Hi, yeah I did few of them. First get some ideas, then select one of them. Make sure to write plan/script as you go along, so you do not forget something. Then write text, learn it and shoot video until you have perfect shoot. Without a script it would be really hard to remember everything.
Hey, thanks for the advice ya'll, I was just curious to know how other people do it though. I've been doing comedy skits now for a year. I always make a script, but some things can be improvised or "my actors" can say something similar and not exactly like the script says if that is easier for them. I have an improv background so that's fine with me.
Something i've found though that saves time is preplanning WHERE and HOW you're going to shoot the scene. that way you shoot a scene, go to the next area, shoot that, and so on. makes it smoother and quicker so the actors and crew don't feel stagnant.
Exactly! I write down what props do I need too. The most difficult thing that I find in the making of comedy skits is try to find the right actors. And sometimes when you find a perfect one you can't find the right time to shoot it.
Or sometimes I get some idea where I need a lot of people and I just can't "find" them
Good luck to you too, I saw that you're a nice crew. I'm happy I'm not alone in this too, my friend is a cameragirl and editor
Yeah it is hard to look into without people telling you to "Study other videos". I kinda left it alone and started weekend vlogging on my other channel and focusing on my animation. However, I do sketch comedy with my animation but it's still difficult to come up with.
You're totally right you didn't study other videos, I mean maybe you get some kind of ideas and it's always good to connect with other Youtubers, but you still gotta be unique. And man, I saw that you are
So Future didn't become a vampire?
I figure I will once I get some money to buy a camera. Maybe. Most of the time when someone says they have a comedy channel, it's just a bunch of videos where they do Let's Plays in funny voices, so actual comedy videos are always appreciated.
Exactly, that's why I made this thread. Same thing happens when I go to a Comedy section here on YTalk to check out some other videos and it's full of challenges and reactions. I mean I don't mind but I was looking for something else lol.
