Smart. Why waste time?

Priyatharshini R.
Posted 5 months ago

So true, never enough time

Darren F.
Posted 5 months ago

That was very impressive, having been on film sets, I can attest to how important it is to know what you want to get it done in a timely manner, way to go!

Peggy S.
Posted 5 months ago

Great work, guys. Glad you got the scene off in time, :)

Tessa V.
Posted 5 months ago

cool idea

Zoltan M.

By far the most creative take on this weeks mission:)

Tuyet P.
Posted 5 months ago

great work, super creative and fun to watch

Stephen N.
Posted 5 months ago

You guys have skillllllllllz very impressed:)

Mikaela Z.
Posted 5 months ago

Great idea, guys. Never enough time on a film set and that's easily the most expensive part of filmmaking, paying everyone cuz you went over.

Bart G.
Posted 5 months ago

I love the score in this little video too. The frantic fast forward. Well done guys, very satisfying video

Rosella W.
Posted 5 months ago

Excellent! It all comes down to timing, doesn't it? Timing has to be perfect; schedules have to work out for every actor needed in the scene. You can't spend too much time on filming one scene in an indie production, but you still want to spend enough time on each one in order to aim towards shooting the shots you visualized, which requires compromising & teamwork & patience.

Milan S.
Posted 5 months ago

What is the most expensive and precious thing? Yes it is time! You nailed it you guys! Good job! And your team seems very tight which is important!

AJ J.
Posted 5 months ago

Yup, well done guys. I love the "proof of life" photo down below, showing just how down to the wire everything was

Rob V.
Posted 5 months ago

thumbs up!

Vivian M.
Posted 5 months ago

Impressive. Coming well prepared to a shoot so that everything goes like clockwork will definitely help to stay on schedule - and on budget. Hopefully that leaves you some flex time to react to the unforeseen when it happens.

Rob E.
Posted 5 months ago

Nice work, you guys. That's fantastic, and totally true. Time is something you can never have enough of. Good luck

Jolene K.
Posted 5 months ago

1 minute in 15 you say??Nice

David S.
Posted 5 months ago

You guys are so right, time is absolutely the one thing you never have enough of and always forget about. Well said

Kerri S.
Posted 5 months ago

Yes! Time is Money! The ability to shoot a film within budget and use the time efficiently is definitely an asset.

Brenden K.
Posted 5 months ago

Great idea for the mission!

Mital G.
Posted 5 months ago

Demonstrates your skill and expertise very well. Bets of luck!

Mack B.
Posted 5 months ago

Very impressive. It probably could have used maybe another 15 mins though. I think the scene would have benefitted from that.

Sandra l.
Posted 5 months ago

Great job guys it really keeps your attention and shows your skill.

Roxanne M.
Posted 5 months ago

Having worked on a 30 second commercial for school I know how long it can take to shoot things. Well done.

Trevor G.
Posted 5 months ago

Stop watch filmmaking. an excellent idea

Donald Y.
Posted 6 months ago

An expensive scene. I cannot remember a scene being done in any TV production this quickly, although I have seen people who can get a scene in one take after a couple of hours set-up time. This was very good.

Sherry H.
Posted 6 months ago

Nice and to the point.

Valerie M.
Posted 6 months ago

fun stuff

Judy B.
Posted 6 months ago

Valid point, I like

Ian G.
Posted 6 months ago

Good job! I like your tricks

Paul J.
Posted 6 months ago

was the footage used for anything?

Patrick S.
Posted 6 months ago

Other than the scene at the end of the vid?

John B.
Posted 6 months ago

I think you rushed the shoot a bit too much, but good job getting it done super fast

Bill A.
Posted 6 months ago

Very cool, what is better than showing these tips in action!

Jean Marc S.
Posted 6 months ago

Good stuff!

Good try

Andy W.
Posted 6 months ago

Looks like a crew who knows what they're doing. Know what you want, and don't look back.

Milan S.
Posted 6 months ago

Very true. Time is money! This is a knows factor. Good for you to raise this to attention. Great work! All of your work!

Riley W.
Posted 6 months ago

Nice work guys! Time is cash money!
Efficiency is key to keeping costs low. Great job!

Nathan G.
Posted 6 months ago

That Hummer is money. Sell it and use the cash for feeding the crew. Seriously though - you're right - time is money.

TeamJessie P.
Posted 6 months ago

I am not completely convinced this would be good as a FULL length film but all the best- the concept is interesting

Loretta W.
Posted 6 months ago

Good luck with this. With this concept, it doesn't seem to leave time for reflection and study which seems more important somehow.

Timario M.
Posted 6 months ago

Effective... Do you think that will be realistic for a feature length film though? Let's find out!

Neirrod E.
Posted 6 months ago

A time bending 2:15 to show 15mins filmed in 1min :S

Mary G.
Posted 6 months ago

Clever idea. I quite enjoyed seeing the time lapse. Scam seems to have all the kinks worked out when it comes to productivity!

Filip S.

Love this!

Greg S.
Posted 7 months ago

Cool

Romy J.
Posted 7 months ago

Pretty cool intro, not sure about the acting

Patrick S.
Posted 6 months ago

I appreciate the honesty.

Tawni B.
Posted 7 months ago

Organization does wonders. Put's pressure on the actors too, they'd better get it right the first time :P Great job, you guys know what's up.

Phil B.
Posted 7 months ago

Well done, guys. And so true!

Georgia M.
Posted 7 months ago

Wow that's impressive! Efficiency is everything, especially when making a movie. Way to maximize your budget and stretch that dollar by refusing to waste anything!

Terran B.
Posted 7 months ago

Time is money! Very true. I would know, working in this industry. You guys are working really hard, very professional! Good idea for this mission!

Kim T.
Posted 7 months ago

Liked seeing how this worked!

Fraser C.
Posted 7 months ago

Time is money! The more efficient you can shoot the more you save. Sweet, looking great guys. The balance of shooting fast but not so fast that quality is lost. SWEET!

Colin T.
Posted 7 months ago

definitely agree, time is money, simple but effective approach.

Maggie G.
Posted 7 months ago

nice idea but actors not strong

Patrick S.

Ann B.
Posted 7 months ago

well done

Gina .
Posted 7 months ago

good to see you put a lot of work into these missions!

Kendall R.
Posted 7 months ago

Good job, guys. I liked the concept

Jenna R.
Posted 7 months ago

Game plan is key... depends on how many elements you're working with.. Your story doesn't necessitate elaborate make up or animals or children, you know... things that eat up a lot of pre shooting time. Way to keep it simple

Natalie B.
Posted 7 months ago

Yes. I love technology!

Foxbase A.
Posted 7 months ago

well played

Cara -.

neat trick

Dana B.
Posted 7 months ago

Nickolas B.
Posted 7 months ago

The things you can accomplish in just fifteen minutes! That was fantastic! Nice job everyone, well done! That director just killed it! Very entertaining! Keep it up!

Peter C.
Posted 7 months ago

ok well the point of time is money is nothing new, the focus was on know what you want in advance. Make some recommendations to newbies on how they can accomplish. A simple task list, list of scenes, props what needs to be done would help. I think basic organizational skills make a difference of making or loosing money.

Todd M.
Posted 7 months ago

Great point: Time IS money. Lesson #1 for any newbies out there!

interesting

Frank D.
Posted 7 months ago

cool concept

Jason G.
Posted 7 months ago

Love it! Shoot fast! If you know what you are doing you will get what you want. No need for 4 takes and 3 angles of each piece.

Darren p.
Posted 7 months ago

great job!

Araxi K.

Such a cool story and movie! So true!

Vanessa W.

Great to show what you can do with 15 min.

Mickey B.
Posted 7 months ago

That boom guy sure is funny looking.

Katie T.
Posted 7 months ago

Love the Rodrigues approach - works. Part of me wishes filmmaking wasn't so rush, rush and long days - humane filmmaking would be more productive in my opinion. But I rant. Go nuts in the spirit of "Rebel without a Crew"!

Shelley O.
Posted 7 months ago

neat trick

Matt S.
Posted 7 months ago

I love your approach. I really do, but the results of that scene being shot in 15 minutes are a little less polished than I was hoping for. Maybe give yourself 20 min :)

Cai G.
Posted 7 months ago

would still liked to have seen monitary tricks

Justina P.
Posted 7 months ago

wow, packed a lot in there in a short time!

Cynthia T.
Posted 7 months ago

Although I thoroughly enjoyed the idea of having the scene filmed quickly, I wish you would have made it just a bit slower so i could have understood what was happening?
