I enjoy “the making of” videos, especially the conceptualization of stories and the decisions that lead to how things are sequenced and shot. Great video!
@Zach I am thoroughly impressed!!! All of this on an $8,000 budget?!! Really great!! Is Clementine out yet? Thanks for sharing your process for the project with you and your team. It's always great to see creatives being creative. Fantastic piece
Watching behind the scenes videos isnt the most effective way to learn how to make movies, its not even a way. Going to a university or working on set is an effective way per se. You cant learn either the craft nor the narrative part of filmmaking at home watching youtube. Its like those ads that says you can loose weight in 2 weeks just by taking a pill and staying at home. You gotta work for it if you want to be a director or a cinematographer. Watching endless amount of film, taking endless amount of photos. Reading books, learning about the great painters, writers. Start working on set, etc… So its way to complacated for learning it on youtube. The video is good tho, its instructive for someone who wants to be a filmmaker and doesnt know anything about it. But next time you should cut these outrageous bullshits, because everyone knows that is not true.
Just a quick question. How would you able to make this short film in $8000 budget with Arri camera and heavy gear set up? If you could able to do a video about it, It would be helpful. Thanks in advance and amazing content.
I am in week 6 of film school rn and I will definitely be using this video style of voice-over on top of the BTS footage for my school film projects! Awesome video!
Don’t spend time on set that you could have spent during pre-prep…. Spending time on a shot that appears for a few seconded is proof of lacking pre production.. creative decision don’t or shouldn’t get made on set… get your DP involved earlier in development
Have watched this like 3 times. Am a cinematographer and I love seeing what you did. Your set was just the best. I’ll love to see more. Everyday on set is a learning process . Hope to see more
The answer to "what is the best angle for the scene" is coming by putting up the right question, which is: WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE SCENE? If u got that, then u know where to put the camera.
This is what great content looks like, it's inspiring and useful. If it is possible, I would like to know How many shots were planned and shot per day? What were the roles of the crew people on set? How long were your shooting days? And How was the budget distributed? Haha too many questions, sorry. Btw, I subscribed right away.
Hey Felix, the Amira has been used for Netflix films! The Ivory Game is an example of that! Also, our film was shot on the A7siii (the same sensor as the FX3), Which is an approved camera. Finally, this is more about the process than the camera. Hope that helps (:
apparently it doesnt take much (well you have to be up someone in Netflix's butt) to get on netflix..have you seen 28 Days Haunted. The other thing is if you seriously want to get your flick to Netflix you have to have an in the trench agent, otherwise you wont be considered unless you risk it and send unsolicited submission. On the positive side, looks like your crew is producing a top notch product and good luck with that.
big props bro! loved the film, was nice to get an inside look at how you guys put it together but also the process of working with a bigger team, I'm still a dolo mofo fo now heh
appreciate this video- you dropped a lot of knowledge which i can relate to, especially the idea of "surrender filmmaking" . sometimes going with the flow has the best results!
the scene of her coming down the stairs at 17:05 is sublime- the mood, the lighting, the talent, the colors. Such a beautiful shot. SO excited to see this film.
Making those mistakes in the long run is the best thing you can do. If you don't make any mistakes, you're just asking for ONE GIANT MISTAKE to happen, and then it's all over.
Amazing! I'm looking at the monitor with the guy in front of it. It's already color graded. I don't have enough experience in this area. Why does it look like it's color graded? Great job Zach!
So cool! I'd love a "gear break down" and a reason as to why what the camera choice, lenses, filters and such were made in order to get the results you/DP wanted.
It is amazing what you did,but honestly,netflix movies are kinda bad,ngl. I am a cinematographer too,and i have only seen literally 1 movie from netflix that i've liked. Rest are.........
Cool. I had a wild roller coaster ride when producing 13 episodes tv series! Very stressful and I swore I will never be in tv or film production again. Then the next job comes around I am like. . . .ok.. . .let's go. . . . .
Check out Clementine here: th-cam.com/video/s6jTVB2GgFA/w-d-xo.html
Had a blast making this one!! Would you be interested in another video like this?
Yes!
Definitely.
Heck yeah, love these kind of videos!
Keep ‘em coming!
Great work and I learn alot here

Love the "making of" genre! So valuable to see the process Can't wait to see the film!
most important thing for making a netflix film is letting someone unexperienced do the writing
This is so cool Zach. Your channel is a total gem
You are a total gem

Wooo so happy it inspired you 🤟
cool vid! but i will say... that dolly tho.... i just think unmotivated camera movement just does my head in .
Really appreciate having access to this BTS as I'm a growing filmmaker and this helps a lot!

This channel is film School pro max. Thank you for such great content everytime Zach. In the near future you will be known. That's not a maybe.
Dont forget to lower the speech to an almost unaudible spot and then blow our ears witch soutrack music right after. Netflix style =D
"Netflix style"
So happy I burned my Dictionary. Not ever gonna need it again.
Have watched this like 3 times. Am a cinematographer and I love seeing what you did. Your set was just the best. I’ll love to see more. Everyday on set is a learning process . Hope to see more
Do us all a favor and keep making these!
I want to see the final result! I wan to see the full short film. Great video boss
Heyy clementine, that’s like one of my 15 million aliases
The answer to "what is the best angle for the scene" is coming by putting up the right question, which is: WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE SCENE? If u got that, then u know where to put the camera.
Dope video Zach. So do we watch this movie on Netflix?
This is what great content looks like, it's inspiring and useful. If it is possible, I would like to know How many shots were planned and shot per day? What were the roles of the crew people on set? How long were your shooting days? And How was the budget distributed? Haha too many questions, sorry.
Btw, I subscribed right away.
Exactly how can you do a Netflix movie if you are using an Arri Amira? Last time I checked, that camera is not approved for Netflix.
Hey Felix, the Amira has been used for Netflix films! The Ivory Game is an example of that!
Also, our film was shot on the A7siii (the same sensor as the FX3), Which is an approved camera.
Finally, this is more about the process than the camera. Hope that helps (:
Wow we're still together! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Slap in your shoulder. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
LOL, why would anyone want to make a movie emulating ANYTHING from the platform of unimaginative, ultra ego-driven fodder? LOL
Thank you for sharing this! Your videos are so informative.
What lens would you recommend for documentary/ vlog Content? Also, do you prefer the fx3 or the A7siii, canon r6 mark ii
apparently it doesnt take much (well you have to be up someone in Netflix's butt) to get on netflix..have you seen 28 Days Haunted.

Just have unnecessary gay characters everywhere and you will be just like Netflix
What is "Netflix style"?
$8000 budget before or after purchasing all that equipment?
big props bro! loved the film, was nice to get an inside look at how you guys put it together but also the process of working with a bigger team, I'm still a dolo mofo fo now heh
im literally watching the BTS before watching the film lol
Nik is a great cine, I follow him on vimeo. Looking great!
Great Video.. im enjoying it...
What Follow Focus System you used?
appreciate this video- you dropped a lot of knowledge which i can relate to, especially the idea of "surrender filmmaking" . sometimes going with the flow has the best results!
Looking forward to seeing the results! Will you be talking in any upcoming bts vids about securing/scouting locations?
Hello ! Very nice vidéo with a lot of learning points. hoewever, i don't see any explaination about a Netflix production style..
As a fellow filmmaker i just want to wish you the best and hope to see the film one day!
How on earth did you only spend 8k with all those people and equipment? Agencies in charlotte charge 40k for lifestyle photoshoots
What makes this a Netflix movie
I have a stories to tell and and a sister to find
Who can help me surviving a narcissist movie
Where i can see the final movie?
This is not how to make a movie en 3 days. You should change the video title to How to SHOOT a movie in 3 days.
8000 usd ? that was the budget for my film.
the scene of her coming down the stairs at 17:05 is sublime- the mood, the lighting, the talent, the colors. Such a beautiful shot. SO excited to see this film.
def not for beginners this was just a flex but good TH-cam click bait
This is so cool! TH-cam algorithm just made me stumble upon this video, including one of my favourite cinematographers Nik!
WOOO, thats awesome! Funny enough Nik is one of my FAVOURITE cinematographers too!!
So much fun to do it on a budget and working with a small team.🎉
Love it, love it, love it. I'm working on my first no budget film and watching this is inspiring.
You can do it! YEAHHH!!! So stoked to see it!
how did you get Netflix on board? Did they give you funding?
How to make a millions and live in Hollywood to get a 25 dollar an hour job
Whats the point putting green tape all over the camera parts 😁
Making those mistakes in the long run is the best thing you can do. If you don't make any mistakes, you're just asking for ONE GIANT MISTAKE to happen, and then it's all over.
netflix movie? no. netflix series? maybe.
Really good video. Wish the bts stuff was a little longer though.
Thank you! The next vid will have more 💪
Amazing! I'm looking at the monitor with the guy in front of it. It's already color graded. I don't have enough experience in this area. Why does it look like it's color graded? Great job Zach!
They might have used a monitoring LUT in the external display/recorder.
@@raksh9 Got it. Thank you.
Yes!
This was great, looking forward to the next installments and can't wait to see the film.
Thanks for sharing
Is Neil related to Dan Schneider?
I'm soon started writing my own movies ...and directing love learning love yall work...!❤❤
Good video :). Why yall calling the slate with MOS? It's easier to just grip through the clapper with your fingers in my experience :D
So cool! I'd love a "gear break down" and a reason as to why what the camera choice, lenses, filters and such were made in order to get the results you/DP wanted.
I'LL chat with Nik and see if we can get him on camera!
@@ZachRamelan looking forward to it!!
I'd love to know what the brand of field monitor you're using? Cheers
where can I see the movie ?
So awesome Zach!
well done. Really enjoyed this....
This was an awesome watch
There’s a movie called Clementine starring Steven Segel. Go give it a watch. It’s an ansolute gem. I’ve never seen a movie as bad as this one.
Sir which camera you use for this video sir please say sir
Lots of cameras:
The actual movie was Arri and Sony A7siii
Talk to camera FX3
BTS: Fuji?
It is amazing what you did,but honestly,netflix movies are kinda bad,ngl.
I am a cinematographer too,and i have only seen literally 1 movie from netflix that i've liked.
Rest are.........
Thanks Zach, I'm looking forward to the film.
Great Stuff!
Just opened this video after watching Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind ❤️
This was a great video! When will the movie be on Netflix?😏
Cool; video BTS. Your title baited me in.
Hahha
I don’t understand why that running shot took so long. 😂. Hopefully you’re happy with it
We took time on day 1 to get into a rhythm with each other - real good rule!
Thank you for making videos like this I have a short film to shoot for class and this has helped me with shot ideas
Where can I see this film?
Can we get a editing section added to future BTS? I learn so much from these
Amazing
"København" sign?
Epic! Thank you!

Looks great. Reminds me of Ex Machina
Zach, this was fantastic. Watching your BTS makes me eager to get back on set! Cheers.
GET IT Jason! I wanted this to feel like being on set!
interesting bts. I miss more info on the sound part as it also plays a massive role and is often not treated as it should be imo.
Love it. Gimme dat pt II babyyyy!!!
what program did you use for the vfx?
congratulations on your film!
Thank you for this video =)
What was the follow focus that was used?
Thanks for sharing
Cool. I had a wild roller coaster ride when producing 13 episodes tv series! Very stressful and I swore I will never be in tv or film production again. Then the next job comes around I am like. . . .ok.. . .let's go. . . . .

Good luck!

Liked, subbed, and ready for more! 🙌
Does anyone know where the final result is?
