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

Jean-Claude Van Damme didn't even speak english when he arrived in L.A. ...motivated guy!
Another great one. Thanks for sharing this.
Love this guy.
Have you moved to a major city to pursue performing arts? What was your plan and what happened?
Yep! Moved to LA mid-COVID. Lived in my car until I got restaurant gigs and an apartment in Hollywood. Writing and researching and processing/adjusting, for now.
@@forbyngmail im moving there in September. Im 19
Ironically, I've been considering how I'm going to move to Los Angeles later this year (or just California in general). And lately, I've been stressing about how I was going to go about getting there and making my way into "the business". This video was I N C R E D I B L Y helpful. Thank you for posting this!!!
I did : moved from Brest to Nantes. Trying to shoot my first feature
Things Change caught my attention. What was once Liberty Records is now a shoe store. They change indeed.
Can you find someone in LA who is knowledgeable in both Temperament Theory and Enneagrams and interview them about which personality types of Temperament and Enneagrams are more successful at being in the industry versus those who are not as successful (if at all) ?
I am INTJ and Type 5 - I think this means that I would fail at being in the industry. So, is an ESFP (my complete opposite) with Type 2 enneagram be more likely to succeed ? Can you re-poll people such as Michael or Chris Gore and ask them of their types ?
This all sounds miserable.
Ommina stick to being an indie animator. It's much cheaper, takes longer, and has less certain to make money, but at least I'm not dealing with all of the _bullshit._
My latest creation is being selected for festivals, and has already won an award from one. Screw Hollywood; don't need the headache.
