Robert looks back at how equipment, creativity, and freedom have changed since the days of El Mariachi, and, after 14 days of shooting, Robert and Racer wrap Red 11 and reflect on the experience of getting their project done no matter what.
Robert explains how to get projects started on the right foot. He reviews his casting process, preproduction and equipment considerations, and how to structure the first few days on set to maximize creativity and get the most out of a small budget.
Halfway through production on Red 11, Robert shows how he safely choreographs and shoots a fight scene, how to use low budget lighting techniques to shoot day for night, and how to prioritize the valuable time on set to focus on what matters most.
Robert breaks down three scenes shot for Red 11 in the first week of production, demonstrating how to work around actors' limited availability, maximize coverage with limited takes, and shoot and edit scenes to pull off impressive effects on a low budget.
Taking a break from the shoot to dive into editing, Robert teaches how to get into the edit quickly, shares his own techniques for identifying the best takes on set, and shows how to create impossible stunts and locations purely through editing and sound.
