Hey fam! Here’s a video for the PHONE FILMMAKERS. If wanna make short films or skits with your phone, check this out: th-cam.com/video/06ra6prNbqI/w-d-xo.html
I made a film once where I wanted a shot where the camera pushed in on me, but I was by myself, so I put the camera on a skateboard, put the skateboard on a slightly inclined surface on top of some stacked boxes, stuck a knife under the front wheel to keep it in place, and got in position. Then I yanked the knife out with a string and let it roll until it hit some wadded-up clothes at the end of the incline. The shot made it in. Cost nothing, too. Sometimes having zilch to work with trains your problem-solving skills like nothing else.
Love the creativity. Using a skateboard as a dolly is a classic move. Great thinking!
I litteraly use my iPhone 6 to do everything like record, edit etc
whatever gets the job done dude!
Hey man saw your videos and you got some potential dude. One thing though, I saw that your comments were turned off and on one video I noticed that you were asking for feedback. I think they're turned off because you were honest with your age when you made your TH-cam account. Whenever you can, make sure you change that. It'll be beneficial to you in the long run.
I’ve watched a few of your videos now and they’ve been really helpful, keep it up!
thanks so much, I really appreciate that feedback! 🙏🏻
Hey fam, here is a more in depth tutorial on how I make short films and skits by myself from start to finish!: th-cam.com/video/AZms8MidnMo/w-d-xo.html
would u like to help me make a short film...i have so many ideas
I only have a papaya and a banana. Can I still make a short film? The story is simple. One day I ate the papaya, forgot about the banana and it rotted and got really gnarly so I threw it away... So really when I say I have a papaya and a banana, I really mean I have nothing.
Ahaha I'd watch that film aha
Does the banana come back from the grave and seek revenge? I'd watch that.
So I’ve recently shot a few commercials for local businesses and a few product commercials and I want to attempt to do a short film on my own, that’s how I found this video, and I’m definitely going to utilize these tips. Thank you, I’m subscribed
Rob!! So glad to have you. Happy to help with that short film :)
@@NateKillian My other channel is called Grey Needle Productions, that’s where I upload commercials and things like that. So here’s some of the things I have. I have a box light and a key light and a little ring light so I’m good on light for now, I have a lapel mic and the condenser mic but not a shotgun mic, something I’m working on. But the main thing to be able to fill myself and get shots I want is I need a gimbal. I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max and a Canon M 50, and recently I looked at the feiyutech AK2000c, Because it can be controlled with an app and it has a touchscreen monitor to be able to do tracking shots. Although I would love the Ronan, it is pricey
@@robcolone8546 it is, it’s nice to have, but it’s not a need thankfully. If you really want to add movement, you can always shoot in 4K and adjust your key frames in post!
You can do it bro. I make skits but would love to go bigger someday
I absolutely love your tutorial. And how encouraging you are. Thank you. Stay awesome bro.
Thank you Mike, that really means a lot to me. Thank you for your kind words. You’re awesome dude!
Wow, that gimbal is amazing! Want to go watch your short film next!

Very informative video!!! You have a new subscriber in me.
🙏🏻🙏🏻 thank you!!! Happy to have you on the journey!!
I’ve been wanting to shoot some kind of short film for months, but I can’t act, I don’t have a cast or a crew, and-worst of all-I can’t seem to come up with a story! So my question is, what sorts of places can I look for inspiration, for story ideas for my short film?
If you can't act, another cool way of telling a story is with some great b-roll and a voice over. One way I find inspiration for a story is by watching movies or TV shows. Also- watching other creators and seeing their creative process.
You can always do a silent film. All you need is an interesting story and occasionally change the angles/shots to attract the audience. You wouldn't need to talk, or write a dialogue script. I have made a few of these and it really works great as long as you can tell a great story
Thanks for sharing.. u just gained a subscriber
You are welcome!! and welcome to the channel :)
Hey Nate. Thank you for the tips
You’re very welcome!!
@@NateKillian I am getting involved with filming. I am working on creating my first film, ur tips are great, maybe one day we can collab.
@@VexcomStudios glad to help, and maybe one day!
You rock!!!

This was very helpful, and you have beautiful eyes!!
Thank you!! 🙏🏻
Thanku for this omg
glad to help!! ☺️
You are really amazing.
Thanks fam. You are too 🙏🏻
Thanks, very helpful 🎬
You got it Adam !
@@NateKillian Thanks 😊 I started making shorts just a week ago and I use things like table lamps and sheet blankets to defuse them. I am trying to use everything I have and turn limitations into possibilities I wouldn't figure out otherwise. I am planning to make a short story about a Vampire and your videos inspired me to challenge myself. Great Content Sir. 👌🎬 Greetings from Poland!
Thanks! Trying to get our audio better since we just use the Iphone audio that we're filming with. But some scenes are closer than others, and we have mulitple people in different places so the audio never sounds the same.
You’re welcome! One thing you can try is multiple audio sources and syncing them together. So if each person had their own audio source, you might be able to get better audio when you have people in different rooms. All you’d have to do is sync them in post and blend them together to sound like one source!
@@NateKillian Yeah good idea! We don't have the budget yet to buy multiple mics tho (or even one) but maybe we can try using our own iphones, maybe with the earphones mic?
@@dawghousetv you could use your phones and buy some cheap LAVs off of Amazon. You can get a pack of them for like $20
How does this guy not have more subs and views
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏼😤
ikr
How does this man only have 676 subs
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🥺🥺🥺
Please I mean the app to use
I wonder if anybody can remember scp overlord and how cool of a film it was. Dam I love it. And thanks for the tips they are helpful.
Edit: What is a good and free editing software that isn’t filmora 9
Davinci resolve has a basic version that is free and honestly I think it’s great!
@@NateKillian Thanks. I’ll give it a try and keep up the content!
@@aviationtalent will do!!!
hi , iwanna program help me to make short film by word from movie like i take are frome movie and another word like swim from another movie can you help me thanks
So it sounds like you’re saying you want to make a short film with clips of words from different movies? Is that right?
I've been wanting to get back into making short films.
You totally should!!
My camera has a mic that attaches to the top of it's balancer and my camera has a screen on it so i think I'll be ok? What do you think? Oh it also has an led light too
Hey Jack! Working with what you have is great. All depends on the style or project you're shooting. Typically with mics, you want to try to get the mic as close to the subject you're capturing for the clearest audio. An LED light is useful with the proper placement! Let me know how else I can help
@@NateKillian thanks man you helped alot
Hey man, I have a class project and I have to create a dramatic 2 min film , the story line is that I’m stuck in a loop. And now I don’t know what to do from there
Message me on Instagram if you got it @natekillian we can chat more there
@@NateKillian sorry I didn’t see this but I’ll make sure I message you tomorrow, goodnight man !
What do I make on for TH-cam video need a tutorial
What do you mean?
First TH-cam vid ideas
Bruh..your last message just makes me subscribe your channel
Broo 🙏🏻🙏🏻 so glad you’re here
Dang you talk about a lot of important topics in the video production industry! We enjoy what you talk about, don't stop. Anytime you are in Arizona reach out. If you'd like, DM us @dmakproductions on IG and we can connect. You do really great work.
How did you manually use the slider while filming yourself?
Is there a specific shot you’re referring to?
@@NateKillian no, you said in this video that you used the slider manually.
@@peasantfarmer3030 oh no, I don’t film myself with a manual slider. I have a manual slider, but I’d ideally like to have a motorized one to film myself with.
@@NateKillian Where can I find some guidance on rack focusing from one person to another, in a masked clone shot, in which I am playing both persons, using a common background which will be masked? Have you understood what I'm trying to describe?
@@peasantfarmer3030 hey! Yes, I believe I do. I haven’t used this technique as a rack focus before, but you can try increasing and decreasing the “Gausion blur effect”. Drop the blur effect on top of an adjustment layer, create a mask over which part you want to focus on/create the blur, create key frames increasing the blur when you want that focus to occur.
Does this help? Was this what you were looking for? If you have more questions, feel free to reach out on Instagram @natekillian
Him: heres what you NEED to get your idea..
Me: somethig to recod video! :D
Him: A story
Me: welp i skipped that step. Right .... :0
😂😂😂
But what if you can't act?
Come on... I know you can... but some amazing b-roll with a voice over will work as well.
What camera do you use ?
I use a Sony A6400
I really love that movie type quality , that’s what i want to have with i start making skits and short stories . I’ve learned a lot from your videos
@@LordDahmirious I’m so glad to hear that!! Comment some links to the skits you put together. I’d love to check them out
Bro im the 300 subscribe
BRO 😭😭😭 were best friends now. THANK YOU 🙏🏻
@@NateKillian no problom 😀
I have 3 Personalities in my Body right now,so I have 2 Peoples left to be an actress,or the Editor.
Yes. 3 People in 1 Body. Imagine....
I can totally relate. My career started out with writing, then acting, then directing, then shooting and editing, and was able to see success in those areas, but I didn’t want to just do one. And that’s how I ended up with TH-cam. Gives me the opportunity to all of them!!
@@NateKillian Yeah.
Is that metaphorical or do you have DID?
@@cuckoobrain7999 Maybe I am.
Amazing Tips....is it possible to reach you on something like instagram...cause I'm trying to create a film for an MSI contest I really want to win...but idk the ideas I have feel mediocre and I'm searching for the right person I can share them with and can tell me the right approach to take at refining and pulling it off :(
Hey dude! Yes, shoot me a message on Instagram 🙏🏻
@@NateKillian TYSM what's Your handle?
@@MiDaY_i @natekillian
If you use an iPhone and have an Apple Watch 👌
Dudddeee didn’t even think of this. GREAT tip!
my android is grand BUT hand held tad shakey even when I am still -_-
You could look into the mini gimbals for phones!!
@@NateKillian what is a gimbal? (forgive me ignorance)
😥😥😥😭😭😭😭😭nooooooo
Please people don't buy a ring light!
Definitely not ideal, but for a low cost, multi-purpose light, just might do the trick. If it gets the job done, it gets the job done lol
Can i have a shoutout pls
Watch my next video
So im going to get a shoutout
If i am tell them about my channel
Ok no worries mate but if you did it would make my day
Thank you for the tips.
Of course!
Please I wish to ask that can a good phone like Samsung Galaxy S9 producing a good audio without an external microphone?
In a very specific environment it’s possible. It also depends on what you’re filming. If you were in a room that had great sound absorption or if you could get the phone close enough to the subject- you might be able to get good enough audio.
@@NateKillian Thats true Thank you
Greetings to you sir, This is Danilo the guy whom you answered his question the other time, please I got a lot of questions to ask and I wish to ask if I can lay them down here???
@@iamdannymilzz totally! If you have Instagram, you can message me there too (@natekillian). If not, here is fine
@@NateKillian i prefer Instagram Thank you🙏
