How to find a crew then?

How to build a crew then?

Sounds good, I'm in Sweden and sometimes soon maybe back in the Philippines...

Over the years I've often come across the idea that those who keep working on creative things are the ones who are most likely to be visited by their muse (I'm sure there's a more poetic way to say it, but I should be in bed already). As someone who works in long-form fiction and who has to create around life (I'm a working mum, so all the emotional/mental labour of running a household, plus regular work have to come before my writing) I often have to create when the opportunity presents itself. Usually a burst of inspiration comes after that. The idea is that after many edits, the two states will blend seamlessly. One tries 😄 My opinion is that it always comes down to balance. Still, better to make yourself create something than sit scrolling endlessly. Better to create *anything* than sleep through a day. That being said, sometimes you have to sleep. Sometimes you have to let your mind shut down. It's all balance. But the muse is unlikely to visit while you're mindlessly scrolling an algorithmic feed of content, unless you've trained the algorithm to feed you inspiration …

You've done it again, another Masterpiece!! 🙏🏾

5:06 the reason old school gaffers hate LED is legit. The Sun has the highest, most accurate color rendition. The second highest is... tungsten. And this fact remains to this day. They just get insanely hot and melt off your fingerprints if you're not careful. That and they require a ton of amps to run.

Yo this is so cool!!!

How much does one of these cost? 😮

I've found over the last 2/ 3 years that it has been difficult to find crew, especially when working with a budget of nothing. I think I've got lucky finding willing crew (very talented friends of mine) and actors (paying for the travel, accommodation and food). I agree with you guys, when saying you're so conscious of other people's time and when I made my first short film - I made sure to plan the hell out of the production process making sure we stay on track, so I'd overestimate some days but we'd finish early everyday so like 5 hour days, for a 4 day shoot. This was nice mainly due to me making sure I'm not wasting their time and that they still have time for the rest of their day and obviously I get to make the short film I want to make. It worked well, I'd absorb all the stress and they get to have a nice easy day, which is what I really want for them especially when they'd help out for free and it feels rewarding at the end of the day :) (Edited: I made my first short film for my final year at university, I'm 22 years old so still very new to filmmaking but I love the craft. I also primarily worked on other short films through those 3 years as a DoP and sound recordist. Then for my final year I wrote and directed my first short film)

Could you do a video on the S5 and the nikon lense I literally want to get the a same lenses

This is Excellent! You've definitely got a winner with the S5 and Ninja combo. 💪🏾

Yes if you have very tight budget I would advice to anyone to go s5 ( used ) but otherwise Old AF Panasonic is so chaotic. As long time gh5/s5 shooter. I mastered their chaotic AF even with my skills about it I manage to miss some shots because I was on gimbal etc and sometimes even in good lighting condition, you have no idea why the af just goes retard** mode. I have MF lenses/fd lenses , but When im on gimbal I have to rely on a good AF. I even bought the 85 1.8 lumix instead of 85 1.4 sigma because it was said that lumix 85 1.8 had a better af . All being said I saved to pick the s5II but even if the new AF is finally usable and great , the fact that it still 4k60 crop. made me wait a bit. on maybe a s1h II. Even if , If I saw a S9 used at a good price , I might jump into.

Well Yes, for the right price. Maybe more for photography. But since the s5II/X are pretty cheap (for Full-frame) i would go for the updated camera.

Nice video mate, loving the production quality in such early stages of your channel! I was surprised to see you were a smaller channel. You'll go far! I've got the s5 and I absolutely love it. I always wanted a Sony A7s4 or something but right now I'm very happy with the s5.

what i dotn understand is why people like to make youtube videos in this aspect ratio other than the fact that you want to also use it for vertical platforms. but the info here is decent

Why would you use such a shitty converter? The image you're getting looks worse than what the camera can deliver.

Nice job bro! You popped up in my suggested after a Jamie Windsor vid I watched. Keep it up 💯

Brilliantly presented - and mesmerising images. A great tip too on the smoke machine. Appreciated!

I just bought one off of eBay. I bought it for nostalgia reasons. Brings me back to when my dad would video me and my sister as a kid. I want that feeling with my kids.

The best part was that I nabbed the camera for $5 at a thrift store fill a bag sale

Instant subscribe from me, Zack Bro! I LOVE retro cameras. Great Work, Man. 😎

What model is this one? Thx

This looks so good, inspiring stuff!

Wonderful piece of art! Makes me want to make more with my Digital 8 camera. :)

I prefer MiniDV

really good video man! was astounded that you didn’t have more subscribers, thought you’d be at 10k at least.

House of leaves reference

Funny how I thought “maybe I won’t shoot film, I’ll shoot tape so it’s cheaper and it’s sort of unique in today’s landscape” ALL OF A SUDDEN this video comes out lmao. Also, nice typewriter. I have the exact same one… are we telepathically connected?

This video is very high quality! Man, now I can claim that I was here before this blew up

this was an awesome idea bro

How doesn’t this have more views?? Great video

you're scrratching the surface. keep going

If you connect the camcorder to a HDMI converter into a 4K recorder and record it tapeless, it'll look a lot more cinematic and more HQ. I've been using this method for almost 2 years now and it's shockingly really good tapeless in RAW format.

Would you consider using this camera for something?

3:28 There are documentaries on TH-cam (mainly Shorts) that use AI generated images, scripts, and speech.

First! Also fax

It will change things big time, hopefully make shitty cgi look good at the least. It’s amazing how fast things progress

bad choice of music and too loud also, it gets in the way of what your saying. You dont even need a music in the background you have a good microphone. See MKBHD sometimes when speaks its only his voice without any track

some constructive criticism: put the mic SOMEWHERE but don't hold it. try to freshen up the 90% talk with imagery. make a bold prediction and try to prove it. the way you present it's nothing but a summary. waaaaayyy less of your face, unless there is action. not gonna debate stache and chain, taste differs. and that's a good thing. check references (like cold fusion tv). besides that? good start!

These are just tools. You can be a filmmaker still but instead of camera - if you choose so - use AI to generate content. 100% agree on stock footage though, it's dead.

How do you think these AI tools are going to change the filmmaking industry?

A very interesting and amazingly constructive look at technology and the industry as a whole. Thank you!

You can create consistent characters, styles etc. with ThinkDiffusion.

Your videos are always so high quality Thank you for addressing this subject from your perspective!

is that Letters To The Church by Francis Chan in the background?! anyway, love the video! personally, i think filmmaking is a fantastic medium for self-expression, mostly because the limits are theoretically endless, which means it can be whatever you want it to.

amazing work, you guys! the camcorder turned out to be perfect for this project

What are your thoughts about the medium of filmmaking generally? Let's start a conversation below!

I was just looking for something to watch, and when I saw your "add" got the impression it would be Something terrifying or silly, but really without even a word I found comfort in your video, in terms of the atmosphere and the photography. Thanks.

hate it when i show up to tour a house and it's one of the dadgum ones that eat again

Nice! Would love to see and full length version
