Your first film

I was thinking as we often give advice to extreme newbies about how everyone has to start somewhere, I'd start a thread where people could post their first ever made film that is online. I encourage you to post the oldest possible, rather than the first that you thought was presentable.

I wasn't sure if this would be showcase or off topic so I put it here as it will potentially be ongoing. If you think it's better in showcase an admin can feel free to move it there.

Right I'll start with my own first film.

This was the first I was involved with

However the first which is online that I was in a directing role is here (and acting actually)

First one I'm aged 12, second I'm about 14, there were a few in between but are not on YouTube.

I don't have a digitised copy of my first film, which was a 5-minute doc about a small group of LARP'ers in upstate NY. I have the S-VHS tape somewhere about. I made it so I could get hands-on editing training at the local Time Warner public access. No NLE, either. Tape to tape. Heh. :blush:

This one is my fourth or fifth film, but it's the earliest I have available online, from 2005. Vimeo's kinda stretched it out so it looks a bit grainy. Oh well. :)

It was made for an IndieTalk film challenge, fwiw. It's pretty awesome (ly terrible)

:P
 
Hmmm... When I was little I was always running around with a camera and, when I got a little bit older, I started to edit that a little bit. But the silly narrative projects were all on tape and have disappeared and everything that remains is just random non-fiction segments. So here's my first narrative short film that I made in early 2011...

And then there's also https://vimeo.com/28434588 which I shot slightly before, as a sort of test for that. Warning, turn your speakers down at the end.
 
lol, this is fun!

From 2000:

A trailer from a SF nonsense movie about Chinese landing on the moon we shot with a lowres webcam and LEGO.
It really starts a 0:22.
I put it online a few months ago, just because it's fun to see how it all started.
In the end it has some BTS pictures.

Not good quality, but funny, and it got 74,000 views somehow
 
Flight of the Chicken (circa 1999)
