Stuff we use:
CAMERA - This is the camera we have used to film 90+% of our interviews (over 200 interviews and counting) It continues to be our workhorse - amzn.to/2dAercv
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/2dUWP8h--
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/2e2AVVt
Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - amzn.to/2dFuPZg
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/2dApDpp
COMPUTER - Our favorite computer, we each have one and have used various models since 2010 - amzn.to/2fzEYE1

It’s always good to listen to Socrates. Thank you for bringing Socrates to us. He’s the smartest man I’ve listened to in a long time. Good on you for staying with your role as interviewer and not just being stunned into ga-ga mode at the wisdom he shares.

So true. The deeper you delve into filmmaking the more you realise why it's so difficult. It's because expressing yourself honestly is one of the hardest things to do in life.

So true and yet expressing ourselves honestly has many benefits to others and ourselves

The best description I've heard of an authentically told story's purpose: to give the receiver an experience of the story (rather than teller sharing THEIR experience). That is so clarifying and helpful.

Mr Travis is brilliant at what he does and does a great job of explaining it. I hang on every word

Expressing yourself is easy. Tell the truth!

@squidified674 5 жыл бұрын

Expressing a proud, sugar-coated version of yourself is easy; showing people who you ARE, with all your flaws, talents, shortcomings and strengths, is far more difficult. People aren't willing to be as honest as they often think.

I love what Mark teaches in these videos! I am an actor in the beginning stages of study and research. Self teaching or preparation before the leap. Watching and more importantly listening to these lessons is an incredible help to me. Thank you to Mark and the interviewer! 👌🎥

Im a novelist. but i find that much of screenwriting advice is universal or some at least translates well into novel writing as well. I think novelists can learn a lot from screenwriting especially dialogue you guys are really good at that stuff. Thanks for putting up these videos Film Courage :)

Excellent discussion on gifting the audience by getting out of the way of the character and the story so that the audience members can interact to understand something about themselves. True for every performance genre.

Yes, Staw Berry, time to get out of the way of the story that is inside you. Let out. Don't try to control it. Let it live and breathe on it's own. You'll be amazed.

There's something about entering this long dark tunnel of screenwriting and coming out a more in tune human being. I'm struggling with it now because Im just starting, but when I hear what you say about honesty, in self expression, I can't help but think that what we do is important. Bruce Lee says the exact same thing, but about martial arts. soundcloud.com/dreaminginthevoid/bruce-lee-on-self-expression. And I can't help but find that super intriguing.

Expressing ones self honestly has been quite difficult. i guess i have to stop trying and just do that.

As an actor, how could I implement the interrogation process? Is there something I could do on my own when others don't know about this? If the director doesn't know about it or how to do it (it's also my first time hearing about it myself as well), how to direct myself? When the director is still talking to me, the actor, and not the character. I really want to live as my character in the moment. Wish someone directed me like this. Really want to get myself out of the way.

@albertabramson3157 Жыл бұрын

This is the exact opposite of acting. Making actors feel terrible, angry, jealous, resentful, etc, on stage is not building sympathy with the character but forcing us to watch people hurting onstage. Is some people may enjoy watching this, but there's no skill and no performance in it.
