Article Comment – The Painful Truth About Filmmaking No One Tells You When You're Just Starting Out

Had some extra time finished the video

My opinion is unchanged, the videos tone is depressing, pretentious, and annoying

To all my haters more is coming when others post shit like this, nofilmschool seems to be a haven for stupid shit like this

Article Comment – The Painful Truth About Filmmaking No One Tells You When You're Just Starting Out

Can't finish your script? Cliche, stop fucking complaining and finish.

"Boring stuff like paper work." Wow big surprise? How much do you really wanna do this that this is even brought up?

How much financing do you really need for your low budget project? If you keep getting "stood up" by people with green maybe you need another plan. I don't want to hear about it, that's life.

Heckling your family for money to make a film. To each his own...

Maxing out credit cards. Emptying bank accounts... Again maybe you should reevaluate the cost of your project.

If the crew is just you or you can't get other to crew, then your not pitching your project successfully, you have poor people skills / personality, or your project sucks. Of course a combination of those three is possible as well.

Why be so concerned on whether your film will be deemed "good" or "bad" ? If you are there are tried and true formulas if that's your concern.

Shot list, storyboards, location scouting, auditions, call sheets, production meetings, camera testing, rehearsals, logistics. Wow sounds like you are revving up for production! That shit is fun. Why is it listed in such a depressing way? If it's not fun to you maybe you should consider another "career" path and stop bitching.

If your actor bails on you right before shooting starts. That's part of the game.

The weather, really? If you're losing a location before you thought you would then you probably didn't pay for it. So that's a given that that's a possibility.

Random equipment failure, again, a given. So why complain?

You are stuck doing everything yourself. Good! At least you are doing it. What is there to complain or "truth" about?

Jesus nowadays EVERYTHING is a "struggle"?

I got other shit to do and I can't go through the rest of the video

but shit like this is annoying, just be happy you are in a position in this world to be able to make films, even if it's as a one man band

If you are making things over and over again and continually the only crew member that's your own fault no one elses, people will gravitate towards a project that is good or that has a good leader even if the pay is minimal or non existent
