The ponysmasher YouTube channel is owned by David F. Sandberg, director of Shazam!, Lights Out, and Annabelle Creation.

I found his YouTube channel because of a video he made titled, “The Problem Solving of Filmmaking” which explains problems that he encountered while making Shazam!. What I did not realize at the time was that he was also into making simple short films with his wife and posting them to YouTube.

Before you watch this making-of video, please watch the full short film. Trust me you will be amazed and inspired.

This is a great video to help demonstrate how hard and rewarding it can be to make a movie. A lot of times things that you may not like about a movie are not intentional and the director may not like it either. Other times obstacles can create happy accidents that improve a film in ways unforseen.

David F. Sandberg created this great 5 min video breaking down one scene in Shazam! and the problems presented to him during the shoot. I first saw this awhile back but I am just now getting around to posting about it.
