I’ve been asked several times: What is your tip on becoming a successful filmmaker. I don’t think it’s one easy answer to that, but let’s go back in time and see what I did to reach my dream of becoming a full-time filmmaker.
It all started with the fascination of being able to create my own fantasy worlds. And of course to see my friends fighting infected humans in the goal to save the planet, hehe. I enjoyed using my creativity, making our own low budget scenes.
Use what you have at hand, to enhance the film quality.
Experimenting and learning from your mistakes.
Aim high.
Curiosity. Figure out how things work. This lead me to build my own steadycam and even start a company. We sold over 70 handheld steadycams, called WalKam EasyPro.
Ask friends and family for help, and don’t be afraid of looking stupid.
See peoples talent, and use it.
Join film festivals to meet other filmmakers.
Attend film school to learn from the professionals.
In my case film school gave me contacts, which resulted in being asked to direct my first feature film.
My dream of becoming a feature film director came true, so it was time to set new goals. I still wanted to learn more. How? By making more films, more projects and gain more experience.
Experience is crucial. However, that is not enough. You need to light a fire inside yourself. A fire that will make you go that extra mile, lift that extra stone, because that is how you become a good filmmaker.
Looking back at my first films, I understand what lit my fire. It was having fun with friends, use our creativity and be a part of the projects together.
That’s why I now want to dedicate my time teaching you about filmmaking. I want to share my knowledge with you, include your creativity and make the best film community on the entire internet.
Do you think we can do this together?

2019 Update: Im sorry for the ads showing up. I used one of Eskilds favorite songs for this video and it was supposed to be add free. Now as YT decided yo have ads on it, you can see it without ads on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/AndyaxProductions/videos/429945660920984/
Dear everybody. The most terrible thing has happened. We have lost our good friend Eskild Fors. He died suddenly from us, following an acute depression, May 16th 2017.
- - -
Eskild. We miss you so much. You were always there for us. Always. It’s difficult to comprehend what wonderful person you were and how much you affected our lives. Your smile, your joy, your humor, your thoughtfulness, the helping hand, your ability to be the good friend who always stood up for us.
You were one of the most talented and creative guys we ever knew. That is what brought us all together to begin with. We loved joking around in front of the camera; let our mind flow, dream away. We were in a special world when we made videos together. No words can describe how much we will miss those moments.
Not just us, not just your friends, but the whole world absorbed your positive energy. People have written to us that when they have been depressed, they felt better watching our videos. They were inspired by what you did, they were inspired by who you were.
Eskild, you will never be forgotten.
We love you so much.

I posted the news about Eskilds passing away on our Facebook page Andyax Productions May 19th 2017. This tribute video is a result of the condolence videos we received from you, our followers. Thank you so much, it really warms our hearts.
I know a lot of you would have loved to send in a video and be a part of this video. However, I could only include a certain amount of contributions in one video, and I hope this video is a good summery of what people thought of Eskild.
Take care of each other and speak out about any struggle you might have. Because there are people out there who want to help you. No words can describe how it is to lose a good friend.
I will finish up the two next episodes of Behind The Camera Hack, which Eskild is a big part of. Its tough, because those are the last videos Ill upload which include Eskild. After that Ill have to figure out what we do next with the channel, but one thing is sure: We will continue making videos, because thats what Eskild wanted. He loved making videos for Youtube. His channel Eskild Fors (https://www.youtube.com/user/Exkild) will therefore stay as it is, so we can still enjoy his videos.
Again, thanks for all your support. It means a lot to us, his family, and it meant a lot to Eskild.
Much love, the Andyax team.")
