    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/2t1n2hx
    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

    I needed this. I’ve always doubted my potential to work myself into the film industry on account of the fact I hear about people who had been making films since they were 3 weeks old, while I only got interested when I was 16 and didn’t start actively making videos until I was 20. It’s great to be able to see an example exists of a possible future.

    Thanks 🙏☕️🎩 Great question at 6:20 about being a loner or part of a group. Working alone & sculpting your vision is a beautiful thing...and then you have to share it with the whole gang, and realize you’re not done, or it’s not there yet. That’s tough. But that’s where the “song” comes alive, when the whole band gets into it, brings in unexpected twists & flourishes, and it usually makes it better. 🎩🎩🎩I also like his point about filmmaking being a bunch of art forms brought together. So, if you can’t decide whether to be a musician, or writer, or cartoonist, or...just be a filmmaker & hit all those itches with one scratch. 🕊🌎

    I needed this. The amazing thing is that I'm a photographer too and I'm seeing myself in a similar way as he does in the path of photography and screenwriting. I'm been writing screenplays for two years and sometimes I'm confused and I don't feel sure about what I'm doing.
    I love this video!
    PS: Sorry for my english if there's any mistake in the comment.

    And who knows anything about that stuff when starting? If you are so passionate about it, you 99% started to writing and didnt knew nothing. I knew 0 but listening Tarantino, Scorsese and other filmmakers helped a lot. Also i had luck to meet some good people who knows filmmaking.
