https://lnkd.in/eqDkH56p Hey! I am Yury Teplyakov, a filmmaker, screenwriter and producer who escaped from Putin's Russia with my son, because because of my opposition activities and denunciation of the criminal annexation of Crimea by FSB officers in 2014, I miraculously escaped arrest and had to hide for more than 7 years. Our evacuation, which was prepared by many people and our friends from around the world for a year and a half, is a separate story about which I will also make the film "Two Tickets" but later and perhaps also with your help. Now we are living in France and we started blogging about our daily life on YouTube and I invite you to our UTOPIST channel so that you can better get to know me and my son Vladimir, and I'm trying to finish my debut feature film in the genre of crime drama "The Green Lamp", which I managed to shoot in 2011, but which got stuck at the post-production stage due to the fact that I lost the opportunity to finish it in Russia. I wrote the script, gathered more than 100 people, we developed the project, prepared everything necessary and shot all the necessary material for a 90-minute film in 42 shooting days over the course of a year. Especially for my film, the famous composer Artyom Vasiliev, who worked on major film projects in Russia and the world, wrote music. We have re-voiced all the actors in the studio. We do computer graphics and I tell you about all the stages of working on the film on our UTOPIST YouTube channel. While already in France, my friends helped me make subtitles in French and English so that after the film was completed, I could participate in international film festivals and film distribution. But nevertheless, there is still important work to be done on sound, graphics and color correction, and for this I need your help. To complete the film in Russia, I needed about 30,000 euros, but now, while in France, I will try to finish the film much cheaper. So, for example, to do all the necessary work on sound - voice dubbing, sound design, noise design, mixing and mastering in 5.1 quality, I need only €3,000 and I already have a sound engineer. And I hope that I will also need no more than €5,000 for color correction. Therefore, I plan to finish the film completely if I can raise about €10,000 in total. I will publish various materials of the film and ask you to ask me questions so that I can explain everything to you. And if you think that my film "The Green Lamp" is worthy of being seen by the world, then I ask for your help in the form of reposts and, if possible, in the form of money that I can spend on completing the film. My son and I have money for life and development, you can see in our blog that everything is fine in our lives. But I am a director who has a lot of interesting projects in his plans, but first you need to finish the first one and get a reputation. And I really need your help! www.youtube.com/@utop1st Sincerely, filmmaker Yury Teplyakov

******this video contains mature and explicit fictional content***** This weekend has been very important for me professionally. I’ve made my debut as Film Director at an important local festival. The goal of the festival was clear: write, cast, produce, film and edit a 60sec short within 24 hs after getting a specific topic trigger. This year’s trigger: “is this really happening” With my crew we decided to go for a more conservative idea (production wise) but we still wanted to make an impact on the audience. Even though we weren’t able to make it within the top 3 shorts (out of 24), we did have a great and positive reaction from the audience. 24 hours later, I’ve gotten a million ideas on how to improve this short, in changes I should’ve made and such, but I want to share what we’ve presented at the festival, flaws and everything. I want you to see what we did with nothing more than an old camera and sheer passion, no fancy equipment nor time to fancy post production magic. Be advised, this is an explicit piece with sensitive images and a strong topic. Without further rambling I give you “Void” (Vacío).

Making Voice-Over Work Successfully in Film 🎙️ Contrary to certain schools of thought in cinema, I am not opposed to the use of voice-over—which is much more criticized in films than in series, as long as used thoughtfully. Its effectiveness hinges on a few key principles: (1) The voice-over does not paraphrase the action shown on screen. It should never merely describe what’s already visible. (2) The voice-over is well-characterized. Many writers forget to give it a personality, especially when the voice-over does not belong to any identifiable figure in the story. Writers must treat the voice-over as a character in its own right, with a unique tone, attitude, and worldview. However, a well-defined voice-over enriches the narrative rather than detracting from it. (3)The voice-over is not overly verbose. Cinema is a visual art, and what is shown on screen should take precedence over what is spoken. Overloading a film with lengthy narration undermines its power. Hence, voice-overs should be used sparingly and strategically, enhancing the visuals rather than overshadowing them.

|Dialogue Writer| Screenwriter| Ad Film| Lyricist | Copywriter| Digging Facts Of Indian Cinema & Cricket|
👀The debate of ART vs COMMERCIAL CINEMA is a never-ending story On-screen, a commercial movie looks so simple with a basic/expected plot line, but when you sit to write a pure MASALA ENTERTAINER, it actually gives you pain from head to toe. Catering to audiences of all age groups and genders is not a easy-cheesy task as one thinks. In Masala Entertainmers, crafting those elevated scenes, those damn-good dialogues and punches, groovy tracks, and item numbers is not everyone's cup of tea. Such films actually create trust between producers and writers, the amount of whistles, hootings and claps decide the business. Let's be very frank, ART CINEMA has its separate fan base where everyone is appreciated for their performances, but it is a survival game. On the other hand, Commercial Cinema fulfills the ambitions. After all, cinema has been a business game since its origin otherwise tickets were only implemented in commercial movies, not the art ones. . . .

Trends and Challenges in Nordic Screen IndustriesYesterday, I participated in a highly informative event organized by Aalto University, where Professor Eva Novrup Redvall, Head of the Department of Film Studies and Creative Media Industries at the University of Copenhagen, discussed the financing of drama films.What particularly stood out was how in Denmark, filmmakers and TV series creators are encouraged to get to know their audience, which can ensure the success of their work in the market.Eva also talked about investing in locality. In Denmark, funding is given to instances in different regions of the country to develop local film production on top of the national support.I was interested in Eva's view on the language spoken in films, whether there's a desire in Denmark to make films in their own language. Her answer was an emphatic yes. They first make films for their own country's audience, trusting that locality is an asset in international distribution and makes the work unique.In Denmark, they invest heavily in the idea development and scriptwriting phase. They believe this is the most cost-effective way to achieve interesting results.In developing drama series, they have also used a method where all key creators work together in a shared "hotel" to facilitate smoother exchange of ideas.Denmark also has a national Film Agreement where politicians agree on the guidelines for the industry every four years.#dancingbearsfilms#sounddesign

1000% THIS -- Practice makes BETTER! I often speak about this when talking with folks who are either starting out or looking to up their game. Companion advice to this is: Build your personal library! Record and catalog at least one sound a day! Get to know your strengths (and build on them) as well as your weaknesses (and improve them)! Can't overcome a creative block? Lock yourself in a room and don't come out until you've conquered it.

Many of us believe that mainstream entertainment is the only path to discovering quality storytelling. This perspective often leads to binge-watching the latest blockbuster series and overlooking independent films that offer fresh narratives and unique cultural insights. However, while this mainstream approach provides access to widely popular content, it can also limit our exposure to diverse voices and stories from around the world. Audiences might miss out on powerful independent films that tackle subject matters and experiences not found in commercial cinema. On the flip side, embracing only independent cinema may seem like a revolutionary choice, but it sometimes comes with its own drawbacks. It can be challenging to find good indie films, and viewers might struggle with accessibility or feel overwhelmed by options that aren't widely advertised. Finding a happy medium can enrich our viewing experience. Consider balancing your time between mainstream and independent films. Enjoy classic blockbusters while also setting aside moments to explore indie gems. To implement this balanced approach, you could create a viewing schedule. Dedicate specific nights for indie films and celebrate film festivals or local screenings. Join online communities that recommend hidden treasures alongside popular titles. Finding this balance is essential for appreciating storytelling in all its forms. What indie films have you discovered that left an imprint?
