@Stroheim333 I DO get it, I'm not disagreeing with you but again the title is misleading and it takes him along time to get one point across! the advise he gives is good but the video it self is bad! again Indymogal is a great site to help film makers!

[Stroheim333]

@PauseItFilms, you dont get it. There is no meaning to learn to do special effects, when you have no clue about the big structures and the really important things in doing a movie.

Special effects mean nothing, if you cant handle an actor, dont know how to distribute the movie, dont know how to plan the whole movie set (it is a very good idea to make the special effects one day, the actor-scenes another day, because you need to concentrate 100% on each of this things), and so on.

@Stroheim333 I have taken film classes and the title is misleading if they are going to title something then they should teach what the title says.

Indymogal is a great site to learn alot about films and cheap special effects, cause this video is not, like my original comment said it took them 2 min to say shoot your special effects on another day... that does not help me out at all!

[Stroheim333]

@PauseItFilms, this is not funny advices, but they are more important than the ones you want. Listen and learn; when you understand what filmmaking _really_ is about, you can succeed in making a movie. And not being one of all this loosers who really want, but never manage it.
