"Don't be afraid of looking stupid, it just makes the actors feel smarter."
I love that.
Rest in Peace
Gotta say guys, this is one of the most brilliant beginners film making videos I've seen on UA-cam. Just watched the whole 43 minutes and the work that would have gone into it would have been huge. For any beginning filmmakers this is a great resource and I highly recommend it. Great work Anders and Eskild, this one will definitely be a massive hit.
Chris
Thank you so much Chris! We're glad you liked it and we really appreciate your comment :)
Chris Winter wow nice channel and do i see a colab with Andyax in the future ??
Hey its you chris! haha
Andyax and Chris Winter "team-up" please..
For sure, I'd love to. I go to Norway a bit so maybe we can connect next time i'm there @andyax
Loving it. I'm just halfway into this video and moved to comment. Can't believe you put in so much effort even for the behind the scenes. I just noticed that one of the shots in the behind the scenes in the train scene is actually from inside the train. Now that's true dedication for content. Overall, even the explanation and documentation is so effective. Absolutely loved it. :)
Hi Tanya Khanijow, I'm a big fan of your videos.
Thanks for all the positive feedback. Remember, this is just our thoughts. There are so many ways of making films. There are no right or wrong. Good luck making your film! :)
Thanks Anders! Very helpful content. Looking forward to more!
Andyax hey! 10:56 : where exactly can I download the app ? I went to canon.com and I didn't see it. Thank you in advance. And thanks for the whole thing
The color profiles are available from the Technicolor website. I think this is the right link. www.technicolor.com/en/solutions-services/cinestyle
The Meridian Byte he lost a bunch of money on that macboook
Andyax Im thinking about getting a new camera instead of my Nikon 5100 I would want the 700d but with a 18-135mm lens should I get that or should I get the 70d with 18-55 mm? Im a beginner filmmaker BTW and also thinking to get a bommpole glidecam slider microphone and a tripod and tripodhead for the slider because it doesnt have one because it only costs 50€. Should I wanted to get the rode rycote because its less expensive than the pro. Would love to Hera back from you.
Andyax, I know you disabled comments in the other video, but I am SO SORRY for your loss. Eskild was such a smart individual and very cheerful in his videos; it's so easy to lose sight of the fact that someone could be cheerful on the outside but suffer from depression on the inside. Again, I'm so sorry for your loss. It makes me happy that his previous videos will continue to inspire new generations of photographers/videographers indefinitely. I wish you and his friends/family the best.
what happened to him?
Shiv NiceGuy he died
Oh my GOSH Did no one notice the husky poster in the room?!!??! Then the husky wakes him up and he finds joy! It is like a God moment!
You are right! :) Props do play a key role to enhance the story. How would The Lord of the Rings film be like without the ring?
The dog ended up being so metaphorically perfect and a reference back to the "childhood bedroom". Awesome! Thank you for all your hard work!
He died :(
rest in peace eskild. i never met u but i feel that i knew u from your wonderful presence on this channel. you had such a bright beautiful personality and you helped lead me into a second career in filmmaking. you had so many friends both in norway and across the planet. you will be sorely missed.
jesus christ.... this was one of the best videos i've seen on youtube ever. Congratulations! You not only showed up how to do stuff on a budget, but made it, and inspired me at the same time. i've been watching some tutorials on youtube and trying to gather as much information on filmmaking as possible, so thanks for this amazing masterpiece. Kind regards from Brazil.
Hagazo O Cara loiro merrou mês passado:( Eskild Fors
THE BEST! This kind of advice is crucial not only for filmmaking, but for just chasing your own creativity and doing things regardless of what you have or do right now! Just do it! Simply inspiring!
In my opinion the most helpful video you and Eskild ever made. It is so good to see that not the equipment is the main part of the film. But the brains behind it. A lot of people don´t understand that. I thought it, too.
Thank you guys for making those videos. Looking forward. Greetings from germany.
Danke =)
@@EskildFors rip
Best filmmaking video ever with the two best filmmakers ever.
Great job guys! This is the official "42 Minute Film School."
Just backed your next project "The Camera Hack" picked up one of the last "That's My Scene" rewards. Have been a fan of your teams work and appreciate the very helpful info/tips you provide to us indie filmmakers. Keep up the great work guys.
13 Stops Pocket Films Thank you so much! :)
Best part was the punch at the bus stop! 😂 😝
I patiently sat through a 42 minute UA-cam video today for the first time. I like it so much and inspired, now i am replaying it. THANKS & SALUUUTE!!! u guys did it already the greatest UA-cam vdo for sure.. FOR SURE!
Varun Mani The same here! I never really watch videos more than 10 minutes but this really got me!
really it just was the feeling like... yes this is what I wanted saluuuuute is worth VARUN MANI
+Shubham Patil What's with all the Indians gathering here? lol
Opposite Lock Just look at that huh.. ah well what do u know, guess u r right!
same! amazing channel!
Those 3 dislikers should leave Earth. This is the best video on UA-cam to inspire and guide budget filmmakers
You can not be serious guys right ! .. You are doing this for free ! YOU ARE AWESOME !
I bet many of us here have dreams to make a short story video ! .. you made it for us possible ! THANK .. YOU !
Eskild R.I.P you will be missed but never forgotten. Salaam from Tanzania East Africa
I've recently become interested in the making of short films. Watching this has been a fun little adventure. While watching, I decided to take a trip to the comment section where I discovered that Eskild has since passed. That was really sad... couldn't even watch the rest of the video with the initial excitement that I had. From then on, it was more of solemn appreciation and learning, but I've now reached the end of the video and must say it was very informative and entertaining. Liked & subbed. Hopefully I can learn how to use some editing software quickly, because I did not understand the part about syncing voices.
RIP Eskild. Blessings to you & your team Anders.
Congratulations on this and all your videos!! You transmit a very good, warm and positive energy. An inspiration and a joy to watch this, on many levels. If only a little portion of the same energy was transmitted in my tutorials, I'd be happy :D
I was going to contribute in the indiegogo campaign but it's closed. :( I'm sorry
Greetings from Spain!!
this is the first video I saw and where Eskild was in, I instantly admired your hard work... so sad he's gone.
Raul Herrera Oh no :( RIP
Just found this channel,watched many videos,felt a really strong connection with you guys,and then in the comments saw about Eskild😔I’m so sad,It’s like you find a close soul and lose it immediately,I’m shocked💔R.I.P. Eskild😔
im glad eskilds videos have been left up on his channel because i really do enjoy watching them.
This video was super helpful and insightful. I thought I was just going to watch a few minutes and ended up watching the whole thing and learned some great things. Thanks for sharing.
Rest in Peace Eskild Fors... You will be missed ! :( What a great soul you were... What a great talent... What a joy to watch. I still can't believe a person as joyful like you was in such a bad stressful time.
Jesus Christ.. I cant believe Eskild is gone... I was just watching some of these old videos and just now got the notice about the tragedy. Im in chock..
yeah. i just knew this for you. Well miss you Eskild Fors.
I’ve rewatched this video so many times!!
Thank you guys so much! You both are truly an inspiration for those of us looking to become filmmakers! I appreciate the time, effort, and dedication that you put into these videos to help us understand how to better our own films.
much love,
Ryan
Thank you so much Ryan. Remember, this is just our thoughts. There are so many ways of making films. There are no right or wrong. Good luck with your projects! :)
watched it all 43 mins....didn't skip even a sec of the video.....thanks for this perfect guidance
The production quality on this video is insane! Thank you guys so much!
It's probably weird that I always come back to the videos to see Eskild ... he was such a talent in front of and behind the camera. ♥
Thanks for your lovely comments!
Thank u
Andyax you are my favourite director of all times, the way you made this video with a beginner camera, the color tone of the video was of so pro level, now I am thinking of buying the canon 700D.
I'm so sorry for Eskild Fors :( He was so inspiring,funny and good teller... Rest in piece Eskild! 😔
Amazing incite into film making on a low budget. Extremely saddened by the news of Esklid passing. I want to produce a film on the effects of long work hours, particularly unsustainable, twelve hour plus, rotating rosters causing physical and mental breakdown due to sleep deprivation. This whole film is reflective of so many peoples lives. My hope is to have them legislated against. Thankyou again for this most inspiring video. Esklid may have passed but his memory and inspiration will remain fo along time to come. God Bless.
I was and am able to connect with the acting
I don't regret clicking on this video, I learned more here than I did in my video production school. Never thought I would chill watching 42:57 on UA-cam video! But it worth every second of it.
not a week goes by i dont think about this video, so much knowledge in one video. Eskild will live on in us all. RIP my friend.
This is the best filmmaking video ever. PERIOD. So much value for absolutely no money! Love it. You guys deserve so much more. Keep it up!
Best video for film makers on the entire WORLD WIDE WEB
Rest In Peace Eskild :(
BestasYT what happened
Kevin Start acute depression happened ( you can read on Andyax Productions facebook)
My god, it’s very sad to see him pass away.
what happened to him ..?
MFINE He killed himself
I was doing my research on camera equipment to upgrade to on a budget and stumbled upon this video. To my surprise, the suggestion of Canon 700D was made, which I currently own and thought it wasn't equipped to handle my vlogging needs. And I ended up watching the entire video of 42 mins. What a brilliantly made movie on a budget. Thank you Anders and Eskild to really inspire me to go out and shoot with my existing equipment!!!! XO
I just saw Esklid passed away I will certainly miss his smiling face. I enjoy your videos keep up the wonderful work!
A clear illustration of how much you can do if you actually know what you are doing. There is really no need for top tier cutting edge 4k-6k-8k cameras or super expensive lenses to achieve great results, all you need is patience, knowledge, skill and desire.
I'm watching this again. Stay strong Andyax! Please continue making more contents. You inspire us all!
This was gold Andy. You guys are one of the most innocent, honest and brilliant filmmakers that I have ever come across on UA-cam and you have my subscription.
Eskild's tie!!! LOL
I had to stay in character ;)
It's a reason for it, a hidden message, hehe ;)
***** The a7s with the 24-70mm f/4 =)
I just attended film school and never left home. And that music was very moving. ‘ Eskild’s Theme’. Thank you for all of your hard work and efforts. You help people like me find our way in this business.
Just want to say that... This is one of the best quality, professional, practical, inspiring, motivational, straight to the point and down to earth videos that I've seen on UA-cam. Seriously, I wish you the absolute best in the future and beyond and you really inspire me to get back into scriptwriting (i currently write short stories and novels) and filmmaking (I did a lot of drama at university) and now want to strive for this as part of my profession as a writer and storyteller. Thank you for the inspiration! Tusen takk!
I'm speechless. What a beautiful, informative, 43 minute creative work of art, created with so much love and generosity. I've never been so moved (but also learned so much!?) from a youtube video before. I can't thank you enough for this.
wow!!!! outstanding short film!!! the only reason i found this channel is because i have been planning a shoot for some time now. and was researching sound capture, and the gods pointed me here... great great work!!!!
stanley flinchum agreed, this is like nyu(New York university) which is a school of the arts, but free and entertaining as well but just as good. I loved the video.
By far one of the best videos I've come across in years. As a filmmaker just starting out and looking for as much information to help with projects, this video is perfect. I love your channel as it answers most of my questions I have. keep it up, you guys inspire me to create something fantastic!
We hope you enjoy the video! :) We only have a few days left of our campaign for the next big UA-cam project, but need your support. We really hope to make it! See the campaign here: www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-camera-hack-youtube-action/x/14922696#/
Yeah I need to pull my finger out and donate to you guys. if you need anyone with a beard let me know lol! check out my latest GoPro Hero 5 review if n you get chance :-)
Thank you so much! If we manage to make the film, we'll have a premiere in Norway and then we'll let our supporters know. Maybe we'll see you in Norway at the premiere! :D
Great video. Shared with my former media college, I'm sure the new students there will benefit from this.
Traveling to Norway from the UK wouldn't be a problem. Would be great to shoot some footage and stills over there and maybe collaborate on a vlog or tutorial. I still have to forgive you for the giant spider intro in this first though lol ;-)
Thanks, I hope they get inspired :)
For those that mentioned the computer, good point. Theres a cost to having a computer and (some) software does cost money. People's time is worth something as well. It all needs to be counted in the budget, even if people volunteer their time and you already have a computer, etc. Not everyone has the time and equipment that wasn't tallied, so to make this applicable to everyone, ALL the costs must be counted.
bye Eskild, thank you for the inspiration for us
This is greatest filmmaking tutorials on youtube. I have gone through almost every channel and you guys nailed it.
Your project [this one] was great! you should be anything BUT fired in the film-industry... truly moving!
I've already seen this video's thumbnail a long time ago but didn't spare some time to click on this but wowww! How come I didn't watched it yet? Just pure awesomeness overload what could I say more? Thank you so much :)
For me I will get a used 70D with kit lens - $650
Zoom H1 - $100
Rode Lav mic x2 - $100
Used vintage primes - $100
Other essentials - $50
I personally don't have audio in most of my videos so my setup is
Sony A6000
Sigma 30mm 2.8
Sony 16-50 kit lens
Investing in a mic soon tho
Okay, but the price only for 70D + kit lens amounts to $1299, unless you said about second hand equipment
***** Yeah second hand
now it makes sense
BananaRolan well , i've seen a ton under 700
.. This tutorial as well as Short movie ...both are very good. Simple, straight and to-the-point. Your good effort deserves great appreciation. ..... just one point... I think the scene at 37:19 should be aligned before the scene at 37:11 ( as in the beginning, from the station to the house, Actor crosses the location of 37:11 1st and then location of 37:19 and then enter the house. So when he went back to the station from the house, he is supposed to cross location 37:19 1st and then location 37:11 ( in reverse order)
woww This is the best Film Gide ever!! FILM IS #EPIC
this is my first time watching a video for 40+minutes without any cut. Amazing tutorial with example, not like others by just saying tips!
This video is a huge inspiration
What a wonderful video. It's really one of the most awesome and helpful videos I've ever watched and learned from. Rest in peace Eskild you will never be forgotten.
wtf i really watched a 40 min video
because its very intersesting!
watched this video more than 20 times. still learning something from it
. Thank you Andyax. Miss you Eskild
Eskild you muffin, what's going on with your tie!!
A hidden message ;)
Ya'll are so sweetly passionate about storytelling + filmmaking! Love it! Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
amazing behind the scenes^^ thanks for uploading guys!
which cable did you use to connect the mic to the camera? :)
It's a 3.5mm extension cord
Regular aux cable extender
Something about this video. Useful, inspiring, charming... I learned a great deal. If I become a great movie maker one day, my thousand mile journey began with a first step. That is coming across this video. What a serendipity. Thank you Andyax. Very much.
I just find out that Eskild is dead. That sucks dude, I never met him alive but he seemed like cool guy and I really saw synergy between u two and passion about filmmaking. that's sad
The setup I'm about to buy off Amazon (staying in the $1,000 budget):
- Panasonic Lumix G7
- Rode Videomic with fuzzy windjammer (refurbished/used)
- Electronic Lens Mount Ring Adapter for Canon ES/EF-S lens to M4/3. I have a lot of friends around me with canon lenses, so I'm going to use this adapter to be able to use their canon lenses on my G7.
- SUTEFOTO S40 Stabilizer. I could buy the Ikan Beholder 3-axis Gimbal, but it costs $509 on Amazon...while the S40 costs around $60 which allows me to purchase a lot more equipment such as lighting, more batteries, etc. (especially on a $1,000 budget)
- Transcend 128GB High Speed 10 UHS-3 Flash Memory Card Able to handle the 4K that the camera can shoot at.
- Selens 168 LED Dimmable Ultra High Power Panel Digital Camera / Camcorder Video Light.
- 2x NP-550 batteries in-order to power the Selens 168 LED video light.
- 5 extra batteries for the G7.
Overall Cost (for me as of November 27, 2016): $993.62
The Panasonic Lumix G7 does have image stabilization built-in, but it's not amazing. Just good. Instead you can purchase lenses that do provide better IS (image stabilization). Which is why I'm purchasing a lens adapter (that has aperture control, auto exposure, and built-in image stabilization features) to allow me to use Canon lenses, on my G7, from people I have been able to network with. Family, friends, acquaintances, etc. Save money by going out and asking people kindly, and people will help! It can record in 4K quality at 30fps (100Mbps). Along with 1080p HD at 60fps, 50fps, 30fps, and 25fps. Fully functional built-in flip touchscreen which allows the screen to be flipped out and turned in multiple angles. Auto Focus feature isn't the greatest, but I always shoot video in manual focus mode. Allowing me to have full control of focus rather then having the super slow camera focus do it as most people use manual focus anyways. Hopefully this setup is a better alternative! If you guys have questions, or disagree. Reply below and I can hopefully answer them, or look into other suggestions you guys post. I can also post up a wish list from Amazon of all the items I'm buying if you guys would like to look at it, or even purchase the setup yourselves! Cheers! :)
How did you make the dizzy effect, when he was walking in the forest?
Nice vid, so much help! Thank you! :)
It was the Echo effect in premiere, he mentioned it during the editing portion of the video :)
Blank Studios oh, thanks! :D
Don't mention it. I like your profile pic btw :D
Blank Studios ;D
I have that question too, I think the echo effect was to enhance the audio but what about the slow motion of the shot itself, how do you make it look like that? that dizzy blurry effect
Where have you been all my life?! This is the single best video about budget filmmaking i've ever seen. New sub because you guys rock! I absolutely an grateful for your time and effort in educating folks like me trying to figure all this out.
R.I.P. Eskild ☹
i wish all beginner filmmakers would watch this video first. You guys were actually showing a story here. i cant believe the output of the process you led us through. thanks so much for this video. Not to mention that i like spanish even though i only know a few lines, i believe this was it.
That was incredible guys, I've been subscribed for like 6 years and you've helped me heaps. That was really beautiful and encouraging to see all the growth in those years; keep going! I'm just a poor musician in Australia so I can't afford to pay any money for your project, but if you're in need of some free music I'd happily help seeing as you've helped me so much. If you want to have an Idea what I sound like just go here > officialgianmusic.bandcamp.com/releases . Otherwise all the best with your Campaign & the Film! God bless, Gian out!
Hi Gian! Thank you so much. I just listened to you song, and wow, beautiful! Bought it
wow man it takes dedication to not only respond to comments but you actually really helped this guy out! Props for going the extra mile, also great music Gian!
aaesome music bro
I have to finish writing my thesis this week. But I watch the whole 42mn with no regret.
La meuilleur video de Film making que j'ai eu a voir jusqu'a la.
感谢你们.
A greeting from Beijing China. Because of you guys I'm going to start making films.
Here is the camera kit we used in this film, including a free SD card and camerabag :) www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/945054-REG/canon_8595b003_eos_dig_rebel_t5i.html/BI/20363/KBID/15164/kw/CAEDRT5IK/DFF/d10-v2-t1-xCAEDRT5IK
3:38 A businessman? More likely an office worker.
20:51 "Adobe" is pronounced like "a-dow-bee". It's not like "humble abode" [a-baud]
32:00 Red shed ruined the beautiful view, IMHO
Ok
Wow.
Awesome.. Now you just inspired me to try my dream..Love the movie.. Amazing story too..
I really liked your video! I am going to graduate from high school in a few days. I'm trying to buy a camera in which you can manually set up the focal point, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and frames per second. The camera link you displayed, can it do all the things which I just put up? Also, if you guys are ever planning to make a film, I hope that I could be a part of it by giving you a good story. I'll have to find ways to earn money to go to college.
Wonderfull, Thanks a lot. Now I'm even more sorry that Eskild has passed of. He was a truly a remarkable and amazing guy, so inspiring for all us amateurs. Rest in peace
I love you Andyax. I've watched alot of your videos since morning and i am just finishing. You have inspire me more than i imagined. Hope a miracle happens and i can get a wide lens soon, but i'd keep creating with my current gear. Love you so much.
Thanks! Did you just find us? :)
Andyax yea I did and I have been watching all your videos since morning 🥺🥺. Haven’t gotten up. I’ve developed a certain connection with your story and your work and I’ve been highly inspired all the way from Nigeria. I’d connect with you on Instagram right away Man ✊🏽
@@ElvisOkhifo I’m glad to hear. Just remember to sleep ;) hehe
R.I.P Eskild
Never have I had one video inspire me to go out and create something. Truly motivating. Incredible work.
R.I.P. Eskild 😔🙏
Just want to say guys this video has really given me hope for my first ever short film im about to make with my 700D and has just proven how great films can be made at cheap prices thankyou!
I bought 700D before the video. And you can install Magic lantern on it =)
i just bought same camera yesterday..
I've had mine for a while now, but I say we are 5 now. Would you like a biscuit, old chap?
Make that 6..
Lets make it to 10, then we can have official "I own 700D meatings"
make it 8
Ive watched this same video throughout the years. Its crazy how relevant it still is!!
Anyone else think it was weird when he said the music was ONLY 55 dollars😂😂
BKB it's expensive however these guys are what we westcost Norwegians call "snobbete østlendinger" ;p.. I jest, however getting royalty rights to quality music is a bureaucratic nightmare sometimes! Just because you bought a album, does not mean you own the rights to publicly use the song as you wish
Om dette er hva du kaller "snobbete østlendinger" så vet du virkelig ikke hva en snobb er...
Nico Cs I jest
Seriously.... you are so good at this.... you've put so much effort to inspire people who are starting off.. Thanks much for all this effort Andy!! This is a gem in the ocean of random information available on the internet! you have touched upon so many aspect with refinement. Seriously, it is the ultimate guide!
RIP Eskild
This film is absolutely wonderful!!! I am so super amazed. This film has inspired me to just get out there and film something. It's not about the equipment, and this film has proved it!! Thank you so much for making this! Thank you!! ✌🏼
fix your tie!!!!
This has to be the best low budget filmmaking tutorial on the internet. Great job guys!
that spider!!! WTF
Dear all, you guys really rocked. You guys need to move to next level. Kudos to you all
The man's tie in 0:38 offends me.
Yeah... Like was anyone behind that camera?
Crude Design eskild passed away
Seriously how what happened?
I just discovered this channel sorry I had no idea
Watch there latest video and they have all the details there. He had depression..
This is the first time I sat through a 43 minute video without feeling bored by a single bit. It's amazing what you can do with so little budget which once again proves that gears don't really matter that much as long as you have the skill. Your production quality is superb and I can't thank you enough for making this film-making guide!
Damned shame about Eskild......
Probably this is the best video about filmmaking guidance on UA-cam. 👏👌
Ok ,since 1grand is a tight budget. Do you mind I get a small loan of 1 million dollars from you.
I don't even make films, (nor do I plan doing so) but I can't stop watching your videos!
