As you probably noticed I'm not Craig. My name is Lily Gladstone and for the next 15 weeks,

00:07

I'll be leading you through Crash Course Film Production. First a little about me. I'm an actor and I love movies.

00:13

I love making them, watching them, thinking about them, in fact

00:16

I've spent most of my adult life acting in or educating people about movies and all of that has brought me here, to Crash Course

00:22

Filmmakers do great things and some not great things with cameras, lights microphones,

00:27

actors, makeup, costumes and special effects. They put together all these puzzle pieces to perform an amazing trick and communicate ideas

00:34

and emotions on a two-dimensional screen.

00:36

They make us laugh, cry, squeal, cover our eye and every movie starts very simply: starts with an idea.

00:42

Maybe it's a grand vision of an intergalactic war or a small and tender tale about a woman trekking across

00:47

country with her dog. Either way both these ideas go through many transformations before they arrive in a movie theater on Netflix or on Blu-Ray.

00:54

But how?

00:55

How do you take an idea and turn it into something that you can show people and how do you get people interested in helping

01:00

you make it? How do you cast it, crew it, edit it, for it and release it?

01:03

Are you going to direct it and what does the director

01:05

actually do? What are producers anyway? Do you even need one? Actually let's get this one out of the way right now.

01:10

Yes!

01:10

Yes!

01:11

Producers are very necessary and like

01:13

how much does this all gonna cost? Do you need two hundred million dollars to bring your idea to life

01:17

or do you need two thousand? With this series

01:19

we hope to demystify a lot of these questions

01:21

and help everyone understand just how much goes into making a movie. Because working on films is fun and exciting!!!

01:26

But it's also a lot of very focused work that can turn into chaos if you're not prepared or paying attention. So join me,

01:32

Lily Gladstone, for the next 15 episodes of Crash Course Film Production produced in association with our friends at PBS digital studios.
