These guys inspired me to start doing some VFX shots in my basement with my 2 young sons. Its amazing how good $25 worth of styrofoam and cardboard can look with a bit of effort. Thanks guys.
OMG! Fantastic! How you guys don't yet have a million subs, is a mystery to me. Your content is not only funny as hell, but very informative. Keep doing what you do! 👍👍
That's how you have to do it, with passion, creativity, ideas, abstract thinking, an understanding of impact and implementation with the available options. I might have done it the same way, but I didn't! Great work and thank you for sharing your work and experiences! Gold! 😘
Guys, ya'll are the BEST! New Age G.O.A.Ts of indie filmmaking without a doubt! I am enjoying this detailed insight into the BTS so much. Never stop making this content for every single project you guys do. A humble request from your die-hard fan.
given how good and stylized the shots look in this video, i'm almost a little sad that the film itself is black and white. i really love the look of the color shots here.
You guys speak English and your experiences and cheap solutions make your work great why u stay in Croatia? Move to america or Canada can make u famous and rich 😊
This was awesome to see all the tricks and clever ways to enhance the story! I know you had great storyboards and knew your shots, but did you do any new inserts after watching your footage? How many would you say are planned from the beginning and how many are realized during shooting/editing? Thanks!
Oh absolutely, we added a lot of new shots. Let's say that we storyboarded 100% of live action shots, 50% of inserts, and 50% of miniature shots. So basically we "invented" a lot of new inserts and miniature shots as the film developed in the editing. For example we drew just one or two shots of the guy working in the warehouse, to establish his work day. But then in the editing we find a cool piece of music that fits, and decide to turn it into a nice little scene, and we shoot some more inserts, like a typewriter, close up of paper etc.. stuff like that. Basically adding to scenes to make them richer.
@@sliceoflifefilm I assumed you guys would have come up with new shots and extras! Love this series, I do toy photography and am trying to glean all sorts of great info as I am wanting to make a new "comic" style short movie. Thanks for all the content you share!
Oh he's a big time Liverpool fan! I'm not into sports at all but he keeps telling me all the new info on Liverpool as if I'm interested. I never watched a game in my life but I still know that Jurgen Klopp is about to leave and that they acquired that Endo guy recently... I don't even know who these people are, haha 😂😂😂
@sliceoflifefilm haha! When I’m talking football to people I always see the light leave their eyes about two sentences in. Dino and I are kindred spirits
Awesoms work! But it's so much additional effort to re-create / miniaturize each scene for inserts. For some of these, would it have been easier to capture the insert on the set, for a few additional minutes after finishing principal photography for the scene?
Unfortunately it's never just a few minutes. The light you do for the wide shot never works for an insert, there's always something to tweak. And the moment you need to move light and camera and you need to coordinate 15 people (as it is on bigger sets), you lose 30 min easily. And on every filming day you are always an hour behind schedule anyway, so there's just no time to spare. Of course, you can schedule inserts too, but that would inevitable add a few more days to the schedule. That's our experience at least.
@@sliceoflifefilm Okay 👌 Yeah I'm a Director and have always tried to avoid what I know as Pick-up shots that were missed on shoot or that I ran out of time for. The times I've had to do it I have battled with matching the lighting sometimes, although yes grading does help! Did you guys run out of time for all the extra Inserts you needed to shoot?
@@DennisScullyzenith7 No, we didnt even plan to shoot them with the actors because we would lose a lot of time on set. We always intended to film them afterwards.
Ok, as always, I learn something new from you guys. From now on, I will be stealing the "Poor Man's Mandalorian Techique" to describe this process. lol
Insert this!!! Top notch as always. I really like what you did with the poormandolorian "volume". Its so incredibly effective, especially the shot of the Sony camera. Once you composited the screen over the top you would never know that was a "fake" shot, which is ironic because it still is captured "in camera". Ill say it again, learning more from every video than the last 3 years of film school. Much love, see you next week! Also thanks for sharing your trip to the USA. Even in Australia the stuff you are doing there seems so "exotic".. ha ha. I want to wear sick shirts and cowboy hats and eat burgers and shoot stuff! For like a week.. Then GTFO out of there.. Lastly your garage looks way bigger than it did in Slice, its still the same place yeah?
Haha. Thanks a lot! Happy to hear you got some good info! Yea America is exotic to us too, and I agree, a week would be enough! We were there a whole month and it was hard to be away for so long. It's the same garage, albeit redecorated. We shot this with an iPhone. Perhaps the lens is wider 🤣
Maybe because its not stuffed to the brim with toilet sets and cars.. If the camera adds ten pounds, then the iphone must subtract them he he..@@sliceoflifefilm
I know...😞I'm sorry... I am wookie (or Village Person)... and loving it! ps There's a pump INSIDE the pee pee boy? Fabulous... That would have saved the family hundreds of thousands back in the day@@sliceoflifefilm
Mandalorian on a budget, awesome shots!!!
Thanks dude!!!

Oh great!!! So happy to hear that! Say hi to the kids! 😉❤
This is a great lesson on filmmaking on a budget ! Bravo 👏
Big budget does some of those tricks too!
Thanks a lot for watching!
OMG! Fantastic! How you guys don't yet have a million subs, is a mystery to me. Your content is not only funny as hell, but very informative. Keep doing what you do! 👍👍
Thanks a lot! We're modest. Half a million subs will do. 😂
"You're doing it Peter (Pan), You're doing it!" Couldn't be more stoked to see you guys executing your vision and cinema goals. Inspiring!!
That's how you have to do it, with passion, creativity, ideas, abstract thinking, an understanding of impact and implementation with the available options.
I might have done it the same way, but I didn't!
Great work and thank you for sharing your work and experiences! Gold! 😘

Thank you very much!
Very nice! Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much!
I have a list of shots for my project, so I fully understand how much work goes into it.@@sliceoflifefilm
This is so awesome! Thank you for sharing this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just perfect Infotainment 😊

What an amazing know-how :) Thank you!
You're welcome! Thank YOU for watching!
Love the insert shots, if you ever need an old, knackered Geordie photographer or camera operator hit me up!
Thank you! 😉💪♥️
And Dino is a Liverpool fan? You guys just keep getting better and better.
Oh he's a big time Liverpool fan!

You are awesome cool filmmakers ❤❤🎉🎉
You are awesome too! ❤
I used to shoot inserts for American TV shows like NCIS, JAG, etc.
Ha!!! That's great. We always joke how that would be a cool busines. Just shooting inserts for different productions!
@@sliceoflifefilm If you guys ever come to Chicago, I want to meet you.

@@sliceoflifefilm Wow. Thank you for that explanation! (Who knew??)
So good!!!
Good stuff! A big challenge must be matching the lighting?
not that hard actually. we just do it by eye, but color grading can always bring it to the finish line!

Ok it finally makes sense.... Lots of french red wine... Lots if bottles... Lots of bouquet... Bokeh..... ✌️👍
Exactly! 😂
Great Info.
Glad it was helpful!
I love your videos.
Thanks Tony! 😉
Love it. Poor man’s Mando! Sooo good.
I’m coming to be exploited by you guys one day!! 😀👊😀🏝️🇦🇺

Very important 😂

This requires time and dedication but would love to try it for music videos
Luka's face at 5:08 & 6:01 just sooooooooooooo fits to him (sorry mate no harm),
🤣
Great work, but I noticed a minor mistake, the type of camera flash you used is too modern
there's probably a 100 other mistakes like that in this film 🤣
Welcome back from your trip guys!
Oooh, thank you, thank you!
when can we see the movie?
Love from INDIA
Not for a while. It's being applied to festivals. 😉😉
Hawaiian shirts for days
Hawaiian shirts 4 life!
You guys make me miss smoking. I need a pack of slice of life lite 100s in soft pack.
Hahaha! I wanna smoke now too!
I want a pack, but I don't even smoke! 😁
Nice
10:26 film is reverse… takes one shot
They little guy peeing
Is very famous in belgium
Its a life size statue in brussel called manneke pis
Yes yes! Someone already commented. Great info!! 😉
I love the fact that all of you wear costumes for shots where the camera only shows your hands. 😁😁
We are method! 😘😘
Why not "The Poor Man(dalorian) Technique"?
Haha good one! That's better!
For the algorithm 🤟
BEAUTIFUL! ps what's with the face hair??!!!! A nee Ah! Sies vuil VANTASTIES!
Face hair is the meaning of ones true self.
I know...😞I'm sorry... I am wookie (or Village Person)... and loving it! ps There's a pump INSIDE the pee pee boy? Fabulous... That would have saved the family hundreds of thousands back in the day@@sliceoflifefilm
the sheer amount of blatant lying and fakery morphing into beautiful shots is very satisfying to watch!
I think so too!
Wondering what these guys could make with a fat budget
We wonder the same thing. 😂❤
WTF is this movie about? Apollo 11 and urinating 😂
You are absolutely right! 😂😂
