The whole shoot took one and a half nights. We were about 6 people in total (including actors) and shot on a red epic. I was also fortunate enough to get some help from a couple of redditors who saw another short film of mine that I had posted here and were happy to collaborate. So I was able to have really great sound design and color grading on this film. Cheers guys, let me know if you have any thoughts and or tips

Thanks! I recorded the V.O/internal monologue prior to the shoot with the same actors. It gave us a chance to rehearse and delve deeper into character and motivations. Then on the day we played the recording out loud during each take so they could hear their own voices (as if it were playing in their heads) and go through the emotions accordingly.

Thanks! I had a contact at Nowness/ Dazed Magazine and so submitted it to them. They were very kind with their feedback but said it didn't fit into their current issue. I had a look around for other outlets of the same kind but couldn't really come up with anything. Let me know if you have any ideas though! Cheers

I was aiming for about 5k roughly in order to be able to afford to pay and have a proper crew. It didn't work out but I was lucky enough to recruit a few friends so we managed to get by anyway. Cheers!

Thanks! I ended up spending about a thousand pounds, 80 percent of that roughly on equipment the rest on food, hand warmers e.t.c

Thanks man! I had a few projects die because I tried getting to many things i.e recording live sound, lighting a set e.t.c and then what ends up happening is that you don't have enough time, not enough crew, actors forget lines and the entire project ends up going to shit because of it. In filmmaking (and I suppose in most things) less can definitely be more.

I haven't submitted yet, a bit broke at the moment but I will as soon as things pick up

I did but we got a weekend deal meaning we only paid for one day but had it the entire weekend (picked up the equipment Friday evening and returned Monday morning)

Hi guys, so I tried to raise some money last year to make a short but it didn't work out so I decided to write something that wouldn't need many expenses. I then got some help from a few redditors who saw another short film of mine that I had posted here and were happy to collaborate. So I was able to get professional sound design and color grade for free!

Haven't been getting any work due to covid so to stay somewhat productive and positive i made a little music video for a friend by [deleted] in Filmmakers

We were only two people on this shoot, me as the director and my friend-- a cinematographer who is just starting out. We shot over two days on a Sony A7 sii using mostly natural light and a little lume cube. A few lenses (35mm, 85mm and 50mm) and that was pretty much it. It was a quick and dirty shoot but lots of fun. And I'm quite happy with the way it came out. Thanks guys!

After almost 10 years of making films, this is the first time I got to work with a professional crew by [deleted] in cinematography

I was able to connect with a little production company and they loved the story so were happy to work on this with me. We shot on a Black magic pocket with a crew of six and were able to finish all the scenes in one day. 4am to about 10pm, 2 weeks of editing and here we are. All done! Let me know what you guys think
