Most of us here are beginners to intermediate and we have to make due with what we have. I'm sure if someone has the ability to hire a full crew of professionals and a budget of at least 100k then they probably already know what they want and need. So who exactly is this video for?
Tips for reaching $100K in financing. 1) Have a good attitude. 2) Use your real legal name as your CZcams username (or) make your legal name really easy to find on your CZcams channel. 3) Post your film work on CZcams. 4) Get a job that has nothing to do with filmmaking that pays well, even if this means going to school for something that you’re not particularly interested in but you’re competent at that pays well. (e.g. not film school) 5) And most importantly, have a good attitude as everyone in filmmaking is facing financial, logistical, and personal challenges.
@@shashankkumar2340 It is for marketing purposes if (emphasis on if) a person is looking for funding for their film projects. Or if they are a writer, director, actor, etc. looking for more client work. It is helpful if a person is building a brand to be searchable and findable on the internet so that people who want to work with them can get in contact with them. I hope this helps. 😊👍
You would be surprised at how many people with budget from 30k-100k wanting to make short films or feature films have no idea where the money is well spent. Heck, so many of them end up blowing a good chunk of their budget on camera without even understanding what goes into deciding what camera to shoot on. Everybody wants red and arri. For a 100k budget movie, do you really need a red or arri.
Also, Film Riot actually shot a short film shooting audio into the camera once. It was a long time ago, but you wouldn't be able to notice because it sounds practically normal
Great info, and great to see you in person! I like having a video where the person doesn't necessarily give all the info, but gives places to start looking and thinking.
@wolfcrow : Do you think vertical video is better than horizontal? CZcams now favors lengthy vertical video apart from shorts. So, do you think the future of film making is vertical?
i lack 9 and 10. And i kiiinda own a sound device, but i've spent almost 1.5 years preparing myself (getting the other 7) to see what i really need. My style will not need lights. Besides, you cant carry them where i plan to shoot anyway
Those numbers... 23.000$ for a fluid head?? WOW! But in all honesty great guide, people should think much more about the whole process. At the same time I think people who don't get that, are not likely to consciously produce something interesting for me to watch.
Renting is so much important than buying. Unless you are a trustfund kid the gear is extremly expensive. You can not put all your money into a tool and then find the job requires a different tool and survive in this busniess. Then you realize the tool you purchased has become obsolete. You are fucked. You can rent an Alexa today and a Sony Venace next week and still be able to buy groceries. Rent it. You want to buy something buy something that does not change quickly. A light meter and a cheap apps for your phone are 2 things you can afford and will use. If you do have money then perhaps Full Frame lens is the way to go. They will always be needed. Even then other lenses might be required for your project.
lol same here, I only have and can afford that. And Meiki lenses. If Sean Baker taught us anything with 'Tangerine', it is that you can totally make do with microbudgets too. But get THE SOUND RIGHT at any cost, even if it means spending more money on hiring a dedicated sound professional. And of course, last but not the least, solid actors who can do actually good acting.
Why two microphones? I've seen professionals due great sound with just one. Really it comes down to if you have the budget for two, get two. If not, use one and schedule time around getting the right sound

If you have to work with what you already have, why would you watch a video on what to buy?

Excellent list. For full film making workflow list, I would add editing - but that might be different episode.
Bilkul adbhut saaf saaf vidio... information perfect...😊
Sure. I’ll buy a 10k$ tripod head
Awesome 👍 Thanks for the Lavalier mic tip too.
I know what I want but I don't have the money
At least this is not money that you want... 😉
Also, Film Riot actually shot a short film shooting audio into the camera once. It was a long time ago, but you wouldn't be able to notice because it sounds practically normal
what do you mean - mics connected into the camera (and not a recorder) or using JUST the camera mic?
@@lumikarhu into the camera
Great info, and great to see you in person! I like having a video where the person doesn't necessarily give all the info, but gives places to start looking and thinking.
Great video. Thank you. Ignore the haters, man. Keep up the great work.

Are you a filmmaker if you shoot with a digital Arri? Can you make an amazing film with an iPhone?
I think I would answer both with yes.
You sound so sincere, thanks for the information
The genuine guide to beginners 💯
Great vid bro! I will definitely thank you in my Oscar speech. 👍

Hii what are some specific Filmmaking cameras would you personally recommend for beginner filmmakers?
...to begin, the one that you can find ! 😉
Everytime i hear about the new Blackmagic sony or GH5 or alexa i remember Steven Soderberg shooting a big movie on an iphone. 😀
Amazing video! To the point. Keep amazing job.
1:06 what is that colour checker board name called.
In brief, acquire the best, most onerous equipment; if you cannot, do it anyway ! 😶
¿ What's a good XLR cable for recording voices? (Sennheisers MKH 50 and 416 to MixPre 6 ll).
Ok, gotcha. But how do I get all the money to afford all this stuff? ;-;
What is your opinion on mobile filmmaking. I just got a new Redmi Xiamoi, a gimbal and some add on lenses to start ..
Thanks a lot sir

I'll be at the peace with the Blackmagic 4k lol

Which one do you recommend between black magic 4k & Sony a7s iii
@@MulisaNM 4k, but I'm just being biased.
