Film Riot has been there for me through thick and thin. I was 16 when I started watching it and now I'm 26. Time is crazy. You guys have made me laugh, educated me, and served as a real source of inspiration for me. I cannot thank you enough and I can't wait to make something I'm proud of enough to share with you guys. Thank you so much for all you do.
That’s incredible. It always blows my mind how long Film Riot has been online. So weird to think about.
And feel free to tweet something to me any time.
@@filmriot Thank you! I'll take you up on that!
I am 14 now and going to start my first short film and have started listening while doing homework and watching the videos when I need some help thanks film riot
"Write Shoot Edit and Repeat!" Learnt this from you guys..THANK YOU!
I'm 17 years and already a couple of no budget shorts but I Shot my first real short with actual actresses last Thursday and I definitely would not have been able to do without everything I learned from film riot. Thank you. Now It's time to edit.
Just curious: Is the project finished now? I’d love to watch and support it :)
This was totally one of the best Film Riot episodes ever, brilliant advice from such humble, talented people all round. Been watching you guys for 10 years - I'm 20 now - and you still inspire me, thanks for everything you do.
ArtHoundFilms yes. i would like to donate money just for this information
I'm 28 years old and I have been subscribed to this channel since I was 16. Since then I have made several short films, worked at several studios and have been a freelancer making commercials, music videos and even working on some (small) projects for Disney. Now I'm putting together my own Virtual Production studio to launch some very ambitious and exciting projects of my own making and MORE importantly I have a portfolio that I am very proud of and honestly it wouldn't have been possible if I hadn't found your channel and realized that all I needed to do was pick up a camera and start trying to figure things out. When people ask me where I learned it all I say Film Riot. Thank you Ryan.
Lol, "this monitor will turn into a mirror in sunlight."
and i have that camera too)
The timing is perfect for this video, I recently just went full time into my own marketing business
It’s crazy, I feel like you guys post things at the exact same time I’m trying to figure out those topics! We are currently trying to figure and get our full funding for our feature film we are filming in Fall!
Keep up the great work! Thanks for everything you do for the filmmaking community! We’ve learned most of what we know from you guys and have applied it to all our shorts and the one feature we’ve done.
Lmao me too! Check out my IG: I so posted a cry baby picture. AND the Film Gods spoke.
HA HA HA...You called that one alright. I even mentioned it last week. I was scolding a super newbie about how unprepared he was and not even getting permits of planning the 3-week shoot in Downtown SanDiego and BINGO...that night here's Ryan with the exact thing I was telling the guy. Ryan even remembered me from years ago of something I mentioned years ago and replied back...Big time guys are still homies!! Rock on or we'll hurt cha bad LOL
Same :d
@@hsynsrky Rock on !!
Same here
I absolutely adore you! I've been watching Film Riot for soooo many years (like since I was a kid and I am 23 now) and has always been my main source of inspiration. I remember it as one of the first shows that I've watched, together with the old Indy Mogul one, around the first years of TH-cam. Someone once planted the seed of creativity inside me and you along with a few others, are the ones that have been watering it for all these years. And now it has finally sprouted. I shot my first narrative videoclip in summer and I'm planning other film related things too. So, THANK YOU! I love your passion, your sense of humor, the way that you are so open about your whole process and the fact that you support and promote other creative people. A dream of mine is that one day I'll meet you and I genuinely hope that when I do, I will be in a position to help you with something or even better, collaborate with you. You guys are absolutely THE BEST!
I appreciated the fact that unlike all the other channels on youtube y'all are not trying to sell us every new camera that comes out. you guys are all about technique over gear. you guys used what's needed to get the job done. and we can't expect you guys to stay at the same level because you audience is not at the same level. growth is the missision
Despite the usual high quality, this episode was outstanding. I think the technique of filmmaking is something that people at least have an idea of where to start - watch, shoot, edit, repeat - and there are numerous tutorials on lighting, editing, etc, but the business of filmmaking seems opaque and vague by comparison. There is no one clear path like other professions so people can be kind of directionless on how to progress beyond no-budget shorts. Videos like this one that shed more light on the "how-tos" of getting projects from script to production to exhibition/distribution are immensely clarifying. Loved the accounts from the other filmmakers and thanks to those guys for helping. Absolutely loved this one, Ryan.
It's been such a beneficial experience watching your career grow and having you take us along with you. I'm about to turn 20 and working on my first short film I started filming in June. It's horror and I'm not expecting it to be perfect but I've learned so much to doing it and think I'll have great improvement with my next one (hopefully I'll film it this summer). Since I was 16 though, I've been making 2-3 minute short videos ranging from comedy to action to horror. I've learned a lot about doing vfx from them and it's all thanks to what your channel taught me. Excited to see all the projects you do in the future man!
This is one of my favourite videos you’ve ever put out! So much value 🙌🏼❤️
This is the most honest and brilliantly produced video about what it truly means to be in this business. If you are all about the money you are going to be seriously disappointed but if you are passionate about making films and patient with the journey, who knows where you will end up. Thanks Ryan, your team and those that shared their experiences.
I am the phase where everything is self-financed, things fall apart, rigs, dollies, lights and camera gear setup are cheap and unreliable and feels like there is nothing else than problems ahead but seeing this video keeps my spirits up and encourages me to finish project a ongoing indie project. Thanks guys.
One of the most useful videos on this topic I've seen. So many others just give you the meaningless and tired platitudes and generalities, but this video gave real examples of real filmmakers who talked about specific numbers, specific gear and specific progress steps and clear examples. EXCELLENT!
I'm always grateful for videos like this, you're doing justice by informing others about this matter
Longtime subscriber and it is great to see how far you have come. I look forward to the next short film, and that 1st big blockbuster! Thanks for bringing us along and sharing what you have learned.
Always appreciate the time, effort, and honest info you guys have provided over the years. Thank you for putting this one together and sourcing other filmmakers for their specific input - it’s inspirational!
This video is one of the best quality tutorials/advice. Extremely helpful and useful, and plenty of different insights from different experiences.
Fantastic, good work!
Film Riot is my Film School
Nice ! How’s the filmmaking going ?
Love it.. Vids like this is why i subscribe.Ryan and his team present topics in the most down to earth and humorous way. Im glad to always learn something here. Thx to everyone for creating this channel! #filmriotfam #filmlife ❤🎥
Another fantastic enlightening episode, guys! Makes me want to jump on my next short.
I would just like to take this moment to say THANK YOU FILM RIOT! I almost gave up on my dream of becoming a filmmaker because I'm miles away from the nearest film school and I can't even afford any gear. But it is because of your videos and other free resources I found online that made me pursue it. Surely I still have long way to go to be a great one but I probably didn't reach this point - where I can just make 3d animated shorts(or maybe even longer films) on my own, in my room, on a laptop -, if it weren't for guys like Ryan and other guys and gals who share free resources to help others not just learn but also have the means to make their own stuff. So yeah, THANK YOU FILM RIOT! :D
Literally one of your best videos. I've been watching film riot for year's, I remember watching it in my film class. Keep up the good work 👍👍👍
Hello Ryan!Thank you so much for the advices and mentorship,am writing my first short film and I believe that I got this.Thank you so much Film Riot & Ryan in general.
I love how transparent you are in this! Great video.
Absolutely loving this series! Thank you so much for the motivation and inspiration
Helpful! Thanks, as always, folks.
I appreciate your work to the fullest. Never stop. 👍🏼
THIS. This is the most inspiring episode of Film Riot to date. All you guys trully inspire me to move forward and do stuff, no matter what. Thank you!
So glad you got something out of it!
Again, thank you for doing what your doing. There are lots of youtube film/video channels out there, but few make me want to actually practice my craft and edit something as consistently as yours does.
that may be the most motivating video i've seen in months.. or... ever.. i easily forget stuff, but definitely the best in months! Thanks Ryerye :)
Fucking phenomenal episode. Finishing a short right now, in the pit falls of post-production depression, and this was the exact thing I needed.
Great episode, love this channel! Was looking forward to a new episode to help forget about the week we're having. I'm so inspired by all of you guys. BTW, being a featured filmmaker on Film Riot is on my bucket list
Right on time. Shooting my first feature in April. Love the channel.
really REALLY appreciate this and you guys.
Hearing all the different approaches was encouraging & motivating.
Yeah defo ! Are you a filmmaker ?
Thank you for making this channel, it truly is my biggest inspiration and I'm so happy that I have you here! ❤
No THANK YOU brotha! We new and aspiring filmmakers appreciate you and all you do here in your channel. Big thanks and so much props!
I've been making movies since I was five, I took my old phonecamera and filmed myself in my underware playing Star Wars. Now I've been able to gather a crew from school and I'm also aloud to use the schools camera gears. Only using money for transport or food. David inspired me to keep making movies even if you don't have the money or professional gear, and you guys keep teaching me new things that I've found very usefull!
Ryan and the crew -> you did it again. Thank you so much
Perfect timing! Thanks Ryan!
Thanks for another great video. I was just thinking about this.
This was an awesome video! I always learn something new whenever I watch your posting. Keep on sharing our knowledge!
thank you, your channel is always so inspiring!
As always...superb info!!!
Wow! Thank for all these words of wisdom, loved this episode! Also, David Sandberg is such a legend.
Thank you for laying out your blue print into getting into the industry in a "self made" type of way bro I appreciate it all
This is so inspirational!!! Love all the different voices! The different perspective!! Been working on two shorts and I have been getting down on them but this video really has given me the life I need for the shorts!
Great follow up video! Was looking forward to watching David’s bit, after I saw his post on Instagram the other day 🙈
Ryan, I want to get into Hollywood, for start, I want to make a zero budget movie. this is almost 5 year i think I'm with you guys and I really enjoyed .
thank you for changing my life ❤
Always Solid Advice well articulated and well put together as always
Every point and piece of advice that was included in this video is absolutely right. I'm still filming things for pretty much for free and I continue to learn new things and pull off shots with cheap gear.
Thank you so much for the video man. And your channel. The info and inspiration in this video is immense.
Again sir , film riot are an inspiration to all of us , and we ask you a question on Twitter you go out the way to answer us or just have a general conversation. Not to many big TH-camrs do that and I speak for some of us or all of us THNKS A WHOLE BUNCH
Keep it up I’m caught up with all the film riot episodes .
This episode was very reassuring. Thank you ❤️.
Can't wait to see you guys get pick up or work with Blumhouse production. 😁
Very helpful as always guys!
Shooting my first film in may , and watching this is so much motivation, my budget 3,500 with no resources , i have a wonderful plot and will be posting the link
Man, this is/was so informative. As a solo everything (writer/director/camera operator/lighting/sound/editor) master of none zero budget filmmaker, I completely understand the frustration of making films with zero to little resources and help. But, can't stop doing what I love. I'm pretty much self taught and try and absorb like a dry sponge everything film making, and of course, your channel is right up there at the top of channels to watch/learn. I'm what you would say, an 18 yr old trapped in a 60 yr old body. And all my friends aren't interested or way too busy to give me a helping hand. I keep reaching out to people like on LinkedIn to try and connect. Nothing though. I'm not on Facebook but starting to think maybe I should be. Could be like minded people out there that want to, well you know. Make movies. Anyway, great channel, and I hope to be doing the things you're doing when I get older.
Keep hustling bro ❤️ I'm with you 🙏
You're gonna do it. ❤️
This video makes me want to stop everything and go make a film. Love these types of videos. P.S. I can't wait to see your first feature.
You always provide amazing content for us to educate ourselves. I’m currently in my final year from the same school you went to and loving every second.
Love the episode! Would love to see more stuff like this with different opinions/experiences.
This was inspirational, hearing each success story and journey. Pumped to get back on narrative work. Time to dust off the journal with short film ideas.
Great insight! Definitely needed this. Just now making the transition from doing music videos to fully going into short films with the hope of it leading to features.
Loved hearing all the perspectives!great episode film riot

U all are good guys.
Iam here writing my first script without even having cameras.
And thank you filmriot, TH-cam for my 4 years of learning.
How did it go?
Great advice. You guys are an inspiration!
This inspiring more for a short I've been working on for quite some time, considering what's going on with the corno-virus and what not but I'm still active at make something.
Another awesome topic and it is so great to hear that others aren't making money either, but still do what they love.
At 24 I crowdfunded my first series, My Life as a Video Game to $32,000 - I put in another $10,000 of my own money after that. We only raised that kind of crazy levels of money because first of all, crowdfunding was still relatively new in 2012, and secondly because I had a co-star and friend Brent Black who at the time had around 150,000 TH-cam Subscribers to his channel to show it off.
I had some personal issues after and, to be honest, it took me years before I went and made another short film, Parallel Sins, and a lot of the success in actually coming to life I owe to Ryan directly, which later lead to our next short film, inspired by Harry Potter called "Sisters of House Black". Because of Parallel Sins and I'd managed to prove myself to other producers and we were able to make Sisters of House Black on less than 1/4 of My Life as a Video Game's budget and we used a lot of resources from right here to make it.
"Sisters of House Black" hit *ONE MILLION VIEWS* last week in four months.
I owe a lot of the reason I have a success like that to my name because of my friends like Brent and like Ryan, and on our next film some companies we've now gotten the chance to work with because of SOHB and My Life as a Video Game's success. This video, Ryan, has basically shown me at nearly 32, just how I've actually managed to achieve what I've achieved in my life. So, thank you, this was a great one.
That’s amazing man! Congrats on all your hard work paying off! Well done, sir!
Film Riot Thanks! Again, I owe a lot of it to the Triune film packs that helped me put together VFX I never could have dreamed of making in some of the killer short time frames we ended up having.
Super valuable episode! Thanks.
Great video and very helpful as I go into film school next year! Please have these guests more on Film Riot!! Love their work and what they have to say in addition to Ryan's already very knowledgeable advice. :)
Wow videos like this help me keep going and realize that it often comes down to skill rather than money 😯👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 😊👍🏻 thanks Ryan
So glad you liked it.
Great content! Very inspiring!
I remember myself watching Film Riot on Revision 3 and at that time I wished to make a movie. Thank you Ryan, I'm finishing my second movie.
Awesome job again! How do you color grade your films?
Very inspiring and empowering! Makes us feel like we can also do amazing stuff.
Currently putting finishing touches on the movie I wrote. This information was real helpful 💯
great episode!!
Ryan, yall are really hitting a sweet spot with your content right now. Keep crushing it.
Thanks!!
Colin Levy and David Fucking Sandberg. YOU BOTH ROCK. BLENDER IS AWESOME
Great episode!!
Shooting my first action-drama short. So nervous but I’ll try to film this!
Classic! Film Riot has been inspiring me since 2011
My first short film was made for the Make Film Now Challenge from you guys and that was with no budget, and a home camera. And even tho I didnt win the supportive comment from you guys made me so happy.
Sandberg is one of my biggest inspirations for becoming a filmmaker.
Thank you this was very inspiring
