We made a film in 72 Hours!!! :)

Currently setting up the lights. Shooting on red komodo today! #filmmaking

Are u in berlin?

Feel like so many vfx and filmmaking people joining here every day. Getting a cool place to connect atm.

Absolutely sick interview setting! Location is kind of a dream for a symmetrical frame.

Also: Made a video about my fav little camera, that I have in my Pocket all year.

Conclave not being nominated for best cinematography. we say it every year but the academy is a joke.

And Best Picture instead. These oscars are so scripted. lol.

This is a good place to start exploring Bluesky's Filmmaking Bubble. Worked well for me the last couple of days!

Yoo, whatsup. Filmmaker from Berlin here. lets connect. :)

Dp from berlin here. Good amount of Filmmaking people joining every day I feel like.

Saw it in the cinema and honestly loved it. But I get what you mean. Its quite challenging to watch.

Good amount of filmmaking people joining here every day! DP from Berlin here :)

I created a Filmmaking Feed for filmmakers if that helps.

Looking forward to shoot a small funding trailer on the Weekend. Pre-pro is done already. Will probably manage to do a vid about it! :)

The hardest part is probably finding a few good hours of sleep 😆

Thats what I here from everyone. Probably not gonna go watch it.

Cinematographer here. Where are you based? :)

YouTube video by Tom on Film How to light with 0$ Budget.

Feel like Lighting is the most underrated topic in Filmmaking.
Did a video about low budget lighting for Indie-Films yesterday. Maybe you get some value out of it.

Good Luck on your journey! Remember to never give up. Filmmaking has crazy high entry barriers and is extremely hard, but well worth it :)

Yes! Lets connect :)

What‘s the biggest challenge for you personally when it comes to filmmaking?

I think finding the right locations with zero to no budget is just on top of the list for me.

No one has ever influenced me more to push the Low-Budget-Filmmaking boundaries then @Gawxart has. No excuses to deliver shitty images if that guy can do it in the comfort of his own home.

Conclave might be one of my favourites from 2024. I mean, it is such great cinematography. Didn't particularly liked the cliché ending, but it is just a super entertaining film.

Looks sick!

Cinematography. Guy on a chair.

Church cinematography.

Outside Cinematography.

Indie Filmmaking is hard. But I'm always surprised what kind of look you can reach without or minimal lighting setups.

Its all about Location and correct Blocking in relation to the natural light you have available. These stills are from the last film I shot. And we used 0 or a single light.

Was watching in Imax in Berlin and the didn‘t balance the volume at all, was as loud as a starting fighter jet. 😂

Its soo beautiful. But honestly not sure if I can stand these jumpscares again haha.

Poster of the film the thin red line.

Just finished The Thin Red Line (1998).

Felt a bit weak in comparison. I'm not a big fan of directors attempting to convey what they think are "profound" ideas, but are actually straightforward concepts of good versus evil, especially when the setting alone is sufficient to deliver the message.

Watched it this morning. I love how they just give simple Guidlines to remember in prepro.

I feel a bit lost as well, but in the end I always love to see what other filmmakers are up to. ideally visually or some thoughts/Tips.
