Spent the weekend shooting a short film, and even though I bit off more than I can chew, I'm still sat here thankful that I went for it and that I made the time and scheduled it out and took a shot a my first scripted short. I owe so much of my knowledge to you man. Appreciate you!

    Danny i’m so grateful for this video and your vision, art. Your experience is so inspiring and i’m in love with you as a filmmaker 🙏🏻 My whole life i’m telling myself i should become a graphic designer and a professional artist just because it’s “the only thing i do well”. No it’s not. I love making short videos, cinematic vlogs, i’ve been filming “aesthetic” video’s since grade 5th, i love filmmaking, colour grading, editing so much! Have i ever posted any of my projects? No. I was scared of people’s opinions, of “wasting” my time on projects that doesn’t help me make money, that are just silly projects that no one else but me might see. That’s so wrong and dumb! I don’t want to lose that spark and passion to make silly little projects, they are not meaningless at all! now i understand that life goes on and what i’m really wasting my time on is things i don’t want to do. Ever since i’ve watched documentaries for the first time i want to film my own documentary so bad. I’m finally ready and so excited to be open minded and create without any fear of being judged or wasting my time or energy on something useless. I still love graphic design and painting, but the passion i have for filmmaking is so strong, i have to at least give it a try🙏🏻💗 English is my 3rd language i hope anybody that reads this comment fully understands its message

    bro, what you saying is just real. i have this passion, that since i was kid i make little films, edits, evertything. But the worst thing is when you is forced to do something that you don´t want, and you don´t have the good results as the other projects. Im not saying that you have to leave what you do to live your dreams but you only can achieve creativity and originality doing, in every single aspect, what do you want.

    I'm in the concept/writing stage of writing a short film. I'm still trying to find the process of writing for me. I heard either Tarento, or the guy who wrote Social Network, or both, say something like writing the script is just 20% and thinking about the script is 80%. I'm trying to find an idea that sticks, that I can shoot with a realistic budget, and is my film. The film that wouldn't exist unless I made it. I'm at the point at my job where I need to remove my desire to make art, and focus on giving the client a marketing asset that works for their goal. That's my job. My passion, is film. And it's becoming more and more evident that I NEED to make a film or I will eventual begin to resent my job. Thanks for the inspiration Danny.

  • @rizzo-films
    @rizzo-films 8 місяців тому

    For me the hardest part of all is "find your people". I'm naturally introverted and coping with anxiety every day, just getting myself out there to meet people is honestly harder than anything I've ever done in filmmaking, and I've shot/directed/edited/motion graphixed two feature-length documentaries back-to-back. It is SO HARD for me to find my people, and I live in Chicago, where I'm pretty sure there are many solid filmmakers and creatives out there for me to meet. I don't know how to get over that and I think about it every single day. I go to networking events, film festivals, chat with people online, even invest in classes so I can meet like-minded people and learn a few things in the process. And still, it never EVER gets easier.

    Hey Danny. A good friend of mine sent me your channel. I'm a senior in college who works in video, I love the work I do but it's incredibly hard to get started on my own. I always feel like I piggy back off of others but I've realized that doesn't matter. I'm young and just ggetting started, I can't afford a nice camera and a gimbal but what I do have is incredible friends who want to help me out and create with them. I've defiantly made some stinkers in the past couple years but that happens, thats life. Today is a new day and what matters is that I try, no matter what.
    Thank you

    Now, i'm 38yo, and starting to think more about my life and of what i'm doing with it... Am I doing what I love?.. practicing my passions? I work as a archtecture 3d artist for 16 years and i always thougt that it was my passion.. and it is.. also.. but in this point of my life i find my self thinking about it and i just realized that it is more of my money fount than my real passion.. now i want so badly to create more, create something with my visons and stuff.. u know.. the problem is everything you said in the begining of you're video.. specially time.. i work about 12hrs a day.. and when a have real free time, i want to give my wife attention or just rest a bit... i wish i could do more photography and cinematography because i realized that is what makes me hole. I just can't find the time and energy to do so.. for instance, i have a bunch of shots from my france travel and i just can't start editing.. i know there are a lot of excuses to do in our heads too.. because when we really want something, we make time..make it real.. i've been there when i was starting my 3d carreer so many years ago.. maibe i've became lazy? anyway... that was just another rant... i just wanted to put it out.. lolol.. Congrats dude.. you are a really nice guy and have so much talent!

    I have a passion project I keep on the back burner... I have a few dreams too. One of my biggest hurdles is that I'm not a writer or a director. The hurdle is finding collaborators and I've been workin on that but I could do more. I'm making some of the best and most fun client work because I finally started reaching out to people with talent that matches mine but in a different lane. I'm almost fully scratching that passion side by lucking out with creators that want to make rad stuff and pay me to do it. I should probably watch this video a few more times, I really need that fire lit under me to make my own projects a priority - and that extends beyond filmmaking... I've been telling myself for too long that I'd record another professional EP. I need to make music, I need to make art.

    Hey Danny, congratulations on the work. I followed the entire "I Think I'm Sick" BTS and learned a lot from your production. Would you make a video about how you organized the entire film production using Milanote? Schedules, shotlists, optimization of production days, etc. I feel that the lack of organization in some stages may be holding me back and your workflow seems to be quite correct for this project.
