Having made a horror short myself with some friends I found this so interesting to watch. We did a longer movie - about 11 minutes for a Halloween occasion (with an intro and outro) making it about 13 minutes with ad-libbed dialog and two cameras (one a camcorder and one a mobile phone). We shot quite a bit in good light and evening and some at night - this last we used lights on phones for. Your sound design was excellent and I think that really adds to the final outcome. Congratulations
Great job. Exactly how I've done some projects. Yes, unless the camera has some built in stabilization, use a stabilizer (I use the same style, no gimble) for shots, unless you can lean against something, like a tree, and just do some simple panning. Great use of light, shooting in the dark direction first, then shooting in the sunset direction when it gets darker. I was thinking the exact same thing when you were talking about how short the time is you have available light-wise. I love how simple this project is, yet so effective in story telling.
Probably also worth going over the music and sound. Seems pretty well suited to the movie and choreographing cuts with dramatic changes in music and sound really works well in this movie.
I really like the way you see things, it's with this adaptability that you can learn a lot - spotting happy accidents, using them wisely, especially during editing gives great satisfaction
Thank you Joris. Very insightful. I rather liked the slight shake in the footage tbh. Made it more immersive imo. Keep up the great work. Now on to the sequel. Joanna in the Underworld 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
Your Videos are showing that gear is REALLY not everything! You prove us beginners and everybody else what is possible if your are an passionate and creative creator… thank you for inspiring Joris. Aaaaand thanks to Joanna too!!! 😄 I know exactly what you mean with being lucky with her. My wife has to help me out too with my passion 😅😅😅 I am lucky too!!! Greets to both of you
Wow. The film looked like a hollywood horror movie trailer.. but after seeing this realized that you can do these things if you have clear cut idea about what you do and how do you get those things done !
Very good breakdown, I enjoyed this video of your process, with minimal equipment and limited access to personnel, very much... I have that same Neewer stabilizer and mainly shoot with a Sony, A6000, with good results... Many of the "Behind The Scene" videos I run across, are way beyond my capabilities, with high end gear, actors, technicians, and even special effects... Thx, Moses...
This was great man. I’m new to filmmaking and have a similar camera - Panasonic G85- and am working on my first microfilm. This was very helpful! I’d love to learn more from your channel.
Cool Ive done SFX in my videos years when I learning about photography and TH-cam videos I still mess around with it a bit, in November 2020 I did a little car wash video I went from color to black and white when the music started and I left the car wash sounds come through over the music.
Looking for advice. I'm trying to film a solo horror movie only because I have no actors. I plan on shooting in the forest during the day with a type of witch doctor killer. I have 2 phone cameras, one on a small tripod and the other on a 3-axle gimbal. I could tint the entire movie in black and white but then I would loose the color of the trees. Using Premiere Pro to edit everything together, do you have any color grading secrets?
Great! Didn't even think that you spent 5 days shooting this! I know how challenging is to film with the Canon M50 outdoors. And it really scares me🥺🥺 so I keep most of the my short film locations indoors and I'm good to go! Changing light and this tiny little camera is a real challenge. But it's also fun! Thought that ladder and window were a part of your little production design. Now I need answers. Why is it there? And for how long?🤯🤯 That could be a real rabbit hole! Who knows🙃...😅😅 Anyway, again an awesome video! Inspired!
The window in the tree thing could possibly be a fairy house, people make them for fun, normally parents and their young kids do, I remember making one for our yard
@@JorisHermans I'm in Ireland. There's even a couple of parks in my area that are done up with fairy doors and windows. My childs bedroom has doors on her walls for them and we are doimg our front garden up to be a fairy land so wkll have them everywhere lol. I know people in England who have their gardens done up with all fairy things.
hi, Thank you for the tips, could you please let me know, that "how Can we shot an horror film using an iphone" or give me some tips. Your reply is highly appericiated
Hallo Joris, Super leuke en vooral interessante video’s ,zeer leerzaam en leuk on naar te kijken! Ongelofelijk hoe simpel sommige shots en edits kunnen zijn! Die ‘adem’ geluiden kwamen me wel bekend voor, heb ik in mn laatste video ook gebruikt :) Heb je die van Duende sounds? Groeten uit Maastricht..
Hey, zoveel Nederlands in de comments tegenwoordig. Leuk! Bedankt voor de leuke comments! Nee, de sounds komen van EpidemicSound en de muziek van Artlist.
Of course! I have never used one before but I think the only issue you'll have is depth of field. You probably can't get a shallow depth of field, right? But that does't mean you can't create something cool, man! Just go for it!
such an amazing short film! love the pacing from start to finish! it's incredible how you managed to use such a budget camera and made it look so much better. anyways i have one question, what color profile did you use for this film? your adjusted neutral flat profile or did you use cinestyle to get more dynamic range? i noticed with the canon m50 using cinestyle brings so much noise to the shadows. really love the way cinestyle looks but i dont know if i can deal with the noise, any advice? thank you for being inspiring! 🔥
@ so quickly responded😂 can you speak german? I’m from Germany (roots from Bosnia) and I learned from you so much. Thank you so much for you videos on you tube😃 I want to study media design and had the Idea for a short horror clip for admission test. So I came to this video 😅 helped me a lot, because I have no budget right now so.. have to improvise
@@JorisHermans wow I never thought that I would get an answer😯😅. But besides TH-cam. I'm asking because I heard that yt shouldn't be used to make a living because of the economic difference between each video. Is TH-cam your main cashflow source? If I may ask you. I just wanted to know if there are jobs in companies for filmmakers, like commercial companies or something like that and if you work in such companies 🤷♂️
Just make videos. A lot of them! It takes like 100 videos to get good at it if you’re starting from scratch. I’ve been putting out 3 videos a week for a year now and the difference between the last and the first is huge!
Thanks Joris!!! 5 minutes after watching, I went out to record this with a R100: th-cam.com/video/Trj-v1bq-LQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=shlDc7NclWIWyl6g You inspired me!Thanks a lot!!
@@JorisHermans i didn't mean that way man. I appreciate the fact that we're entertained with variety of content free of cost. I was just saying Anyways. The video was awesome, on a next level. Keep working hard 👌
@@valhallaiamcoming1376 Yeah, I totally get that the unskippable ads are kind of annoying... do you get them a lot? TH-cam decides what kind of ad you get and personally, I barely get the unskippable ones but some of my friends get them all the time... 🤔
@@JorisHermans talking about unskippable ads, this was the first time the duration of the ad was almost 25 secs whereas the usual unskippable ones which i get are generally 10-15 secs long and the rest are skippable in under 5 secs. Nevertheless i do get a lot of ads and i gotta admit, ads which pop up even before the video starts annoys much more than the ads which come in between the video
It was a great short film, didn’t even realise any of the shakes you mentioned!
Perfectionism 😩😊🙏🏻

The window and stairs are a fairy house :) We have them all over here :) They have doors or windows or even full houses

@@JorisHermans thank you dude I sure will have a great day
Thank you Joris! Great as usual :) I really like the ending :) Do you have any specific advice for the editing?
Very simple editing here. The most difficult part is gettingt he pace right. Fast or slow cuts and that depends on what kind of video and the music.
This is cool. I'd love to see part 2. Where does the doorway take her?
I already made a slightly longer version here: th-cam.com/video/QLpNMZ-C6jw/w-d-xo.html
You did a great job man
Thanks, man! 🙏🏻
Mate you’re the best one! Impressed what you are able to do with the M50 😱. Quick question: which picture style did you use?
Neutral profile. Contrast and Saturation all the way down.
Which software you used for editing and how
Hello, Any idea how to get volunteers for first short film.
I am going to make short film I need some ideas how to bring effects and scenes can you help me please
I shot a shot, but the reds flickered. I tried to get rid of the flicker, but no success. Do you or anyone have an idea on how to remove it?
