How To Make A Movie (For Beginners)

moviewise 🎟 — Tue, 03 May 2022 14:46:07 GMT

I made a movie! Yes, it’s just an 12 minute short, and yes it’s an animated comedy. I also made it entirely on my desktop computer, on a Mac with Apple software that comes bundled with it. And I think it’s pretty great.

Here it is for your viewing pleasure:

Click to watch “It’s ALL Good Times” S1, E1 “Cold Turkey”

Basically, I sent myself to my own homemade film school by watching YouTube videos from screenwriters, analyzing how jokes, puns, and visual gags work in movies, and by joining a group of other aspiring screenwriters to share and give feedback on our writing on Discord (leave a comment below if you would like to join).

Here is what I learned:

1) Joining a writing group is indispensable. You must get feedback from others, and no one outside of other screenwriters is interested in reading your movie scripts. Build a group that includes at least one other person who has the passion, the drive, and the interest in meeting regularly, about once a week, to go over each other’s writing.

Without getting feedback, you’re really setting yourself up to getting entrenched with your ideas such that you won’t be able to accept any constructive criticism or adapt any changes because in your mind everything is set in stone. The characters are what they are and they do what they do, and you can’t imagine changing even a hair. This is not good if you want to grow as a writer.

When people give you feedback, it may feel bad because they’ve found issues or problems, but this is actually very precious, valuable information that can help you become a better storyteller. When people give you feedback they are really revealing what segments of a large audience would feel, where they may get confused, what is unappealing, and what may work even better.

Unless you have a super sense of what an audience wants and you can deliver it—or you simply don’t care to have an audience, so only what you want matters—then you need someone else to give you their honest opinion about your work. And, furthermore, you need to be able to change your script to correct any issues that are brought up so that it’s more appealing to more people. Even if you don’t think the movie I made is very good, I guarantee you that without the writing group, it would be much worse.

2) Regarding the writing, there are some very clear guidelines about structuring a story and about how to layout a script. The three act hero’s journey is standard. The creators of the animated sitcom South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone offer this advice:

End Act I with some BIG news, i.e. the inciting incident, an event that sets everything into motion and eventually builds to a climax.
Act II must culminate/end in the climax. Think of the worst thing that could happen to the main character, and then find a solution to the dilemma.
Act III, the denouement, resolves/unties plot points and often ends with a cliffhanger that sets up the rest of the series, which then explores any changes to the main character.

Screenwriters Rob Hoegee and Grant Moran further advise that for an 11 minute animated show, the final script should be 15 pages long. It’s amazing how precise that turns out to be! They also suggest that the writer use the inciting incident to create a goal for the main character, the hero. And moreover, the episode should contain a series of three or so attempts by the character to achieve that goal with rising emotional or physical stakes culminating in a moment of success that then unravels, leaving the hero at the lowest point, facing disaster. But then something happens, therefore something else happens, and the protagonist makes one last attempt, gets a second wind and, in a comedy, a happy resolution ensues where the hero achieves the goal.

3) A movie is a collection of equally important parts. Before making this 11 minute animated short, I had the mistaken idea that all you really needed was a script, and by script I meant dialogue. But a script is more than just a transcript of the words spoken by the characters. A script includes action scene descriptions that visually show the environment and what the characters do. It turns out that this is equally important. The adage is “show, don’t tell,” but silent movies, which are all “show” aren’t popular anymore. The dialogue in movies is what fans remember. The dialogue is critical, but a barebones play on a black stage is not as fun as one with elaborate, colorful sets. The visuals, which includes what the characters and their environments look like, are critical. A movie script, therefore, needs in equal parts, good scene descriptions and good dialogue.

But, wait, there’s more! Another equally important part to the visuals and the dialogue is the transitions, the pauses, or beats, between scenes and within dialogue. A well timed pause can make or break a scene. It can be the difference between a funny or boring moment. It’s incredible. You have the look, the words, but if you don’t give the audience time to absorb what they are seeing by putting in a pause, they miss the joke, or the touching emotion, or the suspense. Equally important to the positive space is the negative space. What an interesting discovery! It’s like a law of nature. Isn’t this true in everything? We’re like fractals, endlessly encountering the same forces acting on us!

And there is still one more part: the sound effects and the music. Again, equally important to the visuals, the dialogue, and the transitions, is the sound. What the audience hears sets the mood, informs or accentuates the visuals, clarifies the intent of the characters. Again, a scene can be made or broken by what the audience hears in the background, even after having everything else in place.

In other words, a movie is magic. It’s simply amazing that so many great, wonderful movies exist. But of course, if you’ve ever seen the credits on anything, the list is long. Which brings us to the the next lesson learned.

4) Making a movie is hard. The level of organization you need to make an 11 minute animated movie is far beyond what is needed for many other projects. There are so many parts, or assets, that you need to create and keep track of: the images, the sound effects, the music, the dialogue, the transition cards, the text, the font, the colors, the brightness, the contrast, the length, the camera movement —and you need to edit all of these things together using different software and managing multiple large files. It’s an endeavor. And this is just for an amateur independent, or indie, production. Imagine having to do this on a full length movie of over an hour, while having executives, producers, managers, or others breathing down your neck and demanding things be done on a deadline, their way!

5) I can only extrapolate on this next point because I am not a professional filmmaker, but the 2009 documentary, Tales from the Script has some very hard lessons for aspiring screenwriters:

Your scripts will be changed.
You will have to find your own path.
There will be constant rejection.
It’s a business that responds to market pressures and your reputation as a moneymaker.
You have to pitch and sell your own script, which may take five years.
You can sell a script for a lot of money ($300,000 – $1,750,000)
You will have to start the whole process again after your first success; previous success does not guarantee future success.
You need perseverance.
You will need to build multiple personal relationships to get ahead.
If you really want your voice and your idea turned into a movie, without any compromises, you have to direct, produce and write it yourself.
You can get fired at any time.
You should not define your identity solely on your work.
Screenwriting is a full-time job.
You will likely have to write multiple drafts of the same thing, e.g. 46 for the 1984 movie “Amadeus”.
You truly have to love writing, love movies, and love storytelling. Otherwise, you will not survive.

This is a tough, competitive business, and it additionally may come with a side of treachery, e.g. studios or other writers stealing your script ideas, not to mention sexual harassment, and/or other forms of abuse or exploitation.

What a mad, mad world to want to enter, and yet how alluring. Why? Because what else can afford you the opportunity to create something in your mind’s eye and see it come to physical fruition, like a god creating worlds? Even just doing a table read, where others read your script out loud, and do some voice acting if you’re lucky, can be exhilarating. It’s something that allows you to say, “I wrote that!” “It’s alive!” “This idea that only existed in my mind came to life!” Yes—that feels good.

It is incredibly gratifying to tell a story and be able to watch it with your own eyes. You are simultaneously the storyteller and the audience. That should not be possible, but it is because of a lot of wonderful technology, which is widely available and relatively cost effective, particularly considering how difficult and expensive it was to make a move 30, 50, 80 years ago.

Now, honestly, anyone can make their own movie, on an iPhone, even!

Remember what Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple Inc., once said, “you can build your own things.” So please, go tell your own story.

Logline: Inspired by the news from a messenger pigeon named Davie Attenbirdie, young Aura Air Owl tries to change the world.

Who? Who? Who? — You’ll see

Click to watch “Cold Turkey” Season 1, Episode 1

The Main Characters: Three young owl siblings and a “television”

Davie Attenbirdie—a messenger pigeon with a “press” pass—is a David Attenborough-like character who drops by to deliver the day’s news by perching on a large window, the “television,” in the owlet’s home.

Who is Davie Attenbirdie ?

Davie Attenbirdie is the voice of the world, delivering information to the denizens of “Hoo Hills.” When Davie Attenbirdie is not dropping by to read off the daily news, the owlets enjoy looking out the same window at the shapes of the clouds, waving to neighbors that fly by, and seeing for themselves what’s going on down in the valley.

Davie Attenbirdie also occasionally steps in to narrate short factoids over a freeze frame of a bird character when it first appears in a scene. The bite-sized educational tidbits about individual bird species can easily be gathered from sources like The Cornell Lab of Ornithology or the National Audubon Society. For example, when the owlet’s neighbor, a wild turkey, is first seen in an episode, Davie Attenbirdie steps into the frame like a news reporter with the following narration: “Turkeys use their strong, large feet to scratch the ground in search of food like nuts and berries.” In another episode featuring this neighbor or different turkey, a new factoid is revealed.

Aura Air Owl: An innocent, gentle, naive girl who wants to be helpful, kind, and generous—but all her good intentions backfire and lead to unexpected problems. Her catchphrase is, “Hey, I think I did that!” when noticing the events she put into motion while trying to be helpful.

Who is Aura Air Owl ?

Aura Air Owl is our sweet, earnest, and well-meaning hero who wants to change the world for the better! She is the eldest of the owl siblings, who all reside in a simple log cabin outfitted with items typically found in a home, including a living room with a colorful round rug and a large window that they look out of while sitting on the floor. The owlets live with their parents, who are unseen except for their legs, in a town known as “Hoo Hills.”

Aura Air Owl absurdly commits 100% to any idea she gets from the “television” news, often resulting in unfortunate and unforeseen outcomes. She remains undaunted, however, and is ready to be inspired and try something new the next day. She just wants to make others happy, but her overzealous nature and misunderstandings constantly bring about the opposite response in those she interacts with—except for her siblings, because they understand her. However, all is not lost, since there is always a happy resolution in the end. Aura Air Owl cannot help the original character she intended to help, but she incidentally helps another.

What does Aura Air Owl want ?

She wants everyone around her to be happy, to smile, to feel joy—just like she does. She believes that if she can be helpful to others that it will make them feel glad so that they will want to play games and have fun with her. But she is unable to get the cheerful, friendly reaction she wants from those she tries to help. In fact, they usually get mad. She doesn’t have a wide range of emotions. When her attempts fail, she is simply surprised and tilts her head as she tries to understand what just happened in an intellectual rather than an emotional way, like an observer.

Golden Glen Owl: Comic relief. Always there to offer a joke or funny take when the actions that Aura Air Owl takes backfire.

Who is Golden Glen Owl ?

Golden Glen Owl is the younger sibling of Aura Air Owl and the middle child. He is a jokester, and like Aura Air Owl, lives in a bubble of contentment.

What does Golden Glen Owl want ?

Unlike Aura Air Owl, he is not driven to help others, rather he just wants to crack jokes and make himself laugh [insert visual gags here]. He also likes to eat snacks, especially sweets.

Thatch Timber Owl: Emotional support. Always there to offer a comforting message when the actions that Aura Air Owl takes backfire.

Who is Thatch Timber Owl ?

Thatch Timber Owl is the baby. Like the other siblings, Thatch Timber Owl is serene and observes the world as an interesting curiosity rather than an emotional rollercoaster. Thatch Timber Owl is also a sage, who offers advice, support, and encouragement to Aura Air Owl.

What does Thatch Timber Owl want ?

Thatch Timber Owl is a baby who spends a good amount of time sleeping, and just wants to be physically comfortable and at peace.

Hoo Hills

The World:

Hoo Hills
“Hoo Hills” is the whimsical woodland town where the owlets live. It’s a suburban community populated by all kinds of bird species. “Hoo Hills” is bounded on one side by “Feather Peak Forest” and on the other side by “Flock Beach.” It is in many ways a typical, ordinary town where residents have access to jobs, stores, recreation, and education.
Wing Soar Elementary School
“Wing Soar Elementary School” is the owlet’s school where Ms. Regal, a bald eagle, is the science teacher, and Mr. Bogart, a satin bowerbird, is the art teacher. It has an interior courtyard where the owlets have their lunches under a beautiful tree.
Mechanical Laboratory Things (MeLT)
“Mechanical Laboratory Things” is an engineering company specializing in educational robotics founded by five alumni of Wing Soar Elementary School. The five engineers are: a parrot, a mockingbird, a woodpecker, a magpie, and a hawk. They also like blowing things up, and were influenced by the success of ACME corporation.
Mechanical Laboratory Things (MeLT)

Sample Episodes:

EXAMPLE 1 — Cold Turkey:

Aura Air Owl and her siblings are watching Davie Attenbirdie “television,” which is a window where a messenger pigeon comes to read off the day’s news. A snippet of Davie Attenbirdie reading the news is heard, “Some senior birds have difficulty picking up objects off the ground.” Aura Air Owl announces that she will go help their elderly neighbor, Chirpy Turkey, right away. She goes outside, sees that there is a newspaper on the neighbor’s front lawn, picks it up and takes it to the neighbor’s front door. The neighbor, a wild turkey, suddenly flings the door open and angrily screeches, “What are you doing? You got my paper all wet! Get away! Mind your own business!”

Back home Thatch Timber Owl tells her, “Don’t mind him. There’s never any GOOD news in that paper. That’s why he’s always mad,” while Golden Glen Owl says, “If you want to pick things off the ground, pick me up so I can reach the cookie jar! Chip, Chip, hooray! (hip, hip, hooray!) Chocolate chip, of course, for one and all!”

Happy resolution: The art teacher Mr. Bogart, a satin bowerbird, walks by and gives Chirpy Turkey his dry newspaper in exchange for letting him do a paper mache statue on the front lawn with the newspaper that got wet. Also, later that day at school, Aura Air Owl’s science teacher, Ms. Regal, a bald eagle, drops a pencil, which Aura Air Owl picks up and hands over. The teacher is very happy and grateful, which makes Aura Air Owl break into a big wide smile and flutter her wings.

It CAN be helpful to others to pick up objects off the ground!

EXAMPLE 2 — Eagle Advice:

Aura Air Owl and her siblings are watching Davie Attenbirdie “television,” which is a window where a messenger pigeon comes to read off the day’s news. A snippet of Davie Attenbirdie reading the news is heard, “The teacher appreciates it when students assist in the classroom.” Aura Air Owl announces that she will be sure to help her teacher the very next day. She goes to school early and sees a stack of papers on the teacher’s desk, so she decides to distribute them to the students coming in thinking they are for a new class activity. The teacher, a bald eagle, enters the classroom and angrily shrieks, “Why do you kids have the quiz for my afternoon class in your hands? Now all the papers are out of order and wrinkled! It will take hours to organize them again!”

Back home Thatch Timber Owl tells her, “Well, the students who didn’t have to take a quiz today are very happy!” while Golden Glen Owl says, “Don’t quiz (kiss) and tell, I always say! How about some fizz for the whiz at quiz (this) point in time? Orange sodey-pop? …It’s hit and quiz (miss) around here.”

Happy resolution: Aura Air Owl overhears the art teacher, Mr. Bogart, who is a satin bowerbird, say that he needs some shiny objects for his classroom supplies. Aura Air Owl remembers seeing some shiny shells by the beach, Flock Beach, and fetches some for the art teacher. The satin bowerbird is very happy and grateful when he sees the shells, which makes Aura Air Owl break into a big wide smile and flutter her wings.

Students CAN be helpful to teachers!

EXAMPLE 3 — Bowerbird’s Eye View:

Aura Air Owl and her siblings are watching Davie Attenbirdie “television,” which is a window where a messenger pigeon comes to read off the day’s news. A snippet of Davie Attenbirdie reading the news is heard, “Taking care of the environment is important.” Aura Air Owl declares that she will go find how she can help the environment. She walks down the street and notices a glass bottle on the ground that she believes is litter. She picks it up and starts heading home with the intention of recycling it when a satin bowerbird angrily howls, “Thief! Thief! That’s my shiny object! You’ve destroyed my artwork! I had it angled just so to reflect the sunlight! Give it back!”

Back home Thatch Timber Owl tells her, “It’s not litter if you think it’s beautiful,” while Golden Glen Owl says, “It’s never too light (late) to learn something new! Better light (late) than never!”

Happy resolution: Aura Air Owl’s notices water puddles forming on the lawn of her neighbor, a wild turkey. Aura Air Owl sees that the neighbor’s water hose is leaking and turns it off. The neighbor is very happy and grateful, which makes Aura Air Owl break into a big wide smile and flutter her wings.

Kids CAN help others take care of the environment!

Why ?

Have you ever tried to do something nice, but it turned out badly?

Kids—and some adults—may relate to the experience of trying to implement an idea or suggestion only to have Murphy’s Law interfere such that anything that could possibly go wrong does.

How should one deal with this type of setback and failure?

It’s ALL Good Times takes the approach that it’s ok to fail if you learn from the experience and are able to stay positive. The theme is perseverance.

Aura Air Owl, in particular, is like the child who wants to make breakfast in bed for her parents, but burns the skillet in the process, filling the house with smoke and setting off the smoke detector, thus upsetting her parents. But when they fling the skillet out the window and the owlets go look at it out of curiosity, their artistic neighbor—and the art teacher at their school—is happy to receive the scorched skillet, which he can put to good use. In the world of It’s ALL Good Times, good intentions may not help the intended recipients, but someone is unintentionally helped, so there is always a happy ending!

The three owl siblings are also unlike typical cartoon characters in that they are rather placid and goodnatured, thus creating a calming, relaxing, and fun atmosphere when they are together. Rather than showing the extreme emotional reactions seen in animation, negative events roll off the owlets like water off a duck’s back. They are in many ways better role models for how to handle disappointment than the overwrought reactive characters that are typical in animation.

The three owlet siblings are unfazed, and wise beyond their years. It’s the side characters who hilariously lose it when they are inconvenienced or disturbed.

More Story Ideas (edutainment):

11 minute cartoon, broken up into three “scenes,” each ~4 minutes long.

Ages, inclusive, 2 - 7+ (no songs with lyrics, only instrumental background music)

These characters are cute, but they are not simple. This is a kinder and gentler version of SpongeBob SquarePants, where the lead characters have the same optimistic, funny, happy energy of the lead character, SpongeBob, except without the gross/rude humor or the dramatic pathos that SpongeBob sometimes displays.

The visuals are attractive and calming, but this does not mean that the writing or humor is restricted to preschool. The visual style is Kawaii, which means lovable, cute, or adorable in Japanese. It is a style that extends to popular culture and is not limited to a preschool audience, e.g. Hello Kitty and Pikachu.

It’s ALL Good Times (IAGT) shares other similarities to SpongeBob SquarePants: instead of a world populated by marine animals, It’s ALL Good Times is populated by birds. Instead of Jacques Cousteau as a narrator and explorer, IAGT has famed documentarian Sir David Attenborough as a guide, and instead of the three main character providing pathos, it is the side characters that they interact with who portray the over-the-top reactions that are so funny in animation.

It’s ALL Good Times also aims to have the intelligence, humor, and whacky fun of Phineas and Ferb, particularly in the way IAGT introduces the factoids about birds, with running gags, and maintains a standard plot structure that gets repeated in each episode. Additionally, IAGT incorporates the antics of Loony Tunes, particularly in reference to to MeLT and in the exaggerated overreactions of some of the characters.

Finally, IAGT teaches viewers to care about the environment and conservation by peaking curiosity about numerous bird species and how we can all happily coexist.
