You decide to make your own movie, so you do whatever you can to get a video camera, convince some of your friends to be the actors, and buy props to make the movie more believable. However, your movie project hits a few snags in the filming process, so Hilarity Ensues; the actors forget their lines or screw up their parts, props are always falling over at inopportune times, the equipment is clearly visible while filming, etc. It turns out that making a movie isn't as easy as it looks at all. Expect to see loads and loads of Special Effects Failure, though the final product often ends up So Bad, It's Good. Closely associated with an Amateur Film-Making Plot. Compare: Troubled Production, a real-life version of this. Contrast: School Play. |

The entire plot of Action is Peter Dragon's attempt to make the film "Beverly Hills Gun Club". Said film is plagued by such problems as a drug-addicted star who demands a bigger codpiece, a director who drowns, a lead actress who suddenly puts on weight just before shooting (leading to an emergency liposuction), and so on. | |

On The Simpsons, Springfield decides to have a film festival in order to boost tourism, and several townsfolk make movies themselves. In particular, Mr. Burns has "the Mexican non-union equivalent" of Steven Spielberg make a movie based on his life; at one point after he helps some villagers and tries to go Riding into the Sunset his foot gets caught in the stirrup of his horse and he's dragged away. | |

The second half of the Are You Being Served? episode "It Pays to Advertise" is taken up with the Grace Bros. staff's disastrous attempt to film a cinema/TV advert for the store, with Mr Humphries directing. Mrs Slocombe's eyes keep getting stuck closed by her false eyelashes, Mr Grainger's jacket is too big and his trousers too small, the radio mike Mr Harman (acting as sound man) instructs Mr Lucas (acting as boom mike operator) to put on Mrs Slocombe ends up falling down the front of her dress and picking up the noise of her digestive system, the accordion Mr. Rumbold has been given to play as a gypsy musician makes sounds of flatulence instead of music... all converging in a perfect comedy of errors when they try to do a take. The hat check ticket Miss Brahms gives Captain Peacock is covered in her saliva after she holds it in her mouth, Mr Grainger accidentally squirts Captain Peacock with a soda siphon, Mrs Slocombe's bar stool gets stuck to her backside, and when Young Mr Grace goes in front of the camera to pour himself a glass of champagne, he misses the glass by over a foot. | |

Community: One episode has a variant in which the characters attempt to film a commercial, with several characters treating it as an actual film shooting and things go horribly wrong. In another episode, Abed's movie about Jesus, which is actually a movie about himself making a movie about himself making a movie about Jesus... ends not well. This trope gets is most prominent depiction in the last season, complete with extensive Lampshade Hanging, in an episode where the college attempts to assemble a B-Movie around scraps of footage they have of a suddenly famous faculty member. |

The Ren & Stimpy Show has an episode called "Stimpy's Cartoon Show", where Stimpy attempts to make an animated short film that'll impress his mentor. Ren is hired as the producer, and turns out to be an extreme Prima Donna Director, tearing up storyboards and producing the short on so small of a budget that Stimpy eventually resorts to using ultra-thin slices of wood in place of acetate sheets. Unlike most examples of this trope, Stimpy's mentor absolutely loves the film, though this is predictable given his personality. | |

The first (airing order) episode of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya shows the results of this, while an arc in season two shows the process, as does the second Light Novel. Haruhi and co. are making a movie for the school festival, but the lack of a script, Haruhi's bossy demands, Haruhi using her Reality Warper powers to make Mikuru gain a laser eye, and even drugging Mikuru, makes the whole thing a hilariously awful mess. | |

One episode of Pepper Ann had the title character challenged by a director whose movie she criticized in the school paper to do a better job. Her script is well-liked, but production suffers so much, particularly Executive Meddling by financier Trinket, that PA gets disillusioned and writes an article stating she wouldn't have been a Caustic Critic had she known how hard it is to make a movie. | |

Learning with Manga! FGO's Rider (often known as Rabbit Ears) tends to involve the cast in these. Rider is actually a very competent director, but between low resources and the dysfunctional nature of everyone involved, the results rarely end well, to the point that one of their few successful efforts was a low-budget porno. At least one of them seemingly served only as a way to justify shooting Thomas Edison in the face with a rocket. | |

An episode of SpongeBob SquarePants had SpongeBob and Patrick make their own Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy movie, in protest of a new one being made with actors replacing the real Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy in the title roles. Unsurprisingly, production is a complete mess, moreso when it is revealed that Patrick left the lens cap on the camera for the duration of filming, leading to SpongeBob having a full-on meltdown. Production is restarted with Mermaid Man's encouragement and the film does get made, but it's full of editing slip-ups, Continuity Errors, and Special Effects Failure, like when an outdoor shot of a building is clearly a cardboard box, the villain's catchphrase is wrong, and Sandy is jarringly edited into the film as Mermaid Man's stunt double, all on top of the entire film clocking in at only a minute. | |

Dolemite Is My Name derives most of its humor from the wonky real-life production of Dolemite—aside from almost everyone involved having minimal-to-no filmmaking experience, the budget is incredibly shy, the filmstock runs out partly through production (necessitating a shady business loan), the director loses faith in the project very quickly, and it's evident at a glance that the lead action star cannot fight. That said, the final product ends up being a surprise hit. | |

The main plot of the season 5 episode of The Goldbergs, "Adam Spielberg". Inspired by the aforementioned fan-made recreation of Raiders of the Lost Ark that he watched, Adam sets out to make his own Indiana Jones fan film, called "Indiana Jones and the Thunder Glove of the Prime Mutant", with help from his mother, Beverly, Erica, Jackie, his friends, the JTP, Johnny Atkins, and Carla. The film's troubled production caused Adam to suffer a mental breakdown, and he eventually abandoned the project. Adam decides to stick with writing screenplays, which is his strongest point. | |
