    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

    This is coming from a person who is in the infancy stage of film production, Shannan has given a Masterclass full of insights and and the way she explains with details and examples allows me to visualize as she's speaking. I have gained so much from this Masterful interview/ Masterclass and by the way your Tiktok is super amazing that was my introduction to you a great Thinker so thank you this piece of work was tremendous I enjoyed the entire interview!!!!!

    One of the best within the best videos on this channel. Shannan is precise, clear, with optimistic enthusiasm and you can tell that she has the experience that she says. She speaks with the clarity that she knows what is happening in the industry. Thanks to the moderator for the key questions as always. Thanks for this class.

    Shannan brilliantly responded to the interviewer's questions without any hesitation, ambivalence, or, stalling. She was quick with responses and had analogies and examples to help make things crystal clear for me. She is an expert on Screenwriting and I'd love to learn more from her. Thank you Shannan! This interview was amazing.

    I am surprised that Shannan didn't mention getting information about her craft by going to the library when she said that CZcams was in its infancy. I'm sure there were books about being an executive in entertainment. I went to the library to get a lot of information about film and television back in the 80s when I decided to be a filmmaker/television writer and other forms of entertainment. And I still use the library and CZcams for future entertainment knowledge in all mediums.

    I think they thought of a different tone for the film american beauty.. and then the way it turned out with the editing and the music was a surprise to the director, not what he had expected, but better.
