I'm finding this series you're working on to be fascinating, at least watching you making it is. Zenith Run itself has sort of this early 2000s SyFy channel film feel- considering you're making this for a LOT less than they probably paid to make it, that's amazing.
I just put out a similar video around my fan film experience and then just saw your new update. Great video and breakdown. We're on the same wavelength with all this for sure! Keep it up!
Another great how-to. I say this with a lot of admiration for what you do... but I really do feel like you'd be doing yourself a favor by toning down the filters and the weathering of the props. You address this in the video, and I totally get why that stuff is there. I'm not saying to eliminate it. But sometimes you get so extreme with the weathering and filters that things can get kind of murky and hard to see. With the Zenith Run clips here, everything is so dark that I feel like I'm watching a dark print of a movie while I'm wearing dark sunglasses. I feel like you're trying too hard to cover up, like maybe you think that your stuff can't stand up to the light, but your stuff doesn't need to be hidden in the dark! As you do these tutorials you'll reach a point with filters or weathering that looks just right to me, but then you keep going until it gets really dark. If you did about 70 percent of the filters and weathering you do now, I think it'd look better. Anyway, I hope this advice will be useful to you and I'm very thankful for all the hard work you put into this stuff. Keep making things!
This is my favorite channel on CZcams. I too do a lot of making and prop building, and feel like we possibly were separated at birth.. even have the same beard ! Please keep it up!
I have a recommendation in regards to the kitbashing ship shots, what if you moved the ship on a slider and kept the camera still because that's how they did it for Star Wars and Blade Runner and old school sci fi movies like that! Anyways as a fellow filmmaker I love this channel and can't wait for Zenith Run
Hmmmm... for my cast... it's only me. LOL.. and one of both of my daughters from time to time... I see that you have the chemistry of casting down to a science!! That's what's up!! I am sure it had to be a work in progress to get this down to where it works out as smoothly as possible!
To someone like me who knows next to nothing about film production, the words 'no budget' or 'low budget' might be a bit of a red herring. Your breakdown shattered my assumptions about how much work can go into this, and I'm genuinely flabbergasted, and I'm only 10 minutes in.
Thanks for another informative video. You help me keep my short film production going. As a matter of fact, I've started kitbashing a model for my scifi short thanks to you! Happy New Year!
I have been kit bashing for years though not for movie making just for fun, I am hoping to start a film project using green screen. Can you make a video about that technique?
for me just writing out various elements of world building is fun and once it get started i tend to go very deep... sometimes a bit silly, other times very serious but never really overly dark. also love building things and have more ideas than budget which is very frustrating
Love the information you have in your videos. I’m just starting out and learning green screen effects. I think you really would love a 3D printer for your props it’s so perfect for making sci-fi guns and ships. If you get a sec look at my first try at green screening on my channel and let me know what you think. Keep up the good work.
This is excellent. I am a HS art teacher and you just helped me out big time. You are a good teacher, man. You say a lot more in those 30 minutes than most people do in a lifetime, so thank you for that. I am wondering, if you were starting a ‘let’s make a movie from scratch’ corner in your classroom, what would you have on your model making bench? I have green screen and a small budget, so I can spend a couple of hundred dollars. Can you point me in the right direction? Take care mate and keep doing this, it’s brilliant stuff
Going to be starting my film using a lot of what you are showing.. Your scratch-build videos were a god-sent, thank you
If you have any footage to share I would love to see it.
Anthony has the best vibe. Like a hip scifi santa
hohoho
"For improv, you need actual actors, you can't just do it with your friends."
It depends on the friends...
true
Finding your channel has been a delight. Absolute treasure trove!

Thanks for your class teacher

Love seeing that Barbarella poster behind you in the office! Great stuff and great tutorials!
You're doing sort of what I used to want to do. I get nervous around people so I've never actually pursued like moviemaking and stuff.

The spaceship shots remind me of Galaxina. Love it!
It actually looks good and fun. Thanks for the input and advices.

Please keep it up!
Great advice. I made my first feature in 2020. No budget. Now streams on Amazon.
Dude, I love Midnight Run.

Another fun video. You have a really fun channel here.

I love your enthusiasm. I'm writing indie sci-fi novels now, but I hope to expand into indie film making.
love that
Watched some of your CZcams and seen one of your short movies and parts of zenith run. It’s encouraged me to try and create a sifi.
I’ve got 3 canon XL 2 camcorders i found online
Galactic galaxy was really good
thx!
It's amazing to see all the videos you've produced culminate into an actual film.
Keep up the great work!
thx
I enjoy your green screen work. Definitely would like to see more of your After Effects tutorials
As someone that is currently mired in the production of a thing for a long time, I found this video inspiring. Thanks.
When you have no friends interested in film making, and you want to make something haha
This is an amazing channel
I love it.Thats awesome.Your an inspiration and a blast.I just love your channel,you rock.
Thanks. You are empowering a new generation of film makers! Keep up the great work.
Looking forward to seeing Zenith Run! It is great to see so much of the process!

@@createscifi appreciate the thoughts...your channel is a new favorite of mine...love the creativity
I found this very inspiring. Thank you!
creator on the rise!
Odyssey and Star Wars without 'Arte Povera'?! I don't know. Namastè.

3D printer is looming :0

Anyone else here from the trending tab?
Great video!
thx
Great video.
thx
In case someone is moaning about the quality, ask Christopher Nolan to make a sci fi with $100.
Where can I watch Zenith Run?
Where’s the spaceship set?
You’re standing in it.
Where do you store all your props in between shoots?
they are on shelves in the shop some are in the background in my sign off segments
Why did I think the thumbnail was real life Eren and Mikasa from Attack on titan
buddy cop movie....like Alien Nation?
good one
@@createscifi thanks *grin*
Clickbait title.

Love me some Battlestar Galactica!
