Hi there. I'm making a movie, and I need your help: bit.ly/GOATLAS
epoc

Austin: make a movie this summer.
Dan: *makes movie*
Austin: wut
Austin: Dude I was trolling
Austin: didn't expect that reaction but that's okay.
Austin: I didn't know your movie was gonna be BETTER than Sprouting Orchids.
Austin: _surprised pikachu face_
Bruh.
"I can't do what Hollywood can do.
But I can do what I can do."
Probably best quote from the whole conversation
Kinda inspiring as well
@@Coolsomeone234 yess
I wouldn't want to do what hollywood does.
I've never been into noncery...
Other UA-camr’s viewers: we can make some memes, a compilation or two... yeah that seems good
Austin’s viewers: ...so let’s make a MOVIE
I love it.
@@austinmcconnell and It's awesome
"So I booked a ticket to Chicago."
Uh oh, Austin's turning into Nick Robinson.
THATS EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT
Well anyways I booked a flight to japan
Man these two communities intertwine quite a lot huh?
@@KOJote-ow8uf yep.
And now I'm watching Nick's sonic review
Would watch this film to be honest.
@@The5DollarFilmSchool aw hell yes. Yo these are amazingly well shot btw wowow
I'm just glad that you're interacting with your Subscribers
many Content Creators tend to disconnect with their Fanbase when they reach a certain point of having too many Subs
Thanks. It's important for me to not lose sight of the reason why I do this - to encourage creativity and storytelling. I want to do more with viewers this year, and I hope this video is sort of a first step in that direction.
@@austinmcconnell its very cool, but be safe, triple check everyone and dont get stabbed, lol
@@alexrechkin7 agreed
@@austinmcconnell oh those plans aged well.
@@captain_ravioli1514 Yeah. The pandemic hit RIGHT after I posted this video, and I had to cancel a ton of my travel plans... plus I went into heart failure. I'm getting back into the swing of things, though! Thanks for watching.
Austin, your fanbase is one of the most amazing fanbases I’ve seen on UA-cam
You’re here as well?!
Found you again.
Austin, if you ever have meetings with “Hollywood”, always treat them like they’re the ones who need you MORE than you need them. And until they have a contract in front you with an upfront cash sum, always treat them like you’re gonna drop them like a stone. Because as you know they can and will do it to you.
You deserve a career in the industry. It can take a LONG time to make it, but I have faith. The creator of Black Mirror was making similar stuff to you back in the early 2000’s (screenwipe was the show). He even did several skits on how much bullshit the television industry is when it comes to making a name for yourself. now he’s internationally recognised.
(“Charlie Brooker, a career in telly” 13 years old when uploaded - it was at least broadcasted years before that and it was on a B list channel at the time and watched by almost no one)
did you watch his last video? about the movie he was supposed to make?
Lizz yes. Hence why I made this comment now. Only by the time I saw that video it was buried in comments.
I haven’t seen content like Austin’s since Charlie Brooker used to make similar styled content. I miss it tbh, however he’s since made it big and is now no longer a niche person. His series went from arthouse Channel 4 tv series starring B list UK actors at the time (I think the guy in the second episode is the protagonist from get out) to a worldwide phenomenon starring John Hamm in one episode)
My point was he seemed almost defeated in that video like his chances of making it outside of UA-cam are ruined. They aren’t. His break will come one day, he just needs to release every shot at making it in Hollywood is luck based and it’s also about the amount of shots you take. Also being “hot” (having a lot of positive attention around you) is a big bonus.
He will make his black mirror one day. He just needs to not Abandon his UA-cam career and show Hollywood that his current audience are currently good enough (not saying he thinks we aren’t just that Hollywood need to think he’s got it good already and that he’s only taking their offer as it’s slightly better) it’s like a game of poker. You don’t reveal your hand, you bluff.
Brooker is to the best
Nick Granese I don’t blame him for feeling bitter. Hollywood is like dating both a man and a woman: If they like you, they’re like a guy with a boner. They’re messaging you, constantly. Sending you gifts, sending all sorts of positive vibes your way. Then they all of a sudden without any reason. Like a woman, just flick that emotional switch and you’re dead to them. Was it anything you personally did? No. Just someone they think has marginally more appeal came onto the scene, or someone that gave the person in charge a blowjob.
There’s a reason why Jennifer Lawrence ain’t been acting since Mr Weinstein isn’t around to give favours too 😂
I’ve made a 5 hour film on my iPhone... it’s a part 2 about paint drying.
placeholder for when I get something funny to say
When will Part 1 be on Netflix?

Bruh, if you're famous, it's gonna be something
How to I watch it?
Love it! I have watched Dan and Joel’s stuff for awhile and their passion and drive is immense. Their whole channel is a great resource to inspire filmmakers to stop making excuses and make something now.
I know this is an old comment but I love your videos!
3:14 - I simply love how Austin is in total awe of how his video actually motivated people.
My subscribers made a feature film in only three (3) months, so I booked a ticket to Chicago in search of some answers.
*Nick Robinson intensifies*
@@colinschroyer4333 I'm not sure why, but I always thought these two channels have some sort of similarity.
@@colinschroyer4333 didn't Nick Robinson play in love, simon.?
Volkan Taştan they both make a lot of different sometine documentary style videos
@@sm92127 Different guy
There was an awesome moment where he was talking about a cool location and you showed it and I literally screamed “I know exactly where that is!”
It's cool when that happens. The movie "I can only imagine" was filmed in my home town and most of the locations the whole movie I was going "I know where that is". In fact the childhood home of the lead character Bart is kinda hidden and is on one of those roads no one has business going down but I've always been an explorer so I just happened to stumble upon it one day. (edited to add extra detail)
razfilms1 that’s so cool. Let’s collab !!!
That’s part of the reason I love Austin’s videos! We live in the same city so any time he does stuff outdoors I get that fun little “oh I’ve been there” vibe
I made my first serious short film for film school, but it's in spanish lol, maybe I should add subtitles
Edit: I added subs if someone wants to watch it, its my last video, It's horror-ish, and I think its decent, I'm happy with the result
Link?
@@shashwatsingh8339 go to their channel
You had me at horror-ish 😁❤️ Will watch ASAP!
@@lookingforsanjunipero4542 Haha, thanks for watching! Hopefully I can make a feature some day
Está buenísimo chabon te felicito!
Who's gonna add Chlorine on IMDB?
Who's gonna add Chlorine to Letterboxd?
This is just incredible.
Can't imagine how proud I would be if I were in your position. Bravo to all your subs, and to them especially!
I live in Joliet and I go past that iron works site everyday!
So I booked a flight to Japa- wait wrong channel.
ah. A fellow nick robinson subscriber
eggman thank you i forgot his name but i knew yhe reference
You remind me of a younger Paul Giamatti. It's the way you talk and your mannerisms. You just strike me as someone who knows what he is talking about. Same as Paul Giamatti everytime he opens his mouth. By the way, he's one of my favorite actors. I adore Everything he has done.
I definitely can see the Austin/Paul resemblance.
Btw, Paul Giamatti is _amazing_ in Billions.
@The Bandog I actually think Lady in the Water was a brilliant movie. It's actually not for everyone but I understand what M. Night was trying to do and Paul Giamatti was brilliant in it in my opinion. Really anchored the movie for me.
HOLY SHIT THATS WHATS BEEN BOTHERING ME!! I COULDNT PLACE WHO HE REMINDED ME OF
ITS PAUL
@The Bandog I actually thought it was funny and I think that was what M. Night was going for. Like I said. I understand what he was trying to do. So as a Filmmaker some things just don't translate but I like the movie. I might be in the minority but I like what I like.
"So, did you go to the pool this summer?"
"Well, yes, but actually, no"
Beautiful how people can just get up and create a film inspired from one video 👌
It's humbling and exciting. :)
This is great, really makes me think about finally doing... something.
I'm so proud of this community
This is great. I love that you connect with your subs. I just finished my first short "Today You, Tomorrow Me" - I saved up money over a year, and spent $10k on it. Keep putting out awesome content Austin!
Thank you so much for these videos Austin. I first saw was Welcome to Spaceship Day which was hilarious. But it’s hearing your experience as a filmmaker I find really inspiring. I personally struggle with cinematography and trying to get the shots I want. I sometimes overthink things and don’t know how I can make a shot look as good as I want it too. Yesterday, I talked to one of my professors about what I consider to be my shortcomings in cinematography and she said, like you do, to just put myself out there and film something no matter if it’s good or bad. Hearing that along with you really makes me determined. Thanks again for making these videos about your experiences. Have a great day!
Thanks for watching, Justin! Keep at it. Hope you're well.
Spent the whole video waiting for a Home Depot employee to walk in
@@Selrisitai When interviewing the makers of the feature film, it looks like they set everything up in the back of a home depot.
R/whooosh
Dan is a great guy and made a really really good film. That's awesome that you're supporting him.
I made my first short film like half a year ago, when I was 16, and it was shot with literally no buget, it's in spanish but I added subtitles in case someone else wants to see it.
I want to see it
"I can't do what Hollywood can do, but I can do what I can do" I LOVE THAT!!!
All you need is a bunch of people that are willing to work for nothing but experience and/or fun, and a few that really know what they are doing.
If you guys ever need some extra's in these films I am sure you could get some of your subs to be in it, I am in Missouri and would love to help out a local person make something.
One of the hardest things when you begin to get a little bit of traffic is when you first start getting consistent dislikes, downvotes, whatever. It easily hits extremely hard, especially when it happens to every video.
Making videos is still fun and worth it but that seemingly insignificant detail hits like a train and can derail you like one if you aren't careful.
I personally have no idea what I did to offend the person who is currently on a vendetta to dislike everything I put out, but I keep going anyway. I also have no idea what it's like for you dear reader/commenter but you can keep going as well.
@@Selrisitai At first it's easy to think that, but when that one dislike makes up a third of the ratio on every single video it's easy to get worn down by it. Not enough to stop though.
Austin, you're channel is so goddamn inspiring! I would say I'm a pretty self motivated person but it's shocking how easy it is to fall into laziness even after just taking a week off from a project. Well, looks like I'm back to animating!
Best of luck, man! Slow and steady wins the race.
Amazing of you to go to these lengths to support creativity. I hope I can be in that position someday.
Man this video wanted to make me cry. When I was a kid I used to make films (really crappie sci-fi stuff) with my few friends but after I had to leave I completely lost touch with them. I’m so happy that these two at least managed to make it where we failed
Friends come and go... but, you've got the memories!
I hope I can have a friendship like this with my friend in the future, making movies and tv is such a huge interest and I’d love to just have my friend in on the journey with me.
I would watch this film. They seem like really nice people and really down to earth
It's amazing how familiar I am with the environment, knowing that I stay in the Midwest and rode through areas just like the shots in the film! This is amazing!
I've been so inspired by your work. I'm not a movie guy, but I am a writer. And over the summer I finally started work and I published my first and second poetry books. I had been wanting to do it for a while, but I finally put my foot to the grindstone and wrote. Thank you, and for anyone reading this, you can do it too.
Last summer, I actually (quite coincidentally, actually, haven’t seen the encouragement video back then) started writing a book. This was not my first time writing a ‘big project’, but it was the first time I went over 10 pages. I went to my grandma in Toronto and went full creative retreat mode. The book, very creatively named “Red Fallout” was about the escalation of the Cold War and eventually the collapse of most of the superpowers. With pure magic (I honestly have no idea how I did what I did), I pressed through. 20 pages... 30... 40... 50 - I was still pushing it! 60... then the summer ended. I went back to the my high, and got less and less time to work on my dream. By Autumn things were looking grim. I had barely advanced forward, and began to realize how absurd my scenarios really were. By December, the project was shelved indefinitely. But that is not to say that I have not learned anything from this endeavour. I have seen my failures - my triumphs. It has become part of my experience. I now look at everything I write as a new “expedition”. I hope to reach further. Maybe not the end - but as close to it as I ever been. Hell, maybe one day, in front of my local mall’s bookstore - there it will be - like a Phoenix rising from the ashes. “Red Fallout”. But until that day comes, I will continue to endeavour. And now looking back - I can not wait for summer.
dude we need updates
I’m still working on my project lol. It’s a scrapbook of all my memories of senior year.
Chesterson Jack my project is a book series that ive been trying to make real since 1st grade and thats not an exaggeration
This is an awesome story. Congrats guys!
This is the motivation I needed to continue music, I'm definitely more pumped then I ever was! Hell yeah!
Keep it up! I believe in you!
Bro the shots are golden
Really enjoyed this one, Austin. It's one thing to make films and run a UA-cam channel, it's another thing to inspire others to be better versions of themselves and create. 👍🏻
Thats a nice surname you have from another McConnell from across the pond in Glasgow Scotland.
Thats really cool of them to offer to look at peoples first films.
Its so great having you back, Austin! You’re too creative for Hollywood, that shit scares them
This is inspiring,i feel like i’m rewatching this documentary about the making of clerk
Indie film making always impress me
When he said Lap I was like "Did Austin just read my mind?"
Your community
is one of the best community I have come across
I know I'm not supposed to ask this, cuz the camera doesn't matter... but... what did they shoot on?
sony a7iii with rokinon, canon, and sony primes.
@@The5DollarFilmSchool Shaweeet. Great result, even with all those night shots! Hit me up if ya ever do a proj in LA!
They were really lucky to get those shots in Vegas as they DO NOT like people shooting there. Even doing everything above board is a pain. So much so that a friend of a friend who's been in the studio system for well over 20 years did two films in Vegas and vowed to never do it again.
A sneaky camera and knowing where to pull it off helped us immensely!
I want to make my animation so badly but I just cant. I have so many ideas in my head but I struggle to dedicate myself to anything. Hopefully I'll be able to turn myself around this summer but I'm not sure.
this has inspired me to finish making some songs on my backlog and now i have advice for the videos that go with them!!!
It seems really cool! I will be watching it as soon as it comes out! really seems cool.
you can watch it now! ua-cam.com/video/lw5iBFJ_pjM/v-deo.html
Haha, I always love seeing B-roll of O’Hare Airport
I went by your words, I set it as my goal to make a game.. last week I finished the last line of code! Thanks buddy
Congrats to them! Hope it goes well!
When Daniel and Joel said they were talking to me, it sent chills through my spine. Fantastic video!
Glad we could inspire! Hope you go out and create something spectacular :D! Have a great day.
Thanks for making these videos. When I'm creating videos yours always seems to motivate me to keep going and make better content
Love the "I'll fix it in post" shirt
8:12 who was walking around barefoot in the slushy snow?
Could be toe shoes?
Bigfoot confirmed
An absolute madlad
This is amazing and incredibly inspirational.
Austin you’re an inspiration to us all 🤗!
Austin, thank you so much for making videos like these. I decided that this year I'm going to make an entire feature film, completely on my own, in part thanks to inspiration from you. I've always wanted to make something meaningful, but I don't have the opportunity to get people/money/resources together to make a "real" movie so for a long time I just put it off. Hoping that eventually I could find an "in" somewhere, that someone would give me the opportunity I couldn't make for myself.
Then in December I decided I had had enough of waiting. I'm just going to do it myself. I have no budget, no crew, no sets, nothing but what I can come up with on my own - so I decided to challenge myself to find some way I could make an entire "real" movie, without having to rely on other resources. I'm wildly intimidated, but also hopeful and excited. Watching videos like this one gave me the courage to really try, not let my circumstances hold me back, and make something I can be proud of and hopefully people will enjoy watching.
Anyway, thanks for inspiring me to really go for it. If you want, you can watch the concept teaser on my channel, and let me know what you think. I appreciate you, Austin, and the way you always encourage me to really try.
I REALLY gotta see this movie..
Honestly that film looks really good
these guys are great I'm currently working on a Proyecto and you just inspired me to on thinking
I’m expecting these guys to be in a video about youtubers you should subscribe to
Yeah. That video inspired me to work on something. Still isn't finished. Maybe you should do that again and show off what people make THAT summer, lol.
I’m on a road trip with my brother right now. Tomorrow I’m dropping him off at his friend’s and going to see my friend. Because of the Coronavirus outbreak (which really took off after all our travel plans were in motion), there won’t be much to do.
After this video, I know what to do. I’m gonna make a movie. Thanks guys!
Be cool if you had a film competition every year
So many songs that will never see the light of day.
That moment when your using one of your cameras just to film the cameras filming you
HAPPY 1 MILLION🎉🎉🎉
These guys are great.
Thanks!
Can you make a gear guide for aspiring film makers? I have a script but I just want to know where to start
I was thinking the exact same thing. "and you where siting on his lap."
Great film 👏🏻👏🏻 I have a question. What camera are you using to shoot the airport hyper lapse?
As a person who works at a large warehouse I'm terrified looking at the giant stack of pallets behind them. At my workplace the highest stack you may build is about 1.80m and even they tend to crash down causing some accidents...
seems like the dude's role is to stand in one spot and look into the distance in every scene
Very cool and very inspiring.
Outstanding move.
OMG the Joliet iron works is like 10min away from me
It's a pretty cool location!
Sam Esmail camera work. (Love it!)
11:17 I love this shot for some reason.
I have a great idea for a video series you could make! you read our first draft screenplays and then critique it!
Hotdogs and handshakes... why does that sound like a movie title on its own?
It's a great line, yeah?
Nice work!
This was a super interesting video! Kudos to Daniel and Joel for completing such an ambitious project.
Yes I have no budget
I can spend as much as I want
Love this stuff
Thanks, Alexander.
Theatrical release, maybe?
Look at Austin lookin like a life director!
Hell yeah nigga I'm glad you're making it, you seem like a real dude please don't sellout and get all moneyhungry.
/salute
Nice Video! Thanks for uploading! :D

Hey... "Young Teenage Filmmaker..."
What about us over 50 year olds... ?? LOL
I made a feature film as well after watching Austin's videos. The trailer is on my page. We shot it on nothing.
