Hey i am a filmmaker , i make movies , i struggle with everything sound,visuals ,cast but i don’t give up i spend every penny of mine on making films but last night i thought i should quit but you gave me a hope by posting this video you just made me cry , you know what i won’t quit this is the only thing i’ve got ,it runs in my blood it belongs to me more than anything ❤️✌🏻 all the best for every filmmaker who is struggling with it
Great inspiration, indeed! I didn't have any money to make a movie, so I got with my friends and we decided to make a movie from a script I wrote many years ago. We filmed on a mirrorless camera, and we filmed every week or when we could. it took us three years, (my dad took a bad fall injuring his head, I had to stop for a while) but we finished it in 2019. I submitted it to film festivals and it ended up winning 36 awards, including Best Indie Film, Best Screenplay, and Best Editing in several film festivals from 2019-2020. We now have tools in the palm of our hands to make a movie. Use them and make your movie! Your time to shine is when you yourself make it happen.
We just made a short film today To celebrate, I (the director) have chosen to watch this video, for like the 10th time It is simply stunningly beautiful
bro that ending hits different. God bless you, I needed this, presently going thru hard times with my career but you just gave me hope and shed light into what was dark for me. Thank You
Much thanks for this inspirational video for filmmakers... I was a student filmmaker at an age way too old to be a student filmmaker but I basically got to go to film school for a few years for free which I'm grateful to God for even though I never actually graduated... since then I earned an MA in educational multimedia... but my passion continues to be creating science fiction films, and or sci-fi screenplays... I did create a few bargain budget shorts and student films with sci-fi themes during those five to seven years... but I think it's an artistic desire and plan in your mind that often just never leaves you and pushes you to go out there and try again... once again thank you for your video it was inspirational, even the Sci-Fi advice from Ed Wood!!
I am inspired to tell my story. You had me from the beginning to end. That I have peripheral knowledge of the subject made your piece even more fun to watch.
I've started film direction in a public institute in Athens Greece and from the first minute all our teachers talked about all this stuff you talk about in this video. Thank you, τhank you, thank you, so much for this. I will share it with my teachers and my fellow classmates.
Fantastic video - great choice of film clips - and it's all true! We have it waaaay better now than when I first wanted to start making movies back in the early 1980s. Video? Super 8 film? no. 16mm? With an inexpensive non reflex Bolex perhaps, but how to edit? Work prints? How to get 35mm blow ups? Sound? Where to show your work and to whom? Heck even: whom to talk to? Soooo much easier now. Looking forward to y'alls upcoming projects! Thanks, as always, for doing this. Very inspiring!
I agree. I wanted to make movies since I was a kid in the late 70's. Got my first Super 8 camera in 1985. Couldn't find a good way to edit the film. A real pain, so I didn't do much until I started to get serious in 1989-90 and started shooting in 16mm (still haven't shot anything on 35mm, but I still hold onto that 'dream' strangely enough). Again, editing was expensive and I usually had to rent editing equipment (both film and video). To me, the real filmmaking revolution isn't really in the cameras, it's in the post production that we now have at our fingertips. Shooting wasn't necessarily a problem for me in the film days. It was the editing/post production that slowed me down or stopped me completely. I had footage sitting around unedited for well over 10 years until I was able to get my hands on Premiere Pro back in the mid-2000's. I now use Davinci Resolve which is FREE. Crazy. We got it great now. Where was this stuff when I was a kid?
@@DyenamicFilms exactly. The problem wasn't so much capturing/recording the images. It was editing, adding titles/effects, sync sound and of course copying it onto media (be it film prints or video tape). If you are not too picky regarding getting that silky film look (which I am), you can shoot with a used DSLR or similar, edit it on a decent computer and post it. For me it was never about being sucessful, it was the necessity to create. I became a musician and I made some nifty stuff over the decades. Now I'm part of the film community. We help each other to overcome the remaining obstacles.
Your comment on a "great film" at 10:11 - YES, 1000x THANK YOU! I have had this argument with friends, family and strangers for decades. I have one of those odd minds that picks up things like little details, I can't help it, and it can completely pull me out from a film I was engrossed by. A great film keeps you in the moment. A great film can be soul changing and that, in my opinion, is the pinnacle for all art.
Nowhere I thought, I would shed tears, while watching this video, literally as you exactly say at 9:13. Precise mental exercise. It could be probably due to the mention of "producers controlling your films" in the lines before. Thanks!
Oh...this is certainly the most common things one's life goes through while making a film. Thanks for the little clip ( from India ). It's truly a dilema for a person ( director ) to go out and tell the story visually to the audience ( who make or break a film ).
5:35 hahaha omg, I spit my coffee all over my laptop! The comment about actors was hilarious! I don’t work in the film industry, but I relate. There’s always one group of people your training can’t prepare you for. 😂😂😂
Beautiful! Btw, when I see those snippets of dialogue from different films, pertaining to the video, I'm always stoked at how much time is necessary to find the appropriate ones. Thank you!🍀
My freshman year of HS is my most favorite moment. I made a really really bad 15 min short film (imo it was bad) BUT. Its the expeirence that helped me learn what Directing feels like. Our district didn't have a A/V program so I made my own experience. I held meetings with principals and gathered teachers to help chaperon the sets. I met with the superintendent "rented" the school out for 3 Saturdays of the year. I searched for actors, crew members, make up artist, costume design, music choice. I SEARCHED FOR IT ALL. We even held after school practices and line reads. I still have the BTS to this day and its fascinating to see how everyone I found took their role so seriously, how we all got together to make one vision happen. Those 3 Saturday were the MOST stressful... but somehow it was just so satisfying. YOU ARE the filmmaking industry. YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN when you are the Director. Man I need to experience this again. The video really did inspire me.
I'd love to see the film you made. I'm non-critical -- after reading the above I'd just like to see the result. Could you post it and a link to the post here as an answer/comment? If so, thanks! If not, thanks for the above video. Cheers!
I am watching your video with great pleasure again - this is a piece of art that can revive my drive, light in some cases an extinguished candle and start my life engine, launch my ship into space into the "My Dream" orbit. A year ago I wrote my comment here, although I rarely do it. It was a difficult time for my family... My husband died of lung and brain cancer at home in July 2022. The diagnosis was made in 2014, after which we experienced an extremely hard period of endless hospitalizations, doctors and unavoidable waiting for his "departure". We lived together for 25 years and we have 8 beloved children. The Cinema has always given me strength and energy, saved me in the minutes of anguish and sadness and inspired me in the moments of happiness, joy and peace. It has always lived, beaten in my heart and flown in my blood. Infected with the virus of the film industry during my 7-year work in television and film, I spent all my little available time in the cinemas, sometimes taking my kids with me. I have learned to edit, taken various courses in video and sound editing, and graphic design, master classes in famous cinema and documentary film directors. I am still working on my skills as much as possible. And the most important: I love the camera!!! And I meticulously keep the habit of capturing and fixing, saving the moments of our life. This is my love, my passion and my life. It has been almost a year since my husband died. I returned to my dream of making the movie I had been working on for 27 years. I'm currently writing my own script. I want to thank all of you again for your work on this channel. I'm looking forwards to your videos!!! Regards, Anastassia Yehudith Michaeli
Many times we think we need the best equipment to do the job. It is not true. That's just an excuse to get started. You work with what you have and the results are often amazing.

Good luck Bro💪🍀🧿👑🔥
Hope to see your movie in the next two years
Inner struggles brings depth, which is what you need to be able to deliver depth.

Truth! Now is the best time to start making movies! We have all the possibilities, the main thing is to use them!

What is the name of that movie?
Thank you for this.
Thank you so much for this. You don't know how much this helped and inspired me to go for it as a beginner!
This was so inspiring and encouraging thank you!!!
Incredible editing!
I love Dolemite and Bowfinger. Thanks for this wolfcrow.
Nowhere I thought, I would shed tears, while watching this video, literally as you exactly say at 9:13. Precise mental exercise. It could be probably due to the mention of "producers controlling your films" in the lines before. Thanks!
This helped me a lot. Thank you so much sir. I’ll keep writing my script
I really love your videos!
the climax of the video.. so inspiring after all what was there before... motivated...
Love this channel!
Oh...this is certainly the most common things one's life goes through while making a film. Thanks for the little clip ( from India ). It's truly a dilema for a person ( director ) to go out and tell the story visually to the audience ( who make or break a film ).
THANK YOU MAN🙏

Amazing video. Forget about all the limitations. Just go out there and tell your story! Thank you wolfcrow
