►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

![Why 99% Of Stories Are Meaningless - Alan Watt [Founder of L.A. Writers' Lab]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/v4wkx8LBH_s/mqdefault.jpg)
How did you enjoy this process?
Are you playing with a full deck?
Story Engine Deck... yes. In real life... debatable.
@@filmcourage 🤣💥
Has he been on before? The way it started, seems like I heard him talk about this. But there were no cards the last time.
The deck certainly opens up ideas, but listening to Jeff and watching his process... sitting at the feet of the master.
Both are awesome!
Advice from a guy who finally wrote his 110,000 word magnum opus of a novel.
1. Do not edit as you write, note the needed fixes and adjust your future pages accordingly. but don’t go back and fix scenes. It’s better to push through to the end and realize you need to add some more ingredients or spices, than to stop halfway through and make an entirely different dish.
2. Get paralyzed from the waist down so that you have time off work and nothing better to do than write.
Thank you for this lol. I'm definitely guilty of constantly going back and changing things while I write. I even noticed this while I play videogames! I will start a character and play for a while then make a new character so I can adjust my build or the way they look or something.
R u famous ?😂
#1 is great advice. While I am planning out my story, I am discovering how beneficial it is to redo certain parts, but not delete. I feel so much more productive, and I am able to see that I might be able to use 2 versions of a character; maybe the character changes, or maybe the character can be split up.
By forcing myself to not delete ideas, I can see that I can come up with 600-1,000 words of ideas [ie.e: ideas, not just prose] in a day, and that was a huge struggle before.
"To wield two swords, you must first pick up two swords. I know it's hard; it will get easier." Musashi said that, and I think that can be true for many many things.
How to start writing: start writing
Well yes. We could go the Dunning-Kruger route, but it would be better to get some knowledge first...
@@minorityofthought1306you can't know what you don't know unless you have a baseline
There's more merit than you might think to this. It does help to just start writing your stream of consciousness onto the page. (at least for me) once I start getting literally anything down I start to edit it and usually just end up removing it anyway, but now I'm getting my mind working and I'm getting writing on the page. Simply having words on the page motivated me and I just start writing more stuff eventually you'll think of something good. *REMEMBER* DON'T DELETE ANYTHING cut and paste it somewhere else or something, but don't delete it. You may end up wanting to use that idea somewhere else.
@@minorityofthought1306
Depends on if you're waiting for knowledge to start.
Most people who overthink things before they start end up not starting at all.
You've risk entering the low confidence middle phase of the Dunning-Kruger curve without writing a page.
😂😂😂so 3 hours of joke
This videos just keeping me company really
Coming up with a general plot isn't very difficult, making sure you hit all the important and expected plot points is much more difficult. If there was a card deck that helped with that, I would be all in...
I love it
You can not start writing until and unless you got some part inside you who likes literature, story , journalism etc … it’s a long build philosophical process … and writing is painfull .. process … Card can help you to understand some vague concepts and ideas and connections of dots … that’s all .. but I suppose can be a good starting point
Aside from the automaton, the supposedly less capable of the 4 remind of surprise ending stories by Rod Sterling, Alfred Hitchcook or the minor characters in the first Blade Runner. Or Walter Mitty.
You just start even when you feel like the only you get better if you keep writing have someone trusted look at you work when first started horrible over time got better with god help
How about leaving LA ?
Memories, cherished by the clones in Blade Runner.
who was adding their own idea and effectively writing their own story based on the ideas Jeff was tossing around?
+1
I thought the son could tell the robot that with the billions of dollars they make they could more effectively give health care to all those who survive, and given that those who die from the contagion were in poor health anyway, ultimately those who die by releasing a contagion would be morally acceptable collateral damage for the greater good. This rationale along with being able to have a human body could persuade the robot. Also, with a bit of tweaking of the robot's program, the robot's now on board. But then the robot gets obsessed and crosses a line, thereby becoming the villain, and we find out that the son was ultimately altruistic and tries to stop the robot. (I left out a few inciting incidents there, but that's the gist. Adds a nice twist to the story.)
What is this deck?
This is the Story Engine deck!
How do I get one!?
@@JoshCaldwellBakerlook up story engine. I bought the every single box they had lol
I wish the story engine came out a long time ago. I use AI to do this stuff now. I just tell it the basics of what I'm having writer's block with or plot issues I'm having and ask it to generate possible outcomes. Works wonders.
Can you give an example?
@@Fnelrbnef Basic example: I have a character that needs to get to point B and is equipped with these tools -- list tools -- but I need their means to fit within these restrictions -- list restrictions or things occurring in the story -- what are possible ways they can utilize said tools to get to point B with the mentioned restrictions?
The AI will then pop out a bunch of responses and you can cherry pick from and refine by telling it to correct for elements or anything that might not fit your vision. From there you just keep going. I use it especially for research. Before you would have to scour books or the web for a long time just to learn about subjects to build from -- with AI, you can just ask for all the possibilities for anything you want and it pops it out. You can ask it to check for criticism of your story as well. Does the plot logic make sense? Is there anything wrong with the argument my character/s is trying to make? Etc. It's amazing. Writer's block, no more.
@@Fnelrbnef I felt the ending to my short story was weak. I told AI the basic premise of the story and asked for ending suggestions. It gave me several, some of them quite good. But none that I felt suited the story. However, there were a few that really opened my mind up and got me thinking down new paths. Result was that I came up with my own ending, which also introduced some interesting elements to the story and brought the stories theme to the surface. I was struggling with that, too.
Another possibility with the wish fulfillment modifier is that the robot was created as a gift to someone to fulfill their wish.
