Had an amazing time, and got two whole episodes filmed (mostly)! Thank you all of you!! Wanted to talk a while about what it was like, and what I think I learned from the experience for the future!

Have been thinking about you mate. Love your honesty, and I am glad you are making your way well through such a tough time. Looking forward to watching this one. Thanks for all the affordable, incredible content you share, and the super random (I also fall proudly in this category) and entertaining way you do it. I have learned so much. Rock on, Ian

Blake Rizzo

Ian that was an absolute blast!! So cool to see the footage!!!!!

IanHubert

Thanks Blake!!! And thank you for coming!!! You were my favorite dirty sailor!

Blake Rizzo

:D❤️❤️❤️❤️!!!

Thom Morgan

Ahhhh the footage looks so good!!!

Zeke Faust

The footage came out great!! And thanks for sharing your thoughts on the dichotomy of the production machine. It's got so many advantages, conveniences, and utilities that you just can't do otherwise. But I've also been there so many times, where it just feels like the mechanism prevents you from exploring. Both methodologies have aspects unique to them, which the other can't replicate. Oh BTW if you're looking for a nice follow focus system, I really like the Nucleus from Tilta! They also have a Nano version which is much more affordable.

IanHubert

Thom YOU were so good!!!!! Thank you so much! But yeah! It's so cool that the edit doesn't have to be damage control as much as, just, focusing on the experience of the thing :D

Otari Kokojevs

Oh, I can't wait, footage looks solid good! 👌

Joshua O'Brien

This is definitely something I’m glad I came across since there are times I wanted to be In a situation where I could collaborate in a production and these gave me some good notes to take when trying to balance things on one foot or the other. Also it is just something I like listening to when working on certain projects 😉.

Dave Wrath

You're a freak legend Ian! Thank you for taking us along :)

Stephan

So good! Thanks for this. Really makes me happy to see you pulling this stuff off. Amazing. As someone who has only done shoots with a few people max or completely alone, those insights are definitely interesting and useful. I know it's not normally the focus, but I would be curious to know a bit more about camera setup if that info is ever something you'd share. Mostly curious about what lenses you used. They have such a subtle but interesting impact on the mood. It might be more useful info for reference when some of the footage gets released. Camera body too but thats less interesting than lenses imo.

Excellent! Thanks for the insights Ian. Looking forward to seeing how this all comes out. Especially interested interested in what you add in post. Keep us “posted”. 🫣🙃

Jan

get yourself something like a zoom f8 that can record multiple tracks of audio from the same mic at different levels for safety that thing can be a huge lifesaver

When will you be making the in depth greenscreen video?

Pandora Machine

Wow, the lighting and camera movement are simply beautiful!

Robert Singler Jr

What kind of pricetag range is involved in 20-40 minutes of final edited-down footage doing what you did? Do you have ballpark prices for this sort of thing?

Steve Cypert

Ian, you've cleared up a ton of things for me. I've been on sets but never understood a lot of what was happening behind the scenes. As a zero budget CG guy, I've always wondered how to bridge the gap. Looking forward to more insight. Thank you.

IanHubert

I was literally just thinking about that 20 seconds ago! Very soon! Going to check with Nathan about something today, then I’m good to go!

Ian Letarte

My 2 cents: I recently invested in a zoom F3 audio recorder. It can record 32 bit float audio which is basically a fancy way to say you don't need to check levels. like, you literally can't clip. It was such a weigh off my mind for my most recent short film because I knew whoever was operating the boom(wife brother or sister) they could just focus on holding the mic in the right place and they didn't need to touch levels. So happy to hear it went well! Hyped to see more.

IanHubert

AH! That's a fantastic tip! Honestly there was a part of me always wondering "Why does stuff HAVE to clip?"- I want to look into that, thanks!

Olof Friström

Big tip for editing with 32 bit audio is to not edit with it, but export it to a smaller file with the right levels, or into chunks if some parts are really loud and some parts really quiet to make use of as much range as possible.

Paul Wright

Looking good man. I feel your pain on the not eating before shoots. I find shooting the worst bit of the process. Its when I'm most stressed out. And the toe stepping thing is something that kills me as well. Sounds like I hate filmmaking. Maybe I do. I like having a film though. :)

gheedough

Or a 32-bit recorder. You basically can't fuck up recordings - pretty much anything can be salvaged!

Trey Briggs

This was so great. I teared up a little watching the beginning. I don't know you, obvi, but I'm so proud of you, Ian. Hearing the process, good and bad, really helps to understand the realities of all of this. You could talk about this for ages and I would happily watch. Anyway, I know there's so much going on for you and I hope you get time to rest. You're deeply appreciated.

Eugene Lehnert

When you have a big shoot I feel you are just executing a plan and it's difficult to deviate from the plan and be creative due to the amount of communication needed for a large group. The creativity takes place before the shoot. I also learned that relying on good people and long working relationships help helps allow you to be creative. We only have so much capacity in our brains in a day.

Clint Shelton

100% useful! I'm glad you got the chance to work with pro's! Can't wait to see the results and more involved shoots in the future!

Robert Singler Jr

Can I suggest that repetitive tutorials are ok because sometimes you explain things a little bit differently AND because we just love watching all of your stuff? Like this is my homepage, or it was on my other comp till it died.
