This was so detailed and AMAZING content! It's honestly the first video out of hundreds that give a clear overview of what a producer does

Super important for indie peeps that can see how to scale this down to their productions. Great stuff!

I like the common problem solving aspect of this video. Really cool concept to see a producer talk his way through the problem and solution.

Thanks for reminding me why I like guerrilla filmmaking

Love this channel & series! Waaaay better than film school! Keep up the great work!

You are such a God send! You give years of life learned filmmaking trial and error lessons in these videos. I can’t believe how amazingly possible you make this super illusive dream feel. It’s super inspiring...super motivating! You guys work super hard but trust me as a fan it’s always appreciated

I got to work with Moses on set, Awesome Dude

This is really helpful to explore my way of thinking. I've watched this video for several times and now can remember and understand it. Thank you Ted and Moses.

The details... the details. Always nice to hear from you guys. Thanks for the insight.

This is such awesome content. There is not much out on KZread that delves into this much detail on this subject. I pull several tips on Indy production from this channel. Thanks so much for producing awesome, actionable, and informative content. Keep it up. We appreciate it!

Love when you bring Moses on

Love this guy ! Always giving so much information and details !

This was so awesome. Thanks for making such helpful and actually informative videos. Keep it up!

We do a lot of commercial/corporate work and this video is a perfect tool to show our clients what really happens in the planning and behind the scenes. They have NO CLUE! :)

Moses!! Yes!! Tracking down all the episodes with him cause the knowledge he's sharing is invaluable!

Q: In the movie “US’ with Jordan Peele there were 3 production companies listed in the opening credits. Blumhouse, QC, Monkeypaw. Which company actually is in charge of securing the locations, permits, getting the catering, renting the equipment ect

@Emir-Husidic

4 жыл бұрын

A simple Google search shows that QC is purely a financer. Monkeypaw is Jordan Peele's Production Company so possibly someone there did the actual work. Blumhouse is a distributor/studio/production company/financer so they were probably in the mix on the decisions but probably didn't actually make them but it's also not impossible.

10 minutes in and I'm already overwhelmed lol I'm trying to educate myself for when I start shooting my own indie films and this is a lot of great content. I'm going to take this in stride.

LOVED this video! Please do more of these break down videos

Clear, concise, and incredibly informative. Thank you so much for this excellent video.

Please do more interviews with this guy 🙏

I shot a feature film in a friend's house. That last toilet paper tip is priceless. Follow it to a "T". Great video, guys.

This was great, I love how his mind works. Would love to work with Moses one day.

Most informational filmmaking channel! These are super helpful and interesting 👍

This was insanely helpful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and the tips.

Very excellent information so much goes into making a film from start to finish, it starts with planning and going from there.

I remember True being the go to guy in “ Atlanta “?. I worked under Jack Coffee, Jimmy Osburn. And of course when John sold to true. Retired in Thailand.☮️ Jack retired just up the road from me in Patong. PS … always bring the key sound.

And Set Dec for floor, wall and ceiling treatments as well as placing plants. And Locations to ensure a fairly quiet location and no planned construction noise. And Sparks for a power drop. And Camera for sound hops and timecode sync, especially because there is a SteadiCam in use. Basically trying to minimize anything that has burned me in the past.

This was a super valuable video for an upcoming wannabe producer (Like Me) I would love more video's with this guy so I can learn more.

great video. Thanks!

i would really love to see a continuation to this with some more scifi producer, or the kind of movies that use a lot of green screeen and how it change the game

Side note dully noted. Thanks for this vid, it did wonders for me.

I guess we definitely need a third-day shoot for the 3rd scene, as its the climax with a complex choreography in one shot we need to rehearse that several times before going into the final take(maybe several takes depending on set mistakes, mis synchronization), also our shooting duration is limited as story requires certain natural lighting. The pressure of doing this kind of scene in a day after shooting the 2nd scene might drop the production quality.

This is soooo helpful and in depth. We need more content like this!

More Moses!!!

Great info. I'd encourage you to have the Editor in early prod meetings. Piano music and poolside band is almost certainly playback so there needs to be prep for that. If the piano is NOT playback, i.e. it is PRAC, you've blown out your shoot by several hours, maybe another day, plus... timing.

This is a terrific video and very informative and insightful. The one thing I find puzzling is that the services of a location manager seem to be ignored. No time is allowed to find and secure the locations. Most of what the producer is taking upon himself in the location scout are issues that a location manager and a transportation coordinator should handle. The producer honestly should not be worrying about parking and portalets and where lunch will be and staging at the location except to the extent that they are collaborating with and supervising location and transportation heads. I’d want my producer to be worrying about higher level issues than these

Congrats! They say never become a too good of a PA because you won't move up the ladder. Be nice and kind, listen to others and memorize their names. Life moves in the direction you want generally and if you have a goal in production world, no matter where you're starting, you'll get there.

This dude a bad man!!! Legit problem solver.

Great video :D

Indy Mogul are you guys spying on me? i made it to the second round of a film competition and this video comes out. thank you so much !

Kept waiting for you to throw that opening scene of La La Land, just to see how he’d react.

"Gonna need a long oner of a guy playing a grand piano." ...doesn't invite sound dept to the production meeting... This is indeed a great intro to what a producer does.

That dance scene was shot in Griffith Park, not a public street. I used to walk my dog in that exact spot.

That tattoo is awesome

Please suggestion production software which helps us with end to end management of a movie project.

The setup being described sounds like non-union (typically low budget to mid budget, and generally short films, Indy movies, or commercials, not network TV shows or Network Films)... PA’s don’t typically drive vans on union tv/films. Also pop ups generally come from locations or transpo and crafty is it’s own department. There are definitely different scales of Hollywood productions, and what’s being described is not what’s regular for bigger shows (La La Land was most likely union).

Please about the film contest. How many minutes should the short movie be?

I literally learnt more things in this video than I did at a film course at university lol

Learning how to be a independent producer taking Daniel Breas classes.

I guess one of the benefits of having most big productions all in California is that busy producers don't have to keep up with state laws for a dozen or so different states. But also, if they're shooting in a different state, the laws in that state are probably more lax than the ones in California, so there are fewer bad surprises. If you're going to cut your teeth in one locale, it might as well be the one where the laws are strict, the highways have heavy traffic, the sky is the wrong color, there are always helicopters flying around, and the side streets are hilly and narrow.

Great stuff. But all these permits??? Åre you shooting in sovjetunionen???

Hoa never new so much was involved in filming each scenes...

For an Indian crew this is one day shoot for all 3 scenes. Double Shift Post Lunch : Pool Party 1pm- 6pm Post lunch : Restaurant Scene - 8-12 pm Dinner at Restaurant (same location) - Junior Actors packup , Choreographer Call in Dance Sequence : 4am to 6am (easier permission) Pack up P.S. - Tough Schedule, not really !

I'm confused. Nowhere in this video or description does it say where we get those RGB bulbs in the floor lamps. Where are my RGBs, Ted? Where are they?! Just kidding. Love the channel. Love the vids.

Any chance someone can break this down further when it comes to co-producers, line producers, etc? I want to get more into this side of the industry, even at a very small scale (even as an assistant to an assistant), but there's just so much to it. I've tried getting entry level positions at productions offices to no avail. I've worked on set, but that's a different path.

God bless Moses for keeping it a buck 🙏🏿

The batteries ting doh

What is the software used for planning in this video?

I just shot a music video in Leo Carillo on the beach at Sequit Point. I had to go through buying short term insurance and getting permits for these shoots and learned a LOT about permits in California. I am super curious if there are any cases in California, especially if you are very-indie, where you can shoot for commercial use and get away without having to get insurance and permit, even though they are extremely advisable to have. Those costs can really add up! Any insight? And other than FilmLA and the California Film commission, are there better ways to go about getting the permits? And when going about getting insurance, I understand that needing short term or getting year long insurance is different for each person but have you found the best way to go about getting film insurance, and brokers you would recommend in LA, and what kind will optimize your bottom line and always cover you for whatever kind of permit you want to pull? I would just really appreciate an insurance and permit episode. It's something not a lot pf people are aware of when first going into real film making.

I came to find out what a ACTUALLY Producer was. I stayed to find out what a Producer ACTUALLY does.

i miss this indy mogul 😭

What about closing down the 405 FWY?! I’m dying to know how many portipotties were needed 😂 But for real, all jokes aside. How does that scene get made?

Too funny... I thought the entire "Lovely Night" dance scene was shot on a sound stage. The lighting around the actors looks so locked off in contrast to the background and the pooling of the light compared to the sharp silhouettes of the surrounding hills and landscape with classic distant lights in the background... I just thought they went for the old school sound stage look. And there is practically zero atmospherics around the actors in the shot... no bugs, smoke, wind, haze... wow. Not that it wasn't already a lovely scene, but it has just become infinitely more interesting!

Well, that might still be the case. This videos was theoretical after all - maybe it wasn’t shot on location.

Kind of Disappointed you don't mention Script Supervisors in this video. A Script Supervisor is a Department head and a huge part of the process especially for Indy Films. I would Love to see you guys talk about that more. Especially the relationship between a Script Supervisor and a Producer As well as their relationship to the director. It's such an Important job and is not talked about enough, I would Love to see you guys cover it.

*QUESTION:* What is a _soft hold?_ I can kind'a guess but I'd rather know for sure.

Basically asking for an availability and letting them know you could be booked for the mentioned dates. In case if that person gets another offer for overlapped days, primary hold could potentially get a courtesy call to either release or put a solid booking to secure the schedule.
