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

I been watching these they are great i been thinking i need some skills for writing a game story and im trying to code out a sort of program to generate a outline for a story and character interactions that make sense sort of tooling. Id like to give a suggestion. I and lots of people didn't like gravity. Cause the people making it don't know anything about space or science they maybe know about fiction well that was for sure. It was ridiculously dues ex machina unbelievable. I think you need to at least have some knowledge about the things your talking about. In the case of gravity pretty much nothing was believable about the actions in her environment. She woulda died like 5x over and too boot she was mental.

@DF-ss5ep Рік тому

I'm not in any way connected with the arts and literature, but I found this interesting. I work with computers (wait, hear me out). I find more similarities than you'd expect between writing movie or a book and a computer program. First one is that even though you can go wild with stories, they still have to be coherent and make sense. Breaking continuity between scenes is what you'd call a bug. That one is obvious, but there's another thing you can bring in from programming into here: no one writes a computer program from start to finish, you always have to go back and reorganize things, rewrite, delete parts that are not needed, over and over again on a loop. Good programmers do this, and I've heard that good writers do it too.

Ive always been a kind of a movie critic in my mind. A few days ago i got this idea about a movie, and with help of hyperfocus I wrote the screenplay. The thing is, I did things exactly like described here unconsciously. The how to outline the story, imagining the storyline but starting with what the end feeling should be, creating an emotional connection between X and the audience, stunning suprises and plot points that change X's life and so on, all came naturally! Maybe I finally found my passion

Writers are social people that like to talk to other people to learn to understand emotions. They have a broad range of interests. They are all over the place with their thoughts and refrain from “have to” kind of thinking. We don’t choose to write because we are obsessive compulsive, we just really enjoy the roller coaster ride.

Writing a comic is a lot like writing a screenplay. I’ve been doing a lot of research about what it takes to write a good story and keep being met with ways to write dialogue in traditional writing styles and ways to show and not tell in a written story. However that’s not a problem I have since I am showing with art. I look at the way that I set up my panels like the way I would set up a camera for a scene or the way that I want a certain shot to provoke an emotion. All in all videos about storytelling in film have been immensely more helpful to me than anything else. This is fantastic, thank you.

A truly fascinating lecture given by a fascinating and knowledgeable man. It was moving to see Eric become emotional when describing Sandra Bullock's Gravity character. All-round brilliant.

Another example of stunning surprise is the big reveal on Jurassic Park when they see the dinosaurs for the first time. It was about 20 - 30 minutes into the film, it happened to the hero/heroes, and it laid the groundwork for the rest of the story. This is top level theatre folks. I studied theater in high school for 3 years, wrote a play with my fellow students, and had acting roles in several plays as well. I learned more in the hour and a half of this video than I did all of high school. Then again, my mind was on other things during that time, so maybe I missed the subtlety, but regardless this is top notch stuff. For free.
