Is Fiverr Good for Filmmakers in 2024??

[Music] what is this Fiverr wants to make a video together okay uh all right video ideas um maybe I can do the why paid a stranger $1,000 to edit my video IA yeah only if you want people to say you copied Peter McKinnon and D shiffer what the God is that you Morgan Freeman nope just your interest of thoughts oh man I really wanted Moran Freeman wait why don't you sound different than me oh I'm just one of the voices inside your head uh don't worry about it uh okay so video ideas um o look I can get someone to make a sick VFX animation for me maybe they can animate a futuristic Iron Man thing around my glasses that would be kind of cool leave the VFX for the cool people you know who that is not you wow all right fine jeez so no VFX all right oh how about I get someone to create a YouTube thumbnail for this video right I need one so how about like Fiverr meets Alex Chung you're not Mr Beast no one's going to fall for your stupid clickbait thumbnails wow all right well how about a nice simple YouTube intro it'll be of my face me holding a camera animated right I can use it for every single video now we're getting somewhere except that you're ugly not even animation is going to save you all right it just feels like you're not helping at all everything you say is negative is anything helpful that you can say do you have any good ideas I'm sorry am I the one that supposed to be theing anything helpful and you're just saying like IDE what are you saying who talking to I don't get it I don't get it he talking you talking all you're saying is not more sad about this video hi I hope you guys like that little skip video intro thing that I made uh cuz today we're going to be talking about Fiverr uh they are I'm very excited because they are the first big sponsor of this channel uh and so I've been using Fiverr for a long time basically Fiverr is a Marketplace for you to find artists vendors who do a ton of different various Services everything from doing video and editing work to data analysis and all the way to like Consulting uh so you can find like a whole bunch of different services on Fiverr and today I want to show you guys how I've been using Fiverr and how I specifically use Fiverr for this project you'll see a behind the scenes of what I did on Fiverr to get the end result uh of that uh skit video that you saw and how filmmakers and creators can use Fiverr to elevate the work in your projects all right uh we just finished filming the skit stuff that pretty much took the whole afternoon so I'm going to get the rough edit done tonight uh and then send out the reference video for the vendors like the VFX person and also the voiceover artist for them to actually see the footage so that they can actually do their thing oh right okay so I just got done with editing the rough cut of the skit video and this is going to be good enough I think very close to what the final version is going to be but also good enough for the reference video for the voice actor to do his lines over it while kind of seeing what the video is going to look like and then also that one shot of the glasses hopefully turns out well um for the VFX artist and then we're going to do the thumbnail and also that little animated YouTube intro thing and the first person I'm going to contact is going to be the voiceover Artist as a commercial filmmaker I'm a huge fan of all the voiceover artists that we have available on Fiverr and adding a professional good sounding voiceover to a project it just makes your work seem a little bit more like you know what the pros do uh at the highest level and as you heard in that intro skip video I'm sure it sounds good I don't know yet the voiceover artist essentially played an invisible character that never shows up on screen but it's a vital part of the skit or else otherwise I'll be just literally talking to myself uh as I'm doing doing the skit which kind of it's not that fun to watch I guess so I found this guy Daniel K on Fiverr and he's going to be the voiceover artist I'm pretty sure he's going to be a really good fit for uh the skit I saw his reel heard his reel sounds really good so I'm going to reach out to him it's a very simple process to reach out to these vendors most of the time they ask you to send them a message and tell them a little bit about your project and kind of see if it's viable and then they'll go ahead and ask you to book but uh I'm pretty sure that this guy is going to be the right person so I'm going to go ahead and just like book him without uh messaging him right away and asking questions and when you're placing an order there's a lot of little options that the vendors have for you to choose from for example if you know you're getting like a high volume of the same repeatable repeated type of work like for example you're doing a lot of uh social media content where you know that you will be booking a voiceover artist you can do a monthly subscription with the vendor and you can save a little bit of money that way so that's a really cool feature there's also other things um each vendor is different so you can do like a timed audio sync and he'll be timing his performance with the existing video or the presentation or you can have a one-on-one live Direction with him I'm pretty sure it's like a video call or something and you can give him live directions as he's recording the voice over and after you order the services from the vendor they'll have a little form for you to fill out asking a couple questions about what direction you want the voice over performance to be a little bit about the project and stuff like that so I gave them a couple directions give me a couple of takes one of them is do it in a way where you're insulting me uh in my ideas and the other one is like a banter so bantering with your friend joking around with your friend so those are some things that I added to the directions and kind of explaining to him what the skit is all about or what the video is going to be and then also attaching the reference video and also the script that I want him to read and actually years ago we used a voiceover artist on fber and our client was an after school program that taught kids tenant under robotics like stem sciences and they needed a commercial for their program and we went into it knowing that we would need to hire a voiceover artist and it was really cool working with a voiceover artist for the first time on that commercial we were able to immediately see the difference or I guess hear the difference of like how much better the voiceover made the commercial without it is just the video montage of like kids learning in school attending class and you know playing around with like robots and stuff like that but with the voice over it it just explains so much more it tells so much more of the story and it kind of took our commercial from like down here to like up here we also used play based learning to sharpen their observation skills boost early age cognition develop social skills all right next one we have is the VFX I'm going to send off like one shot that's color graded to the VFX artist and have him just do the VFX Magic on it um so the idea for this it's going to be just this like little HUD thing that you can see through the glasses it's like um that one scene in Spider-Man where Peter Parker puts on the glasses from Tony Stark and then has that little animation thing on the glasses I want that and I just kind of want the VFX artist to use his imagination do his own thing uh and see what he can do so the vendor's name is Katan I really liked his work because he had this cyber Punk Inspired Real and that's what I really liked and kind of what I want uh for the HUD idea as well and here are the order details that I put in for the VFX artist for him to kind of go off of some little directions of like where I want the animation to start where I want it to end what I'm looking for for the animation and like a reference video of the exact scene that I'm talking about from Spider-Man this one I'm excited for him because uh I've never really Incorporated V effects into any of my commercial work or personal projects and so it'll be a great starting point to see if I can incorporate more V effects uh into our commercial projects in the future okay next we're going to contact the logo animation person and I have this cartoon that I want to use it's just me holding a camera that I got done years ago but the only issue is that I don't have the original Source foow I don't have the Adobe illustrator. a file that what they need to fully utilize and animate the whole uh Cartoon thing the only thing I have is a PNG file with a transparent background I'm going to message uh this person first before I actually do the order just so that they can see whether or not it's even possible to do any sort of Animation all right so I just got done messaging the logo animator and they said it was okay to just give them the PNG with a transparent background they said that they should be able to do something with that file so we'll see how how it goes I don't really have a direction for them for this I told them that I'm a filmmaker SL photographer I guess cuz I'm holding a photography camera do whatever with it whatever you think is is good for it um they said okay they're going to do a custom order for me since they already know what the requirements are they're also going to give me the full copyright and the commercial license use which I don't know if it's actually necessary but I'm just going to be extra careful with it um and just go ahead and purchase that uh fee as well it's not very expensive so uh which is good so we're going to send it off and see what the end result is when they deliver it okay the last vendor that we're going to contact is going to be the YouTube thumbnail Creator this is going to be very interesting because I picked someone who does those you know the Logan Paul Mr Beast type of clickbait thumbnails which is going to be so funny to have like my face on this like this outrageous thumbnail I might actually use it as a thumbnail for this video I might I don't know depending on how it turns out and uh how it looks I'm just going to maybe send it and just use it as the thumbnail here's that vendor his name is somu want to contact him and tell him what I'm looking for so he told me what kind of photos he needed he just needed a couple uh smiling photos uh so I gave him a couple of uh previous thumbnails that I shot you know using a backdrop at home those are photos that I used for a different video in the past but it's just me doing a couple like smiling poses uh I gave him a couple different ones so he could give me a couple different versions and then I also gave him the requirement of you have to use the Fiverr logo has to be in the thumbnail as well and then just kind of gave him like some phrases that I thought would be kind of clickbaity uh for the video and we'll see all right guys this is day two uh and we already have a couple of the orders done so we have the voiceover done and then we also have the logo animation done as well so let's take a look at the uh the voiceover which I'm pretty excited for cuz this is the character uh you know that I'm talking to if this is good then uh we can get started on the editing with it okay so he actually gave me four different Tes the first two are the ones that I requested and then the other two are just versions that he had fun with it so we have four different recordings which is more than what uh I asked for which is amazing which is awesome so let's take a look at it and we're going to play it yeah only if you want people to say you copy Peter McKinnon and Daniel Sheffer nope just your intrusive thoughts oh I'm just one of the voices inside your head don't worry about it leave the VFX for the cool people you're not cool you're not Mr Beast no one's going to fall for your stupid clickbait thumbnails yeah but you're ugly not even animation is going to save you so that was pretty funny uh so that was the the really insulting one I like that one a lot um and we'll see what read number two is yeah only if you want people to say you copied Peter McKinnon and Daniel Schiffer nope just your intrusive thoughts oh I'm just one of the voices inside your head don't worry about it leave the VFX for the cool people you're not cool you're not Mr Beast no one's going to fall for your stupid clickbait thumbnails yeah but you're ugly not even animation is going to save you okay that was not bad either to me they seem similarish subtle differences between the two but uh sort of similar um which means probably either one my my writing isn't that good obviously um and then two maybe the the the instructions weren't as great um but I I like them though I like them I like them so we'll listen to the three and four and see if they're like any different CU this is the one that he said that he you know changed it up a little bit U and just kind of went with his own style and made it more natural sounding to like him yeah only if you want people to say you copied Peter McKinnon and Daniel Schiffer okay already I like this a lot more like that first like yeah that was really good that was really good I like that nope just your Inus of thoughts oh I'm just one of the voices inside your head uh don't worry about it leave the VFX for the cool people you know who that is not you yes dude that was so good that was so good so he added even a little line to like a couple more words to the actual lines you know who that is you know who that is not you which is great which is like so much funnier than I wrote it yeah I love that I love that you're not Mr Beast no one's going to fall for your stupid clickbait thumbnails now we're getting somewhere except that you're ugly not even animation is going to save you yeah this is so much better okay I like this a lot more I'm I'm so glad that he actually like gave me more uh takes than what I was asking for those definitely have a lot more uh character this is like way more like insulting like the attitude of it is like way more insulting and way more of like what I was looking for so I'm actually glad that we got an extra take I know I'm going to use take number three for sure that one's like the attitude that I'm looking for is definitely in read number three and I think I like the outro the little like back and forth uh thing where we're overlapping voices from take number four okay I'm going to go edit that but first before we do that let's take a look at the logo animation we're going to open it up right now and we are going to check it out all right here we go oh this is so cool yeah I love this like I really didn't know what to expect I'm not really sure like what I was going for but this is so cool so I put it into Premiere I put the GIF into Premiere and it works so I can Loop it like itely uh which is awesome all right so it's been a few days since we last saw anything from Fiverr we have the VFX done now and also the thumbnails they're done both those are done so we're going to take a look at the thumbnails first sent over three photos to him and then he's going to send over three thumbnails back to me I have no idea what we're going to expect um so I'm kind of excited so these are again these are going to be the crazy Logan Paul Mr Beast type of thumbnails uh I'm going to open it up right now opening up nice this is so funny this is just so funny oh my God this is the first one here's the second one oh my God what the heck it just it's so weird seeing my face on these like crazy thumbnails and then here's thumbnail number three this is so cool I love all the colors it's like everything like is like so colorful there's a bunch of like highlights the text is so loud everything is so loud but it works like this is like exactly what you would see on a Mr Beast thumbnail and also what's cool is that the vendor included the PSD fil so the Photoshop files that they use to create the entire thumbnail uh they gave that to me as well so then I can go in if I want to change a couple things around here and there add a little bit of different texture or effects or even change up the text I can go ahead and do that using that PSD file which is pretty nice honestly all right next we are going to check out that VFX shot which is probably going to be looking kind of cool so I'm going to go check it out right now here we go maybe they can animate a futuristic Iron Man thing around my glasses that would be kind of cool oh leave the VFX for the cool people you know who that is not you nice that's so cool okay I mean that's pretty good I mean that's that's not bad that's definitely not bad uh I can definitely tell that there's some like you know a little bit of like color grading issues going on a little bit of like blending with the color grading that could be a little bit bit better but for what it is I mean this is this is not bad I don't know what I was expecting i g him the direction of just doing something futuristic like the Iron Man HUD thing so yeah I mean it turned out pretty good all right and that's pretty much it for this video let me know if you have any other questions down
