Stuff we use:
LENS - Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important. This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner. Started using this lens at the end of 2013 - amzn.to/2tbtmOq
AUDIO
Rode VideoMic Pro - The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio. It also helps us sync up our audio in post amzn.to/2t1n2hx
Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - amzn.to/2tbFlM9
LIGHTS - Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light. We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times - amzn.to/2u5UnHv
COMPUTER - Our favorite computer, we each have one and have used various models since 2010 - amzn.to/2t1M67Z
EDITING - We upgraded our editing suite this year and we’re glad we did! This has improved our workflow and the quality of our work. Having new software also helps when we have a problem, it’s easy to search and find a solution - goo.gl/56LnpM

"If you do anything long enough, you will become yourself in the middle of it." Brilliant. I will try to remember this.

When I found myself in the middle of making my last movie that wasn't particularly good and I knew it, I quickly adopted the Joe Queenan mantra "Don't get it right. Get it done." I had so many unfinished projects over the years that I wanted to at least get one finished whether it ended up good or bad. Oddly enough, he's right that someone out there will probably like it. There are many haters, but there are a few who like what I made even though it's not so good. Keep in mind too, that even if your film turns out great, there will ALWAYS be haters. I don't think there is one movie on IMDB that doesn't have one star ratings (even your favorite movie does).

Great interview, the XL2 was such an epic camera for young filmmakers. Back then it felt like if you had that camera, you were unstoppable.

What do you like about this statement of working with where you are? How have you applied this?

@MysterianFilmGroup 2 жыл бұрын

The journey starts with learning 'how to' take the next step in order to reach that dream. Advice, such as on this channel and others, tremendously help the budding filmmaker in creating their reality as a career.

I like this statement because it is inspiring in the sense that it makes me feel hopeful, knowing that I can start from what I consider the ground floor and don't have to worry. All that I have to do is work to improve; and I will.

It doesn't help that executives will turn down fun original scripts left and right, then turn around and greenlight something like "She-Hulk: Attorney at Law." Still, if you keep plugging away and don't give up, you'll get there eventually. As a published author, I know.

*HOW DO YOU WRITE A SCRIPT:* In terms of formatting, I basically just imitated this old, dog-eared copy of the script for "The Empire Strikes Back". From there, telling my story just naturally flowed cuz I knew which tale I wanted to tell. *HOW DO I TRANSLATE THAT TO IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA:* I'm an animator rather than a more traditional filmmaker, so step one is finding a visual style and making a character or two, getting the look, the vibe, the energy right. *HOW DO WE MAKE A GOOD MOVIE:* I suppose we start by identifying our target audience--in my case, sci-fi geek-o-trons like myself--and looking at what was popular in that genre. What does our audience expect of us? How do we entertain them, not thwart their expectations _too_ much, while still telling the story I want to tell? I actually find myself enjoying a lot of film and TV that is derivative of what I already like while managing to stay original, so I looked at a lot of Lucas and Spielberg and their adventure films like Star Wars and Indiana Jones, analyzing why they resonate so much, and then write my script with that style of filmmaking in mind. And that informs what I put in front of a camera. *HOW DO YOU SURPRISE:* Honestly, I d'know. Or more specifically, I don't know how to make a surprise that _works._ I can write surprises, but do they _actually_ surprise the audience? I d'know. It's very subjective, surprise.

@JustinMonts 2 жыл бұрын

From one lonely fat kid to another, I'll be 33 in a few months. I made 2 short films about 7 or 8 years ago and have done nothing since. I am basically starting over, trying to meet and get involved with people in my area. I'm in the USA, so when I say 'in my area' I mean like the same county. I have a full time job and other commitments. So I don't have the time, gas money, or energy to drive 3 hours halfway across my state to a filmset on nights and weekends right now, many times working for free, so I have to find people literally within a 30 minute drive or less. They're there. If you look, you'll find them. Go meet them. Help them. Learn from them. Pass on your knowledge to others. I also recommend saving any little bit of money you can. Even if it's $5 a week, in 10 weeks you'll have $50. For $50, at the very least you could find 1 aspiring actor willing to act in a micro-short film that can be shot in one day on your phone. Even the tiniest steps toward your goals add up. If you keep moving slowly and consistently, one day you will look back and see that you've gone farther than you ever believed you could. Best wishes to you my friend.
