    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

      Not only is Jason a very lucid & knowledgeable director, but he also just strikes me as a great human being overall.
      What more can I ask for from a Film Courage video?🤘☺️

      I should say my interest is not in making films but in writing a novel. That said, I think there are many gems in this interview that apply to general life as well as film making.
      I like this man. He seems to be as genuine and upfront as they come. He’s extremely engaging and he has a high EQ. That’s not as commonly found as it could be if people weren’t afraid to be vulnerable. I admire that he has gotten to the level of maturity and self confidence that allows him this freedom.
      As far as craft, I loved his guidance on writing good scenes, especially the part about ‘on the nose’ writing. I had a different idea about what that was, but his thoughts on it shifted and expanded my understanding.
      I agreed with him about outlining. I’m early in my journey of learning craft; but I already have figured out I’m a plotter.
      Goals and stakes for both the protagonist and antagonist plus obstacles/conflict which includes directly opposite goals being foundation for compelling scenes is a concept that I really am glad to know before I started drafting. He did a service to make it clear.
      I’d say that cause and effect considerations should also be outlined between the scenes. I noted his tip about revealing information only after the reader either is / or should be looking for it. That’s a great way to think of it! That will help me to avoid info dumping.
      I loved his tips on character development too. Asking questions of yourself / the character seems key; and I’ve heard that repeatedly from other sources. The questions he posed were great - they are going in my character profile notes.
      Jason is one of my favorite people that you interview. I wish every good thing for him. I’m grateful he shared his experiences. I find his perseverance to be inspiring.
      I took notes. It was funny how certain things he said sparked related thoughts about things I’ve seen cited from other sources as well as my own (self-sourced insights) into characters I am developing for my first WIP. It was a cool experience and it happened a few times during this interview.

      I think Jason is very down to earth and very informative. I have some great movie ideas, and they started coming to me at the end of 2019. I have like 10 movie titles rite now that I'm currently gathering more info and subject matter for. I'm in North Carolina and would love to make some connections like he's talking about

      1st thing I heard him say was bringing on negative energy by having the wrong attitude about another's success, and he is so so rite...

  • @Respect2theFallen
    @Respect2theFallen Před 9 měsíci

    Just the beginning about not having a portfolio of actual movies being in the reel is really refreshing. I have various interviews, school projects, promos & few music videos under my belt. I need to network more to get more stuff produced though.

    WOW! Brother, you've just hit the NAIL on the head by stating the fact "Social media is a killer for creativity, and does art ZERO favors." As a self-comic book creator, I can confirm this. It only draws attention from toxic people, and it does little if anything to assist one career wise. That said, I can say with honesty and a tinge of pride that I have VERY postvely helped and changed a few young lives on social media. Those "good things" one does yet doesn't realize how big a deal this "good deed" is, until you see the return to one's kindness. I'm reluctant to even tell the two tales, as it ifeels like I'm bosting or (modern overused term warning) "virtue signaling." But, oh, rest assured, the "thank you" letters I've recieved are very moving, one of which, at the age of 43 gave me for the first time the knowledge of what it feels like to truely and meaningfully tell someone "I am happy for you!!!." Wow, did I mean that too. So, if it's good for anything, it's sadly, more fodder for character inspiration. Though the person on my mind I'd not like to thnk of as "fodder."

    1:22:36 I don't think a masterpiece can be forced into existence. The "genius" comes from the idea naturally coming to you when you least expect it.

  • @nikkinewbie6014
    @nikkinewbie6014 Před 6 měsíci

    On the whole villain always thinks he’s justified or on the right side etc and how they shouldn’t be just evil for evil’s sake - I mostly agree.
    Joker in The Dark Knight for instance shows us in one line of dialogue his motivation which comes from his world view “…I’m not a monster. I’m just ahead of the curve”.
    On the other hand, let’s not forget good old fashioned greed. The villain in Die Hard was just a thief. He didn’t justify it and knew he was in the wrong and was willing to kill all the hostages in his escape.
    But yes it’s more interesting to make the villains seem as if they think they are in the right.

    What was the movie on Amazon called? I rewinded that portion of this interview several times but I couldn’t make out what he said. He said the title very quickly and mumbled, I just couldn’t make out what he said. Somebody please help!😅
