This was super interesting! Loved seeing more details behind the budgeting in everything. It really helps to give perspective! For Loren to be able to just read the script, and immediately say, "So... 80k, hm? You sure about that?" It would be awesome to get to a point to be able to do that lol. Paul's inputs on how different cameras affect the viewers was also really cool! I'd happily take a deep dive on the different types of cameras and what they're used for! Like the "creamy" versus "stark" feeling. The zolly shot also sounds interesting, so it would be cool to see someone actively working that shot to see how they create that effect. Thank you for not compromising quality for Ashes to Ashes. I have a feeling that will more than pay off for you guys when this is all said and done.
Thank you, Loren, Paul and Alan, (and whoever edited - the examples and definitions were super helpful!) for sitting down to show us some of The Story behind The Story. This particular short was not my first choice during voting - though in fairness there wasn't a dud in the lot - but now I'm even more stoked to see Ashes come together! ❤️
Yay! More allegedly-boring-but-actually-fascinating film detail! It's both nitty AND gritty. 🤘
Let's crowdfund this movie so we can get this up and running! I'm so excited for this one
This was AMAZING! Thank you thank you thank you so much for making this! This was so informative and I learned so much! I seriously cannot wait for more content like this. Keep up the great work CT!
Yea! Film nerd details! I am here for it! Thanks Loren, Alan, & Paul!
