Phil Lord and Chris Miller might seem like a pair of goofs, but their writing advice is some of the best. Their writing prompts are the ones I return to most often, so I thought I put them into an easily digestible video. Whether you're writing a book, a screenplay, a blog, or a UA-cam video, Phil Lord and Chris Miller's writing advice is absolutely worth a try.

Lord & Miller's latest project "The Mitchells vs. The Machine's" is yet another masterpiece from them.
They never miss!
@@ItsGregKon Can't wait to see more from them.
So is spiderverse 2
@@kidda6049 bro frfr. That's their best one yet
WUUT, didnt even know its their film.
dat explains the why the comedy is good.
im gonna call it now that phil lord and chris miller are gonna go down as some of the best directors of our era
The philosophy of 'No Bad Idea' is one that I hold near and dear to my heart. To me, there is no such thing as a bad idea, just an idea that hasn't become perfected yet.
Awesome video!! Definitely gonna come back to this one many times~!!
Well said! Any idea can work, it just needs some development! Thanks so much, glad you liked it😁
I know the quality over quantity fallacy has been part of the artistic process probably forever, but for some reason it got me thinking about physical vs. digital media.
Like, this image of writing in a notebook and having to cross out or rip out mistakes- creating a museum of things you tried but didn't work. Compared to the image of typing at the computer and deleting everything you don't like- it's completely gone unless you intentionally create evidence that it was there.
There is also, of course, the fear of writing in a notebook at all unless you feel you have a good idea, for fear you'll mess up the pretty notebook.
But in any case
This video inspires me to create some sort of museum of attempts. Instead of trying to think of ways to delete or throw away projects that didn't come out perfectly, finding a way to put them together in a folder or something both to help them feel "complete" and to learn from going forward.
That's so true. A notebook of mistakes is a permanent collection of lessons learned. It's a lot easier to delete and forget about mistakes if they're in a digital medium. Save those drafts!
I'm so happy to hear that this inspired you😊 I want to make more things that encourage creativity from everyone
Hey, I'm from the future look I know they worked on a lot (Clone High revival not withstanding) of great stuff, but the recent allegations make this video's title ironic.
Like, I'm currently mixed on my feelings right now. Knowing they have made incredible pieces of art is amazing, and their methods and the way the speak about it resonate with me.
But on the other hand, I am heartbroken to hear about the recent exploitive-level conditions that these two are putting on for the animators and production staff. It's okay to have messy plans and ideas as long as it isn't harming others, and hearing these conditions seem to fit the bill for unfortunately, doing just that.
I think it's important to talk to your characters. Ask them questions, see their reactions, let them freakout.
Do I sound crazy? :/
Not crazy at all! It makes sense, you want to treat those characters like real people. I like that idea!
@@ItsGregKon one time I went to sleep and I had a conversation with one of them. It was insane....
@@everafter2611 Whoa that must have felt cool! Your imagination has a life of its own 😃
Excellent advice!
Love the Barton Fink and Bob Ross references here! I think all of us could probably benefit from the idea of failing/learning fast - if we see ourselves and our style more as works in progress, there’s less room for negative self talk and BS. Thanks for making this!
Yay! Thanks for watching😊 It's a tough lesson to take in, but I find it very freeing to let myself fail
There’s also Clone High by those two and Bill Lawrence, which explains frequent collaborations with Will Forte. Maybe this series and The Afterparty could be interesting additions to this video essay.
Love the way you sum up these creative tips !
Thank you😊
I just saw this in FB mate and wow this is fantastic. I really like the way you've described writing as intimidating at every page. It's big, and scary - sometimes. But it's also fun, and rewarding at others. Very relatable there. And I appreciate the positivity. The "no bad ideas" thing is really encouraging too as is the part where you talk about making continiously. Make something every week. That part was kind of something I needed to hear tbh. Making videos on my channel has become a weekly thing for the past year or so and I can see how muxh Ive improved and how my mindset on where I want my channel to go has changed... Anyway yeah, clearly this video is coming from a genuine place and I appreciate that. Really well done (and who the fuck disliked this like seriously?)
Thanks so much! I'm really happy that this resonated with you😊 Honestly I'm just really inspired by Lord & Miller's creative process, so full credit goes to them! I made this to hopefully encourage others to make more stuff, because I genuinely love gassing up creative people. Keep up the hard work, I'm looking forward to your next video😃
They turn terrible stuff into good ones.
Nice mate, I loved this, really well put together and edited, look forward to seeing your writing one day!
Thanks a ton! 😀
Instant sub! Great quality. Can’t wait for you to blow up. Keep it up dude!
Thank you so much! More videos incoming 😊
@@ItsGregKon can’t wait!
*great points*
As of seeing this video they now have 22 film and TV projects in the works.
Whoa! Can't wait to see each and every one
this is really nice video buddy :)
Thank you so much! 😊
@@ItsGregKon As a fellow video Essayist I can't wait to see more from you my man 😊
@@RealRayu I really appreciate that! I'll be following your channel as well, very interesting work😁
I couldn't help but notice that "It Wasn't Me" by Shaggy feat. Rik-Rok is playing in the background
Haha yesss! I like to sprinkle the radio hits from my childhood into my videos, and I love when viewers catch it.
@@ItsGregKon Also helps that I'm a Shaggy fan as well 😉👌
please please can you make a video on amazing spider man 1 on the good bits if that's possible. in fact u can do that for all the spiderman movies like high top films if u want
I might do something on Amazing Spider-Man at some point😊 I haven't watched it in years and it could be fun to revisit
@@ItsGregKon nice in your own time - thx
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
YAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Chris Miller sounds like David Cross
