The winning work at the AICP Awards will join the MoMa’s archive, side by side with art masterpieces. But is making museum-worthy art as tough as making museum-worthy ads?

───────────────────── Chapters: 00:00 - Introduction to Film Production 01:24 - The Production Process 02:59 - Chapter 1: Planning the Shoot 13:43 - Chapter 2: The Setup 17:54 - Chapter 3: Start Rolling 28:15 - Takeaways ───────────────────── FILM PRODUCTION FOR BEGINNERS Making a film is difficult, and each step of the filmmaking process comes with its own difficulties, but the production stage is perhaps the most exhausting. Production can test the mettle of even the most seasoned filmmaker. Film production, also known as principal photography, is when footage is captured for a film. It is often one of the briefer stages, since a budget can quickly skyrocket the longer it runs. For an indie film, production may not last longer than a couple weeks. We talk to director Tamra Davis (Billy Madison, Half Baked), DP Jarin Blashke (The Northman, The Lighthouse), and 2nd AD Pete Dress (No Country for Old Men, King Richard) to get their insights into how to survive production. PLANNING THE FILM PRODUCTION PROCESS The majority of planning for production occurs during pre-production, but production is a constantly morphing entity, so planning continues until the last day. These logistics are overseen by the production department, including the line producer and the production manager, who ensure that things on set are going off without a hitch. The first and second assistant directors are responsible for making sure the crew stays on time and within budget. They also create the call sheets for each day, which outlines who needs to be where when. THE SETTING UP PROCESS OF FILMMAKING The camera doesn’t simply start rolling when the crew’s rolled out of bed and shown up on set. The grip department will oversee any rigging that is necessary for a scene, including camera rigs and light rigs. But the grip department doesn’t deal with the actual lights themselves; that is overseen by the gaffer. Meanwhile, the production designer and set dresser make sure that the set is ready for filming. The actors will get prepped by the makeup department, and put into their outfit by the costume department. The actors will then go through blocking with the director. SHOOTING IN FILM PRODUCTION When it’s time for cameras to roll, the assistant director will call for quiet on set, and the production sound mixer and camera operator will start rolling. The clapper loader will slate, and the director will call “Action.” To end the take, the director will then say cut. Then everyone rinses and repeats– going on until the crew has got enough footage for a movie. #FilmTheory #VideoEssay #Filmmaking ───────────────────── ♬ SONGS USED: "Cyberpunk Sunrise" - Evgeny Bardyuzha "The Land of the Rus" - Robin Carolan, Sebastian Gainsborough "Density Wave" - Notize "Life's Journey Begins" - idokay "1986" - Angel Salazar "All Star" - ANBR "British News Team" - Lance Conrad "New World" - Ian Post "Full Access" - Jimmy Svensson "Binary Love" - Stanley Gurvich "Dojo Tradition (Instrumental)" - In This World "Animātiō" - Mike Steele "Inquisitions" - Kevin Graham "A Moon Walk (Instrumental)" - Yehezkel Raz "In Motion" - Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross "Double Espresso" - Francesco D'Andrea "You Never Can Tell" - Chuck…

Filmmakers who work on the (ever smaller) slate of major studio movies are dealing with risk-averse execs and a still wobbly distribution environment, with their films sitting in the larger ecosystem of publicly traded parent companies. And if a movie flops with critics or at the box office, they’re the first to get sentenced to movie jail.
