►WE USE THIS CAMERA (B&H) - buff.ly/3rWqrra
►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

What’s the worst junk job you have ever had?
Let me show you my resume.
@@happybirthdaypaulie8584Oh dang 😂
I wrote something in the Community tab post, but don't you think every creator views their current non-creative job as a "junk job" of sorts? I mean, I see my current job as my health insurance generator. Frankly, the self employed must do *quite* well for themselves to afford their own health insurance. As it stands, I use both my job angst and victories in my writing.
@@5Gburn no kidding. The advice I've most consistently gotten when it comes to ditching the day job for one in the arts is to do so when making thrice what you need to get by. With various benefits, taxes, etc, it makes sense.
@@happybirthdaypaulie8584that is a stupid amount of money. One book may earn you 7k if you're lucky. Wrh
The worst job is my current job: long distance truck driving. I want to work on my novel full time.
I feel you, man. I'm a baker, after working night shifts all week I feel very tired.
God, I wish you could, I could feel that.
I bet it will be good.
That’s a hard job. But lots of time to think and generate ideas.
Have you tried dictation? Lots of speech to text software you can use and then just edit the text.
@@irisf.5575 Thanks for your input. Writing and speaking (dictation) are to me entirely different. I do though generate ideas that I write down. Also, I listen to books on Audible which has been amazing. I've substituted landscape photography for writing. Thanks 😎👍
I think this is the major strain of anyone with creative projects. Finding time to work on them when you still have a job and other life aspects that nothing to do with writing. Especially if it pays the bills. I try to write as much as I can but I have gone month focusing on work and bills. Some time you got to force yourself to write when your mentality exhausted
Yes, the stream of life just takes its hold and one day you (for the nth time) notice while riding the carousel that its been two weeks or month or months since the last time I wrote anything
You can't live "empty" if you're concerned about keeping a roof over your head. In fact, anxiety over circumstances will keep your head full so I wish that had been a bit more helpful. :/
Does FC ever do workshops or meet and greets for like-minded ppl? I think if FC hosted mixers, it would be beneficial for us to start or continue our crafts. Especially here in LA and after the strikes.
It is true, currentlyI go through this phase of my life. Great tirmely interview helping me.
Am I the only one getting the vibe this lady doesn’t quite understand the current world in which the rest of us live in? I mean, I’d love to just not worry about money and chase all my dreams. But let’s be real here, even if deciding to be a couch crasher at all of your friend’s houses as you opt not to have a day job while following artistic endeavors is not viable for a long term plan. And also, if you’re like most people under cropping student, that debt won’t magically park itself and wait for you to turn an income off your art.
So while I appreciate the “you’ll find money” mantra…it also comes off as this person has not lived in the same set of circumstances as most. Not saying she maybe didn’t live on meager earnings in her early days…but there’s a difference between living cheaply while you scrape by and being financially destitute and homeless.
Valid. It's a generational thing isn't it. Situations are different now. People now have massive student loan debt, the housing-income ratio is completely different and untenable for many. Cost of living etc. There are benefits that younger generations have tho - largely due to technology - and women certainly have different choices (in some areas anyway), but the general situation economically is very different to what she would have experienced.
The father thing was a bit trite also, if not gaslighting. I have a great Dad - and have had the odd boss that was definitely not. Just because you have a sleazy, abusive, demanding prick of a boss does not mean you have "daddy issues". It means you need to leave (or report them).
Imagine working a job not just for the money. Wow
Never knew that feeling...
@@ogelsmogel i think most won't
Such beautiful deep questions, excellent video
Interesting what she says about going back to bad circumstances as being needed for some peope to "heal that thing." Seems true that there are some lessons we have to internalize before moving forward.
I outline and write a synopsis then hire a ghost writer to write the script sometimes. I can’t write all my own ideas. No time.
Nah this vid ain’t it. It’s like getting health advice for a headache from someone who never had a headache.
