Francis Ford Coppola is no stranger to shoestring budget movies. Gis lasg several films hace been super low budget independent movies despite him having 5 Oscars. He's a boss. The Conversation is one of my favorite movies of all time.
I feel this about UA-cam and influencers in general- theres a lot of unhealthy culture among UA-camrs that comes from this being their livelihood, that they have to clickbait and play the algorithm to make a living, but people will always make content even if they're not paid. It will be crap, but they'll make it.

You can edit and license music for very little, the only hard costs are a good sound rig, never underestimate your sound, it’s more important than your image quality, and if you want to shoot at night, or match scenes, a good lighting rig is another potential cost. Don’t forget the backbone of all great movies. Great scripts!! ✍🏻

Mostly because they were making movies in their backyard with home video cameras before they were 10. They didn't need film school, they were getting the experience first-hand AND...they knew they wanted to do it for a living from that age. The best musicians do the same thing: Q-Tip, Taylor Swift, Prince, etc. they ALL knew they wanted to be professional musicians before they had pubes.
Passion towards films made them like that….u take any field of you are passionate about it then definetly you can achieve something big one day in that field…..because you love it so you don’t feel it stressed unlike jobs and you do it happily you learn a lot and later going up on you become big
Spielberg went to film school, Scorsese went to film school. Plenty of successful filmmakers went to school for film or something else. Don't talk bad about film school when there's way more people not going to film school and having no success because their shit sucks.
making movies doesnt really have much to do with the person, but who the person knows. thats why you see so many awful movies come out nowadays, because only the elite are allowed any heirarchy in hollywood
I really wanna see all of them create something with an iPhone just out of curiosity. I think Sean Baker and Takashi Mike both did a great job shooting projects on iPhones.
It's all about skill. You can have a crappy camera, crapy equipment and the audience can forgive that aslong as the story is good and there is clearly a level of expertise that went into shooting the film. The opposite can also be said. You can have an amazing camera, amazing equipment but the audience wont appreciate that if your story is crappy and your not clearly not experienced. And, when I say experience, I mean in terms of actually shooting the film (cinematography), and editing the film (such as pacing and overall theme building, etc).
Yeah, but also accept that no one is going to pay you a single penny for that movie after you've killed yourself making it. If you're fully aware of that and still want to make a film then you're meant to be a filmmaker.
Having an attitude like that just means that you really don’t believe in your own taste and your own values. Like Tarantino said if you genuinely do love movies and you become obsessed it’s kind of impossible to suck at it.
Thats why i like directors/videographers. Hey look that teeny tiny 2mpixel camera can make vids, lets goooooo... Photographers: NO! You need 35mm with an 0.01 aperture lens, nothing is good without boke
I used to wait till dad went to work, grab that giant VCR camcorder and we’d run around blowing s-t up with firecrackers all day. I stopped making movies when i got caught up in all the techno crap. That’s where i went wrong.
@Snarkcom *Nah, everything you need you can do it in your phone nowadays, and for the payment of you're actors are committed you can pay them with revenue, even Sodenbergh filmed a movie with an IPhone*
I thought that the iPhone and GoPro would usher in this era of innovative self/taught filmmaking but instead it just created little studios for youtubers and twitch streamers to use. The problem was probably always the script or lack thereof.
Can't the same said about people who went to film school? There is no guarantee that going to film school will make you a great filmmaker. The only thing that matters is your talent, passion and perseverance.
@@guyincognito8440 This guy doesn't "get" anything. He impresses himself by saying buzzy phrases like "survivorship bias" after reading it somewhere. Are these guys survivors? Absolutely. So is everyone in the NBA. You have to SURVIVE to do anything at all. So, yeah, you've got access to all the tools you need, but if you aren't any good (and most people won't be), you will not survive.
It is funny to see that these filmmaker are just pushing you to start with your phone, while some new filmmakers are saying the idea of shooting with a phone is useless.
David Fincher wouldn't even take his own advice. If he dared to shoot something on an iPad, he'd spend $100,000 on the editing software to put all the VFX elements in the footage that weren't there on location.
We’re in a time where filmmaking has never been so democratized, yet the distribution has become more consolidated by big budget studios. So technically anyone can make a movie, but most people only know about the MCU and similar IPs.
Literally none of these guys had that. Scorsese was born to working class immigrant parents, Spielberg has working parents that also got divorced part way through his life, Fincher had to work for years as a PA before writing to get his break. Many other famous directors also did not have any financial help as they climbed up the ladder. Stop whining and do something with your life or take responsibility for why you don't have what they have.
@@logantotman I think Spielberg’s dad, who was a computer pioneer in the early sixties, was a little more than a “working parent.” Same with Christopher Nolan, whose father was an advertising executive. Scorsese went to a private Catholic high school for boys in NYC. They all to some degree were born with golden spoons in their mouths. Not really whining about anything either just pointing out how cock it is to generally say “if you want to make movies like I do, you have a camera on your iphone go make yourself a movie” when the person saying that has had their parents financially support their every single wish tenfold.
I understood it as something akin to what's happening in video games -- when the production costs $100 million, you can't take the same risks as when it costs $100. With investments so large, you need professionals and managers. When it's a person's hobby or craft or passion, they will risk more and try things that would otherwise be turned down in a focus group or committee. For some things, that's honestly good -- I don't want the bridges in our city made by a renegade maverick taking chances. But for media, it can corporatize and homogenize things too much.
These days we have Cameras up to our armpits! There is no excuse for kids not to make movies, I helped my brother make movies as a kid (he wanted to be a director), he used my camera that my mum bought me for my photography, it was not a proper movie camera but we use what we had at the time, kids have lots of camera choices now, my smart phone is better than my old camera.
They want to think this is true, that anyone with the talent and the drive will make it - then they don't have to feel guilty about not helping anyone out. You can have talent out the ass, all the ambition and drive in the world, you can want it as much as it's possible to want it, but still not succeed. How many movies can actually be made? Not many. And, sure, the camera isn't much - what about sound? What about special effects? I wonder how long Spielberg would have kept making movies when he couldn't afford to make them on no money. How much did Jaws cost? Close Encounters? Indiana Jones? Good luck making those with a borrowed Super 8 and no money! Bullshit. ....And I'm not an aspiring filmmaker, but this applies to all walks of life.
Scorsese had working class immigrant parents, Spielberg didn't have any "money" until his father became successful in his teens and his father never supported his movies because he didn't think they were a real job. An 8mm camera in the 60s wasn't that much if they saved up and it doesn't give anyone now an excuse. Take responsibility for your own failures.
People on UA-cam, TikTok and Found Footage films use phones and basic camcorders all the time and they turn out to be pretty successful. Also just gonna point it out we have to because we don't have cash flow like Spielberg, Depalma, and Nolan had at the time. They came from money.
Did they tho? Christopher Nolan had no budget for first film paying for everything through his full time job also making it hard for him to film only being able to film once a week which took him 2 years to finish the film
Unfortunately what they're saying is far from being true. You have a phone, alright, but what about sound? Lighting? Production design? Actors? The thing is, the barrier for entry now is much higher than when these guys were young, precisely because everyone has a phone now. When you watch the short films that allowed some directors to enter Hollywood back in the day of film, the quality of these shorts wouldn't even allow them to enter the average film festival of today. One one hand it's a positive, because it forces us to become better, but on the other it reinforces nepotism and filters too many people who may have the right ideas but not the right means. So while I do believe that making movies even just on a phone is always a good place to start, it unfortunately won't suffice in 99% of cases. That's the hard cold truth.
Fucking what? Scorsese was born to two working class immigrant parents. Spielberg wasn't too far off as his father's ventures didn't make their family much money until his teenage years and his father didn't support his filmmaking so he never got any money from it. David Fincher worked as a PA for films for a while before slowly working up the latter, not born to rich parents. Coppola I don't know but I know he also did not get opportunities right away and in fact, was kinda put in "directors jail" before The Godfather. Nolan I also don't know his financial background but his first film was made for basically nothing. Tarantino worked at a video store for his 20s because he didn't have enough money and had to focus on writing. Stop with your whining when you could just actually have talent and work hard to get what you want. Take responsibility for your own failures.
Problem is... somehow you need to pay your bills, the rent for your room and the food in your fridge. And I kind of think, that it's not that easy to get paid for making movies, unless you reached a certain level of profession. No matter how artsy your stuff is, we live in endstate capitalism with inflation right now. There never was a easier time since 1920, to end up under a bridge.
Note to self: borrow your dad’s 8mm camera.
