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

@@yegorshpirko8548think it stems from the emotional truth like the one guy said in the video. If you are being real and honest about your characters and how they’d navigate whatever situation you’ve put them in, then it’ll resonate on some level with people. You have to give your all to the story, don’t keep scenes you feel will be cool or scenes you had in mind if they don’t fit, you gotta be really honest and willing for the story to change and evolve as you get to know it more.

@@NolanCinemaTeam your answer just compliments my message, and does not answer it. Let's say both scenarios are made according to all the rules correctly, but the story of one sits in the soul, and the other is forgotten the next day. There is something third in some films, a certain soul that touches you. And I'm trying to figure out what it is.

The bit about "if something scares you, you need to go after it" resonated big time. I'm trying to write my first story. I've tried many time only for it to crash during take off. Sometimes my ideas wouldn't even make it past the gate. Something is different with this one though. I've actually finished whole scenes. It's actually taken off and ascending to 10k feet! In my very core this story burns with the sun's intensity. But i get these feeling of being scared and anxious. I'm not sure why. I only know that this plane cannot be allowed to crash.

13:00 about the characters having a good time in the middle, works amazingly if they keep the feeling that something isn’t right. And then do the twist. these are the biggest punch to the heart (for me). So much so, I somehow developed a spidy-sense to detec them 😅 “you can’t trick me anymore 😭”

For those of us scribes creating serial, dramatic narrative/episodic storytelling, it's not simply a fixed storyline, rather it's a dynamic one as our characters evolve, so do do the motives/reasons for them to take actions/strive to achieve/resolve their issues. This is however a great compendium of inspiring advice. Advice most of us seasoned writers know, but do not always stay focused upon. It's a "Refresher" for me, and a nice introduction for newer, rookie writers.
@sladewilson9718

One of the greatest pieces of writing advice I’ve ever been given is that the story doesn’t start at the beginning of your book, there should have already been some stuff happen before your book even starts, and you’re just throwing the reader into the world. In an absolutely underrated book called Thief, it doesn’t even introduce characters to you, the characters just start talking to each other like they’re familiar (coz why wouldn’t they be?)👍🏽❤️

The video is great but one quote made me laugh. My favorite quote: “If your character doesn’t have a flaw that they need to overcome, it’s going to be difficult, I think, as a story teller, to figure out the journey that they need to go on to overcome that flaw.“ I understand the intention. Watching a character overcome a flaw is why we read the story. The wording just sounded humorous to me.

from what i understand a story should pose a question of whether or not a character can obtain a goal by overcoming a conflict while undergoing a significant process of change, i think that's the core of what makes a compelling story. as far as what makes a good story depends on the context of what you mean by "good" i think there our three types of good, theirs artistic preference (what aligns with the interests of your target audience), technical execution (how well can you convey the themes and ideas you have), and moral philosophy (why you want to share those themes and ideas), you will probably have a good story when you know what you want out of those three types.
