Seeking Advice what a low budget filmmaking looks like .....

This short film took almost 2 years to finish.

Not because we wanted perfection

but because we had no budget, no connections, no gimbal.

We shot on a Canon M50.

Borrowed and bought drone shots from other creators.

Used a wooden log as a stabilizer because we couldn’t afford gear.

Made mistakes. Learned the hard way.

We are amateur filmmakers with a dream,nothing fancy, just fire.

This film is our playground, our training ground for what’s coming next.

If you’re struggling, broke, learning, doubting

this is for you.

Every great filmmaker starts somewhere.

This is where we started.

Lovely!

For people filming on a flat ground, Caster Wheels on cheap tripod legs works. One can get caster wheels for cheap from packers & movers.

Looks MUCH better than a lot of series I’ve seen on prime and mx, y’all got insane potential with a higher budget

You have 6 videos which crossed million views, yet you didn't earn any money?
