The fact that you never stopped making shorts after entering the industry, and better yet, put them straight to UA-cam with no intentions, not a proof of concept, not a flashy "look at the actor I got in this thing", just for fun with your wife and to entertain, is amazing. Best of all, you make a BTS, further shedding any ego, Bravo David, can't wait to see your next Stressful feature and fun short!😉
"I just wanted to feel some joy in filming. I needed that." And you deserve it, man. I can't imagine Shazam 2 was an easy shoot, and then the shake-up threw a molotov cocktail into the already monkey-wrenched works. Looking forward to what you take on next!
Lotta's acting skills are fabulous. I'm buying every scenario her character is in! She's so good! Paired with your incredible instincts & visions for directing and storytelling David ... you two are a match made in cinema heaven!
I'm working late alone at the office and dropped everything to watch this when that notification popped up. I really appreciate how every making-of video contains a unique set of challenges that you had to deal with. The insight and creative inspiration I get from your videos is invaluable, so just wanted to say thank you David and Lotta! Any good ideas brewing yet for a Super 8 horror short?
@@ponysmasher Thanks, David! I'm also curious, was Lotta always on board with being on camera? I've been trying to recruit my own wife into being in a spooky short with no luck lol
That is such a lesson for new filmmakers. Amateur filmmakers want to do everything the "professional" way, and spend months working on something. A professional filmmaker like you, wants to just make stuff. Thanks for the video!
Awww thank you David! Watching Cam Closer II ... feels just like the good old days when I first discovered your channel and fell in love with it! Thank you for keeping on making your short films with Lotta and for making these BTS videos as well. They always inspire me as a filmmaker and brighten my days!
Man, I've been a fan of you and Lotta ever since I saw the original Lights Out film before the Hollywood version released! So awesome to see how far you guys have come. It's great that you still care about your UA-cam channel and post BTS videos for everybody to learn from.
We are pumped to see you posting on youtube. We learned to make short films from your videos. We wouldn't be making short films had it not been for your how-to videos. So thank you.
My first thought when seeing Cam Closer II was "Awesome, that means we'll get a BTS!". I know nothing about making movies, but I always find these very interesting! Thanks!
I really like one day to see this short film make on mini-DV that your done when you was young, you use the moment when the hand is cut in many diferents videos, really like to see it. Good video
It's so awesome, that you still do this, and even more, that you make these behind the scenes vids. It's really inspiring and really makes me wanna do more shorts myself 🤩
"What do you do for a living?" "I'm a successful Hollywood film director." "Cool! What do you do in your time off?" "I'm a successful amateur film director." I love him. And, can somebody please give Lotta an Oscar, for God's sake? Long overdue! :)
Awesome to see you still making short films. It's so true that sometimes you just gotta not worry too much about the details and just make something for fun
David, for all the amazing things you've taught us about filmmaking over the years, this one really hit me the hardest: "Sometimes it's nice not to worry too much about the details and just have some fun making a movie." It's so easy to get bogged down in the pursuit of "perfection" we lose sight of why we started making movies in the first place. And the worst part is, it happens so slowly we don't even realize it's happening. At least that's what happened to me... until I saw this. Thank you for reminding me (and all of us) what really matters. Side Note: You've put everything you have into your art, and your story is motivation to an uncountable amount of aspiring filmmakers throughout the world, like myself. We see you as our filmmaking idol, but none of us can comprehend the pressures that come with The Big Leagues. Glad you found an outlet back to your "Happy Place," you (and Lotta!) deserve it.
I LOVE YOU DAVID (AND LOTTA)! ❤ Your behind-the-scenes videos are the best, and I don't think you know how much we (your fans) love watching them. Thank you for sticking around on UA-cam David!
Please forgive the honesty, but I like your UA-cam videos and how you talk about their production more than your high-budget movies. You can feel in them that wonderful sincerity and love for the very process of making a film, which in blockbusters is so milled by the gigantic money that someone has spent and that someone expects from the production. Thanks for these vlogs. They are really great!
That was a lot more complicated then what i had thought, but its great to see that you dont need a team to make something if you just know what you are doing.
I love the old footage of your early VFX tests. Brings me back to high school and the early days of After Effects and mini dv for me. Keep up the fantastic stuff!
From Madrid, thank you very much for sharing your work, this short film has given me two big scares, I have learned a lot. I was looking forward to seeing this making of. You are a great couple, a big hug for both of you. Postscript: the plane of the flowers, seeing it repeated is very funny from one day to the next.
So glad you've kept doing these shorts and giving us the behind the scenes. With blu rays providing less and less bts and making of docs these videos are so important to aspiring filmmakers
"Have some fun making a movie" and "enjoy the process". Love it!😊 Sometimes we are so focused on delivering the best possible film and on all the details (cinematography, ligthing, editing, etc.) that we forget to enjoy the precious and fun moments on set. Also remember why you do it: because you love filmmaking! ❤
For me the best part of the entire BTS was you and Lotta recording sound in your closet. Amazing spirit and passion from the hollywood director. David, you're a true inspiration in my filmmaking career.
Your videos are always super helpful and useful! You say you're trying to be a UA-camr but for me you are already one of the best in this site haha! Keep on with the good work!
"Sometimes, it's nice to not worry too much about the details, and just have some fun making a movie". - Truer words have never been spoken. Always follow your passion, from moment to moment, to the best of your conscious ability without expectation of any particular outcome.
The pre-recorded video with the sound cues is a really good idea! You could get those tiny gel pads that you use to stop cabinet doors banging and put one on the end of your thumb or your finger, that way the screen doesn't register your touch when you press it.
I am a HUGE fan of "campfire stories", i.e., short, creepy tales that could be told at a campfire with minimal effort but maximum effect. While I *do* love longer scary films and novels, there's just something about the economy of telling a full story in a short amount of time that increases it's power tenfold. I found your channel completely at random years ago while I was searching for horror shorts, nothing longer than 8 minutes long, and the first one I watched (I thought!) was "Attic Panic" and I was SO impressed by it, I subbed to you before even checking out your actual channel. When I did, I realized I'd recognized Lotta from "Lights Out" and that I'd actually already been enjoying your work! The art of making a short and effective horror film doesn't seem to be as respected as making a full-length feature and that's a tragedy - it takes MUCH more imagination and creativity to make a terrifying 3-minute film than a 3-hour one, if you ask me! Thanks for doing what you love and making the best work you can that's inspiring a new generation of do-it-yourself filmmakers, that's beautiful. 😊 Also, I have to ask - do either of you ever get creeped out or have bad dreams from filming these spooky shorts in your own home?! I wouldn't be able to look at my stairs the same way EVER again!! 🤣😂
You're so real for this. I don't use tripods if I can avoid it because I want to be able to move the camera freely if I suddenly change my mind without having to redo the whole setup
Thank you David. I’ve been struggling lately getting back into filmmaking. I really appreciate your words about needing to experience enjoyable filmmaking without all the stress and pressure. The reason I got into filmmaking was just to have fun, and lately it has been feeling like a chore. Thank you for reminding me that it can be fun, and you need to give yourself permission sometimes to just let it be that :)
Thank you. Thank you for the new short film, and thank you for "the making of". You have no idea how excited I was (and thousand more like me) to see a new horror short from you. It fed my horror loving, film loving soul. Your shorts are really the best of the best. Fun, and scary. I can't wait to see what you do next. Make it something you love - because as we say in Newfoundland Canada, "it's the best kind, luv"
Sir, I've been following your channel for years and I'm super happy for you and your success! I feel like I can live out my film maker dreams through you. Please keep up the good work and keep those shorts coming!
I barely understand anything about camera equipment. Funny thing is that there was a RedLetterMedia video the other day and one of the movies being reviewed on it was basically a bunch of kids trying to make their own Evil Dead movie, and everyone commented on the joy of film-making when you don't have any money and experience, but a whole lot of enthusiasm. So this video reminded me of that, where instead of going for the best possible camera at hand (I presume), one wanted to use an older camera to capture some of that movie making spirit.
Thank you for doing what you do. Even though you've made it to Hollywood, you continue to create these low budget shorts and share your process. Videos like these are so incredibly helpful and they motivate me even more to make films. Thank you David!
This emulates how I feel bout making films right now. I´ve found a big passion for audio for both film and music and realized thats my goal. But ever since I started working with film it felt more of a chore and not like something fun. Remember how I felt when I was younger and making movies was like playing with your friends and having fun and now it's an obligation. Wanna feel the spark again.
It's great to see you guys back to making these little short films again - it's always a pleasure seeing these, and I was just wondering the other day whatever happened to these, and whether we'd ever see any new ones!
your horror shorts inspired me to make my own horror short in my office complex this weekend everyone says it looks and feel like a haunted house lol Honestly we are so lucky to have someone on this platform sharing this wonderful knowledge about low and high budget filmmaking!!!!
Will watch this tomorrow. I'm too tired now (it's 1:38 am over here). Love your videos. Keep smashing ponys! Edit: ended up watching it now anyways. Great as always!
I don’t know how to word this professionally other then I really absolutely LOVE and even more APPRECIATE these videos you put out. I find then very informative but also very inspirational. As technical as this may be. I don’t know what you’re thoughts are. But you mean a lot to an aspiring filmmaker like me. I just created an LLC. For my latest feature film I’m wanting to make and am trekking down waters I’ve never been. And it’s your knowledge your honesty, from creating $0 dollar short films to $100 million dollar blockbusters. And the fact that you’ve kept your honesty! I wish I could pick your brain for more but for the mean time I just wanted to say thank you 🙏🏻
I hear you. I did a video with my dog. Just got to play with the cameras I have and try a bunch of different things. All in all just had fun making a film. I am apart of different groups and all I hear is everyone just asking questions about everything they do. Just get out a create. Do it for the fun of it. Loved the video. Keep making them and I will keep watching. Thanks William
I appreciated the handheld work on this. Definitely felt fresh, and I understand what you mean by film-making being too technical sometimes. I just bought the Pocket 6k and can't wait to use it, but honestly when I first watched your short I wasn't even thinking about the image quality. I was immediately into it and rooting for Lotta (even though you know she's doomed every time).
Great BTS. My feeling for UA-cam short films is the same way, especially with wearing so many hats is to make things easy and not over stress in pre production or post production. It ain’t a Hollywood/Netflix/commercial production etc. Just go out with your friends bring whatever camera, props you have, shoot, edit and post. It’s all about creating good memories anyways, regardless if it’s good or bad. You can look back when you’re older and smile about.
I love these "how I shot it" videos! I've always wanted to shoot a movie, but I ended up working in TV. Your vids are inspiring to keep pushing forward!
I adore your channel and your openness between the love of filmmaking versus the technicality of being a director as your job. I have a similar thing where I've made some films and now have a solid day job in a very boring kind of video production, so I find myself getting together with friends and just doing sketches on the weekend with little planning, purely for the fun of why I got into it in the first place.
The fact that you never stopped making shorts after entering the industry, and better yet, put them straight to UA-cam with no intentions, not a proof of concept, not a flashy "look at the actor I got in this thing", just for fun with your wife and to entertain, is amazing. Best of all, you make a BTS, further shedding any ego, Bravo David, can't wait to see your next Stressful feature and fun short!😉
I find that the short horror films with recognizable actors tend to be bland. Horror doesn't require name-brand on screen talent anyway!

It's probably karma for his bad take on The Lighthouse
@@balabanasiretiThat’s a long time to stay salty, brother.
Lotta's acting skills are fabulous. I'm buying every scenario her character is in! She's so good! Paired with your incredible instincts & visions for directing and storytelling David ... you two are a match made in cinema heaven!
Thank you Sarah!
@@lottalosten - Thank YOU Lotta! You are such a creative artist and have so much talent. We're all quite lucky to be on the receiving end of it all.
I'm working late alone at the office and dropped everything to watch this when that notification popped up. I really appreciate how every making-of video contains a unique set of challenges that you had to deal with.
The insight and creative inspiration I get from your videos is invaluable, so just wanted to say thank you David and Lotta!
Any good ideas brewing yet for a Super 8 horror short?
Yeah we have a couple ideas. But we’ll see what happens.
@@ponysmasher Thanks, David! I'm also curious, was Lotta always on board with being on camera? I've been trying to recruit my own wife into being in a spooky short with no luck lol
@@bertsy She's an actress, so probably. Try your wife on something she would see as fun. Work up to horror later.
I should be working on a clients Title Sequence animation ... I feel guilty. LOL
Love these BTS videos David. Always explained really well. Been an avid fan for years, and they always help sharpen my skills. THANKS!
That is such a lesson for new filmmakers.
Amateur filmmakers want to do everything the "professional" way, and spend months working on something.
A professional filmmaker like you, wants to just make stuff.
Thanks for the video!
Awww thank you David! Watching Cam Closer II ... feels just like the good old days when I first discovered your channel and fell in love with it! Thank you for keeping on making your short films with Lotta and for making these BTS videos as well. They always inspire me as a filmmaker and brighten my days!
Truly appreciate you sharing this. You and Lotta are an inspiration. Hope all is well in your world.
Man, I've been a fan of you and Lotta ever since I saw the original Lights Out film before the Hollywood version released! So awesome to see how far you guys have come. It's great that you still care about your UA-cam channel and post BTS videos for everybody to learn from.
That joy when you're making a movie is so crucial. thanks for making this David!
I’ll never take for granted the fact that you literally walk off feature film sets and then make videos just for us.
I really appreciate what you said about not stressing about the details and just having fun making a movie; that's a good reminder to have!
Discovering this channel was a blessing! Loved the short horror movies and how you made them.
Apart from all the filmmaking greatness, I just wanted to say that I love the interior design of your place :)
We are pumped to see you posting on youtube. We learned to make short films from your videos. We wouldn't be making short films had it not been for your how-to videos. So thank you.
You are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your journey and insights.
Glad to see you healthy and in your comfort
A truly and genuine filmmaker!
Love your sentiment at the end! Glad you had fun making it!
My first thought when seeing Cam Closer II was "Awesome, that means we'll get a BTS!". I know nothing about making movies, but I always find these very interesting! Thanks!
I really like one day to see this short film make on mini-DV that your done when you was young, you use the moment when the hand is cut in many diferents videos, really like to see it. Good video
The reason I re-use it is because you only see my face and I’m too lazy to check with people if they’re ok with being in a UA-cam video.
It's so awesome, that you still do this, and even more, that you make these behind the scenes vids. It's really inspiring and really makes me wanna do more shorts myself 🤩
"What do you do for a living?"
"I'm a successful Hollywood film director."
"Cool! What do you do in your time off?"
"I'm a successful amateur film director."
I love him. And, can somebody please give Lotta an Oscar, for God's sake? Long overdue! :)
Awesome to see you still making short films. It's so true that sometimes you just gotta not worry too much about the details and just make something for fun
So many great ideas in this! I think CC II is my favorite of your shorts!
So happy that you're making youtube videos again!
I absolutely love this. Never change.
Was waiting for this the second the short dropped. Never stop, David!
Love it and your reasoning behind making it. Just having fun. Trying to remember that myself.
So hype to watch this. Was on set when you posted it and had to stop working to watch. Love ya dude.
David, for all the amazing things you've taught us about filmmaking over the years, this one really hit me the hardest: "Sometimes it's nice not to worry too much about the details and just have some fun making a movie."

Your behind-the-scenes videos are the best, and I don't think you know how much we (your fans) love watching them.
Thank you for sticking around on UA-cam David!
Super 8 has so much texture and feel.
You are one of my cinema teachers, thank you for these videos, I always enjoy them
The Hollywood director for the people ❤
I'll never make movies but I love learning about how to from you!
Please forgive the honesty, but I like your UA-cam videos and how you talk about their production more than your high-budget movies.
You can feel in them that wonderful sincerity and love for the very process of making a film, which in blockbusters is so milled by the gigantic money that someone has spent and that someone expects from the production.

That was a lot more complicated then what i had thought, but its great to see that you dont need a team to make something if you just know what you are doing.
I love the old footage of your early VFX tests. Brings me back to high school and the early days of After Effects and mini dv for me. Keep up the fantastic stuff!
Thanks alot for continuing to inspire us little guys! Much love to you!
that train shot was insane!
Love your content! What an amazing guy. Hollywood and this man still uploads
From Madrid, thank you very much for sharing your work, this short film has given me two big scares, I have learned a lot. I was looking forward to seeing this making of. You are a great couple, a big hug for both of you. Postscript: the plane of the flowers, seeing it repeated is very funny from one day to the next.
You guys are my DIY short film heroes.
Great new video
So glad you've kept doing these shorts and giving us the behind the scenes. With blu rays providing less and less bts and making of docs these videos are so important to aspiring filmmakers

Those floors noises could have been a character all their own. Not in a horror sense, but in an early 2000s, water cooler sketch.
"It's nice not to worry about some details and just enjoy making movies".
The only way.
Thanks.
The pre-recorded video with the sound cues is a really good idea! You could get those tiny gel pads that you use to stop cabinet doors banging and put one on the end of your thumb or your finger, that way the screen doesn't register your touch when you press it.
I am a HUGE fan of "campfire stories", i.e., short, creepy tales that could be told at a campfire with minimal effort but maximum effect. While I *do* love longer scary films and novels, there's just something about the economy of telling a full story in a short amount of time that increases it's power tenfold. I found your channel completely at random years ago while I was searching for horror shorts, nothing longer than 8 minutes long, and the first one I watched (I thought!) was "Attic Panic" and I was SO impressed by it, I subbed to you before even checking out your actual channel.

Every time you upload something new to this channel it's like Christmas! Thank you so much for continuing to share your experience with the world :)
Gh1 nostalgia! Mine is sitting on my shelf behind me. Great video.
Really really love this guy and his message. We all need this
Your videos are an inspiration to me. I hope that you and Lotta can visit Brazil one day.
*Adore your passion.*
The only director i admire the most❤

The best part about any short films you make is definitely the behind-the-scenes videos!! Always learned a ton from them 😁🔥

Thank you for the insights and the time you spent making this BTS, David. Really appreciate it.
These BTS videos are brilliant. They are a unique mix of entertaining, calming and inspiring. Thank you. I want to make a short now!
You cannot not love David! He´s got a big heart. Fun fact - i am as picky as you on continuity but i didn´t notice the flowers.
Just the video I have been waiting for. Amazing work man
Will watch this tomorrow. I'm too tired now (it's 1:38 am over here). Love your videos. Keep smashing ponys!
Edit: ended up watching it now anyways. Great as always!

great words sir! And awesome results
