    I'd like to see a more in-depth version where you film yourself doing these steps for an actual story and explain why you are making the choices. A kind of "watch me work" type of video, which is a lot like BTS videos. And we all learn more from BTS videos that anything else. ;^)

    I’m starting on that look book immediately. I filmed some things last night and my scene was completely ruined by mistakes that I made in pre production. The lighting was absolutely abysmal and my framing undoubtedly sucked. But these mistakes weren’t made without purpose. I learned a lot last night and made a list if things to fix. So it’s back to pre production and screen testing my ideas before I move back to production. Thank you guys for this video!

    The notes that he creates about the character is so valuable and MUST be shared with the actors as soon as possible. The actors many times are forced to create their own backstory and most likely it doesn't mesh with the Director's or Writer's vision.

      Lots of the people in a software group I'm in do that (one guy is doing the Timothy Zahn Thrawn books, and another just put out a gorgeous "prequel" to the first Alien film). It depends largely on how picky the original IP holder is. These guys make It very clear they don't own the rights, and that they don't make any money on them at all. It might help that these are animations instead of live action, as well, I'm not sure.

      Use the same lens for all your shots (move camera/actor for shot size) or use cinema lenses from the same manufacturer. Also do white balance with every new set up. Also it helps to take pictures of your shot to reference for later scenes/ shots.

    Who in the world is going to start noticing the meaning of the colors of the drapery on a set? That's crazy talk in my opinion. When I watched "There Comes a Knocking" and saw the actor's clothes from her in that jogging outfit all I thought of was that she went for a run. No one is, and hardly anyone cares about it. Most people when they watch a film are just laying back and watching it for the visual nature of the film and the sounds that are echoed from it. My friend let me noticed this when he was talking about Star Wars, saying, "The only reason why people watch Star Wars is to see people fight with lightsabers." so no one cares about story and theme in film. The only people who care about story and theme in film are those who research it, not those who watch it for entertainment and pleasure like most people do.
