The Advantages Of Low Budget Filmmaking: Red Rocket

Thankyou for having proper justification for calling your video "Filmmaking". I hate it when Digital users call what they do "Filmmaking". true filmmaking is the photochemical process. Anything else is just story telling with electronic gadgetry!

I recommend seeing the trailer of NO BUDGET NO SCRIPT NO PERMISSION. That shows you how to make a feature with $0!!!

I'm a great fan of low budget films, because I prefer clever scripts over fancy effects!

Indie filmmaking is the goal, currently a one-man show is the reality.
Being solo does have its advantages, but also frustrations.

great video. I watched this the other day and was really impressed with the way Baker told the film with the low budget production style. Once you got hooked on the characters and the atmosphere, all those big scale small scale don't matter anymore. here echoing my mentor's word: "You 'd want to have a good story told via an okay camera, rather than a very good camera but very bad story"

Low budget films have their place, but they are very limited and come across as two dimensional even with a good story and dialogue.

Sean Baker's production inspires me again.

my movie cost may 100$ but its so much more funer.

All the support.loved the video

Can you drop the link of the Sean Baker interview that you reference throughout the video? I'd like to listen to the whole thing.

This is great!

As a person who has worked in the industry, every single day since 1985, I can tell you the truth. The fact is that money means absolutely everything in life and in the film industry as well. The very idea that there is a positive aspect to having less money, is pure delusion. There is no "advantage".

I thought I read somewhere that there was far less shooting days

thank you. i loved this

The horizontal anamorphic streak looks completely out of place. EDIT: the whole video feels like an ad for Red Rocket.

You sound South African lowkey 😹

Would love to see a video on John Cassavetes

I film set without permits, security, trucks, and trailers doesn’t look very professional.

I’m just keeping it real.

really?? I can make this film on a $60-$70 tops..this Baker kid pocketed a cool mill!! Good for him! haha

Love your content!

I wish i had someone who i could have mentor me, but my area isn't exactly safe for minorities or queer people. so i really rely on channels like yours to help me expand my knowledge
honestly i'm super scared to try filming in this area

I remember the lead actor from the Scary Movie franchise too haha

how to find this type of background music like this video??

Love your videos, are you going to do a 3 budget points video for Robert Eggers now that the Northman is out?

Finally someone does a video on my favorite movie of last year

I feel like this is an ad for the movie because I hadn't heard of it and now I want to watch it 😁 Excellent content as always!

I’m torn because I see myself more as a low-mid budget filmmaker but I still like to plan things out as much as possible… good thing storyboards are easy to draw lol

I remember Gareth Edwards saying on a large budget film if you want to change a camera angle it takes hours as you have to shift hundreds of crew members and equipment out of the way. You end up not getting all the shots you want because it just takes so long. Meanwhile on a low budget film you just pick up the camera and move it.

This was great, thank-you!

crossover between my favorite recent movie and favorite recent channel

This videos was very motivational for me, thanks for that

I feel this so much ! I just shot my latest short film on a tiny budget/ no time/ super complicated story
But this forced me to be creative it's by far my best work so far

A great director.
Red rocket stupendously brilliant

I just watched this movie in Spain yesterday and adored it! What a way of creating emotion through the resources of cinema medium exploring subculture niches. Outstanding camera movements and edits by the beat. And many moments of the film are hilarious. You're very right about finding that balance that allows any filmmaker to land the place they want. Thanks for the video!

AND THE MOVIE FOR SURE IS 100% TIMES BETTER THAN SHIT BLOCKBUSTERS

Constraints can be a huge accelerator for creativity, not only in creative processes.

can you make a video about asghar farhadi or abbas Kiarostami

I only knew about this film from my fascination with the career of Simon Rex, he was a TV personality, then a cheap smut comedy actor, then a joke rapper, and now a 'real' actor. I'm all here for him.

If you want to explore the idea of low budget filmmaking even more for videos, I recommend making a video about the dogme 95 film movement.

Orson Welles always used to say, "a film is made up of a series of divine / beautiful / happy accidents". I'm happy that you leaned into that within this video.

Great to see focus on the smaller productions. Such a perfect combination of talents and the willingness to stick to the uncontrolled nature of low budget has certainly paid off - absolutely wonderful film, loved every raw minute of it. Can't wait to see his next film.

Hello In Depth Cine ! Thanks for this incredible video, I'm in love with all your work ! Can you explain please how to produced a low budget film with his own money ? If you want obviously ! Sorry for the many mistake I'm french :) Thank you again man you're one of the best cinema channel on earth

Ахах, бюджетное кино, снятое на киноплёнку))
Спорное решение при том, что всё можно снять на цифровую камеру и накинуть зерно плёнки на постпродакшене (ведь зритель не заметит подмены), а освободившиеся деньги можно было бы пустить на более важные статьи расходов.


Ahah, a budget movie shot on film))
A controversial decision despite the fact that everything can be filmed on a digital camera and a grain of film can be thrown on post-production (after all, the viewer will not notice the substitution), and the freed money could be spent on more important items of expenditure.

I get having a small crew but regarding gaffers and lighting crew, I would take two electricians

My favorite film channel on YT 🙏

Beautiful work

great video as always!

This video is exactly what I needed to see at this point in my life, thanks so much! Keep up the great work!

TL;DW independent, low budget films are cheaper and allow you to be more creative and make the kinds of stories you want. Unless those stories are big budget blockbusters.

NO FUCKIN SHIT LOL
