Stuff we use:
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/425k5rG
Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - amzn.to/3WEuz0k
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

Here is our full interview with Shannan - ua-cam.com/video/EUd5hZL62MA/v-deo.html
This amazing woman has done SO much for me as a screenwriter.
EXACTLY!!
I love hearing from Shannan because she's just so enlightening! She just gets right into the techincal side of her work and it all just seems so straight forward and logical.
Right?! I never feel the need to scream at my screen “Get to the point!!” She ain’t herre to be messin’ around!! Oh-kerr!!
I need this as a full interview! I jnow you guys are holding back becuase this is some of the best information one can hope for
Cheers! This is our last segment with Shannan. Hopefully not too long before the full interview is released.
Wow wow wow. Pitching to networks is super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Am glad she said brand and audience and not changing your story but looking for where it fits 😊
Because as a writer I don't mind criticism but I still wanna write stories that are true to me.
I will absolutely give Shannan 100% of my attention anytime she's on this channel. Love seeing her -- she's knowledgeable and she's able to explain the complexities of the industry.
This was very useful. I love the people who lay it down directly with no spin or justifications, they just say "Hey, we chase trends, that's what we do. That's how we choose projects and if you look at our output, you can see tropes and themes." But she basically makes the whole studio thing fucking exhausting. I don't know if I want to tailor my creative focus on someone else's quarterly projections just for a paycheck. Sounds like the studios are where you go to pitch your own reject ideas based on which house likes the taste and let them run with it while you take home the sales price and (hopefully) a few points.
Fascinating video! Shannan is wonderfully eloquent too! Many thanks, this channel is just terrific.
Thank you Sam! Shannan is great!
I knew PRECISELY what era of Syfy she was referring to (Eureka-ish) without her naming a show, which is exactly the kind of branding she’s talking about
Super insightful as always.
Glad you enjoyed it
Hands done one of the best interviews of someone in the industry that I ever seen. This game me so much information. Please have this woman back!
what a brilliant woman
Such an insightful interview, transforms thinking instantly
Thanks for another great film courage video
Cheers Clint!
She seems very sharp.
This is an important thing to know.
Disney execs, listening to this: “ohhhhhhhhh”
Pedantic but, "The way words are pronounced is sometimes based on faulty reasoning. “Biopic” looks like it is in the same family as “myopic”, but it isn't. It's “bio” - for biographical - plus “pic” for picture.Mar 22, 2021"
I was wondering about that, thanks.
Don't care. I'm still gonna say "by-op-ic." We say "by-OG-rah-fee" not "bio-grafee" so I'm keeping the "y" sound.
Imagine how satisfying your daily job would be if it meant working with Shannon every day?!
AI is a lot more effective at following and predicting trends and coming up with variations on sucessfull storylines that a network might want to duplicate. AI will also be better equiped to absorb and study all the script elements and transpose them to the new projects.
AI will be so darn good at tweaking our emotions, networks won't need writers/ actors/ marketing...okay. Is that your premise?
