
Looks like a lost footage from a backroom.
HAHAAH yeah sort of does huh
Good video but the music doesn't match the video, I think you should work on that
