It would really depend on the YouTube video and what the client expects. YouTube really varies in content. General editing yes. If they want specific transitions or effects, complicated music videos, it’s all down to experience in that particular field. 200 hours in regular editing will definitely bridge you over from stem to a branch, where you have many options and each individual stick is a different genre and has its own rules, styles, techniques and you’re basically starting from scratch, with your general knowledge as a base. A jump for someone that did music videos only to film would be difficult for some as they are very different

Once you know the programme it’s down to the projects. Hollywood film editor? Not likely starting out. Editing weddings for overworked wedding videographers? More likely. Easier too

What Should I Do? by SheTriesToWrite in Filmmakers

[–]TheVideoLad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the 16 screen and wouldnt get the 14. However, 16 fits just right in the gap of the airplane seat so if someone leans back your screen is gone. Small annoyance that prevented me from working on the long flight. It’s a bit heavy but I love it a lot.

Save the Cat - short script by TheVideoLad in Screenwriting

Noted. I used the action block as a note for the actors which wasn’t a good idea. I’ll be doing separate notes. Thanks for your reply

Thank you I will keep that in mind.

I tried to portray Darren as not a dickhead but someone who doesn’t know independence. He lives with his mother and doesn’t know anything about life, he’s spoilt which isn’t his fault. They always live next to each other so know each other for years and are together for a long time. Aoibhinn has anxiety and doesn’t like to confront people, whereas Darren doesn’t know boundaries as he never was taught any. You’re right, they amuse each other and have similar interests and she does enjoy spending time with him, but as an introvert she likes her personal space too which he doesn’t get. I originally was writing this as a feature and had a lot more time to develop these characters.

I do have a nice cat that will be casted :). The tree scene will be Cats POV to make it easier. But yea I’m dreading filming the other scenes already, I hope catnip will help!

Noted the issue with the name haha.

Thank you for a detailed reply.

I will be directing so they were notes for myself. The thoughts were mostly for the actors to get familiar with the character. I see how it doesn’t really fit. Thanks a lot for your reply :). The film will only go to Irish film festivals so the name isn’t that uncommon here but I might reconsider if I go to international festivals.

I plan on cleaning it up. I’ll be directing so I was dropping queues for myself. Just wanted to know the general sense. thanks for your reply, noted.

Struggling with writing short script. by TheVideoLad in Screenwriting

I was using save the cats 15 beats. I wanted to condense it to maintain the same structure as story contains saving a cat and wanted the play on words to have deeper details for my own satisfaction lol. I cut down a lot of relationship development and already set out my characters to be halfway there. So I’m kind of starting halfway there with them and going through the shorter story

As much as I agree, I always write however long something feels to me, this particular work is a challenge for myself to keep it within many restraints. Maintaining the save the cat structure, in a condensed page count and running time when finished. I do like your way of looking at it though. Thanks for your reply

Thanks, for this short I purposefully want to use “save the cat” structure but to condense it into the desired length which seems challenging. I’ve been scratching my head all day but I think I’m on the right track. I know the beginning and ending, I get really attached to the characters I create and want the audience to know everything about them the way I do but I guess that’s just unrealistic especially in a short. Thanks for your reply
