deep blue demos
Переглядів 182Рік тому
deep-sea demos - a trio of original songs I made for "Rare Fish" (a short film). 🐟🎥 I spent a lot of time messing around on my guitar in between editing sessions and made about 9 songs.The melancholy of the score didn't fit the short’s sugary vibe, so I cut them out of the film, leaving only a song called “sinking of you” during the montage section. I’m still proud of them though, and so I'm st...

How the heck do you write a good opening scene to a film? Great filmmakers have already figured out how to get us hooked; let's learn from 'em! "The Dark Knight" with that sick Joker reveal, the sad reality-check at the beginning of "Everything Everywhere All at Once", and Noah Baumbach's perfect opening scene in "The Squid and The Whale". In this video essay, I explore what makes a good openin...

On Screenwriting: Start with Characters
Переглядів 3082 роки тому
Writing screenplays can be hard. In this video, I talk about the key to starting and finishing good screenplays without getting lost in the process. During the video, I reference Frances Ha and the MCU Spiderman trilogy as examples of how good stories are birthed from fleshed-out characters. A lot of the things I talk about in the video were learnt from Anne Lamott's book, 'Bird by Bird: Some I...

During the video, I make reference to films like Dune, C'mon C'mon, Marriage Story, and Moonlight, which all have immaculate edits. I analyze some of what goes on in the editor's mind while ma...

FIRST COMMENT
🏆❤️
This is so beautiful and relatable, one of life's biggest hack is actually learning how to breathe. We are consumed by so many worries, lost in the idea of how our life is meant to be. It is in those moments that we ought to take time out to appreciate the present and realise this is as much life as we could ever need.
You're so spot on :) I'm really glad the film resonated with you. Thank you for giving it a chance <3
The direction and framing is truly amazing, awesome stuff
Thank you!
I read an early draft of the script. And I’m very proud of that.
You are special
No, you are 🥹❤️
Forever proud! Beautiful work!
The Oscars have nothing on youuuu
This is incredible!!!
Thank you!
Hello Sean, this was so beautifully shot and written! Honestly never related more to a fictional character. Thanks for sharing this with the world. I do wish I could log and leave a review for this on Letterboxd--cant find it on there.
This hit too close to home 🥀

Who ever directed this has a very nice interpretation
Thanks ;)
Brilliant work. I just subscribed.
glad you enjoyed it :)))
Nice piece👏🏾
All of this from a dead wasp is pretty crazy :) I Loved it very much. Your brain is nice to look into Also the immortalisation is a pretty sleek way of appeasing potentially vindictive offspring ✅
Ahhh haha I'm so glad :) And you remembered the ol wasp!
Lol this is cringe as hell
You are cringe as hell 😂
This hits a little too close to home. Amazing work Sean💖
Aw shucks... Thank you Ruth <3

I just want to say I love you man, you’re truly special, the film is special, the shot where she lets the wasp be was beautiful. I really love the lead actress and the extra footage at the end as well! I’m a big fan man, never stop! Thank you. This made my day cause I couldn’t properly see it as the festival. Ok I’ll stop talking now
I love you too man! It always means a lot getting feedback from a fellow filmmaker. Thanks for checking it out and I can't wait for us to work together again :)

Best thing I've seen in years bro I'm still in awe
Bro is too good sheesh
Thank youuuu
Bravo!👏🏾
Dope video! Approaching a screenplay philosophically is much better than just trying yet another “15 beats” structure that doesn’t have a thematic foundation.
