►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

Do you think 'write every day' is bad advice?

[@Khatoon170]

No it’s great advice beside reading too .

[@Khatoon170]

No it’s good advice beside reading too .

[@didamnesia3575]

It is Fn horrible advice. Just like "practice everyday". No. Take breaks. Have other interests and research for your work. If your goal is burnout, write every day. Everyday should be towards your goal, and sometimes that means taking a break. It's OK to only work 4-6 days a week

[@elementeight8]

I think it’s great advice for those that can do it. I write everyday because I can’t live without writing. Some people feel paralysed by things like this, so it’s always good to follow advice that works for you.

[@tlovelosesit2979]

Not all all. It's necessary for sure

"If you hand write your entire first draft of a screenplay, then you HAVE to do a second draft when you type it!"

[@psychedianic]

Writing daily is an excellent habit to cultivate. Writing by hand is my very first step. When I type up the results for printing out and editing, there are always new additions to the original handwritten draft as I'm typing. I print out the results, hand write the edits, go back and type them up again. Longhand is critical to my daily creative thinking process but I've been at this a very long time, having started out only handwriting before consumer grade computers were a thing. Great interview and kudos to the interviewer. Always a pleasure to hear her conduct these talks. ❤

[@bobwolf58]

To me it does feel like you gain momentum. And suffer from iniertia when you don’t. And i can feel finding words gets easier when i write more, like warming up the joints. Now if only i could write every day! Thank you for the video!

[@tedereTSSK]

Every little bit helps.

[@Khatoon170]

Mr l. P lipscome . Thank you for your wise advice. Iam Arabic lady subscriber to several British and American KZbin channels since Christmas 2019 . Iam always keeping notebooks and pen beside me because Iam not native speaker. Google is our library and KZbin channels as open universities. You stared your career in 2006 as director and became writer . You are really inspiring person . Yes writing skill is talent , but working hard , such as close reading making great results. It’s doesn’t matter which topic if we feel sad or happy writing on paper is good remedy . Yes we must read all genres of book to be well educated and write perfectly.

[@jimjo8541]

I loathe writing by hand. As a visual person (overly critical of anything I make by hand!), I find the constant SAME font on a writing program to be soothing. That way I can really FOCUS on what I’m writing and not how it looks. I know it sounds silly, but it’s true. Write how you feel comfortable. This is good advice, but you’ve gotta go with what makes you comfortable. Of course, I do make notes on my script in freehand.

[@drimeloca]

I loved him! He's a sage!

[@4EverILoveHalloween]

I write every day, even if it's just for an hour or two... or five hours. It's really the only thing that i can do, as of right now, to keep my mind focus and sharp. I definitely agree with this video, though. The more you write, the more momentum you'll gain. I think to "write every day" is very good advice.

[@wexwuthor1776]

Writing everyday is good because it engages your soul.

[@LondonBrazilianDancers]

Thank you very much for your advice.

[@wexwuthor1776]

People say that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.

[@rae_vandaloo]

Really great video. Thank you

[@ScriptSleuth]

Damn... There is some really deep insight in this video, way beyond the idea of writing every day. I absolutely love the positive outlook and energy from P.M.!

[@elementeight8]

“Sober from negativity.” Excellent. Brilliant interview. Insightful and wise.

[@WhatGrenadeWhere]

So I need to work on my PGA2k23 golf course every day instead of this weekend or that weekend. Great advice. And thank you Film Courage. I'm not a writer but fascinated with the screenplay. Appreciate it.

[@ConsciousConversations]

1:45 so agreed on this!!🎯🎯 Momentum building.. it’s all about motion! And now more than ever we need to work out the brain!!

[@LifeperienceCinema-ro9md]

Gotta do it for myself . I've got to just finish the one in my mind everyday . I Gotta .

[@ratemyactors]

Loved this video! P.M. Lipscomb's passion for filmmaking is infectious and his point about writing every day is really resonating with me. Going to try to incorporate this into my own creative routine, thanks for the inspiring advice!

[@stephenclements6158]

This guy gets it.

[@chaznoonan]

This is great stuff.

Thanks for watching Chaz!

[@waveland]

At the very least daily writing keeps your mind in the habit of formulating ideas into descriptive words and grammatical sentences. Not everyone will find it productive to attempt turning out finished script pages every day of their lives. But professional writers shouldn’t be any different than a professional musician. There’s an intricate mind-body synthesis and coordination at work, and if you walk away from your underlying methods and technique for any length of time, then expect your virtuosity to fade. And at the same time, do whatever it takes to keep the daily exercise of writing from becoming tedious or boring. Stay fresh and at ease with your craft.

[@geoffhoutman1557]

I’ve found a key in writing at the same time every day. Trains you brain to go into writing mode for a few hours. Ruth Prawer Jhabvala is famous for it

[@tlovelosesit2979]

I love love this I use to long hand all my first drafts. I miss writing. I have to get back to it. I can no longer keep saying I'm a writer when I'm barely writing. I should always be writing I needed to see this

[@filmcourage]

We're glad to see you find some inspiration in this video! Love that this one found you. Our best to you as you find your way back to writing.

[@subramanianramamoorthy3413]

Write a few days. Stop it for a few days. It gives a time to ferment the writings and relook at it. Then make little tinkering and tweaking, and then speed up because new ideas emerge and the same will not arise if it is a daily routine. Writing Gap helps,to sequence the logic and refreshen initial write up. Smooth ending results at the end

God Seeker , will you be my agent ? I'll pay you what I can .

I find myself avoiding people who are constantly wanting something. They’re basically unhappy and are not realizing the misery their thoughts are causing them and others.

It only matters if there is substantial advancement every day. You can't fool yourself for too long by writing 1% /day.

[@mchammer1836]

At that rate in 100 days you'd have it written! Good pace

[@v-22]

[@natkojurdana9673]

screw the 'substantial advancement', just write every day and don't concern yourself with the progress. After some time progress will become obvious.
