 Welcome to the Crimson Engine. This is a YouTube channel where we look at filmmaking theory, techniques, and of course, gear. My name is Rubidium. I am a writer, director, and producer. I directed TV commercials in Australia before moving to Los Angeles for work in 2008. I then moved to New York and raised $10,000 on Kickstarter, post-apocalyptic web series called The Silent City. It went viral, got a million views on YouTube. I was interviewed by the Wall Street Journal, The New York Post, a whole bunch of other media outlets. I used that exposure to raise money for my feature film called Brooklyn Tide. We shot it in 14 days with almost no money. It was a trial by fire, but I learned a lot. Came away with a film I'm really proud of. We sold it. It's on Amazon Prime. Go watch it. In 2016, I moved back to Los Angeles, started a production company, started working here. I bought my beloved C200. I post videos about my work, about the problems I come across, about how I try and solve them, and really just the films I love and how I love making them. We look at film news, production, editing, visual effects, gear, gear, and more gear. If you're a filmmaker or you're interested in becoming one, there is a bunch of stuff here you might find interesting. We upload videos every Tuesday and Friday, so please think about subscribing and becoming part of the Crimson Engine community.
