►WE USE THIS CAMERA (B&H) - buff.ly/3rWqrra
►WE USE THIS SOUND RECORDER (AMAZON) - amzn.to/2tbFlM9
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

[@apocalypse369]

Yep this is what i did back in 2022. Quit my full-time job, moved to a new city and got enrolled in film school. Its been a blessing and a journey learning as i go. Yes it has been worth it ❤

[@RehanaLatif]

Very relatable for me and for many I guess. I like your answers they are honest and truthful. 🌺

[@SIBIRIAKoriginal]

100% true for me.

[@filmcourage]

Are you doing what you love?

[@apocalypse369]

No, not yet. One day in the future hopefully but until then I'm loving the process of learning the craft.

[@kengregory8277]

Yes! There’s a saying that I heard years ago, in college that has been my mantra… “When you do what you love, then it’s not work!”

[@kevinzhang6623]

Hell no

[@kit888]

Writing a genre novel. Making even short films is a total pain. Too much coordination and planning. With the novel, it's just me and my computer. Still love watching your channel because so much of the screenwriting advice applies to novels too.

[@ryanhowell4492]

Cool

[@Knuhben]

"Start doing what you love" and than be crippled by unrealistic ESG bullshit, totally ruining your vision, your ideas and the overall setup of the movie.

[@ElfTaleFilms]

Future of Filmmaking is Hew Now: no more actors or cameras, only AI!

[@kit888]

Sora needs another year or two, but basically, yeah. I think a lot of people are in denial. Wait for appeals to your sympathy for unemployed production crews versus soulless AIs and billionaire technoproneurs, and maybe legislation or Hollywood union coercion against the producers and writers guilds. That's next.

[@ElfTaleFilms]

@@kit888 End customer will decide on this.

[@freeyourmind112358]

​@ElfTaleFilms lmao imagine thinking consumers have any control over the market😂 Ppl will buy what corporations program them to buy, and the only opinion they care about is what stockholders think of them
