The super-simple advice "No A-holes, including yourself" is probably the most useful thing here for getting through a production in one piece. ;)
I remember hearing that in one of the podcasts and loving it. Some of the best "industry advice" has less to do with super wonky technical stuff, and more to do with just being a decent human being. Films of any kind and budget are hard enough without people mucking up the vibe further and creating friction where there needn't be any.
yup
No A Holes, so important! It's a stressful environment but it's a whole lot of fun too!
Hahahaha agreed. That and pretentious people..can't stand that. Just be yourself. Your fun creative self.
Agreed. No point adding more unnecessary stress.
Yep. A holes make youtube videos "Best FREE Resouces" and then almost everything they mention costs money.
Just saw this on October 20th - immediately wondered if I could make a short film in 3 days.
Hi bro...I am also interested in doing short film concept
@@asrarvaiyanna8910 me too, how do we organize? 😂
Did you?
@@mettymaster6963 me three 😂🎞wassupppp👀
@@onlyfortherealdigitaltapes very curious to know if you guys made your movie or not
Can we see a Cinetracer only version of a Film Riot episode soon? ;)
PLEASE

You guys are fantastic. I've been following for years. Your info is so helpful especially for someone making films in South America where you don't have all the high-end technology or equipment readily available or the quality of it isn't so good. Many times, that forces one to DIY. So, thanks for continuing to be a beacon in the world of filmmaking as I will continue to follow you...tchau.
You guys rock! We're so lucky to have you ❤️
Thanks for all the knowledge you share, you don't only educate but also motivate and give hope to all of us 🙏🏼
Big love and best of luck to the team and community out there♥️
As someone who is just getting into directing and more serious film making, I greatly appreciate your videos, this one especially. I've only worked as a producer and writer on a MUCH smaller scale than even indie films, but I've been curious about what tools I can use to take things to the next level, so I really appreciate you sharing these resources!
This is amazing. Ryan/Film Riot thank you for everything you do!
I love the effort you put to making your TH-cam videos.
wow thankyou👍🏻
Hands down one of the best, most informative episodes to date.
I am so grateful for the film riot tips/advice and the "click for click" tutorials -- I don't wanna do every video project with all these crazy effects but it would be great to have enough experience that if i do need to add something or alter something- maybe it won't look so "fake" against my footage with more practice. My first "make my friend a monster" test was bad. Monster mask i made in photoshop was jumping around changing scale size and angles... i think the motion tracking is something i need to work on (when moving points manually when they get out of line)
That Scriptnotes podcast that you linked is such a useful tool. Since it came out, I've listened to it at least three times, each time taking notes. It's exactly what I needed to finish my latest script. I"m going to have to jump on pixar in a box too.
Your channel deserves more credit. Im surprised that you do not have more subscribers. Please keep posting. Cheapest film school ever.
Always makes my day to see a film riot video!!!🙌
Goon on ya Ryan. We Love your passion mate
Sir thank you for this video. I don’t always find this channel helpful but this was really direct, to the point and extremely helpful. God bless you all 👍
What a video
Seems like it's a perfect collection of all the work film riot has done over the years to help filmmakers and starters like me
I missed the date for that competition but I've been watching film riot since those "early days" he showed, using PVC and his family to make these videos haha
Thank you, I enjoy learning more and more. I am planning an epic road trip across America in miniature cars, that high school kids built. Been learning more and more about setting up and filming this trip. Thanks for these tips.
This could not have come at a better time, I got my first shoot this Sunday. Thanks you! Also thank you for the Western tutorial you made a few years ago. I live in the same city as story book ranch, and while I couldn't get that location, I was still in the area for places you recommended for props
Been watching you from 2014 and trying whatever possible things which you have shown and learnt a lot thank you🙂. I should have studied here instead of schooling.
Thank you always for great insight. This channel has been feeding my dream for years.
Great timing, I shoot tomorrow my second no budget project. Love your content!
Thanks for the resources!
These are such amazing resources, thank you!!
This is awesome! Thank you!
Thank you for this Film Riot! Will definitely make the best of the challenge 🙏
No A-holes best advice in all jobs. Good on you Ryan!
This video is so good. The notes make it so helpful. Thanks guys!
Love these guys ! This is so informative

Thank you for this video and all the videos you've made Ryan...peace and love...

I’m so excited to see all of the submissions! I would enter if I didn’t have so much school work going on right now. Maybe a Thanksgiving - Christmas challenge would be viable!
Thanks 👍😊
Great Episode!
Thanks so much for this video. For me, when I've tried to write a solid story for my projects, I've always found that I come to this wall and I can't get any ideas or the ideas I do get are underdeveloped or no good..
Thanks a lot for this informative video!!!
THANK YOU!!!!
Thank you sir.
You sir are amazing. Respect
thank you very much sir
Amazing. Thank you
Honestly the only thing I needed from this video was free, royalty free music (not Artlist).
Check out Mattia Cupelli. A lot of his stuff is free.
great episode :)

Did you mean aspiring?
I think you mean aspiring, but I hope you'll also be inspiring.
lol thanks guys i fixed it
Thanus sm

Q: What should you take on consideration for what counts as a different scene?
Background? Theme? Feel?
Links in the notes below
According Robert McKee's book, Story, a scene is unified around desire, action, conflict, and change.
If a character changes locations, that’s a new scene. Other things can count as well, like a new character entering a pre-established scene or another character leaving that scene. If the character stays in the same location but time changes it’s generally a new scene. If you jump to a different character in a different location, that’s a new scene.
Say you’re going to your friend’s house. You call them on the phone and ask if you can come over and talk. They say yes. You grab your keys and get in your car. You drive down the street. You knock on their door and they invite you in.
Scene 1a. You on the phone at your house. Grab the keys and walk out the door.
Scene 1b. Your friend on the phone at their house.
Scene 2. You lock your front door and get in the car.
Scene 3. You drive down the street.
Scene 4. You knock on your friend’s front door and they invite you inside.
Super!
I rarely use any of these items because I'm always being very sma and banal with my projects mainly because I'm usually a one-man on camera but not behind, my cousin and brother are often behind camera, sometimes. Considering whats going on now- shooting by yourself is useful.
good work
6:00 worst case just fall back to the basics of coverage: Master &/or Medium > Close Up / Reverse. Also, get inserts of important or interesting props or actions in the scene and most importantly remember that the audience won't have any context besides what's in front of the camera. If you have an amazing location show it off. As DoP I stormed off a set (a small $300k indie film) once because the director insisted on the most boring camera placement pointed away from the super cinematic location. No one will get the vibe or benefit from anything outside the frame. I eventually complained enough that the director agreed to let me get the single shot and it was worth it as I got many compliments afterwards on it
*Edit* i just wrapped my 2nd feature as DP and I've filmed many award winning shorts/docs/music videos/commercials/etc
Not gonna reveal my true identity on this account either lol
Do you have a link to that shot?
@@jetflicks84 but that would reveal my true identity 🤔
@@potatoface4698 ok. No problem Bruce Wayne. Did i guess it right? Ha ha. 😁
@@jetflicks84 close lol
I am starting to produce a documentation film soon. I think this is very helpful! 🙋🏻♂️
Didn’t notice it mentioned here but Celtx is a great piece of software for screenwriting. It’s a monthly payment, not that expensive, and is kind of an all in one studio where you can also create shot-lists, call sheets, script breakdowns, all kinds of stuff for pre-production.
I use roman numerals for scenes, numbers for shots in 10's, so that I can add inserts without disrupting the numbering.
12:51 and 13:03 are the best pieces of info!
You should make a updated filmic pro "tutorial" / tips
God I love this channel
Great Video.
Thanks for the resources.
Also, have you seen the film called Russian Ark?
That might be a good resource for technique since it was a single shot.
This is great info!
It seems that as filmmaking becomes more democratized, you still see this move to try and lock out low budget beginning filmmakers by stamping "industry standard" on stuff even though at this point there is a LOT of industry standard equipment out there, whether Hollywood is using it or not, and some of that software is absolutely free, or very low cost.
Super
Late start! But in pre-production!
FREE STUFF YES
I do have a short script. My hurdle is that I am better at writing the beginning and the end but lack a good middle story. It's something I am working on.
I've been needing a push to get back into making short films. Hopefully get off my lazy ass and put one out for this.
