Two of my friends and I want to make a film but like...not a film? I'm just having fun with videos and editing. That's all I just wanted to say that bc I'm excited :3. Also we don't watch films very often so any fun light hearted short films, videos, ect? My current inspiration is Jump Tomorrow (2001), directed by Joel Hopkins.
I really love film and wanna break into that world one day, but for now I'm just starting with making scrappy stuff with friends. The whole thing sounded so intimidating, like what do you mean I have to give people a script and put a camera in front of their face and ask them to pretend to be someone else??? That takes a lot of vulnerability I think.
Turns out it's so much fun and I need to start doing it more. This first silly video is in fact for a competition my university library is holding to make a promotional short for the libraries. Lowkey don't think we achieved the goal but I hope some student worker gets a laugh.
Yeah so check it out it's only 60 seconds.
You gotta make home videos of some sort. Just like random bits of ideas and things you are joking about with friends, make that into a little skit and film it. Itβs so fucking fun me and angel do it all the time. I wanna start a YouTube channel this summer and do more full length bits. This isnβt even a recommendation for content creators or whatever, you just gotta do this no matter who you are. It's very freeing and keeps life light. Even if nobody sees them but you.
I blinked and made a short film? My friend recently started an artist collective, and one of the flagship activities involves hosting parties with queer and femme DJs and/or musical talent. I take the theme and then create something to go alongside the party. This party was called Spring Fling and is about rebirths and awakenings. I reached out to friends to help me create a non-linear short film that tells the "Awakening" stories of 4 women. Pseudo-interview style, and improvised/"real" stories. We posted initial cut, and I couldn't be more thankful for the opportunity to make art with and for my friends!
