I made a film alone called "The Invisible Man". But it didn't turn out too good because every scene just showed empty rooms.

$400 for a fake hazmat suit, that suit better protect me from Ebola at that price.

The Tripod. My best friend for my shorts in quarantine. We became really good buddy’s.

This is actually what i'm doing right now with two short films in pre-production that I plan to write, shoot, edit, and act in, doing literally everything by myself. This is really motivating and inspirational!

[JacobsenBros]

Making films alone is how you can describe every one of my films.

[HarriRobins]

Alternative title: Making a film with all my friends.

[AveryTalksAboutStuff]

This is exactly what we need right now. Thank you!

2 years ago, I travelled to Iceland by myself and slept in a car for 6 days to film a short film. It was the most beautiful and spiritually-rewarding experience; I highly recommend everyone to try this.

It really reminds you why you love film...

[TannerKerrins]

Gotta say his notes on adding set decorations to the bathroom was really cool. I also made a film like this during quarantine called 'The Strange Visitor'. Keep working hard however you can and stay safe everyone :)

[LesFilmsDeTAD]

I always make shorts alone and I think it's the best way to learn because you can't ask for help and you must do it by yourself.
And when you're done you're really proud of the result, you're saying "I can do it, I don't need an all crew to make something"
In my case, it really helps for self-confidence

I just watched it and I'm not going to lie... That was the best Sci-Fi short film I have ever seen! The cinematography and fluidity of the scenes were so well crafted. Awesome Work!!!

[thatMikeMurphy]

Love this so much!
Having just watched all 3 seasons of Stranger Things (love the hoodie) and being curious about film making since childhood, I recently thought "now's the time to start..." which quickly become "oh crap, I don't know anything about film making and I live in a little city".

BOOM - Film Riot to the rescue and excuses busted by Joe.

Can't wait to get started...thanks guys.

I love how Joe explains his process of how he made "The Volunteer". And like him I've made three shorts during quarantine some where for class while one I thought up of and made. I enjoying making those shorts and hope to make more soon.

For making a movie alone he used "we" a whole lot. So, not alone. Sometimes you don't have someone to push a record button, help write or edit. Having these things makes it not alone. That aside. Cool project. Looks good.

Dude this is how all of my productions have been the past few years. Literally just me & my actor. I’m gonna be the DP for the biggest project I’ve worked on in 2021 & I’ll be nice to have a crew & bounce ideas off the director.

[danielclifton]

Not only was it a great film, but it was so cool that Joe gave us a look into his creative thinking and process. Thanks to Joe and Film Riot for this video.

Joe at the end: "I'd like to thank all the people who helped me"
Me: ಠ_ಠ

[impguardwarhamer]

thanks for this video. Not only is this useful as someone trying to make films on my own, this guy also seems to have some of the same taste as i do in terms of lighting and stuff so there was some valuable advice and examples here

[ronleic]

Just started making a short film starring my 13 year old son. Using c4d, after effects and premiere. Look out for Lockdown coming soon

[Nic-tgei]

Wow, it's amazing what you can achieve alone when you have a nice home, a really expensive camera and lens, co-writer, colorist and VFX artist.
