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
EDITING - We upgraded our editing suite this year and we’re glad we did! This has improved our workflow and the quality of our work. Having new software also helps when we have a problem, it’s easy to search and find a solution - goo.gl/56LnpM

"When I'm writing the script, I'm watching it." Indeed, the writer is the first audience.
I really admire that he seems to have a genuine detached freedom to let go of aspects that aren’t serving the project. That’s a wonderful character trait.
"What’s the latest you can get into a scene and the earliest you can get out?" - killer quote
Yup, “enter late, leave early.” The second the you reach the purpose of the scene, leave.
I try get a first draft done in three months but I've had ones I've needed 6 months for and some I've finished in a single month. I'm only 21 so I'm hoping that I'll make a film by 25-30.
This guys advice on mentally visualising stuff is really good and definitely worth taking up.
Great advice. In my writing process, I have learned to allow the characters tell me what to write rather me telling the characters how to be. This takes months and months of patience. I know that sounds weird but its really worth it.
This was so interesting! Will be referring back to it as I write my first draft.
Great interview. Loved to see him laugh so hard at his own jokes. This guy rules.
Nice workflow! Cheers Film Courage!!
Quite interesting tips, great speaker!
My first draft is sitting on a shelf since last May... 3 pages of notes from the test reads... Will get back to it soon though, almost done the sequel. Tip of the hat for anyone that can do it in weeks.
He did acknowledge that was full tilt 12 hours a day of dedicated writing on the first draft he could get it done in a few weeks, so that's somewhat reassuring if you're working full time to stay alive and trying to write in your free time.
Basically, there’s no substitute for really thinking things through.
What was the most helpful part of this video?
Everything
Nice!

The ending
I would write screen plays if I ever believed someone would get the chance to enjoy them. But then again there's a lot of books out there on the shelves.
Lol yes that "editing in your head" is really poignant!
It would be nice if you could first show that vision from your brain to a focus group to see if it's objectively good or not before you start actually filming it!
Interesting and helpful.... but 5 out of the 6 movies he wrote got 5/10 or under on IMDB. So, there's that.
Still a better rating than any of the movies I've written
Keep in mind they don’t rate screenplays on IMDb.
It's the budgets. It's very difficult to get more than a 4 or 5 with a microbudget indie. The lack of funds affects everything, acting, locations, having enough crew, etc.
A cable from your brain to the screen? How awesome?
Maybe coming one day... look up Neuralink by Elon Musk.
This might be a bit of an overstatement but screenwriting just like filmmaking should be 100 percent mapped out before starting or shooting. There shouldn’t be many drafts nor should there be much traditional editing in post production aside from vfx or other cgi imagery. The art of film should be a product of proficient efficiency not a series of corrections after the fact
100% is def an overstatement. I'm all for efficiency but art in its nature is a fluid process and can't be reduced to a rigid system without sacrificing quality. You can always keep improving a script or edit
thats a good way to never let the Art show you something unexpected
When you're collaborating with a vast amount of ranging experienced cast and crew, great ideas brought to the table during the process will inevitability call for editing. The magic in providing your actors the freedom to act is one example alone.
In my experience yes that is true to an extent you should obviously try to make everything in the frame a choice. However its not accurate to think it has to be a rigid process as if actors dont do something special when you least expect it and love it. Or something else you decide to keep. You can't just assume the only way you planned in the beginning or your storyboards have ZERO room for growth or can still be improved. You can pretty much ALWAYS keep messing with it. I don't mean making the film in post/ editing it out of nothing, that to me is obviously an amateur just saying oh oh "I mean to do that " lmao but there is a huge difference between a bullshit artist and letting the script, or painting, or scene take on a life of its own and you do more listening than insisting on the one way. Actors, in particular, have so many different styles of working with your material that you kind of have no idea what's gonna happen sometimes, and unless you call cut! Let them do their thing they are on a roll ! etc. It happens all the time. The crew has to respect my vision and my storyboards or I light the scene a certain way for a reason but saying no there is only one way the way I planned from the beginning is not a great process it's actually pretty bad. Actors are not puppets. They can and will bring their own magic to the scene especially if they are in character and are really nailing it. In that case, i WANt to see my character do things I didn't imagine. Even if I end up cutting most of it something great might come out of his alternate take or approach etc. I could go on. You do have to plan everything out. And i do but I never refuse to let my crew or actors etc add something or give it a chance. Haven't you watched right here on youtube those video compilations of famous lines and best moments in cinema history being totally something an actor improvised in the moment and the line was brilliant or something even.. like. WAY.. dumber, like in the usual suspects the line-up scene when del toro could not stop farting and the actors could not stop laughing and the director used that take instead cause it brought a new meaning to the scene even tho at first he was very unhappy or angry. The bad guys being silly not taking the line up or cops srsly actually worked out GREAT. So yea I dunno what to tell you. Definitely, do your script storyboard make every choice you can but don't be closed off to trying new things on the day of shooting. I've been working on films, my own or for big studios for like (14 , 15? I think) years now and even with fine art if im painting something sure tons of sketches and still sometimes I try something new when I'm in the moment actually doing the oil paints after hundreds of sketches. It's a part of the process and that's extremely important for you to accept.
I feel like this particular video lost its way. Also, there was an unfortunate irony to having a filmmaker with a focus on editing, be so repetitive in his off-the-cuff insights.
