I tend to dream big but dont we all, im thinking someday i may or maynot want to make a movie in blender but blender seem ofly hard and everyone says to start with “the donut” but its like 20+ videos and im impatient. i feel like i wil have to learn some part of blender one day but im not sure where to start or what tool to focuse on?

ive never even touched blender before and im trying out diffrent hobbys, is there by chance a video for blender movie making? or is there simply way to do things?

    Is Blender good to make a film? Sure. Many people do it.

    Is making a film alone a good idea? Is such endeavour for somebody who is not patient?

    Doughnut is 20+ videos, but doughnut is just the beginning. To make a movie you’ll need much much more.

    I’d say you should do two things:

    1. Find out which part of film making you really want to do. Learn that part. Yes, it will be 20+ videos.

    2. Look for other people to collaborate.

    It’s not going to be significantly different from making a movie in another 3d program. If you want to make a computer animated movie (or just vfx for a filmed movie) it’s a solid choice.

    Be aware that you need several specialized expertises to make all the parts of a movie yourself. The donut tutorial covers the basics of modeling and shading, but most of the work required for a movie will probably be in animation.

    Making a movie or short is going to be a long and timely process. Blender can be used to make a 3D, 2D movie or effects for a movie or short. You will also need to create a script and storyboard out each shot Learn to create modules, animation, effects, and edit audio and scenes. If you’re not into modelling you can always look at kitbashing 3D models, but you will need to pay for the modules.
