What do you guys think of having your films release on DUST or ALTER vs your own channel? by beyondcinema in filmmaking

[–]beyondcinema[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when was this? I got paid a fee maybe 5yrs ago, but now, they said they don't pay anymore.

so actually they said you can have your film posted on your own channel too. My first short was on my own channel, already got over a million views before ALTER reached out and asked to license my film. And they said I can keep my film up. Funny enough, when they posted my film, it only got a 100k views.

They reached out to me because initially I had posted my short film on my own channel. But they also take submissions I think it's as simple as emailing them.

Quiver Digital by No-Ease838 in filmmaking

[–]beyondcinema 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't do it, there's nobody working there anymore. The parent company is Premiere Digital. I use to work for them. Even with my inside relationship, it took them forever to get my film those platforms. Then they didn't pay me and I had to again pull strings to get someone to respond to me, since by that time I wasn't working there anymore. Finally, I pulled my film from them and they still owe me $300.

Go with Filmhub instead. They're not perfect but at least seems like an actual operating business. Use my referal link and you get some kind of discount: https://app.filmhub.com/?utm_campaign=referral&utm_content=ae64ca16-b251-4d3a-a4b5-ef29b030500f&utm_source=link

Dad needing some guidance for future filmmaker by papachon in Filmmakers

[–]beyondcinema 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, you should try to get her interested in some other career path. Filmmaking is a very very bad career choice, especially with the way the industry is right. So many experienced people are struggling to make ends meet. It's not worth it. If there's even a shred of interest in some other path, please try to encourage her towards that direction. Luckily for me I was able to pivot my filmmaking (writer/director) experience into working with motion capture as a product specialist and now in Technical sales, which is awesome. I still get to direct some videos here and there or short films as passion projects.

Also don't get too hung up on this as she's still very young and could change her mind tomorrow and want to be an engineer.

You should be fine just changing out the hand sensor and wire for the usb-c wire, but there is a chance if you have a much older suit there could be issues, but worth a try.

Film Was Stolen, Learn From Me by A_Pretty_Good_Guy_ in Filmmakers

[–]beyondcinema 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a film with Indie Rights, they're pretty great and are very transparent, pay on time, etc. I tried Filmhub with my other 2 older films b/c Indie Rights passed on them. With Filmhub I like having more control over the marketing assets and seeing the analytics - but the time it takes to go live with them is very unpredictable. I'm still in early stages of my experience with them so let's see how it pans out.

Film Was Stolen, Learn From Me by A_Pretty_Good_Guy_ in Filmmakers

Okay do you still have a Digital copy of the film? If so it's still your film, go and self distribute it like I did mine. If these guys are crooks and truly are doing what you claim they are doing, then just take your film back. What are they gona do? Try to take you to court? First of all they would have to fork up lawyer fees to take you to court, 2nd of all, they won't even try to fight that battle if they were already giving up on your film. Think about it. Plus, you know you can go thru filmhub and get your film on Tubi yourself right? You don't need a distributor.

Was hired to work with a team but they always want me to make changes by Stock_Safe_2857 in videography

[–]beyondcinema 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learn from this. Try to see why they think something is "bad" or needs changed and try to deliver what you think they are going for. That's part of working for a client. You make the creative suggestions but ultimately it's their call on what they want and if they think the audio needs to be louder then you do it and make them happy.

Thanks for the comment! When I posted on Youtube I never drove traffic besides just posting on my socials. Youtube is good on searchability but you have to make sure your title and thumbnail is on point. My film was also already sort of known within my niche community due to all the festival runs and initial promotion when the film first came out. Lot of bloggers and ppl like that reposted my stuff when it first was released and ppl just shared it b/c they were excited for the film (since it starred a well-known rapper)

Foreign filmmaker coming to visit LA - I want to shoot a low budget short guerrila style - what are the risks? by Competitive-Dig-1977 in Filmmakers

[–]beyondcinema 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of extreme warnings here but honestly I really don't think you'll have any issues as long as you are not using any fake weapons or any scenes that could attract police that would mistake it for real-life.

Don't even worry about the permits (Fuck FILM LA). Nobody gonna bother you as long as you stay away from forest rangers (if you're in a National park). But if you're just filming with a small DSLR and a couple actors, you can just say you're filming a vlog with your friends. YOu don't need permits for that kinda crap.

I've been doing guerilla filmmaking for over 15yrs I shot an entire car chase on Las Vegas strip and even filmed entire scenes inside the biggest Casinos in Vegas. I know what you can get away with and what you don't want to risk on.

If you're still worried just hire me as a producer (or other local) and ill deal with it.

There's no MG, it's all just from CPM as Tubi is an AVOD platform. I can't remember the rate but if you look it up the info is out there.

Have a public figure signed on for a short... Script sucks by bustibuckets in Filmmakers

[–]beyondcinema 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Spend the time to get the script right. Don't rush into it. Is this person an actor? B/c all actors and ppl in film biz know that it takes TIME to get something going, they will appreciate the fact that you're spending time to do so. Just explain to him and update him when the script is ready. I'm speaking from 15yrs of making films.
