    Open The Light

    Lovely. Top 3 have been on my list for years. Time to start watching them. Right down my alley! Where do I find your work?

    Open The Light

    Most of it is stock. I've shot a few things myself; the candle, the tap. The close-up of the eye. I did color grading on almost all of the shots. The idea of the video was to tell a personal story of transformation. By using stock, the whole thing becomes quite abstract. I haven't built any...

    Hi all, I'm excited to share my new project and I look forward to hearing what you have to say.

    pre-pro Approaches to developing a high-level idea

    Really appreciate the feedback, thanks! Surprised you know all of the music! I don’t do music (yet), could make a musical “drone” but that’s as far as my experience goes with music. I’ve found a copyright-free track in some audio library that I’m likely using. I’ll look up the track and artist...

    pre-pro Approaches to developing a high-level idea

    Really interesting article. So interesting and inspiring to watch some of those early experimental short films.

    pre-pro Approaches to developing a high-level idea

    Makes sense. Tricky indeed; I don't mind if the film can be interpreted in different ways (I like a more abstract feel), but I of course don't want to not make any sense whatsoever.. 😛 I guess it comes down to how structured the film is, and how obvious the shots convey what is being said. I...

    pre-pro Approaches to developing a high-level idea

    Great question. I already had a different Jung quote in mind: "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate." General idea being that people are often unconsciously motivated by the contents of their unconscious mind. As Jung has stated on more...

    pre-pro Approaches to developing a high-level idea

    No voice-over, I’m thinking of beginning with a Jung quote (in text on-screen) followed by an (abstract) narrative assembled through stock footage. The quote hopefully does enough for the viewer to connect some dots. I’m trying to use very characteristic footage so it’s hard to mistake what...

    pre-pro Approaches to developing a high-level idea

    I can imagine how lost one might feel in such a case; seems simple enough and it could work to just throw together some shots, but it could be a lot stronger with an actual plan.. 😁

    pre-pro Approaches to developing a high-level idea

    Great tips, thank you. I don't really want it to be a documentary but something slightly more abstract where a viewing will invite reflection/discussion. However in order to convey the essence of Jung's theory it definitely helps to, like you said, have a well-written overview of the points I...

    pre-pro Approaches to developing a high-level idea

    This. OK so for example, high-level idea: a video on Jung’s theory of the collective unconscious and how it has manifested itself throughout the last century. There are a lot of ways to approach this. I guess I’m looking for other people’s experiences in developing an idea further from there...

    pre-pro Approaches to developing a high-level idea

    Hey all, New here! I'm in the process of setting up my own channel where I produce videos which, most of the time, I put together from stock footage. The whole thing should be viewed as a hobby and I'm doing everything by myself. The way I work is that I come up with a high-level idea first...

    Quick introduction!

    Hey all, I'm a film lover/amateur film hobbyist looking to join these forums to learn, discuss, and have some fun. As I write this I'm in the very early stages of setting up my own channel for my short films. I have some burning questions already; I look forward to meeting you all!
