I actually worked on 3:10 to Yuma, so I really enjoyed this short.

[ryanansen]

The short was great. Also a great demonstration at how literally no one notices or cares about lighting discontinuity (the sun wildly changing its position from shot to shot) as long as the lighting looks/feels right. Well executed :D

I've been watching this channel for over two years now and I have one thing to say... you guys are just getting better and better! I love how you communicate with your subscribers and very much appreciate the fact that your advices and recommendations are always straight forward. Thank you guys for all the clips you made over the years because you actually made a difference, uncovered a lot of behind-the-scenes mysteries and inspired tons of people like me to fall in love with cinematography in general and with the process of movie making itself! #FilmRiotForLife

[ArizonaGhostriders]

OK...you now have western LUTS and sound effects?!? We've never met, but I feel you love me.

I love it when you create tools for your own use and then we get to buy them. I don't use LUTs, but the sound pack is definitely coming home!

You should do a WESTERN Style MONDAY CHALLENGE!!!

I love how every time you make something, you decide to share the awesome packs used to make the shorts. Sudden thought- your feature film is gonna rock!

[yapeseguy]

WOW. sorry i havent watched your videos in a couple years even though i subcribed way before then. i remember when you guys had like 20, 000 subs or something liek that despite your high quality and highly entertaining videos and now i see you guys have 1.1M. im so happy for you guys

[Creeperari]

This looked like it had a hundred thousand dollar budget, you guys did amazing for such a low budget

[diogoalmeidavisuals]

And here I was super impressed with the C300 mk2. Just to find out you used the Alexa mini.

[dawsonboyle]

Thanks Ryan and the film riot guys! DJANGO is my favorite film of all time! And now I have a lut and some inspiration! I couldn't thank you enough!

[bigbossignition]

I loved the the look the lens gave. I loved the colour grade. I loved the angles. So tasty.

[tarview]

I think it's a good thing to reach beyond what's possible. That makes sure you hit exactly the most possible, which is what you want. If you aim for the highest possible, you'll always fall short. So yes, it's a good thing, Ryan.

[SonicSinema]

you sir, are the man. I owe my career to this channel

[mohinator]

Even sponsoring a free editing software?? The world doesn't love you enough!!

[dallasdandigitalproduction]

FR crew crushed it again. How is this NOT a feature? Aargh. #respect

[brokenstudiotv]

Woah dude, just wooow, these behind the scenes videos are so well made, they're literally so enjoyable to watch!
Hats off to you guys!

[SirRelith]

I love these behind the scenes/making of videos. Of course I love the shorts themselves too!
If you are able to go more in depth with the bts cam video of takes and the video of how you recorded foley,
that would knock my socks off.
