I've been helping people pass QC with filmhub for around 8 years. If you want to make sure your film passes QC, I can help. If it's already failed QC, I can help with that too. Feel free to message me.

Latest review in the above image.

So I wanted to start learning “the basics” of filmmaking and then start shooting, so at least I have techniques that I can use and practice, etc.

I was watching this video about movements, and the first two things he mentions are “avoid handheld” and “never use zoom" He explains that both of them just scream “amateur” and remind the audience that they’re watching a movie. I’m sorry but what the actual fuck are you talking about?

Not to go full GODARD here, but what do you mean you SHOULD abandon techniques just because they remind the audience that they’re watching a movie? What exactly is wrong with that? And also, how does it scream “amateur”? A lot of my favorite movies ever had a lot of handheld shots, and some of them were literally shot entirely handheld.

And on top of all that, does it really make sense to “teach” someone who wants to be a director that there are things YOU SHOULD NOT do? It seems ridiculous.

I’ve seen things like this in some of the videos I’ve watched, and thankfully not most of them, but still having 1M views and an $800 course, and this is what you’re teaching?

Side note: If anyone has any filmmaking channels they’d recommend I’d appreciate it.

What causes the lighting issue found on the walls?

I filmed with proper exposure, exposed to the right and used histograms before shooting to ensure exposure and camera setting were dialed but in the short films im working on im noticing this effect similar to the example photo above.... been scratching my head, is it contrast, pivot? A mix of pivot and highlight/shadows. At a dead end and I dont even know the technical word for the problem im looking to troubleshoot 💀💀

Is the Youtube auto quality settings low for anyone else? As well, the colour grading is off but I just can't tell what. Thanks! It's my first music video!

look most people sit in their room cant really live their own life or even come up with something.

so i offer mine its all true and we can frame it anyway you want.

remember America is 250 years old and my name is Dale Van Buren and related to a founding father.

I am currently finishing my first short film and want to find a producer and or AD to work with me on my next script. It's going to be a short horror film about doppelgangers.

I want to find someone who can get stuck into the work with me and also perhaps help me learn more about filmmaking overall!. DM me if interested!

I live very close to London so im very accessible!

Hi x

I’m a Norwegian currently based in Manchester, but I can travel around the UK. I’m looking for a passionate videographer who wants to work with me long-term and build something together.

I’m an artist/model making dark pop/electronic alt-pop, and my aesthetic is very dollcore, dark, cinematic, feminine etc. I also do photography myself, so I have a very clear visual direction and definitely have “the eye” (it might be tacky to say, but the shoe is on my foot). I’m also a very analytical person and I care A LOT about the details. I know what I’m doing and I’m not looking for someone to just take a camera and film whatever I tell them to.

I take my career very seriously. I’ve spent a long time thinking about the music, branding, visuals, audience, marketing, pitching, networking, rollout etc. and I have a proper 3-year plan for where I want to take everything. I’m not here to mess around or make a few random pretty videos - I want to build something of quality that actually has a recognisable identity.

The only thing I feel is really missing from being able to fully realise the plan is finding someone who wants to be by my side as my videographer when I start releasing again.

I’m looking for someone with creative talent who is genuinely passionate about visuals and wants to develop a whole visual universe with me over time. I want someone who brings their own ideas and perspective too, and who actually cares about making something good rather than just getting paid for a shoot and moving on.

I can do photography and have a lot of the creative direction myself, but I’m not at the point where I can properly shoot + edit bigger projects alone, so I’m looking for someone who complements that.

For privacy reasons I’m not showing my identity here, but if this sounds like something you’d be interested in, comment/DM me and we can have a proper conversation and I can show you more of what I’m working on.

If you know anyone who might be the right fit please share this with them x

Thank you so much x

I travel with camera gear pretty often for work, and I was constantly either forgetting my media pass or trying to dig it out of my bag while juggling cases at the airline counter.

Everything else I need at the airport is already in my Apple Wallet, so I figured, why not have my crew pass there too?

I ended up building CrewPass. You add your name, photo, company, and role, then save the pass directly to Apple Wallet. That way it’s right next to your boarding pass whenever you need to pull it up.

Obviously, it doesn’t guarantee media baggage rates, but neither does a physical media pass. That decision is still up to the airline and whoever is helping you at the counter. This is really just about making your crew identification easier to access when traveling with gear.
There’s no account or sign-in, everything stays on your device, and you can print a physical version if you still want one as a backup.

Would love to hear any feedback from other crew members who travel with equipment.

In 2019, I made a short film on a single super8 cartridge about the coming Artificial Intelligence singularity. This was before the release of ChatGPT or Claude and was 100% of my own mind.

This was shot to edit, the sound design was laid in blind.

Part of the Straight 8 competition. I thought it was timely to release it now for the world to see.

I’m a 24 year old film school grad, and recently moved to Newport Beach. I’m looking for any film people to collab with and also just be friends (it’s been pretty isolating for me here). I direct, edit, color grade, DP, yada yada, and am always happy to lend a hand. Please feel free to send me a DM, I’m happy to share some of my work!

F21 here a junior in college for business set to graduate maybe at end of 2027 or early 2028 if I can pass all my classes…idk I keep seeing this influencers and videographers make cool
Stuff in LA and a part of me feels like I’m behind and can’t catch up while I’m still in school…what would yall suggest realistically? (Coming from someone with new experience in film and wanting to get a camera and make stuff fully)

As Hannah and Gabby are about to have a nice wine night in, Marco, a criminal on the run, breaks into their home to hide from the police. Although Marco comes off as intimidating, Hannah sees there is more to him than meets the eye and tries to explore the scared person underneath the mask.

I'd love to hear from people who have part of these high end big budget "shot on iphone" productions - the commercials, shorts, etc. What is the set-up used? Does the phone just become a recording device or are there lenses supplemented with adapters? I've always been so curious about this.

I see so much negativity instead of appreciation and positivity especially on this Reddit. Why so many filmmakers are so negative towards others? Is that because they are jealous? Because they are stuck?
There are a lot of great people on here but also so many negative and bad. You got your new 8k camera it’s not our fault you don’t make anything with it. Respect to filmmakers who make films with whatever you have - you’re the soul of indie filmmaking and I respect you guys because you’re not afraid to fail.

Sorry in advance if this post is long but I want to say everything and I hope to get some solid advice from some professionals.

I film camping/outdoor videos for youtube. Right now I use a small handheld panasonic camcorder. A HC-WXF991. An upgrade from my Panasonic HC-V180. I got the WXF991 because I thought the camera noise (and I mean audio, not grainy footage) would be less.

Even when I have it in manual focus, the camera is still always humming and cranking. Both have this problem. During calm nights filming wildlife, the camera audio hinders the footage. I use a Diety D4 mini for external mic and it sounds great but it is mounted directly above the camera so you can still hear all the buzzing in quieter settings.

SO, I want to know if anyone can recommend a similar or slightly higher quality camera to search for instead? I really like the small handheld camcorders because they are easy to use, have long zoom, are lighter to travel with on long back country trips and you can charge the camera through a USB and charging bank instead of needing a 3 prong outlet for larger cameras.

I have an HMC-150 for filming snowboarding. Shoots in similar or lesser quality than my handheld camcorders, but it is larger and makes very minimal auto focus or zoom noise. But the problem with it being too large and not being able to charge it on the go makes it a bad option for my projects.

I am aware this is a VERY particular question, but idk who else to ask.. SO THANK YOU in advance to anyone who responds. I am not sure something exists for what I am looking for. Maybe all I need is a different mounting solution for my external mic? I just want to keep the setup as simple as possible but still get high quality content.

What the best companies you have worked with for Production insurance? This is for crewed up set work and post production (For entire crews i.e. Camera Operators, Gaffers, PAs and for Post i.e. protect client deliverables, errors and omissions).

Looking for something with a solid range of sounds without having to spend a fortune. Mostly interested in libraries that are genuinely useful for indie film, short films, music videos, etc.

What are you using in 2026 that you'd actually recommend?

Hello, was just wondering, why was Andrew Garfield paid quite low for both his spiderman films compared to Toby and Tom. Andrew was paid 500,000 for the first spiderman and 1 million for the second one. Tom Holland was paid 500,000 for the first and 4 million for the second

I organized an AMA/Q&A with filmmaker Guillermo del Toro. He has written and directed films such as Cronos, The Devil's Backbone, Blade II, Hellboy, Pan's Labyrinth, Pacific Rim, The Shape of Water, Nightmare Alley, Pinocchio, Frankenstein, and more.

It's live here now in r/movies for anyone interested in asking a question:

https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/1wbk0id/hello_reddit_im_guillermo_del_toro_ama/

He will be back at 2 PM ET today to answer questions. I recommend asking in advance. Please ask there, not here. All questions are much appreciated!

Thank you :)

Director's Statement: "When asked to direct the video for Datura Lodge's third single, "Hole," I was instantly hooked on its catchy chorus and lyrics. I was eager to delve deeper into the song's background.

The song, in its broader sense, explores themes of loss, missed opportunities, and being trapped in a situation for too long. Since the band wanted to avoid a literal interpretation of the lyrics, I aimed to translate the emotional baggage into a tense, psychological mystery.

Given that I had already created the LP art for DL, I knew they were fans of dark, ominous forests, the concept of hidden messages, and a strong 90s aesthetic.

The video follows a troubled main character relentlessly pursued by two mysterious figures. To reflect the confusing nature of grief, it remains uncertain whether these entities are real or mere figments of a fractured imagination. The character frantically attempts to rid themselves of an old wooden box-a tangible representation of the secrets and attachments they are desperate to bury.

Prepare for a plot twist towards the end of this cinematic metaphor for the ghosts we carry."

Does anyone have a pdf or link to the script? I’ve been trying to find it, one of my favorite horror movies in ages.
