    You can edit and license music for very little, the only hard costs are a good sound rig, never underestimate your sound, it’s more important than your image quality, and if you want to shoot at night, or match scenes, a good lighting rig is another potential cost.

    It's all about skill. You can have a crappy camera, crapy equipment and the audience can forgive that aslong as the story is good and there is clearly a level of expertise that went into shooting the film. The opposite can also be said. You can have an amazing camera, amazing equipment but the audience wont appreciate that if your story is crappy and your not clearly not experienced. And, when I say experience, I mean in terms of actually shooting the film (cinematography), and editing the film (such as pacing and overall theme building, etc).

      Literally none of these guys had that. Scorsese was born to working class immigrant parents, Spielberg has working parents that also got divorced part way through his life, Fincher had to work for years as a PA before writing to get his break. Many other famous directors also did not have any financial help as they climbed up the ladder. Stop whining and do something with your life or take responsibility for why you don't have what they have.

      @@logantotman1574​​⁠ I think Spielberg’s dad, who was a computer pioneer in the early sixties, was a little more than a “working parent.” Same with Christopher Nolan, whose father was an advertising executive. Scorsese went to a private Catholic high school for boys in NYC. They all to some degree were born with golden spoons in their mouths. Not really whining about anything either just pointing out how cock it is to generally say “if you want to make movies like I do, you have a camera on your iphone go make yourself a movie” when the person saying that has had their parents financially support their every single wish tenfold.

    They want to think this is true, that anyone with the talent and the drive will make it - then they don't have to feel guilty about not helping anyone out. You can have talent out the ass, all the ambition and drive in the world, you can want it as much as it's possible to want it, but still not succeed. How many movies can actually be made? Not many. And, sure, the camera isn't much - what about sound? What about special effects? I wonder how long Spielberg would have kept making movies when he couldn't afford to make them on no money. How much did Jaws cost? Close Encounters? Indiana Jones? Good luck making those with a borrowed Super 8 and no money! Bullshit. ....And I'm not an aspiring filmmaker, but this applies to all walks of life.

      Fucking what? Scorsese was born to two working class immigrant parents. Spielberg wasn't too far off as his father's ventures didn't make their family much money until his teenage years and his father didn't support his filmmaking so he never got any money from it. David Fincher worked as a PA for films for a while before slowly working up the latter, not born to rich parents. Coppola I don't know but I know he also did not get opportunities right away and in fact, was kinda put in "directors jail" before The Godfather. Nolan I also don't know his financial background but his first film was made for basically nothing. Tarantino worked at a video store for his 20s because he didn't have enough money and had to focus on writing. Stop with your whining when you could just actually have talent and work hard to get what you want. Take responsibility for your own failures.

    Filmmakers are now known as tik tokers 😣 slight drop in quality but it’s convenient

    These guys are a joke. They barely hire anyone who has never been to film school to work for them or to even be on there set.

      That's the point....just make stuff. It doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to be made so you can get better. 8mm cameras look like dogshit, THATS THE WHOLE POINT OF WHAT THEY WERE SAYING!

    Crazy to think very guy in this video is a legend and had MUCH less ability to make a movie based on what was available at the time they were young.
