    Great video, however just as a pointer if you don't have a decent budget still make it. Even if there's no money, the best camera to use is the one you have or the one you can get your hands on and it can more creative adapting to your surroundings than having your surrounding adapt to you.

    Excellent video! I have worked as an SA in film for 8 years now and still find it miraculous that all the preproduction, production and postproduction steps come together to produce a completed film. I am in awe of the professionalism and attention to detail of those who work in the industry.

    I'm the kind of weird who's idea of FUN is research and development. If I give a character a knowledge or skillset, I go and try to learn to do that thing. Nothing takes me out of a story faster than seeing something I know for a fact to be wrong. With this mindset, you learn to become very multiskilled. Does it take a lot of time? Yes, but so much of it is proactive research. If I think of a question to something I don't know, I run down the rabbit hole and learn everything I can about it. On second thought, I think this might be my mental illness speaking ;p

    *You do not need to write your story to be a director or filmmaker. *You take a story written by an actual writer then edit it down into a script. *You take their story and create the visuals that match the words. Also in my mind concept sketches should come first before the script then once the script is done you verify the actual storyboard. What is the point of basing your film on a script that has limited and boring visuals, when film is a visual medium? There is this concept at film schools that the director writes and directs their film. When it should be instead that the director finds and adapts a pre-written story into a film. And sometimes you do not even need a script or story if you are shooting a music video that could be a compilation of nice visuals.
