KILL OR BE KILLED - Short Documentary

I'm in love with this channel, seriously.

It's a motivation to keep creating, it's helping me learn how to tell stories properly.

What u're doing here is insane, so thanks Mark!

watched

We never got the bts, or am I missing something?

Hey Mark, I am thinking of making my first doc and I wanted to ask you a quick question. Do you meet and chat with the interviewee before an actual interview to get to know them better and get an idea of what kind of shots/scenes will go in the project? Or you make an interview first and after it you determine themes and overall roadmap to shots, scenes, b-roll and overall story that you gonna tell? It would help a lot if you could share your approach ❤

Re-watching this for inspiration for this upcoming One Day Doc contest.

Epic! You inspire us to go on this way. How long did it take to edit? Thanks for all the good work.

Nice, How’d you find this guy? Great video.

This looks great and has been really nicely cut. My only note is that the sound design competes too much with the interview audio, and the interview audio is a bit “roomy” or reverberant which is a bit distracting. Good job otherwise!

nice!!!

That Helios bokeh though!!!!

Do you have any videos or input that goes into how you come up with questions to interview your subjects? I'm assuming this is how it goes to get that detailed and hooking dialogue from them.

is that Vin Gasoil

I'm completely wowed!!

Thanks for sharing

This was VERY good! Love the character turn. Bravo

We need more people like this him!

Fantastic 😅

Joel = meathead narcissist . Good doc though

As an aspiring filmmaker your documentaries make me feel so much - pacing, colour grading, and shot sequences. Inspires me to KEEP GOING! Thanks Mark!

FANTASTIC ❤

Nice work Mark. Your efforts over the years have translated into outstanding results. Bravo

🤯🤯🤯 this was amazing!

This is dope! Fabulous! Hugs from Brazil! <3

👏👏👏 From Argentina

I had been holding off on watching your documentaries (I'm not really sure why) but what a waste of time. Your work, vision, attention to detail, and your compassion to share this with those coming up and after you is touching. I love watching your channel and the things you share. Keep it up brother.

As an aspiring filmmaker that makes his living as a fireman Ill just add that I respect the heck out of a guy that would volunteer in harms way. Kudos to the subject, real life hero.

it's really nice

Holy sh*t. Pulling some stills for an upcoming project. Great job man!

Damn this is good!

So inspiring watching your work

Stellar work Mark! On the opening scene, does the 24mm sigma produce those stellar sun flares?!

and you inspired me to make a short documentary, thank a lottttttttt

Oh My... this storytelling, those colorgrade, epic shot
It's was really great man

How much you charge if i needed your help to make my documentary?

That was ridiculously amazing 👏

Nice work 🔥

Love the color grade and amount or lack of brightness.

🧡💜💛💚💙

Dude, you just went through a whole hero's journey arc in 5 minutes! I've heard you talk about your principles on documentary storytelling, but this was my first time seeing it in execution. You, sir, are a master!

Well, that was bloody brilliant. I could have watched it for an hour, or more! Subbed, looks like I have lots of vids to watch. ATB

Great work! What is Joels last name?

Thank you!

You captured my interest right away. Your effectiveness is remarkable. I hope I can create a film as striking as this one.

I know folks who built up their lives in such a way at such a young age and once they got older and couldn’t perform like they did, their path usually goes into a much darker place. Beautiful story, dude 🤙🏽

I love this!
