First post on Hive Alex-Film #introduction

(Edited)

Hi all,

My name is Aleksandar Milenkovic and im a award winning Film and TV editor. You probably know me from projects like: @Freechain where im working as the Film editor and Executive producer with @little.lamb @lordbutterfly @mrruin, or @DNSMedia where im working as a post-production Supervisor ,or maybe from @hiverally.com , all super cool projects that are making a difference here on Hive for the community.

Some of the older work of me and my team you can find on my production website: https://www.smartcut-production.com/
or if you are just interested in what movies i did you can find me on imdb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6840841/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_0_nm_8_q_aleksandar%2520milenkovic

So now i guess i can jump on why im posting here and whats my goal. Well my goal is pretty simple i would like to start a Film niche here on Hive, and make a group with all the people that are interested in process of making Videos, Movies, Music Videos, Youtube Videos or whatever content you like.

I will probably share some of my projects here with you and show you my workflow, esspecialy on long forms like Feature Films or Feature Documentary's im working on. So you can better undarstand the whole creative and technical aspects of making something for the audience.

Here are some timelines for projects that im doing for hive:

This is timeline for freechain:

And this is the timeline for the rally video we did:

As you can see im working in Adobe Master collection programs, so Premiere and Affter Effects are my bread and butter. I do work in DaVinci Resolve aswell when im doing color correction or when im making Proxy's for a bigger project.

And here is a timeline of a new feature movie im doing with French Montana and Chris Brown ( the ultra popular singers ), its an action movie so alot of blood and shooting going on:

Im blessed to work on so much great projects, that i would love to share with you my knowledge about movie and tv and listen to your oppinions and knowledge about the same topic. If you are interested in breaking down some of the scenes, and me talking about the creative and technical process behind the cut let me know.

For end of this post i would like to add couple of words for the invisible art of editing, if you are an editor or just starting to learn what editing is you must be prepared to take the Support role on your shoulders, and prepare to get a little praise for your work.
Editing in right manner means helping others to be better in the video starting from Director, Camera, Actors and everyone involved in the project, your main goal is to make them: look better, more professional, enhance their perfomances and hide the mistakes they make.
On top of that you have to see the bigger picture and know when to tighten it up and when to let it breath. You should be the most objective person working on the project, and give your best to fix all the mistakes that are made on the set.
Because you are the last line of defense before exporting and showing your work to the world.
Being an filmmaker is not easy, but it gives you so much satisfaction after a job well done, to all my fellow filmmakers and content creators out there keep your heads high and keep doing an awesome job.

Peace out
Alex

Welcome to Hive! It's awesome to have you here. I've seen some of your work and I'm a big fan. That rally video was great!

Hey Alex! Welcome to Hive! Glad you made your way to HIVE. I am working in the movie industry myself and unfortunately, I have not been able to shoot my first movie outside of film school yet. I studied acting and after a long period of pursuing that profession, I wanted to get behind the camera and into the director's chair. We have created the @hmvf where we want to bring together filmmakers and musicians to work on their own music video projects. The first video we produce will be shot for @ravenmus1c.
I am far away from a postproduction professional. I like a good editor though! I can use Davinci though a bit...
It would be awesome to work together in some way or form. Also would be glad to help out with any footage needed from Hungary, Austria, and Germany.
Ah btw you can find my movie from my 4th semester here on 3speak.


Sorry for the long comment but I get very enthusiastic because it is not an everyday thing to get an award winning professional on HIVE.
Cheers @solymi

Hey Solymi, i took the 12 minutes of time to watch you movie. Well let me start with i love the combination of the medival age and the future, thats super creative and bringing those 2 time periods togeather is super cool. I was just sad that i saw you use time-ramping on the begining when he is getting all the flashbacks, and you didnt use them in fight scene - to enhance the swing of the sword and give it more action. The VFX was, well you know :) but it suits this kind of movie, and i can just praise all the time and effort you put in VFX. For a short sci-fi movie is great, but you never gave us the answer what happen to socrates (the chicken) and i think the audience would love to know what happen to him. Maybe make a 2nd part of the movie to give that answer? :)

Best
Alex

Hey Alex, thanks for taking the time to watch the movie, I really appreciate it.
Regarding the time ramps that is a very good input. The VFX is... you know, we where a student project and it was the part of a 4th semester project. We had about 3 weeks to get the movie done regarding postproduction since we had a deadline. A lot of things I would love to see more evolved but due to lack of time these things got put on a shelf.
Regarding Socrates. Preportaled is Episode 0 of a 7 part web series and there is an Episode 1 that has been done. But it has not been graded yet and regarding VFX it would need some love too. That was our thesis project for me as director for my colleague Max as DOP and for our script writer Ramona. The scripts exist until the end of episode 3 and I would love to produce the whole series with a bigger budget and a better main actor or lets say it Professor. During the production of the 1st Episode we faced huge problems that I will not discuss here, let it be said I was learning text the day before shooting because I did not know if my Professor turns up and it took me serious negotiation skills to get the 5 shooting days in cam.
The chicken plays a large role later on in the coming Episodes. I can not spoil anything because I really plan to shoot this one day using a bigger budget and hopefully also funds from the Bavarian and Austrian Film commission
Thank you so much for your feedback and thank you again for taking the time to watch Episode 0. I hope once our grader and VFX artists are done with episode 1 that I can post it and you will get some answers and more Back to the Future references.
All the Love from Vienna
Solymi

Well im super pumped that Socrates has a greater role in this whole series, thats and awesome way to build a story. Im looking forward to watch the episode 1 when the whole post-production finish, if you need any help in that regard im here to give you my opinion.
All the love from Vranje

Nice to meet you Alex! Thanks for helping us promote Hive :) I cannot wait to watch Freechain! All the sneak peeks that I got to see so far were amazing!

Really cool to have you here on Hive. Greetings from Prague!

Thank you Phortun for these great words i appriciate it! Well Freechain is a special project for Hive and for me aswell. I hope you all gonna enjoy it as much as we were making it :)

Greeting from Vranje

a bit of probably know feedback. from home page smartcut-production you can't play videos. from portfolio it works fine.

It would be cool to get a good video community on hive. i think there were few communities made but it was not that active. people making videos are busy and don't have time to watch other people videos 😂

it would be interesting to have a place where people talk about videos from "technical" points where comments are more than "cool"

avatar

Im trying to make the home page work that would be awesome :) Im all in on community for video and filmmaking here on hive, i think people could and should help one another with the projects and be there for one another. Thanks for droping in Prag i appriciate that!
