The lessons don’t tell you what to find. They help you find it.
>The Big Takeaway is that Your 10-second film method presented in this class - is YOUR playground. By limiting time (10 sec), you force bold creative choices—revealing your voice and pushing visual experimentation. Each film becomes a building block, refining your instinct for story, composition, and meaning.
- Theme Discovery: Learn how to identify and develop a meaningful theme that gives your ten-second film emotional depth and direction.
- Creative Warm-Up: Begin with a playful, pressure-free approach that centers you before diving into filmmaking techniques.
- Action-Based Ideation: Embrace an instinctive, movement-first method to find your film idea by doing, not overthinking.
- Three-Act Microstructure: Understand how even a ten-second film can follow a full story arc with a beginning, middle, and end.
- First Film Challenge: Create your first ten-second film using clear, simple visuals and sound to communicate your idea.
- Directing With Intuition: Practice directing with clarity, emotional insight, and trust in your creative instincts.
- Visual Style Development: Explore camera framing and movement to shape the tone and feeling of your story.
- Lighting Essentials: Use simple techniques with natural or available light to enhance your film’s look and mood.
- Edit and Sound Walkthrough: Watch real-time editing sessions to see how timing, rhythm, and sound bring a short film to life.
- Remake and Reflect: Apply what you’ve learned by remaking your film and witnessing how much you’ve grown.
Exclusive offer for this website in this first Launch Week is: 34,49 USD.
To make a film, where to begin? Start with 10 seconds. This simple constraint is a Creative Superpower—It clears out the noise: expectations, overthinking, pressure to impress. What’s left is focus, instinct, and play.
The lessons in this class don’t tell you what to find. They help you find it.
This class is beginner-friendly and designed to build your confidence. No gimmicks or shortcuts—just a clear, creative process to help you grow as a visual storyteller.

Teacher's Note, Olaf de Fleur: "This is my new filmmaking class. Over the years, I’ve gathered a lot of experience—not just through making films, but also by teaching them. This is actually my seventh film class. And to be honest? When I first came up with the idea for this one, I thought it was kind of silly. Maybe even a clickbaity I wouldn’t normally go for. But the more I explored it, the more I realized: this might actually be a powerful idea. It was eye-opening. Even with all my experience, it sparked something new. So now I believe this could be an amazing entry point for anyone curious about filmmaking. Enjoy!
The Big Takeaway - You’re pushed to make bold creative choices, revealing your voice and unlocking visual experimentation. Each short becomes a building block, sharpening your instinct for story, composition, and meaning.
The Opportunity - A 10-second film becomes a micro-laboratory for observing your creative instincts. Like sketching, it reveals patterns and impulses you can expand into longer works.
Your Future - By the time you take on bigger projects, your filmmaker identity will already be sharpened and defined.
