Filming & Editing a New Movie From Start to Finish: My Full Storytelling Process
In this video series, I share my entire, start-to-finish creative process on camera, as I create a brand new movie from scratch. Along the way, I share and explain everything that I'm doing and thinking in detail — every idea, decision, tool, and technique.
You'll learn exactly how I make movies firsthand, from how I come up with my initial ideas all the way through filming, editing, and sharing the final movie.
In the process, I'll be explaining my approach to the following topics:
- Finding Ideas and Stories
- Cinematography and Visual Storytelling
- The Art of Spontaneous Filmmaking
- Shot Selection and Type
- Getting the Most Out of Your Gear
- Editing, Pacing, and Rhythm
- Music and How To Perfectly "Score" a Movie
- The Three-Act Structure
- Developing Story As You Go
- Titles, Text Graphics, and Overlays
- Sound Design, Effects, and Audio Editing
- Keeping Your Audience Engaged
- Reviewing & Polishing Your Work
- Develop Your Voice as a Filmmaker
If you're trying to decide which series from my Studio to watch first, I'd recommend you watch this one. It's the most thorough look at how I think about and tell stories.Ultimately, filmmakers are storytellers first, so this series is perhaps my most important. To make this point, the movie I make in this series is made on an iPhone — I want to show you how I make movies and tell stories in its purest form, without the crutch of fancy gear.
I've never shared my process so openly and vulnerably before, so I hope you enjoy and learn something from how I work!

This is the most useful and valuable advice you can receive in this space. Casey explains his thought process of how to create a story and how to problem solve when it doesn’t go your way. He talks about how to maintain attention span, evoke emotion, keep the flow and tone of the story going. These are all second-nature things that people don't usually teach.
