wow i pictured berlin not serving this delicacy

nice id like to see a d850 vs 5d4 shootout ?

UPDATE: look at me i wrote the first episode!! its a rough draft but if u wanna read it pm me, its only 4 1/2 pages! (@Zak Forsman ?)

ive been looking for some d850 footage of humans in daylight... is there such a thing? lol ill keep looking EDIT: whoops this applies

this is my exact thinking. tysm zak ?

for sure @Zak Forsman if you dont mind me asking, what do you think about all this?? ur so smart pls tell me im still thinking ~9 (+/-) 5 min episodes to the contrary, i think that it HAS to be good to be worth doing – the cream rises to the top sort of thing. otherwise its a complete waste of time and effort to me personally. and i like spooky shows, i mean id be happy if netflix said 'Make this into a full blown series'. itd be fun i dont!!! thats the entire point of this project. i need $250k for my feature and i want to release it as part of an art show that has other... expenses. AND... lmao i shouldve mentioned this: i need an actual example of something GOOD that ive directed, that any normal person could look at and say 'Oh ok i can see how this person could direct a movie'. not my weird art videos – ppl like those but *I* wouldnt give me money for a feature based on those... i need something legit now THATS a whole other discussion lol... maybe ill comment on that after i figure out how long to make this frickin thing im trynna write... ? AAAAAND lastly, @Liam i appreciate the spirit of your comments, but keep in mind that within my fine art practice, i can do literally whatever i want. THATS where my first feature that im trynna make exists, but i ALSO want to direct commercial stuff... like The Sandman movies (its a comic). i have a whole plan lol theyll make a billion

thats a good question again, i think its bc young ppl like short videos on youtube, and itll get waaay more views and attention that way... am i wrong? i mean im not trying to go to festivals to promote this project, im trying to get attention on youtube to lead to my NEXT projects, getting my foot in the door at agencies so i can explain abt my art practice and all the great ideas i have for making them lots of money. i mean ill totally look into all the short horror things out there, like all the awards lights out won lol, but whats really great is that davids gone on to bigger and better things in essence i think that • web series of short vids is hip and kewl with the kids (actual 13-yr olds) • and its also hip and kewl with producers and agencies who are aware of the massive amount of long form episodic content being produced rn • and all that works together. netflix is a huge part of it, all the vod services, smartphones, etc. its whats hot rn aaaannnd maybe a less valid reason, is that i like breaks as a storytelling device. gives me something to write around, a little structure this discussion is good for my brain, gets it moving lol. im going to mull all this over while doing laundry this evening ? whoops~! ? @mercer i somehow misread this as implying a much longer short film than you might mean – are you thinking something shorter? like how long?

great advice, and tbh i think i get all that but im not rlly planning on doing a vlog/bts stuff bc.... i like watching all that but its not for me. as much as i know it could be interesting to indie filmmakers, it exposes that i dont know wtf im doing lol. AND, more importantly, im really all for suspension of disbelief, and against doing anything that doesnt support that goal nevertheless, i couldnt agree more that @rdouthit is right on the ball. but bear in mind that all i want out of this project is: (1) enough views to not be embarrassed, and (2) to get my foot in the door at a talent agency to illustrate my 'big vision' the entire concept of webisodes (god i hate that word) in my mind is simply that getting ppl to click on a video thats 4:56 long is WAYYY different than a clip that says 44:23, u kno? and if ppl like one and wanna see the next then :boom: playlist there it is thanks for reminding me about lights out, i saw that when it came out but watching it again was inspiring. im gonna check out more of those horror shorts!! i knooo i was thinking about that?? im not sure anymore ughhhhh ?

wait, what does the algorithm care about?

??? haaaaa! im just getting started in final draft, lets not count our shrimp before theyre wrapped~! ?

aaaaanyway ive decided to make 9 (+/-) 5 min episodes, so the whole thing is (+/-) 45 min, like an hour long tv show minus commercials thinking of it as basically an episode of the xfiles divided into pieces makes sense to me if anyone has [additional] feedback on that point, PLEASE speak now or forever hold your peace lol

i had like... 1.25 hot dogs lol. jas got the lions share mmmmmm.... bacon wrapped prawns....

it was jaspers bday saturday he had 7 bacon wrapped hot dogs lol

thanks update: im writing!!!

guys i rlly appreciate all the feedback. im gonna consolidate my notes and do some writing and see how much material it feels like i have so far... still thinking this over but i have to figure it out before i start typing in final draft: how many episodes and how long are they for a first 'season'/arc/whatever i didnt mean to sound too pejorative about creepypasta, i meant 'bs' in the sense that the *black eyed kids* are bs lol. theyre not real... that i know of ? id much rather do something contemporary like that or slenderman or whatever cuz its new, and the kids like it thats how i even kno about this stuff lol yeah thats a great question. oh... viral! mercer its gonna go viral lmao ill just hold my breath until that happens

lol true, i was actually exaggerating quite a bit with that figure. in my eyes thats part of the beauty of a suuuper simple set thats free – even if we have 9 hours of stuff to do we can do it over 2 or 3 days... all good – theres no elaborate lighting, costuming or makeup. and thatd be better for the actors of course. but just saying im not trying to create a situation where i do a literal 9 hours of ~anything~ lol no way

thatd be dope but it sounds hard... i dont think the tram ppl would go for that lol itd be sicc tho, im already scared of heights one of the great things about "black eyed kids"/"black eyed children" is that its just some vague creeypasta bs... are they ghosts? demons? aliens? who knows! i can write whatever i want! lol

HAAAAA thats too funny i worked at UTC ??? its called Idyllwild~! prolly just gonna make that the name of the series, it looks pretty in a serifed font and it sounds cool. and theres a Y in it its awesome up there! 360º views

agree this makes 100% sense to me based on my knowledge of things, but wtf do i kno @Neumann Films really appreciate your advice man, ive been following your work for a long time and ive learned a ton. thank you and thanks to everyone whos posted in this thread, im taking all of your input under advisement. and just to be clear: i am not trying to create a property to sell per se, im trying to sell myself into just *starting* a career writing, directing, whatever. i have plenty of ideas lol. get some meetings get my foot in some doors. on the other hand, it would be GREAT if i could make something where they wanna buy "it", or more likely pay me to make more of it – super, thatd be amazing. in any event itd be waaay better than working at a p p l, which drove me insane i feel you. i swear my creative mind is functioning again, after being paralyzed by stress for a variety of reasons for years, after being away from my job for just a few months – its scary how much better im feeling lol* *this is not unique to me even ppl with excellent mental health go crazy after working there for 3 years or so

THIS IS ALL GREAT FEEDBACK I LOVE U GUYS ❤️❤️❤️ so i came across this short, and i wanted to get some opinions. in a word i think that the production is clearly pretty good, it doesnt come across as amateurish, but the writing just isnt there. i dont love the characters, etc...with all due respect to this director! its 12 min long if u can handle that lol what im trying to make, taking advantage of my complete and total lack of crew/etc, is something with pacing along the lines of The Shining or 2001 A Space Odyssey... slower than the usual stuff, MUCH slower. very visual. not a lot of dialogue. graphic shots, plenty of those with no camera movement... anyway, what do you think of this short? any additional thoughts/feedback/ideas about what im doing are MUCH appreciated~! i have a whole bunch of notes, and im thinking about formatting... U GUYS ARE THE BEST!!!!! what would i do without you idek

Hi guys!!! I need some input here... My new project is im making an episodic youtube series to get my name out there as a director and bc my parents just moved to this beautiful mountain town, and i HAVE to use my 5d3 raw to film something there!!! it would be crazy not to. and im inspired so, basically what im thinking is something with a paranormal, surreal vibe, think the shining/kubrick + the x files ÷ twin peaks lol. i think im gonna do something with black eyed kids (its a thing) because... how easy is that? its not a transparent water monster that looks like pyramid head haha SO, my question is: how long should i make these short, NO BUDGET episodes? and how many episodes should there be for a short 'season'? I'm thinking: (a) with the absolute freedom i have, they can/should be whatever length i want, AND, luckily (b) i want them to be short... like 6-10 min per 'episode'? and i feel like thats good cuz (c) PEOPLE LIKE SHORT VIDEOS. so if i can get in a bit of storytelling, a scare, and a cliffhanger, great. wanna watch more? its coming up next in your queue! autoplay baby!!! so, if i do something like that... (d) how many episodes should there be? cuz of course im gonna write this all at once. it needs to have continuity, and it basically has one storyline, as opposed to a bunch of separate short films. im thinking 6-9 episodes aesthetically, plus that way the whole thingll be +/- 60-90 min like traditional shows THATS IT!!!! what do you guys think? lotta nuances at play here my "friend" justin said that i should make it all way shorter, like a 30 min total time, for reasons im not clear on, but i think hes missing the point that this is ZERO BUDGET. let me reiterate that. therefore, my actors cost the same whether theyre on set for 3 hours or 9 hours – and of course i want to take ADVANTAGE of that freedom in my writing, and the PAGE is the time to do so clever writing is my only chance at this being a success!!! what do you think??? is justin right that i should boil this down to like three ten min episodes?? i feel like i should release, say six, one by one, with a period of time between episodes as i work on post, as i try to build a following for it, and leave the end of the sixth episode on a major cliffhanger, then come back after a few months and wrap it up IDK!!! so help me out guys please and thank uuuu ❤️ ?

omg look a cat!!! im a cat!!!! ?
