Firstly, LOVE THE FILM!!! I am a young budding Director like you guys and was wondering if you could give me some tips on how to make a movie like yours, whatever the genre. Also, what model was your camera(s), as I would love to get a good one myself.Very last question... How do you edit it too
THAT'S IT! From tomorrow on I start preparing to make my own short film, I've been sitting on my ass for way too long... I have it written and everything...Thanks for the inspiration, dudes! Now just gotta find a way to make my 60d look like THAT : (
@MrTahail tip 1: check out the BTS of both tell and losses for ryan's tips
2: just keep doing it, you'll get better with practice.
note: you mean aspiring (not inspiring) inspiring would mean that you've inspired others (i guess you could be but I doubt that's what you meant to say) aspiring would mean to be ambitious about something (in this case filmmaking, of course)

Can someone share the best way to script a short film like this? One that has few lines for the actors but lots of action. Do you write all the action into the script or is it best to do something else? I want to do something like this but don't really know what to give the actors.
@Isle0fRed You can have an opinion, but that doesn't instantly give you the right to bash on people's abilities. I honestly though he did a really good job.
@spairpartsdealer Well, like you said, it's HIS OPINION. He has the right to share as everyone else here. If you have the right to say that he did a really good job, then Isle0fRed has the right to say otherwise.
We just worked really hard and literally filmed it with nothing but a handycam and some friends that don't happen to be very great actors. Just wanted you to know that. And srry for being a little rude but your comment might have accidentally came off the wrong way.
does anyone know the specs of their editing rig(s)? I am interested in making a short film but I can not edit anything because all of my equipment was flooded out in the Hbg, PA floods of 2011... any help?
This is really cool. I always want to do films like this but as a writer I have this incessant need to have my characters talk, Kevin Smith style, ad nauseum.
I really loved everything about this, other then the camera seemed a little shaky. Was this intentional? Did you think of using more steadicam kind of things?

big respect for working with such a short amount of time - some colleagues and myself shot a short movie as well a half year ago and we were under massive time pressure! (it was for university, somehow we never start early enough...) Filming and also especially editing under stress sucks big time, and the final product clearly showed that we had not enough time - I don't see any of that in "Losses" - great job!
You guys are my heroes- seriously. Partly because of you guys, I am pursuing film and video like there's no tomorrow! I was suppose to be in Public Relations btw! So one day, when I saw one of your films I said, "awww, screw the corporate world. Im doing film!"

When ryan says "low budget" this is so true, Yes he has a 55k camera, but this truely is not that much for a film, Go look on imdb at movies and see how much they spent on it, Its also low budget because he used friends family, and a small amount of lighting, for how much ryan spent on this EPIC video it would cost hollywood a lot more on the same thing, And i would say this is Just as good.
Ryan just a simple question or any of you out there to answer "HOW LONG IS THE UPLOAD TIME OF YOUR VIDS?" days or somethin cause it takes too long for me 4 hours for 480p how if 720p? Thanks :)
Do yourselves a favor and google Pure Pwnage. It's a pre-Youtube webshow that rose to millions of regular viewers and eventually got a TV show, and it started with nothing but a good idea and a crappy borrowed DV camera from a university library. Good tools help, but they are not necessary to tell a great story. That's all down to your script and how much time you're willing to commit. Time is the most valuable commodity, moreso than even a RED epic.
can we get a torrent please? haha i for one would love to see this in its completely original quality without the weight of the proccesing of youtube on its beautiful shoulders.
just b/c you shot on a RED does not mean you need $50k+... you can rent them for like $1,200 a day... So even if Ryan had to shell out 2k -3k for two days of shooting, it would be low budget. Secondly, the video looks good primarily because of the direction, lighting, and acting. I bet you if Ryan was shooting w/ a T2i, it would look very awesome. Building some DIY kinoflos is pretty economical as well, so you don't need to shell out thousands for lights.
Ryan, you and your team are pretty much the most inspirational team we've ever seen. When we start our youtube channel, we will make sure to mention you in the video description whenever possible. thanks for the videos and keep them coming!
Personally I hate it when somebody says,"We made this with a very small budget!" Especially in this case, you used a $55,000 camera and had quite a bit of lights, plus the $200 you said you spent on props and what not. Even if you just used the Canon 5D, you'd still be looking at at least $5,000 overall. Therefore, it is not a low budget for us underprivileged filmmakers. Love the show though!
@Waveriders14 but as he said, the lights and props etc are things they accumulated over time. so yeah if you go out an buy a load of stuff in one go its gonna be more expensive, but in the long term your films will look better and cost less.
@mattachu26 I understand that but just use a camera as an example. You can't just accumulate a camera. To get a decent camera you have to put out at least $1,000. Plus you're going to have to buy lenses things of that nature. A nice DSLR lens alone is more than the $200 that he said they used for the entire film.
@Waveriders14 Wrong, you can get vintage primes for as low as 15 bucks each. And truly you can have all of the equipment and still make crappy films. The only way to make good films is practice.
@TheReelFilmGeek I have been practicing but most of the time you won't be taken seriously unless you have quality videos. And by quality I mean good effects, storyline, etc. AND good picture.
@Waveriders14 The people who wont take it serious are not important then because your story and sound will always be more important than your visuals.
@TheReelFilmGeek I guess that's true. But I like to focus more on special FX, so to me visuals is really important. I guess that's why I'm more concerned with picture quality.
@Waveriders14 I can see where you are getting at, but saying someone is working on a low budget is not based on the everyday man. In the grand scheme of things (the world of film making) it is a very low number to spend only $200 dollars on something on any level of film making. Sure some can't afford this equipment, but again we aren't the measuring sticks of low budget. So he had a red epic, he was smart enough to find a way to borrow it for free.
@Waveriders14 Though if you buy a 5D or any other camera, you can reuse it as many times as you want, so once you have bought it, you don't need to buy it again for your other films
@Swaza13 But it's just getting the money to buy it, that's what I'm trying to get at. If you're in college like me, do you think you'd be able to come up with that kind of money?
@DuckHouseProductions Thank you! That's exactly what I'm saying. I have a $150 HD camera and that's it. No special lights or anything like that. I've been trying to win some video contests so I can get some more money to upgrade and stuff, but it's hard to win when you have to go up against people who already have all the equipment.
@Waveriders14 I think you are confusing small budget with a no budget/ extreme low budget. . . Don't get me wrong I see what you're saying, it's just that truthfully (like he said) you don't need great gear, just creativity and effort.
@FutureFishProduction Well I have no budget. I'm a college student with no spare money. I also understand what you're saying about the creativity, but have you stumbled across a 240p video lately on YouTube? They have so many dislikes just because of the lacking quality. Even most of the comments are just of the video quality. Most people now days aren't going to like those videos, even if it is a great video.
@Waveriders14 True, I am in the same boat :( College takes and rapes your money haha. I suppose the only thing I can even say to that is that depending on your family, friends, or school you might be able to make some connections and borrow one. Other than that I can definitely feel the situation.
@FutureFishProduction Yeah my family isn't poor but we're not rich. I'm lucky I'm going to college. I do have a camera that I bought like a year ago. It's really good for $150 but I really want to somehow get the Canon T3i. Don't know how but eventually I'll get it. lol
@Waveriders14 Same here. I recently bought a T2i, I saved up quite a bit and then sold a bunch of stuff haha. They are amazing for something that does so well with video and stills. granted its like 6-700 $ but So worth it. Just keep scouting Craigslist and eBay. Good luck on your endeavors my friend!
@AAfilmproductions I know that but most of us other filmmakers aren't just going to have one of our friends loan us a Red Epic. Most of the time we're going to have to buy all of our own equipment.
@Waveriders14 what im getting at is not about the red epic, you use all of the gear that is available at the time and for them it was the epic for someone else it might be the cannon hv40 the idea is still the same
@TreehouseMovieStudio I know it's not theirs but in order for us to achieve the same thing we'd have to buy it because I'm sure that hardly anyone else has friends that would just let us borrow their $55k camera. lol

When ryan says "low budget" this is so true, Yes he has a 55k camera, but this truely is not that much for a film, Go look on imdb at movies and see how much they spent on it, Its also low budget because he used friends family, and a small amount of lighting, for how much ryan spent on this EPIC video it would cost hollywood a lot more on the same thing, And i would say this is Just as good.

Ryan just a simple question or any of you out there to answer "HOW LONG IS THE UPLOAD TIME OF YOUR VIDS?" days or somethin cause it takes too long for me 4 hours for 480p how if 720p? Thanks :)

So many budget arguments...
Do yourselves a favor and google Pure Pwnage. It's a pre-Youtube webshow that rose to millions of regular viewers and eventually got a TV show, and it started with nothing but a good idea and a crappy borrowed DV camera from a university library. Good tools help, but they are not necessary to tell a great story. That's all down to your script and how much time you're willing to commit. Time is the most valuable commodity, moreso than even a RED epic.

Did you do any tracking? And if so (i presume the shooting-scenes we're tracked) how did it work with the amount of motion?
Did you use mocha to track, and if so, what would you choose to track when adding eg. smoke coming from the gun?
I have a tough intro for a musicvideo and there will be a shootout scene. Any tips and tricks?
Would appreciate it a lot if you answered!
Ps. Love the work you guys are putting out for us! Amazing.

just b/c you shot on a RED does not mean you need $50k+... you can rent them for like $1,200 a day... So even if Ryan had to shell out 2k -3k for two days of shooting, it would be low budget. Secondly, the video looks good primarily because of the direction, lighting, and acting. I bet you if Ryan was shooting w/ a T2i, it would look very awesome. Building some DIY kinoflos is pretty economical as well, so you don't need to shell out thousands for lights.

Personally I hate it when somebody says,"We made this with a very small budget!" Especially in this case, you used a $55,000 camera and had quite a bit of lights, plus the $200 you said you spent on props and what not. Even if you just used the Canon 5D, you'd still be looking at at least $5,000 overall. Therefore, it is not a low budget for us underprivileged filmmakers. Love the show though!
Waveriders14 5 months ago 30
@Waveriders14 but as he said, the lights and props etc are things they accumulated over time. so yeah if you go out an buy a load of stuff in one go its gonna be more expensive, but in the long term your films will look better and cost less.
mattachu26 5 months ago
@mattachu26 I understand that but just use a camera as an example. You can't just accumulate a camera. To get a decent camera you have to put out at least $1,000. Plus you're going to have to buy lenses things of that nature. A nice DSLR lens alone is more than the $200 that he said they used for the entire film.
Waveriders14 5 months ago
@Waveriders14 Wrong, you can get vintage primes for as low as 15 bucks each. And truly you can have all of the equipment and still make crappy films. The only way to make good films is practice.
TheReelFilmGeek 5 months ago
@TheReelFilmGeek I have been practicing but most of the time you won't be taken seriously unless you have quality videos. And by quality I mean good effects, storyline, etc. AND good picture.
Waveriders14 5 months ago
@Waveriders14 The people who wont take it serious are not important then because your story and sound will always be more important than your visuals.
TheReelFilmGeek 5 months ago
@TheReelFilmGeek I guess that's true. But I like to focus more on special FX, so to me visuals is really important. I guess that's why I'm more concerned with picture quality.

@Waveriders14 the entry to ANY film making will always be a barrier, $5k is nothing, do u expect to get noticed using a Flip camera?
Xcomer0 5 months ago
@Xcomer0 No but when I'm just a college student do you think I'm able to afford a $5k camera? I think not...
Waveriders14 5 months ago
@Waveriders14 I can see where you are getting at, but saying someone is working on a low budget is not based on the everyday man. In the grand scheme of things (the world of film making) it is a very low number to spend only $200 dollars on something on any level of film making. Sure some can't afford this equipment, but again we aren't the measuring sticks of low budget. So he had a red epic, he was smart enough to find a way to borrow it for free.

@Waveriders14 Though if you buy a 5D or any other camera, you can reuse it as many times as you want, so once you have bought it, you don't need to buy it again for your other films
Swaza13 5 months ago
@Swaza13 But it's just getting the money to buy it, that's what I'm trying to get at. If you're in college like me, do you think you'd be able to come up with that kind of money?

@Waveriders14 Well I'm only 15 and I saved up and bought a 550D (T2i)

@Waveriders14 Damn right - I have LITERALLY NO BUDGET. I also have like a $200 camera... so I'm hoping to get a better one cos that would be AWESOME.
DuckHouseProductions 5 months ago
@DuckHouseProductions Thank you! That's exactly what I'm saying. I have a $150 HD camera and that's it. No special lights or anything like that. I've been trying to win some video contests so I can get some more money to upgrade and stuff, but it's hard to win when you have to go up against people who already have all the equipment.
Waveriders14 5 months ago
@Waveriders14 I think you are confusing small budget with a no budget/ extreme low budget. . . Don't get me wrong I see what you're saying, it's just that truthfully (like he said) you don't need great gear, just creativity and effort.
FutureFishProduction 5 months ago
@FutureFishProduction Well I have no budget. I'm a college student with no spare money. I also understand what you're saying about the creativity, but have you stumbled across a 240p video lately on YouTube? They have so many dislikes just because of the lacking quality. Even most of the comments are just of the video quality. Most people now days aren't going to like those videos, even if it is a great video.
Waveriders14 5 months ago
@Waveriders14 True, I am in the same boat :( College takes and rapes your money haha. I suppose the only thing I can even say to that is that depending on your family, friends, or school you might be able to make some connections and borrow one. Other than that I can definitely feel the situation.
FutureFishProduction 5 months ago
@FutureFishProduction Yeah my family isn't poor but we're not rich. I'm lucky I'm going to college. I do have a camera that I bought like a year ago. It's really good for $150 but I really want to somehow get the Canon T3i. Don't know how but eventually I'll get it. lol
Waveriders14 5 months ago
@Waveriders14 Same here. I recently bought a T2i, I saved up quite a bit and then sold a bunch of stuff haha. They are amazing for something that does so well with video and stills. granted its like 6-700 $ but So worth it. Just keep scouting Craigslist and eBay. Good luck on your endeavors my friend!

@Waveriders14 when they say lo budget they mean using only the equipment they did not pay for ie: the red the lights and probably most of the guns
AAfilmproductions 5 months ago
@AAfilmproductions I know that but most of us other filmmakers aren't just going to have one of our friends loan us a Red Epic. Most of the time we're going to have to buy all of our own equipment.
Waveriders14 5 months ago
@Waveriders14 what im getting at is not about the red epic, you use all of the gear that is available at the time and for them it was the epic for someone else it might be the cannon hv40 the idea is still the same

@AAfilmproductions I WISH someone would loan me a Canon hv40. My camera isn't even that good.

@Waveriders14 they don't own the RED they just got it given to them for free for a couple of weeks. But I know what you mean.
TreehouseMovieStudio 5 months ago
@TreehouseMovieStudio I know it's not theirs but in order for us to achieve the same thing we'd have to buy it because I'm sure that hardly anyone else has friends that would just let us borrow their $55k camera. lol
