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

My grandmother, who was a grammar teacher, always said, "write as if you're talking".
This explains why I hate my own poetry when I'm trying to be "professional." Great video. <3
“talking” and “pontificating” was helpful for me to understand the distinction he’s getting at
Jack Grapes comes closer to the essence of real writing than anyone I have ever listened to. I spent many years as a professional writer and he nails what it means to write with every statement.
This is my favorite CZcams channel and is very underrated
He's definitely spot on. Reminds me a former college professor of mine always used to say that if you can't explain it in layman's terms to your grandmother, you probably don't understand it that well yourself.
"Write drunk, edit sober" is the creative writing advise that got me through most of highschool. This is a great series because it is very intuitive for me. I'm definitely buying Jack's books 😅
"They're a con man and they're flummoxing with jibberjabber. " Well worth the entire interview.
You and Jack Grape together make the best of this series.
This Guy is REALLY REALLY GOOD!!! Keep Him Coming BACK, To Your Program!!! He Can Help People in So Many Way's.
This guy is a handful, he really nails his points and goes the distance to drive it home. One of my favorite videos so far.
The part where he was pontificating as if he were the defense lawyer who had memorized a script and got fully into character was the moment I went to amazon and bought his book lol
Jack Grapes has changed the way I write. His knowledge from all of his videos is a treasure trove of expertise and experience. Also, how he explains his knowledge is clearly and carefully -said.
He was great - would enjoy hearing more on the literary voices he referenced
Another FANTASIC video! Thank you for sharing it.
This is game changing information ! A lot of people fall into the loop of trying to write for talking when the truth is you need to write how you speak for how you’ll speak! As redundant as that sounds.
He kills me! Such a great communicator.
I always struggle to have my voice when I am trying to impress myself. It's so contrived. Its when I write in a fury what I need to say, regardless of whether its pretty or not, where it feels authentic. There is always more nuance in truth than in lies
You had me at “intestinal fortitude.” Hilarious!!! I’m going to sign up for your class.
Thank you Thank you Thank you.
