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
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

This filmmaker’s energy is infectious! I love the idea of looking at filmmaking as creating opportunities!
These Jason Park interviews are phenomenal! He is sharing priceless wisdom about the business and also the importance of having a plan.
Cheers Kent! More to come!
It's smart and admirable that he left LA and went to Atlanta and is giving new and experienced actors, etc. an opportunity to fill their resume. But LA had been taken over, and making it in entertainment is nearly impossible. But now all the A-list actors are ancient. And filmmakers have to follow their strategy.
Atlanta is huge in filming, better than LA too
This entire channel is my schooling right now. I've debated for years whether it's worth getting basic college education, or focused education on just what I want to do, or just simply start and do what I want with what I have. With how honest all these people on here have been, my greatest lesson here is that there's no definitive "right way" to do something. Particularly as an artist of any kind. There's only the "right way" for YOU. I have been risking my own income to get some resources that I felt I needed to make movies and youtube videos without any sense of direction, artistic clarity, basic know-how on filming, lighting, editing and so forth. Then a beautiful thing happened as I started making my first real effort at a video and I have learned to use camera functions and a fairly complex editing software just by spending time with it. I've learned a lot without any schooling. I spent hard earned money, but I dont have any student loan debt. I have had the advantage of freedom of self and creativity that I am slowly discovering my own sensibilities in terms of how I like to shoot a scene, what types of characters I'm attracted to and that I can write. Bottom line is, everything on this channel is entirely valid and insightful and opens a wide space of options and thinking that can point you and any creator out there to where THEY need to go.
Oh my gosh, these are the people you're learning from...
Thanks for posting! And our best to you as you create and move forward with your work!
Incredible interview! Please release the full interview! ❤️
This is gold! ✨
I love how this guy is all about helping other people. That's the kind of person I would want to work with again and again, and he's someone that, as he helps me in my career, I'd want to help him in his career in return.
THANK YOU! I'm a writer (short stories/Novella's) that started working Background a few years ago to become a better writer, and see things 3 dimensionally (when writing) through the eyes of D.P's, A.D's, etc. I've been very fortunate to work on productions as recurring &/or Featured, Core roles, and movies that have provided creative concepts, not fully realized, due to being lost on true vision, becoming a better writer! This video reminded me of what's truly important-THE ART, WRITING, AND CREATIVE PROCESS! GREAT channel for ANYONE in pursuit of the inner artist that could benefit from wisdom of those who have, and are, in process.
If you're a writer, may I suggest that you learn how to spell and punctuate.
@@maxsdad538 If I was submitting for something i would of edited work. Thanks for the advice though.
@@jamessmith7909 i would have edited the work*
@@ecstacy2170 If it was work, I would have. I have LITERALLY never heard of great scripts, novels, plays that were turned down due to spelling or punctuation. Ironically, that's part of the reason Editors exist. The next time I've been on set 11 hours and had a few drinks, I will consider editing TH-cam replies. Creativity, talent and some luck get projects and Novels into the public. If all it took was punctuation and Grammerly program, everyone would be a writer.
@@jamessmith7909 hahaha . You're right. I'm just having some fun. I'm sure you're a great storyteller. Good luck
The way I see why his advice is valuable is his credibility. He states right at the beginning that the main reason he 'didn't make it' is that he lacked discipline and didn't have a plan to proceed, also, he turned down like the majority of the auditions his agent tried to get him. Now he has that discipline and has an attitude to his work accordingly.
As for the 'didn't make it' part: he starred in several films, directed many of them, he has a curriculum, unlike 99% of the aspiring filmmakers. You don't have to be Tarantino to 'make it' (in fact, many of the people interviewed by Film Courage are obscure, background persons, but that doesn't mean that they are not successful, inspiring individuals).
I really like his attitude, because it is the everyday person's attitude, who has to have a day job to support themselves and their family, and was not born with a silver spoon - unlike many privileged filmmakers who were born into the industry and don't have to worry about everyday struggles, because mom and dad pays everything for them. So I'm really grateful Film Courage brought him to us, Jason Park is a person who deserves attention.
Totally agree. I advocate the same logic. Thankyou for speaking out!
Great advice and insight as always. So many gems!
So much invaluable insight from people that know the way is so informative and insightful but very enjoyable
Yeah this is a good one. I’d also like to point out this type of thinking is cross disciplinary and works in other types of entrepreneurship.
Definitely!
This is a pretty powerful clip.
Loved this
Love this❤
If all this motivational talks guarantee success, I would bet there won't be that 99% or at least, will be significantly less. I would also bet that the 99% mostly did exactly or even more than the 1% that succeeded. Motivational talk, with all its good intention, can mislead because people remember the hits but not the misses. It usually comes from people who either are privileged, well-connected, etc., are good at grifting in one way or another; talent and hard work may be just few of the many moving parts. And yes, there is indeed a "third entity", it is called luck and that's beyond everyone's control.
Seeing Jason declare himself a failure has gotten to me because chances are I'm not going to "make it". But pursuing a career in LA has now become a greater challenge because it's full of has beens. So Hollywood and its "famous" actors have that huge dilemma. I'd rather go watch TH-cam than watch a movie because I don't like sci-fi, crime thrillers and comic book heroes anymore. Now there are TH-cam celebrities out of nowhere that are making millions. So it's not that Jason's a failure. It's Hollywood that has become a failure now.
Adapt or die
Yesszzsszz amen amen amen amen amen *** correct ***
So truthful
The man expresses himself well, but I dislike some of his advice.
Throwing something at the internet every day approach isn't doing good to our society, or the quality of artists or art.
...
and rationalizing the rejection of no may be healthy, but it's essentially: "have a defense mechanism and keep going". good advice I guess.
...
I also deeply dislike the 10 average films over 1 masterpiece. you're not bezos or Netflix. you're not responsible for creating jobs. artists should (in an idealized society) only concern themselves with creating their vision
discipline and testing yourself is good though
I disagree with this idealized take entirely and I'm not even in these fields.
Sometimes you need to put in the work first before doing your vision. These mediums are artistic expressions, sure, but you gotta eat.
I believe he meant that obsession over perfection or that masterpiece isn’t going to happen immediately, you need those average films not because you strive to make average because in each one you are finding yourself and what works and doesn’t work for you then your masterpiece starts to be easier to make. Same thing with throwing something at the internet everyday it’s to help you grow and find your audience or how can you relate to your audience better with each video. The great artist of yesteryear did a lot of things examples divinci he didn’t finish a lot of things because he was throwing something out in the world everyday.
Yea alot of these guys are hacks... Do it like James Cameron let's go!
@@calmexit6483 I'm not judging the person (you indeed gotta eat), merely a society designed around the idea of quantity over quality, especially when there's 7 billion of us
I wonder if this guy has been exposed enough to the industry to talk so lightly about people selling their souls. Signing away who you are and becoming a star is a very real thing in the industry. That is why going into the industry with desperation is very dangerous. When you are desperate you become a target for predators, especially women.
The biggest mistake people make is calling something crazy without doing the homework themselves. What most of the masses don't understand is that there are two worlds; the world of secrecy where the language of symbology is primarily spoken and the open, public world where the primary language of English is spoken. The best advice he gave was having a way to sustain yourself so you won't go into the snake pit desperate. The trick to get past all the evil and nonsense is making your own product, to create your own buzz. When your work becomes popular enough the producers and directors will come to you. It's far easier said than done, but it can be done.
this dude has Will smith vibes in a good way
Go back to school for something that will make you money. That's what I needed to hear already working on it but I really feel great shooting and need more exposure to it but I know I'm not setup to make good money doing it atm
Edit: Oh that was for 18 year olds lol.
Yeah, never stay with someone who is a person you just met.
He has great advices but i dont get why we are learning how to make it from a person who also didn't make it
Learning from the mistakes of others, only makes the roads a bit easier to travel. The very fact he's being interviewed, and advice sought in this industry, demonstrate that he's done more than 99% of the population ever will.
@@jamessmith7909 But that doesn't answer Raven's question. The fact that "he's being interviewed" means nothing if he's not offering more than "this is what I did wrong".
@@maxsdad538 He is offering something! The opportunity to learn from his mistakes.
@@maxsdad538 if u think he needs to “make it” then u not good at listening
U do understand making it is different just because he not in Hollywood doesn’t mean he didn’t make it
…couldn’t cut it as a poor man stealing
This is gibberish
This video was amazing. Best I’ve seen from your Chanel even tho all the videos are very good! 🫶🏽
Cheers Zilan! More to come!
He's not clear
