You're exploring video production options. How can you match artistic vision with available technology?

Every stories contain ideas of individuals. Do you know BB ki vines, If you don't, go for the search. He made one series called Dhindora. In which you sees the vision of BB. How everything is planned and blead. You can also do that but first you have to start from somewhere. How? Think, DM has the answer!

One thing that I found helpful is storyboarding. It allows you to imagine a scene in bifurcation of pictures. And those pictures exactly imitate how the scene would be acted upon, which help in selection of gear afterwards, like which lens to use, which camera, which kind of shot is needed. Including this, preplanning of everyscene including montages if any, because if you and your crew would already have a potrayal of what will the scene look like, it is easier to reach to final end product as everyone is geared towards reaching out to the same end goal. It is not only the director's vision they have to follow. They know what to do because it has been well communicated through storyboarding

Best way to get artistic vision with available technology is that one can get the idea of the frames by taking help of some ‘Generative Text to Image’ application or websites to get an idea of the frames for story boarding. I have tried Runway gen 2 other on discord channels which gave me pretty good idea about my stories!

If I were creating a stone statue, I might choose a chisel. If I were creating a wooden box, I might choose a hammer & nails. But do I want the statue to have harsh angles and rough edges or smooth surfaces and subtle transitions? Do I want it be dark and ominous? This might effect the color of the stone or the size of the statue itself. Or if I want box to portray elegance I may choose a darker hardwood and brass fastening hardware. All of this is the same in our world of video production. What story are we telling and how do we want to tell it. Who are we telling it to. How do we want it to be seen, heard or remembered? Within the heart of any creation you should find a piece of its creator as well as the tools used to create it.

This is the most important part for anyone not in a Union workflow where budget isn't an issue. Budget needs to be the first thing talked about - how much do you have and what can be done for that? If you need more items, then you either need to find money or rework the concept based on the available funds. You can get away with doing grand things for a lower price maybe, but it will come down to the crew involved rather than the gear in most cases. Your DP may not have a drone, but may be able to provide you with an alternative that could look better and still work in your range.

Honestly, budget restrictions can really boost creativity. Like, when you don’t have the money to throw in all the details, fancy software, or even extra people for different tasks, you’ve got to make decisions. And in my experience, those decisions always push you to get more creative. When you can’t just buy your way through a project, you’re forced to think outside the box, and that’s where some of the best ideas come from.

Tout a fait, mais c est vis versa aussi. Mais il est toujours préférable de faire maximiser sur la qualité technique et par la suite quand les moyen viendront on déploiera tout son expertise technique et artistique a parti des fond a disposition

Balancing budget and creativity is crucial in video production. Focus on affordable technology that aligns with your client’s vision while maximizing quality. Strategic investment in key equipment can elevate your project without overspending. Leverage creative techniques to turn financial constraints into unique storytelling elements. Ultimately, innovation within your means drives impactful results.

Adipurush is best example of Budget Planning? From last 1 years I was working with a new YouTuber. He made skite, short film, songs. One day I was talking to him about the video quality improvement, Then He replied to me, "I know what you are saying?, But I don't have that much bread(Money) because I planned how I can provide videos and breads are necessary at for starting." So he planned how he can make videos because starting is necessary, budget can make you videos looks rich but you don't know the process budget will use for smoke. Best Example is Adipurush (You can laugh.)

Knowing the process is helpful. In January, I joined a podcast team as an video editor, Their I learn studio setup, communication, content research and new tools and software. It helps me give ideas to non-technical people, Who wanted grow but they don't have proper person to work with him. You can learn this.(Time is necessary.) How? -DM will help you best

To get to know new things is very important especially in a creative field like us. Few month ago i got a chance to meet a colourist for a project work. when i saw the the colour panels he was using excited me a lot.

For a documentary project we were tasked with bringing alien races to life on a very minimal budget. AI had been in the news so client expectations were high, however the tech wasn't quite ready...hurry up Sora. So we had to develop our own workflow to bring together all the current tech, deep diving into all of it, to create what was at the time images that had never been done before. No one piece of tech done the job, it was a collaboration between many to get the results. So don't let tech hold you back, sometimes you'll have to be the trailmaker and forge the pathway yourself.

Read reviews and watch tutorials to understand the capabilities and limitations of each piece of equipment. If possible, try out the equipment before making a purchase. Many stores offer rental options or demo units.

Don't adapt your vision to the current tech, adapt the tech to your vision. It's important to be up to date but following trends will always limit the potential of a project. Mastering the tech is a way to limit your dependence to it.

Movies play important roles in my life. I am 22 years old, I watched lot of movies, some of makes me strong, some of makes me emotional, some of makes me angry, some of makes me nothing. It's all about my eye system, I used to watch Bollywood movies but when I knew there is original which the great, I stop wasting times on Bollywood. Listen making similar thing is not bad but if it feels that you are trying then people will go for original. I do adaptation while I edit, but my approach is to enhance not to overuse. Do you why? .... Think how Dm works?

Whatever budget you have, you always have to look for the most cost effective way to make your project. Embrace all limits and constraints, they make you work better. That being said, when the budget is inconsistent with the needs of the project, you must either adapt the ambition to the budget or refuse it all together

You should see technology as yet another tool that allows you to make your vision come true. If your vision is a lot more advanced than what tech allows for, adjust both your vision and your tech tool to work on your side. It may not be picture perfect but it will definitely make your vision a lot more of a reality. Adjust and see how technology can help you with your video production.

Always maintain a high level of curiosity especially to yourself and they how’s and why’s you’re creating the thing you’re creating. Deep and consistent introspection always leans to a better result to put out into the world. Profitable? Who knows. Worthwhile? Hell yes.

Crane Shot vs. Drone: If a drone isn’t available, a crane or jib can achieve similar high-angle shots. For smaller budgets, a handheld gimbal or even a monopod can provide smooth, dynamic movements.

Estudar, estudar, estudar, estudar... é a única maneira de se destacar no meio da multid?o. Conhecimento n?o ocupa espa?o e é algo que nunca v?o tirar de você.

Sharpening your skills isn’t just about learning new tools—it’s about unlocking new creative possibilities. In filmmaking, the more you master your gear, the more you can push the boundaries and surprise yourself with what’s possible. It’s not just about playing the notes; it’s about creating a symphony that sings. Invest the time, and watch your vision come to life in ways you didn’t expect.

I remember one incident when I was stuck in a project midway as i had litter skill in motion graphics. Then i posted the same on social media. following a reply from a random stranger who asked to help in the project. The collaboration went great and the project turned out to be great.

This is an awesomely unique one. No idea is a good or bad idea. It’s just a spark to hopefully share amongst creative collaborators who genuinely care about their work and care for one another. Collaboration - good collaboration - sits at the highest seat of human creativity.

This reminds me of something I heard Mr. Beast talk about in a YouTube video. Early on, he surrounded himself with a small group of friends who were equally obsessed with mastering the platform. Every day, they were all hitting it on all cylinders—sharing ideas, dissecting failures, and building on each other’s successes. He attributes much of his success to that collaboration, explaining that it allowed them to accomplish in one year what might have taken six if they’d gone solo. That’s the power of leveraging other perspectives—it accelerates your growth and opens up creative possibilities you might not reach on your own.

Collaboration is a great way to get inspired. I find it is essencial to meet likeminded people and change opinions and learn from each other. Lets be honest, we are all nerds. Photographers together speak mainly about cameras, lenses and editing softwares, film makers speak about last productions, equipment and so on. I have learnt so much from others on my way. And I am always happy to meet other photographers and film makers.
