Stuff we use:
CAMERA - This is the camera we have used to film 90+% of our interviews (over 200 interviews and counting) It continues to be our workhorse - amzn.to/2u66V1J
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

Really dug the interview as well as Daniel's vibe. You can tell he really doesn't want to reject a film unlike a lot of other programmers who are looking at the films as a sort of nuisance sometimes. (Which is why so many Fests just regurgitate the programs from other big Fests.) I feel like HSFF does a great job of finding original stuff for the most part!

[@GarysReview]

This is exactly what I was looking for!

[@dirgramsey6132]

What is the best film class?

[@blist14ant]

Money is a big part of it also

[@kingkylie9655]

how so?

[@deliaproductions]

Sad sad sad process.

[@pratiknarayanan6586]

Can't find the link to the whole interview.

[@filmcourage]

Hi Pratik! Thank you for asking. We are still rolling out all of the videos from Dan’s interview. Will be a little bit before the full one is up. Thanks for watching and stay tuned! More awesome tips from Dan on the way...

Does this have anything to do with the "Courage Film Festival" in Berlin? I am a finalist I just found out for my script "My Dad, my Friend and Me." I'm a bit curious how they judge films that might not be the judge's personal taste, but still may make a good and successful film. They shouldn't have only high-brow, serious films winning awards. My films tend to be more funny and lighter themed, even if they deal with serious issues.

From the scale of 1 to 10, I rate this a sideways 8. 🔥♥️. Get it?

[@aineiasbabulis1512]

This video should be no longer than 3 minutes, but is way longer. Very important information but repeating the same things over and over again isn't very pleasant. Just some feedback.

[@davidraymer397]

Some people might enjoy it being longer. Guess they should have checked with you first what the length should be.
