What filmstock and Bolex was used for this? And what lens did you use for the wide lens part?

Well said, keep going Matt!

Your cinematography skill are really dope. Content creator yes, but in this new era your potential seems very promising

Love your style please keep making content

Also, Phenomenal. Are you still on C100?

How long does it take to shoot that short film? From script to color grading

Dude this video is fucking amazing, the editing, the color grading, the framing , omg the shots r so beautiful and the whole idea with the different versions of you saying different things was brilliant. You are a filmmaker, what I just watched was a film!!

Bro this is so freakin real, keep making cool shit🤙

Thank you

Damn. Don't sweat it man. I work in the industry in LA. I know a bunch of directors & DP's working with 30+ person crews, shooting Alexa 35/LF, getting 6 figure budgets, shooting for big name clients and artists... and a let me tell you: a lot of them feel the same way you do. Music video sets & labels can be pretty shitty. Commercial clients & treatments are soul sucking. Everything is super corporate & advertising based. At the end of the day, all these creatives just want to tell meaningful stories, and a lot of them feel stuck in the capitalist grind. Many of them look to narrative shorts as an outlet. So you're actually in the same boat, as someone looking to tell stories through the filmmaking art form. Just keep making stuff & telling stories. My advice is to work with friends as much as possible. Filmmaking is a collaborative art form. Being with your filmmaking family on set is a wonderful environment. Don't isolate yourself. Good luck!

Phenomenal.

This was an absolute masterpiece, visually, story telling, and hitting me right in the feels, and hit the nail on the head on how I've been feeling trying to navigate this industry. Thank you for this Matt, honestly, the vulnerability shown was moving! And so god damn relatable.

i feel exactly the same. might as well create our own shit than wait around for the next yogurt commercial. love the way you put it all together! great edit!

So well said man. So many people obsess with the new shiny camera with all bells and whistles and forget how much more important the story, performance and production design actually are. You could have an IMAX camera but that's not gonna improve a poor story, poor acting and bare set design. Love the honesty here!

Dudeee! Thank you!

I also just moved back to the GTA, from Vancouver, where I've worked in the film industry for 10 years, from camera trainee to camera operator. One thing I gotta say, working as a technician gives you no creative freedom. At the end of the day, you are working on someone else's project, a big studio. Since moving back I have done exactly what you are doing, creating opportunities of my own. However I am still working within IATSE to make a living. At the end of the day, making your own films is much more fulfilling. I hope you thrive in downtown!

3:05 the music was so perfect, good job man, you are a real filmmaker in fact.

It's the "I just wanna make cool shit!" 💎

Digging your videos!

Well done. Just... well done.

Love it Matt! I think all of us freelancer/RUclipsrs juggle with this internal battle

so good man

"I don't care, I just want to make cool shit" - I love it.

Yep! Exactly and remember, you're 100% right because in the end, if you're creating, then you're winning. The majority of the industry is full of worker bees, not creators. They are told what to do by someone else. They create to put money in their bank account, it's job. People who take their creativity and turn it into content, are the people who when the chairs are all gone, survive. Just look at the mass exodus of people from Hollywood over the last 2 years, simply due to union contract negotiations. Many of my friends are simply quitting the industry entirely, they've given up. They aren't going to make RUclips videos to support their family, they're going to get a job out of the industry and probably never once go back to it. So as a young person, doing this as a passion, you are actually way ahead of them. Get a good job to pay the bills that enables you to grow financially and take that money to create content. Guarantee you, this channel within this decade, will grant you more views/eyes than being a "DP" on some lame low budget features. Heck, people will know your name too! Anyway, good work and stick with it, this is the new way of making content and you're way ahead of the curveball.

This Was Beautiful !!!!!

Absolutely fantastic work and so so inspiring!! I am in the same situation as you more or less and I am sure most of us feel this way some way or another. But never forget that doubt is a part of any journey to become your best self. Trust that you got this. Even on the doubtful days. Much love

Beautifully made and so well stated Matt! There’s absolutely no need to put yourself into any neat little box or label. Just keep being your honest authentic self and the right audience will always resonate with your message. Peace and love brother!

❤

😮‍💨👏 This must be the way.

.Film life but don' t film to live.

resonate with this heavy. great job man!

Wow! That is an excellent video! BTW, what is the name of the youtubers he mentions after Gawx at 2:42? TY !

This was a simple but very effective video! Thanks man!

Sick dude

this is incredible! always nice to see others with similar conflicting thoughts

great great great

This is one of the best videos i've watched on youtube as a filmmaker in our age and time i can relate

I guessed correctly.... for me on a practical day to day basis with reasonable budgets Tung. is pretty much dead and is not coming back, and honestly I'm fine with that. I dont't miss it. The upsides are just unsurmountable. Furthermore with each passing year LED gets better and better, and the apps that go with them get even more powerful and practical. If your deakins and you have massive budget and are working with a director that has weight pull and also cares about this sort of thing.....yes tung. is still king. Anytime you are burning something the resulting light is special and in the right hands it does make a difference and creates a kind of movie magic that is intangible. But on your bread and butter jobs, day to day mudane kinda of work? its dead. Starts becoming really hard to reationalize the extra expense that come with them. Anyway....thats my .02 cents! Loving your channel BTW! subb'd

Let's stay strong film community

bro this is too good
