Shooting a Short Film On A Budget - Behind The Scenes

Shooting passion projects can be tough, in this video I break down how I shot a short film on short notice while on a budget. Pre-production of short films and organization is key!

Gaffer: Michael Fisher

Gear I recommend!:

Seeing those few behind the scenes shots, you can already tell that your short film is going to look awesome. Creating for your own love of the craft gives projects a feeling of freedom and fun.

Dude. I’ve been struggling forever to figure out how to get going on a short film project for almost a year now. This video is a huge inspiration and gave me so much motivation to get out and get it finished. Thanks for all you do man, your videos are incredibly informational and amazing. Keep it up man!

What you call budget...is the privilege of resources. It is not realistic and not available to most. This was a misleading title.

Your intro is so raw and beautiful! It feels like we are talking, I can listen to you for hours( though I am not a good listener)

Starting with the vision, taking action... and everything falls into place!! Nice work

It's great when others say, just make something. And it forces you to act. So many times i have been like....I don't think I'll make that video. And so glad I did after the fact. It's super fun to do projects like that. That Gaffer was clutch.

Brady, you never disappoint on your videos, many times i have came so close to quitting. I have spent thousands on a dream that I have, but I have had to learn from lighting, videography, editing, audio....the whole 9 yards by myself, your love and talent for filming has regenerated my spirit many times. Most of my cinemaphotography is for private clients on time that i have to squeeze in. I want to do short films but hardly have any time to do so, every once in a while I get to shoot a short video but its always a rush and it comes out like a beginners lol. Anyways, keep up with the tutorials and great most humble videos out there. look forwards to seeing a short film from you soon. Thanks and keep filming.

"LOOK AT THIS PHOTOGRAPH".... nice video man!

I'm currently going through almost the same experience, 5 days before the 2-3 day short film shoot (my first film) and listening to you definitely helps, calming the mind, since I'm not alone in such an experience: making a film without any budget )) Thank you!

Brady this BTS video looked great. When will we be able to see the completed film?

[danielboldin]

This breakdown is amazing!! Thanks so much for sharing this!

[jules-lkzn]

Really cool that u give an inside on the progress!

[edwardcrockett]

Bro, just catching up on your latest videos and this one was so so good! Got me inspired to go out and make a film ASAP

[givebackdocumentaryproduct]

Best of luck with the film in the festival dude I am sure it will be great 👍

Dudeeee I start so many scripts but i can never cohesively link everything together, so I totally get you man. its hard.

[NickDelDuca]

This is an amazing story about a project and inspiration. Yet all I can think about is how much of a privilege it is to be able to have 2 weeks available that you can devote to something like this. And I feel like that's not at all lost of Brady which is why this is inspiring. I would love to do it some day but I just don't think it's in the cards for me or most people. I recently took a week off of work and I realized that was the most time I had spent not working since I graduated highschool 15 years ago.

I can’t wait for Aputure to send us free lights to use on our movies as well!

[WhySteve]

Nice man, looking forward to seeing it!

The shorts looks great, congrats!... I wanted to know how do You manager the squeeze factor change when pushing in with the Sirui lens?... I'm thinking on shooting a little film myself and don't know if it's really an issue or not.
