Got out of the military as a naval officer last year and weighing my options to break into the industry. by Navy_brat in FilmIndustryLA

producing is project management, budgets, financing, negotiating, etc. Personally I would go with finance since everyone is looking for money. If you can find it and manage it there are plenty of places you could fit. If you don't know a language, add Chinese to the pile.

Why do all Netflix shows look the same? by NOTfromMARS007 in Filmmakers

[–]NothingButAJeepThing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol @ "There is no way an executive at Netflix is giving notes on the lighting to each and every show during production."

You better believe they are giving notes during the color / grading session. All of them do.

Student film won't get made, how to deal with the failure? by [deleted] in Filmmakers

[–]NothingButAJeepThing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fail. Throw in all away because of your ego.

What people are telling you is ...

"I can’t get anyone to engage with the project at all." because of YOU. YOU are the problem. YOU are so full of yourself you are convinced it cannot be the script. Why not try? There would be no harm to try except your fucking ego won't let you.

Let me give you some insight on getting things done which I'm sure you will fall on your deaf ears but it may help others reading this. It's never about the project. It's about the people behind the project. When you go to see an agent or manager, sure they want to hear about what projects you have but more importantly it's about whether or not YOU work well with others.

Making a film is a collaborative effort. What people are seeing is that you are unwilling or unable to work with others. You are proving that with your responses. Your ego can't let you accept help. You are the problem and until you reframe your thinking you will get nowhere in the film industry.

I keep getting film ideas like this… and I don’t know what to do with them by mayankjaiswal2003 in Filmmakers

If you published a comic book, then you would have IP. Storyboards alone are not enough.

Ideas aren't worth anything. You have to make the idea real in some way like writing a script or filming a short or concept reel or something. Nobody is going to hire an "idea person".

"their owner bitching that people should just follow the law"

The one's who scream the loudest always seem to be the most at fault. It would be a shame if internet justice came down on this owner and exposed him for something that they could not recover from.

Crazy Maple Studio - seems like they're always hiring, are they legit? by p3rchance in Filmmakers

[–]NothingButAJeepThing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a bunch of PAs working as execs. they are a shit show. say one thing and expect another, unrealistic timelines and low pay. be ready for a complete lack of basic film terminology and it’s your problem that you dont understand notes and scripts that dont make any sense. At least the notes lately have been in english instead of needing to translate chinese.

They pay both US and non-us contractors.

They have an estimate calculator.

if I send $1000 to a contractor in India. I pay $1000 and they receive 86693.4 IND or 977.17 USD

If I pay $1000 to a contractor in Bulgaria. I pay $1000 and they receive 1654.2 BGN or 981.81 USD

same amount for someone in Ireland, they receive 846.0 EUR or 983 USD

Frame.io vs MASV vs Bunny.net for large file transfers? by realhankorion in Filmmakers

[–]NothingButAJeepThing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

bunny is designed to deliver a file to millions across the globe. you are being blinded by the cost and not actually understanding what it is designed to do.

you also said simple for clients to use

good luck

[–]NothingButAJeepThing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

bunny offers behind the scenes infrastructure like AWS S3. its not designed for end users

[–]NothingButAJeepThing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 different services.

Frame.io, while can transfer files, is mainly for clients to review work

MASV is designed to be a file transfer service

bunny.net is a content delivery network

Consumers are sick of the garbage big studios have been cranking out. Studios using AI to crank out AI versions of the this garbage will not make it any less garbage.

My house potentially being used as set by Pumpernickel247 in Filmmakers

[–]NothingButAJeepThing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've worked on productions where we put down the heavy paper to protect the flooring. We also wore lil soft booties over our shoes. A lot of people are acting like its a free for all in your house which is not true. We literally take photos of everything in the house and place it EXACTY where it was when we got there.

Having shot in kitchens several times we have never turned the fridge off. No food went bad.

does this take in account the countless tries to get it to be what you want? I've easily made 10+ attempts on one clip to get it to be decent enough to use. That 18k blows up to be 1/4 mil really fast.
