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

I like the straightforwardness he used to respond to some of questions. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

[@filmcourage]

What do you like about this video?

[@iamVJLopez]

The holding companies and llc portions are totally new for me. Things I have not considered when thinking about aiming to make a film.

[@rickvalentine44]

Everything.

[@Warrior1Spartan]

A lot of it, but I still don't understand how points work on a contract like the ones he's discussing. Does a point equal a percentage of what the film makes?

[@thefutureapocalypse]

Every sentence.

[@rickvalentine44]

@@Warrior1Spartan Yes

[@RichardDuryea]

I don’t know any rich people. How do I link with these investors?

[@warriorclassmedia]

How to get it 🎉💸💳💲💴💵💶

[@JERSEYBOYPLAY2HARD]

Make cheap movies and build a fanbase Or get really lucky with a script that everyone wants to see and work of networking

[@grantgreyguda]

👍 👍

[@EasyZee69]

This is why I could never be an independent film maker, I could never hustle people for money, I just don't have it in me. I would feel super awkward, like a sleazy used car salesman. I could write a movie or show, I could direct, I could animate, I could do just about anything, except for hustling for money off people.

[@salvagemonster3612]

Well that and you don’t have any talent. I know your mom and public school teacher told you how awesome you are and you could do anything

[@vishnuprasadfilms]

You’re not being sleazy if you’re providing them value. It’s an investment, while it is risky, it’s still an opportunity. Sounds like you don’t believe in a project or yourself enough to as for money. If that’s true, you can always self fund projects

[@jdsartre9520]

"There's no other reason than to make money for big studios" Has this guy been off-planet for the past 10 years? Try changing the culture and social engineering, at the cost of losing money.

[@corpsefoot758]

If you don’t think these companies thought all those tactics were hyper-profitable pandering to begin with, which planet have YOU been on lmao
