I'm struggling making a 5 minute short or I'm failing a year-long course. A fiction/passion project. I got all but the drive- had months and months to do it and now got 4 weeks, tops. Impressive how you're doing it, when the more I try to think about my simple thing, the more I freeze up and get anxious.
You will have to think a lot and make a lot of movements and controls yourself, but it is amazing. I think it came out well because I already had a great result in my head.
Opinion from a junior student thinking her path in life : Im always stress when people ask me what i want to be in life? And coming from a family full of IVY LEAGUE the pressure is stressful and i replied ill work in the film industry because i like it and idk i resonate with films. Many have told me to drop the ivy league dream if im doing movies and like the media industry as well IVY Leaugue is mostly about academics but i also came across debates that you dont need to go to film school. Well film school is just for connection i heard. Well nonetheless im still conflicted if i should go or pursue more opt career but nonetheless im still trying to make short film alone. Thanks this inspired me alot
Glad it was helpful! :) I carry a super cheap tripod with me around becasue it’s light so the one I’m using in this video was literally like 20-30 bucks on Amazon
You're the reason why i took digital film production additional course this semester , i also wanna create my own film and thanks for the inspiration, also to mention i have been your fan since you posted your first video or second i dont clearly remember but yes i still love your content a LOTTTTTT
startet crying at 3:10, the lines just kinda hit hard. Also I love the aesthetic of the film and the tutorial is really good! I´ll definitely try it out some time.
started watching ur channel yesterday thank u for the inspiration, I’ve always been weary about shooting music videos myself but these vids have inspired me, thank youuu!
thank you so much for this insight into your process! i'm planning to make a short film too in the near future but it is really scary if you've never done it before and especially if you have no budget and therefore have to do a lot by yourself. but seeing your straight forward aproach really makes it seem doable 🥰 and also: great video like always!
This video offers additional inspiration by showing that practice makes perfect. I've followed your work for a long time, you keep making cool videos, and they keep getting better. I'm looking forward to seeing how your skills continue to progress even further, because they're already very legit. Also, I teach high school digital media classes in Thailand, so it's cool to have someone my female students can relate to since I don't have many references for younger asian female filmmakers to show them.
Hi!!! Awww this made my day omg !! I come from south east asia as well and know that it is still not very much talked about in that area of the world, but you dont know how touching this is to know that you use my work to inspire the younger girls to make films. Really touches my heart :') Thank you for this comment as well as the compliments to my work.
You inspired me Megan! I love your passion and dedication in film making^^I also love your work and all the tutorials videos, it's so helpful! Keep going! 妳超棒的！繼續加油！然後謝謝妳☺
Damn ! This is priceless. What you are doing here is giving a motivation and an inspiration to future stars.. such a humble, kind , lovely person you are Meg ❤. Sending lots of love 💕
I just checked out 2 vids about ai replacing films and i really don't understand why would anyone want to replace THIS with ai. Btw, you're lucky to have friends like this,best of luck!! And also thanks for this video it gave me a sense of peace.
awww im glad this video could! I think in some aspects AI can be super helpful and in some aspects it can be damaging to us artists, but in this video it was such a lifesaver honestly
Step 1 acquire friends 🤣😂🤣🤣 no but seriously I've written a few shorts this year, wrote a feature I need to rewrite(started last year finished 1st draft February-ish), recently decided let me just join Fb groups. Once I went on a few sets i said man I need a group willing to let me produce my vision...reliable friends with equipment. Thats what the people whos set I visited had. None of my acquaintances are that into film or available to help out most of the time 🙃
heyyyy, megan :) I do admire your work, and identify myself and journey when watching your videos, in different contexts obviously. I’m a brazilian girl who found interest in art since childhood, but my point was not only a specific thing, i’d like to explore the power of expressing by many ways, that’s why i started by acting, then filming and signing. having in mind, before being anything, we’re creative people and can do whatever we want to. i wonder if we could work together in a project one day, and be friends :) hope you the best, you’re on the right way! xoxo - joana
Hi Joana! Thank you for this elaborate comment! I love the message you're telling cuz I totally get you, ever sicne i was a young girl, i did everything in the creative side of things. I used to sell handmade earrings for example in school, although everything is not related, it definitely taught me loads about my art and my craft! So keep doing what you're doing!
This was a nicely edited video but honestly I didn’t learn anything. No real techniques or tips on shooting alone. It was just “come up with an idea, storyboard, plan, shoot”. Ok, yeah that’s how it works…..
i had a similar critique, i wouldnt necessarily call this a tutorial because of that- it certainly could've worked as a behind the scenes video, but as a guide or how to, not so much
Thanks for the critique ! i think I wanan do another more in depth video as well cuz as you said it’s not very much with techniques. But I make my videos mostly for people who don’t even know where to start to film a short film so that’s why I chose to go to the very very basics. But yeah thanks so much anyways, always good to know ❤️
a little bit of a constructive criticism here: i think if you're going to do a video on shooting a short film alone, you need an actual short film you shot alone as the example. You were not even slightly alone in this process, you had someone help with the scripts, the shots, the voice acting, etc, pretty much the entire process. I don't think this is the best example to use to show aspiring filmmakers that you can shoot a short film alone, I'm sorry :( I have no doubt that you can, but this was not the example to use.
Hey Charlie, i totally understand, thanks for pointing out to me, you're right to a certain extent. If you do want to take a look at some of the short films I've shot by myself they are all on my youtube, all of my short films except for this one was shot by me but I'vr made content about those before and wanted to bring something new to the table, therefore using my latest short film. Neverthelss, you're right. Thanks so. much for the heads up, I'll definitely take this into account next time.(Btw most of the shots in this video were shot by me, only some like the handheld ones were by Lewis)
Watching this vid while being in a film major.... Tbh i just want my creatuve element back and being able to make projects for kyself first tgat arnt graded
hey! All the equipment I use is in this link, I'm sure you'll find soemthing for your own use and style as well! www.amazon.com/shop/megantan/list/2I94SFFUH53DK?ref_=aipsflist_aipsfmegantan
Right now I am creating a web-series and I'm going to be playing each and every character! LOL! So, I feel your pain. But, if Eddie Murphy can do it, so can I!!
i came back to your channel because my dad told me to make a advertisement for him and i was thinking of making it a film like ad about his construction company any ideas?

Wow, this is a pretty long ad.
Are there any cameras or lenses you recommend for your type of filmmaking?
(it doesn't have to be cheap) Btw love your video❤
hey! All the equipment I use is in this link, I'm sure you'll find soemthing for your own use and style as well! www.amazon.com/shop/megantan/list/2I94SFFUH53DK?ref_=aipsflist_aipsfmegantan
What if I use an i-phone instead of a camera? Will it be good to take shots?
Definitely! you can do so much with an iPhone
Right now I am creating a web-series and I'm going to be playing each and every character! LOL! So, I feel your pain.
But, if Eddie Murphy can do it, so can I!!
hahahah i love eddie murphy and love your outlook on this !
i came back to your channel because my dad told me to make a advertisement for him and i was thinking of making it a film like ad about his construction company any ideas?
What kind of construction does he do
