Trek of Joy Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Peeps, I'm working with some students and searching for more films like Hearts of Darkness or Burden of Dreams that take a deep dive into the making of a film. It doesn't have to be feature length, but I'd prefer if it were about productions that involved a crew, a budget, a schedule and so on that show the challenges of a production and how those challenges were overcome. I have Netflix, Amazon and a smart TV with all the freebies. Thanks in advance. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only watched the first season as I'm not sure if the other seasons aired in the UK. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Greenlight To be honest, I'm not sure the first one did either and I may have watched it via a "non-traditional" method 🙂 Its based on a competition element but once that is out of the way after the opening episode or two and they've picked the winning script it then follows the whole process through to the film being released.

Super Members BTM_Pix Posted September 6, 2022 Super Members Share Posted September 6, 2022 Project Greenlight fits the bill for you in terms of the full crew/budget/schedule aspect but, even just for contrast, this full length run down of the whole process on a micro level is very comprehensive.

IronFilm Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I have lots of BTS videos on my youtube channel (and from the sound perspective, which is a very frequently overlooked aspect). Plus the kind of productions which allow me to / don't mind if I do BTS, are often smaller budget productions, and more relatable to your students than AAA Blockbuster Films. https://www.youtube.com/c/SoundSpeeding/videos Trek of Joy and kaylee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These do help as I'm trying to show a bit of every facet of production, and sound is obviously very important. Cheers! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome, thanks so much! It doesn't have to be big features or anything, just want different perspectives on creating a film, the wide variety of crew members, scheduling, locations, crew management, and actually shooting. I appreciate the suggestions. Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything they went through, along with managing Brando and Dennis Hopper - its amazing the movie was finished. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
