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/2u66V1J
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

love her take on the brain dump. you're trying to capture the enthusiasm that will inevitably fade as you continue. you want that document as a reminder of what you loved in the first place.
As a writer myself, I always imagine myself sitting in the cinema theatre and "watch" my plot points. It's like I see the movie play out on the big screen, then I make it happen. For example. just close your eyes and let your brain TELL YOU what your climax scene looks like, or what your ending looks like or how it opens, without forcing thoughts.... As much as you should utilise scene outlines and script-storyboarding, remember you have just as powerful imagination. We have a funny way of SEEING into the future.
Reason 1: Your idea is strong enough to be a screenplay.
Reason 2: Your idea is helping you learn a new skill in your writing toolkit.
Reason 3: Your idea is helping you advance your career in a particular way.
Reason 4: Your idea is helping you fill out your portfolio of writing samples.
Very clear and well articulated explanations
Great info as always
I started a romcom set in England roughly 3-4 years ago now and after messing about with the scenes and adding bits, taking some away, I have now finally put it to bed. But after listening to this, I realise that I haven't got a clue where all the ideas and original scenes came from. I do have lots of previous versions and character info on my computer but as for how and why I did it. Beats me 😆
"Time is the only resource for which no creature may bargain..."
Reflection is key in a world which contains almost none. Mind your own matters, because it matters if you don't mind.
"Before I start, I must see my end. Destination known, my mind's journey now begins. Upon my chariot, heart and soul's fate revealed. In Time, all points converge: hope's strength, resteeled. But to earn final peace at the Universe's endless refrain, we must see all in nothingness... before we start again."

Why are you writing your current screenplay?
I want to be able to accomplish my childhood dream and create a narrative worth talking about and exploring. Regardless of time spent and hours crafting, I want my screenplay to be special. Not just to me, but to those that see the end result.
Hi btw
"Why are you writing your current screenplay?" My most recent and current graphic novel project is about a love and hate story set during the Cold War era, culminating in treachery. In today's war-torn and polarized society, I want to draw on the past to remind the audience that we have not learned from our past mistakes as humans.
My characters are experiencing the same kind of problems that I am currently working through so writing them out of their tough situations is therapy for myself.
I have just submitted an "Origins" story which I thought would be perfect for a feature screenplay. It is an epic love story (which means I get to kill people!) that is set in western Siberia 2,600 years ago. Luckily, I knew what the ending was before I started writing. The real joy was having a set of ideas from the beginning, but never being really sure of where the twists would come.
@@AnnoyingMoose Ha, I am doing some of that myself. My main character may be going through a metaphor for a midlife crisis. If nothing else, I'll be able to spend some time with the friends I beg to work on it with me when I try to self produce in a few months.
Brilliant
So interesting that the interviewer steered clear of describing Forrest Gump's cognitive challenges when describing him.
I'm trying to write a television pilot. Anything I need to know?
😆
We need to innovate a completely different new route for story and its filming. All center around the concept of 3 Act structure with stage bits including conflict for resolution at end.
Why should not world activities be told in a different way exciting audience
I still mull on this innovative and varied way of creating film.
With the advent of UA-cam, there's no reason you have to follow any rules.
Naomi seems like a really nice lady.
I have an interesting story to tell about not knowing the ending. I had been stuck for months because I didn't know the ending to a plot proposal for a graphic novel. Then I discovered ChatGPT and tried it out. After I described my whole story and arcs, this AI provided an excellent ending suggestion (between hundreds of suggestions). After being stuck for months, I used AI to solve my problem in a matter of hours.
What is chatGPT? CUD u please explain
@@MrLoks2009 letmegooglethatforyou
Before you mentioned AI I was going to suggest to try listing different possible outcomes. There's a tool that says think of 20 (or more) ideas, even silly or obvious things, and usually by the time you get to about 15 or 20 you have exhausted the obvious or cliched things, and start to get to really solid ideas. And then of course you could choose the better suggestions and make further lists to combine or refine those. I would say I don't think it's a good habit for a writing process to become reliant on external sources for solutions, but then I suppose editors and beta readers or writing groups might also be considered 'external'. I'd say if AI can find an option that you think is excellent, it was probably already deep within your subconscious anyway. Just my opinion.
Skynet will sweep the board at the 2030 Oscar's
@@interstellarbeatteller9306 😅How prophetically sad.
I disagree with knowing the ending. Yes, it works for some and is defo a good destination to keep in mind, but it can also stifle organic discovery.
In every single instance where I read someone's work and they didn't have an ending in mind, it was a train wreck. Unfocused, boring, unengaging, and the characters wandered and stumbled like dull-witted drunks.
Sadly, Hollywood scripts are pretty much always like that. 🙄

@@Novastar.SaberCombat🤣One can only surmise that either your day gig was to read a vast amount of "Hollywood" scripts, or you're another failed wannabe writer. Wait, isn't that the same thing?
If you don't know where you are going then your story will become unfocused, messy, and random.
