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

This guy has moved from persona to essence... you can really tell.
He really speaks from a deep understanding of story.
Thanks so much for interviewing him!
I agree so much. He has such an ease to explain concepts of story telling that aren't easy at all. His 'teachings' have given my writing so much more life and passion. I never knew I could love story telling that much :) Thank you Michael!
Can't thank you enough for doing these interviews and putting them online for free
Class is in session fellow-students. I don't recall learning ever being so exciting at least not in the traditional school setting. Thanks for sharing Film Courage!
Dude just explained why story is a transformation tool for human life.
This is not just wonderful story telling teaching. This is teaching us how to live. Thank you so much for these wise words. Live your truth indeed.
most times I dont know who to really thank, Film Courage or the guys you interview, M-H is a master thank nyou both
We're glad you are enjoying and benefiting from these videos. We tend to favor thanking our guests first and foremost. : )
@@filmcourage i just cant wait to make you proud, that you inspired a writer all the way from Sierra Leone who's not even making a dollar month but still sticking to his pen and looking for lessons from film courage
Yes, the world is watching. Thanks Team.
Outer journey of accomplishment and the inner journey of the hero. Great insights ...
The best analysis and examples. Boy do I know what Mr. Hauge is talking about, both in writing and real life. This is what's so great and catharsis about writing. Thank you, sir for taking the time with my the number one, Film Courage. #grateful.
Michael's insight into human behavior is brilliant!
You are amazing Michael! Thanks so much for all of your advice. You bring depth to our screenplays by focussing on the inner journey, like so few teachers do.
Perfect exlanation of how to make the audience care about your hero and his story.
This is one of the best video I've watched. Love his analysis, eyes opening. All of his interviews along with other screenwriting videos are under my watchlist right now! Thank you Film Courage. Keep inspiring pls!
Could not have been explained in a more brilliant fashion! Simply excellent!
This is the best for anyone writing a script. Michael is a master of the story... thank you
this guy is doing something else. so fire.
Really good explanation about hero’s journey, thanks a lot.
Thank you! This was better articulated than any other person, artist or teacher has ever tried to explain to me.
Wait, is this about screenwriting or life itself? Amazing information, so thankful that this is out there for writers and creators of all kinds.
wowww!!!!! just wowwww! bring him in again....can listen to him all day long.
thank u both of u!
Mr. Hauge knows what he's talking about writing screenplays that sell.
cant wait to listen to the full audio! so good
This one is incredible. It may be one of the best clips on our channel. And the good news is we have a lot more with Michael to share.
well those breaking bad script analysis is another set of videos that i love you guys derserve more priase
Thanks, we appreciate it. Will be posting the final Breaking Bad segment next week. (And a little secret... way down the line after we have published this entire story structure breakdown with Michael Hauge, we have Michael providing his in-depth analysis of A Few Good Men. We are really grateful to Michael for being so generous with us. Had a great time with him once again.)
Such a wise man. Thanks a lot for this.
Nothing more pleasant than listening to somebody who is at the same time so knowledgeable on their subject and has such good advice to share, and doesn't come across as arrogant about it in the least. One of my favourite interviews.
..and yes, I do very much think of my characters' inner journeys when I write. Often if there is any actual action at all, I see it as a plus, but I am guilty of writting mostly ''psychological'', very heavily character-based stories disguised as fantasy.. It's all about the people to me..
Hi can you please help me by explaining something? I am confused about motivation. can you explain how it relates to and affects both the outer and inner journey please?
Would the protagonist go for the goal (let's say, a girlfriend) to achieve the the thing they want (which I think is a state of mind such as happiness, love, companionship), but their inner journey trips them up along the way with doubts and flawed behavior (due to their fear, which was caused/grew from out of their wound), and of course outer obstacles as well (such as other guys)? If I'm correct , if not please let me know, that only explains the outer motivation. is there an inner motivation as well? and when does the character realize his flaws and fears and belief about the world along the way? thanks!
This is great observation. I have done this with my protagonist in The de'Conti Series of Novels and adapted to The de'Conti Film Franchise. Nine films.
This applies not only in films, but in real life too.
Film Courage, I love you
Love ya back!
This was like therapy
Excellent!
Thanks for doing this interview
We've had two great experiences with Michael. Hope to do it again.
awesome
This guy knows his stuff
Hello, does the wound have to, or should it, be connected to a theme? I can't think of many examples where the wound, fear, persona, inner journey, doesn't link with the theme, as their awareness of their flaws. fears and or wound usually have to be acknowledged or defeated (or succumbed to) in order to get to a climax or resolution. Should I think with theme in mind when creating a character and their backstory- mainly their wound and fear? so that I can envision where and how they'll overcome their fear and have a revelation, allowing them to learn and grow and therefore the theme will be fully explored? Any thoughts please and thanks!
Brilliant!!!!
Michael Hauge, you're my old version. I really talk, act and live like you. Wish I can be successful like you ☺️
Save but unfulfilled or terrified but actually living and making things happen.
Great
Genial!
💯
But how does this relate to the character arcs of hoops and yoyo; how did they grow through that haunted Halloween?
Hi, does the inner journey work for children? if so, what are wounds for children (in children's books) besides parents divorcing, family and friends dying, etc. a child not having a flaw or fear for very long since they are still so young and have not experienced as much in life nor the ability to understand much of it yet, may not shape them and affect their behavior as much as an adult who has lived with a trauma for most of their life. How does a kid drop or not drop armor that they've had most of their life, if they're so young and the wounding event may not have happened long ago? If an identity for a 8-12 year old, dawned by a would, to prevent others from seeing the real them or as a coping mechanism, is too far fetched or inappropriate, what are some other types of wounds or similar events to overcome I can use instead? Or are these same inner journey rules used for 8-12 year olds as as they are for adults? I am trying to write a children's story, for about 8-12 year olds, and I am having trouble finding out if they need the inner journey and wound. I guess it also depends on the theme or lesson of the story. Does the theme, have to connect with the wound (in both children's and adult stories?) anyone who can help, I appreciate!
7:44 There is, also, a third (more realistic option)- be terrified and achieve nothing. What I am talking about here is reality, not movie. Movies are nice, at least you know that the Hero will end up in a better place. But the Ancient Greek tragedies were more realistic than the movies these days. Just sayin’
Awesome! Is this full interview going online or just clips? Can I find the full interview in audio form?
First 3 segments are published and we have a lot more coming. We haven't recently kept up with our Soundcloud (though we hope to put in some work there soon) and that is where you may eventually find the full audio version.
Thanks! Really like your interviews! Can't wait to see the full interview.
Michael hauge has tons of interviews on UA-cam
wow he looks like Tom Alter
David Mamet -- became enlightened - now a brilliant forceful conservative....
There are some stories that have more than one protagonist.
Maybe could have used a better example than Gravity? Or perhaps it's a good example in that the story mechanics he's talking about are so unsubtle in it.
Spoiler alert god damn
wow
