Hi i am starting youtube channel with vfx, little cgi and acting/short films and i am looking for inspiration. I love cinematography and for now i found 2 scenes that i like. The first is from Now You See Me 2 where Atlas freezes the rain and another scene from Buried from 2010 where the actor is trapped in a coffin. Tell me other scenes that you like or looks cool. It doesnt matter if it has vfx or not. I will try my best to do it.
Movie Scenes to Recreate
- Thread starter borkoborko39
- Start date
For sure.
But the passionate out pour of "the guy just wants to learn" in the face of him never saying anything that even remotely insinuates that intrigued and clearly compelled me. Aw well, seen much worse derailments in these parts.
Time for a cocktail.
Basically it's like this.
Dude asked for scene suggestions.
Others suggested.
You told him he is wasting his time, and did not suggest a scene.
So you started the debate. It didn't need to be one.
On that note, even if you disagree, how about suggesting a scene?
(Let's keep this on track please. Respect the OP's request.)
I remade a scene recently from reservoir dogs, it was only two minutes but it was worth it. I ran in to a few problems like finding the right car. long story short i had to sneak in to a junk yard and use a green screen lol the car we used had shredded upholstery i lined it with plastic and then put a cheap wool blanket over. it was an extremely Sunny the the green screen ended up being blown out and unusable, we had to roto the whole thing and still are. here is a pic from the shoot.
you can actually see the green cast on the actors lol

That's great man! Glad it was worth it. You see the value is lessons learned. Looks like a strong effort as well.
Who tried to shut you down?
You expressed your views, I expressed mine. I even came around to
understanding yours. How is that trying to shut you down? I wanted
your side of the debate. I challenged your side of the debate, I now
understand your side of the debate. I even said so. YOU have ignored
my questions. YOU have never acknowledged my side of the debate.
You never answer any of my questions so I suspect you will just ignore
these, too. No one tried to shut you down. My intent was to challenge
your side of the debate. I'm sad that you feel I tried to shut you down
by expressing my opinion.
Even if his intention is to only have some fun isn't that up to him? If
he doesn't want to learn anything about movies but ONLY to recreate
scenes for fun isn't that good enough? Why is it a waste of time and effort
for a filmmaker to have some fun recreating scenes from movies for his
YouTube channel?
I'm not trying to shut you down; I'm trying to understand your side of this.
You are correct, he never remotely insinuated he wanted to learn about
making movies, so what if I alter my point?
I feel it's rude and unhelpful to tell the OP that what he wants to do is
"a waste of time and effort". He wants to have a little fun and create
a YouTube channel. No waste of time there.
I understand what you're saying about "head space" - we all come to these
discussions with our personal point of view. I happened to emphasize learning.
But what if (Quality said someone should ask what if) all he wants to do is
create a YouTube channel and have a little fun? Does that warrant an
admonishment from Quality that what he wants to do is a waste of time and
effort?
Again, I'm not saying we should ONLY be cheerleaders to everyone who posts
here. But when someone asks for suggestions on scenes to recreate is it
necessary to put that person down? Is it even necessary to protect that person
from failing?
Probably because learning in inherent. How do you learn? Make films. You want to recreate? You're going to learn something. So people chimed in with what a clever way to learn.
"I'm going to make my first film."
"Great way to learn!"
"Hmm I didn't say I wanted to learn anything."
Like I said, I suppose it's because it's inherent.
Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.
