Super Members BTM_Pix Posted August 15, 2023 Super Members Share Posted August 15, 2023 Prompted by a tweet from @Andrew Reid about BBC drama production in the 70s/80s, I remembered this gem of a YouTube channel where the production staff of the era discuss and reproduce their work. The videos are a combination of bitesize and longer form and covers every stage of the production process such as these. It is a fascinating collection of pieces and much can be learned and applied to shooting and editing today. Not least of which how lucky we are to have what we have at our disposal.

kye Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Meanwhile, I'm 14 hours into the recordings of a 20hr course done over Zoom to people all over the world on combining blending modes and alternative colour spaces to get better colour grading in Resolve. Yeah, things have moved on just a bit! Not much support for Jacobs Ladder when cutting S16 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkabi Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Funny thing about this… It was harder to shoot and edit a movie in this day; forget about the price of equipment too. Even harder to shoot a “good” movie, forget about an “amazing” movie… with amazing characters and scenes… But, once it was said and done… it was easy to sell… there was always a major buyer/distributor. Fast forward to today… easy to shoot and edit, hell you can do it all on your phone… you can do it well too… it might take some time to write the script, storyboard and even find decent actors - go to a drama school and take your chances with auditions etc…. Nonetheless the price of admission is super low… again you can do it all on your phone. However!!! You will have a hard time selling it. kye and FHDcrew 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But of course very broadcast focused. Wish they'd done the same for filmmaking too. Of course I checked out the ones on sound: 8 hours ago, mkabi said: Funny thing about this… It was harder to shoot and edit a movie in this day; forget about the price of equipment too.

High barrier to entry = lowered supply = more relative demand (i.e. easier to sell) Vs now, which is the opposite! kye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
