>>3128864>I would say it takes 10 years to make a good colorist and 10 years to make a good re-recording mixer. So it's not something you can just "learn".You don't need 10 years of experience for a short film.
https://vimeo.com/222688948You just need to make your shit not look like shit. You are gonna try to argue otherwise but the fact is that plenty of short films that garner attention and kick start careers didn't have professionals with 10 years of experience working behind them in sound mixing or coloring.
All you are doing is dumping money in the hopes that it will elevate your work to some higher level. To make your stuff look as good as most award winning films all you need is to spend a couple weekends learning how to color grade. Most directors will tell you that you should at least have an understanding of every field so there is really no reason why you shouldn't be doing all of this shit in some of your films.
>>3128874>The best you could probably do on your own is The Puffy Chair (Duplass brothers' first feature). But some people have higher standards frankly.Why not Following by nolan? A budget of 6,000 because he was his own cinematographer and lit many scenes with natural light and didn't higher a tv DOP that highered 3fucking50 a day.
You don't need an Arri Alexa, imagine if every indie filmmaker from the 90s wasted money shooting on 35mm instead of 16mm. The reality is that people don't have the high standards you think they do, look at the video quality 28 days later or the 360 quality of those thai insurance commercials.
If you can't make a short film with 6,000 that captures peoples attention, no amount of money being dumped into itto make it "professional standard" is gonna help. Invest that money in buying a book about writing.
