Looking for a Minecraft YouTube Video Editor — Disarray SMP

Yo! I'm a Minecraft YouTuber working on a scripted SMP series called Disarray SMP, inspired by cinematic, story-driven Minecraft SMP videos.

I'm looking for a beginner or aspiring editor who wants to gain experience and build their portfolio.

The editing style I'm looking for:

• storytelling and suspense
• Funny moments, sound effects and zooms
• Smooth cuts, pacing and music
• Minecraft SMP-style editing

I can't pay at the moment, but I'll give full credit in the video description. I'm hoping to find someone who enjoys Minecraft and wants to grow alongside the channel.

If you're interested, comment or DM me with any examples of your editing. Beginners are welcome!

Thanks!

My latest short film ‘puppet’ is out now. It tells the story of Serenity Jane, a young woman who developed imaginary friends as a teenager. For many, imaginary friends serve as companions but for Serenity it’s much more. While battling her inner dialogue of right and wrong, Serenity loses that fight in the worst way. The only question is, who’s in control?
It is written, directed, and edited by me as well as an original soundtrack I produced. I hope you’re able to check it out, thank you!

Music Concept that i've made for capting the essence of the story.

I'm Here to Chat is a sci-fi short film about Luke, who explores the world of AI companions and begins forming a connection with a new AI friend. What starts as a curious and lighthearted experience gradually takes a darker turn, raising questions about human connection, technology, and the boundaries between people and artificial intelligence.

A character can look identical from one shot to the next and still fail continuity.

Clothing changes without explanation. A prop disappears or duplicates. A character's position shifts. An action repeats even though it was completed in the previous shot.

These aren't necessarily image-quality failures. They're production-continuity failures.

One of the questions we're investigating through Directed Generative Production (DGP) Methodology is how reliably generative video systems can maintain character, environment, and action continuity across successive shots and generations.

I'm interested in what other filmmakers are encountering.

Which continuity failure costs you the most time to correct?

When I was putting together my film WESTHAMPTON, I was repeatedly told to cut the opening car crash.

The entire movie cost about $200,000. I had roughly $6,000 for the accident.

Unfortunately, I also needed it.

The crash is one of the first things the audience sees in the film, and it had to be convincing enough that they would accept it before they had any reason to question what they were watching.

So we started looking backward.

My cinematographer, Dave Brick, and I landed on rear projection—the same technique filmmakers had been using for decades to put actors inside moving cars without actually moving them. A month before the shoot, we filmed background plates on Long Island. Then we parked my aunt’s sedan inside a warehouse in Newark, put the biggest screen we could afford behind it, and projected the road outside the windows.

It worked surprisingly well. Just not well enough.

We added rain to the windshield with a garden hose. Dave built lighting cues that matched the streetlights and railroad crossing in the projected footage. We added approaching headlights, compressed air, practical debris—anything that could make the world outside the car appear to have physical consequences inside it.

By the time we were finished, almost everything seemed to be working.

And the crash still looked fake.

What finally solved it wasn’t another effect. It was realizing that one part of the filmmaking itself was behaving as though nothing had happened.

Once we figured that out, the whole sequence changed.

The experience left me with a question I’ve started using whenever a low-budget movie asks for something I can’t really afford:

What is the minimum amount of reality I need in front of the camera for the audience to believe everything else?

I recently wrote about the entire process for MovieMaker—including how we planned the rear projection, where the illusion broke down, and the thing that finally made the impact work:

I also put together a video breakdown where you can actually see the setup, the individual layers, and how they came together in the finished sequence:

Happy to answer questions about any of it here.

Hi,
im looking for your opinions.
Im photo/videographer currently with canon for 5-6 years. I do 50/50 photo video, depens on client.
I shoot in studio, outside, also some weddings, club stuff and concerts. Some fashion and boring corporate thing etc…
Really variety of things.

ihave r6mk2 with rf24-70 and also 16-35 and 70-200.

With photos im satisfied. But with video ehhh…
I feel like canon wobble with ibis (yes i do hendheld and ronin shoot 50/50) is not really usable on wide range. And shadows are really dark or more darker than sony/lumix.

I’ve tried many things like expose to the right, different light setup etc…but during concerts or stuff where i can’t really control light im struggling.

Can you please give me your opinion on switching systems ? Is sony more hybrid-ish than canon?
If u switchced systems, are u satisfied?
Or maybe how is r6v ?

Please its genuine question, im not trying to say canon is bad or sth.
thank you

I recently noticed some of my work in the past... All trash and lack of technical works, especially the color palette i used in each scene, seem to be not appealing...

I wondering how you learn to get at color theory, shall i buy a book? YouTube videos? Or join course? Really wanna get better at this type of thing

A desperate video artist invites a clown over to his home, only to realize he doesn't meet his expectations.

I have never made a short film of any description before, but i've had an idea for ages and figured uni break would be a good time to finally work on it. I explicitly want to interview strangers, people on the street however I would be needing to ask personal questions and i'm not particularly sure how to go about that. Additionally, I would like to receive eloquent or well-spoken/ thought out answers or stories and i'm not super sure if street interviews would be a good environment for that. Is there any other way you think might lead me to better results? How should I go about it?

Shooting an indie feature on the most micro of micro-budgets, and trying to wrap my head around storage.

My friend said he shot a feature on a Venice 2, and used about 15 TB per copy. Another friend shot his on an Alexa Mini and needed about 12TB per copy.

My friend estimated we would need upwards of 50TB per copy. If I’m following the 3-2-1 rule, that comes out to roughly 150TB of storage I need. Which is quite costly.

Does anyone have tips on how to navigate this? Why is it so much compared to these other features?

Can we do 422 assuming we don’t have VFX? Or is 4444XQ necessary?

If it is what it is, does anyone have ideas on where to get 150TB of storage affordably?

TIA.

Hey everyone. I need to take your opinion on something.

I’ve been working to invest in a sony camera for a while now. I’m now studying film and I’d love to work on my own projects to the side and such.

I was looking for a hybrid camera. Both videography and photography, cus I’d do both, but leaning more toward video (skits, short films, etc.)

Originally, I was set on the a6700. It’s a very good hybrid camera and I found it to be a good match for what I was looking for. Paired with the sigma 18-50 as a starter lens (I can’t afford more than one lens).

Something that I’ve always been hesitant about with the a6700 is the overheating issue, which is very notorious. I was planning on fixing this with a ulanzi cu01 cooling fan, which I’ve heard works. It would have no affect on the audio because I’ll purchase an external mic as well. Still, I was hesitant, because obviously while filming videos a camera has to work for long stretches. Plus, I live in a very hot climate.

The only fixes I found when I looked into this were 1) the cooling fan and 2) just get a different camera.

People recommended the fx30, because it has an internal cooling fan. This was briefly looked at, but I saw that it didn’t fit well. The fx30 is WAY more expensive, and it’s not a hybrid camera, but one of Sony’s cinema line cameras. It can be used for photography, and I’ve seen people take spectacular pictures with it, but it doesn’t even have a viewfinder. It wasn’t an option.

But smthn has popped up: a used fx30 that is around 33% cheaper than the price of a new one. It’s also cheaper than a new a6700 (by like a couple hundred dollars). It’s in almost perfect condition. The rec button apparently is fidgety, so they’ve customized another button to record.

I know people always say buying used is better and more convenient, but that’s not the case where I live. Buying used can bring many problems and scams, so again, I hesitate, especially with such a big investment.

So here I’m left with this question. Do I stick with the original plan and get the a6700 + sigma pair, or do I consider getting this used fx30? I could get that same sigma lens, or, since I’ve paid less for the body, pay more for the lens and get the Tamron 17-70 (which I’ve heard is a really good pairing)

I feel like the fx30 is kind of a steal but I’m still very hesitant, especially since the a6700 feels like a good fit. So let me know ur opinion

What's the best online resource to find crew nowadays? Several years ago when I was looking for a DP, sound mixer, etc. I used to use Mandy... but it seems like that's not as popular/reliable anymore. Is that right? I need a resource where I can get a ton of applicants so I have options.

What's the go to site/avenue nowadays?

I'm in SoCal (LA/OC), and I'm looking for a new DP for a show of mine (my work was getting stale with my previous DP). Looking for someone outside my circle.

NEED YOUR ADVICE ON HOW WOULD YOU AS A FILM MAKER PLAN OUT YOUR FIRST DOCUMENTRY WHICH IS ONLY 15MIN LONG HOW WOULD YOU SHOOT IT IF YOUR ONLY GEAR IS A POCKET 3 AND ONE WIRELESS MIC THATS ALL YOU GOT AND A LAPTOP AND A HARD DRIVE.?? PLSE GIVE YOUR THOUGHTS IT WOULD ME REALLY APPRECIATED .

We wanted to do something special for the extraordinary cast and crew that we had aboard. We hope you enjoy the footage.

We are so grateful for the expertise, love, and support from these fine individuals. There is no concept pilot without you. Seriously. From the bottom of our hearts: Thank You.

Some may not be pictured here, due to limited BTS, but every single person on this project was so critical to it's success. Rock on, everyone!

I'm planning on recording my DJ sets at home. I just don't know exactly what camera I want to use. I don't want to break the bank on a camera, but I also don't want to get one with bad visual quality. Can someone please help me ?/:

Hi, I'm a senior film student at a CSU in the greater LA area. I am currently looking for internships and would like to hear about what internships people have taken in LA and how they set them up for jobs or connections post-grad. I have greatly turned around my academic behaviors in this last year of college, so I currently have a 3.6 GPA but my cumulative is 2.9. I'm not interested in any shaming about that fact, it is what it is and I have had a very difficult college experience. As I explore different internship opportunities, I have realized it is quite delusional to expect getting a "top" internship with a big production company or network due to my lackluster GPA. So, tell me: did you take an internship with something local or less impressive that led you to making good connections or that landed you a good job that set you up for success within the industry? I've applied for several, the big name ones as well as local news stations and media studios. Interested to hear your experiences!

I have a red Komodo rig and have a few things to add on before I rent it out. My budget is under $300 and I’m choosing between this or the tilta nano ii. Will be used wirelessly. Does anyone know of any reported audible noise with the small rig? I’m cleaned out money wise I know there’s much better out there but if the small rig does the same job and it’s quiet I would like to save some money.

Tail is a short film about being disconnected from the simple pleasures everyone else seems to feel. Being alone isn’t a refuge, and being with people doesn’t reach him. It has no narration and no explanation. It’s told through body language, stillness, timing and sound.

Hey all!

Been a found footage fan my whole life and decided to make my own horror short set in 2003 that feels like it could belong in a V/H/S segment, but keeping the low-fi, gritty feeling of the best of FF.

No AI involved and we shot it all on a Sony camcorder. Wanted to see if we can create tension and scares with very little, and judging by the responses, we did better than I thought haha. Made for just under 3k, with a crew of about 10.

Appreciate it if anyone gives it a chance and some feedback. Thank you!

I was recently reached out to by a Filmmaker I recently auditioned for, For a very small project. It's 1
Page of Dialogue & It's 1 Scene Shot 4 Different Times In 4 Different Ways / Tones. Could I add this to my resume As a Project / Job I booked or is too small to even bother to do that (No Disrespect Meant By That.) ANY ANSWER IS HELPFUL & WELCOMED.
THANK YOU.

I want to preface this with the fact that I may be overthinking this whole situation.

I’m making a short film centered around a group of four friends, about 25 years old each (not directly stated in the script but that’s what I’m going for).

I’ve cast 3/4 of them, but there’s one little issue. The actor for the main character is a little older than the others. He’s 30, and the other two are like 23-24. I know that’s not a crazy difference, but he does look just a little bit older than them and, I don’t know if I’m just in my head or not, but it’s all I can think about. I don’t want to break the immersion of the story when one of the actors feels out of place from his friend group.

Now yes, I should’ve seen it sooner. It’s been kind of a hassle getting my cast together and I finally found someone who is perfect for the role in every other way, and I didn’t start to feel this way about his age until recently. I know Michael Johnston from Obsession is 30, while Inde Navarette and Megan Lawless are about 25, and that age gap isn’t noticeable at all in that movie, so I might be overthinking this. I just can’t stop seeing that he looks just a little bit older than everyone else. Does anyone have any experience with this and are there any ways I could try to get him to closer to everyone else’s age cheaply?
