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

"What you do in the dark when no one is looking..." You get prepared for this years before ever picking up a camera or showing up on set. Sage advice for sure. Love this guy's outlook. Infectious.

[@midnightkiteflight6333]

How is this guy not getting you millions of views? Everything he says is (at least) profound. I mean, I'm a composer but I've learnt so much from filmmakers. I feel so indebted to that art form. Legit this guy should be in charge at marvel or whatever, instead of the hack frauds that are over there now.

[@FilmCourage2]

We had a great time with Jason. Love to see others relating to his story and outlook on the industry.

[@RT38916]

Great Interview. I can definitely relate to a lot of things he said. It's important to constantly remind myself to think positively about every project assigned to me. Even if it's not a Hollywood feature film, I have to just enjoy the moment and put my hard work into the project in front of me.

[@kevinreily2529]

Exactly, Ross, that is the attitude more people need. I am from LA, many friends and family in different aspects of the entertainment industry. Most people come to Hollywood and never think about "what they have to contribute"!

[@BrownlandPictures]

I have visions of the project I’m working on, of what it can become and how powerful it really is. The only real discouragement I get is the thought that I won’t get to complete the project and pull my vision through. What I do to solve this is that I try to add something to the project everyday, like reading over the script, visualize scenes and monologues, design backgrounds and environments etc.

[@MovieBuffConnorJamieson]

Yeah I was working on my longest film (like 25 mins) and I had a long preproduction. I used it to make everything meaningful. You can say something about the story with a color or a shot or a prop and just using all those tools is what makes great movies. It was sadly pushed cuz of Corona but I can't wait to shoot it soon

[@QualquerCoisa387]

It´s so great to wake up to the magnificence of what we´re doing, as simple as it can be. It´s always a part of something bigger, much bigger than us and of what we expect. Brilliant! I have lived already that experience of self-respect and self-validation, towards small jobs I´ve done. So valid and extremely inspiring, Mr. Satterlund. Thank you!

[@venkyavofficial]

Thank you for your honesty Mr. Satterlund. Inspiring.

[@PANOP123]

What a wonderful person, energy and contribution to the industry and world. Thank you. Let’s all do our part to inspire and support this kind of kindness and focus.

[@unclejezza]

Jesus…… This is exactly the thing I needed to hear exactly the moment I needed to hear it. Thank you KZbin algorithm… Thank you.

[@CristenIris]

Another excellent video. Thank you so much for your transparency, Mr. Satterlund and FC for putting these out.

[@FilmCourage2]

Thank you Cristen, we're grateful for the time you spend with us.

[@shirleytemple7216]

The integrity of when no one is looking, doing the work anyway.

[@thefilmwindow9703]

[@moetarded7757]

Anxiety. Sounds like a really good story. Portland Oregon. I thought I recognized this guy. So cool. It would happen more often if the need was there.

[@mrjohnbaseley]

A year gone buy and I still think this is one of the best..

[@kartikeya758]

He is so honest...

[@redbokolesmedia9282]

I do low budget videos in Nashville, I feel this mans pain 😂

[@funnyfiveminutes]

Comes across as a good guy

[@theman2017inc]

gives out good vibes!

[@chazmax-np4xe]

Seems like an artist who is getting the most out of his resources.

[@MenaCourtadeProductions]

I needed this. Thank you! We are the creator of dreams we are the dream makers!

[@theman2017inc]

WOW INDEED what a interesting man sharing his fascinating experiences and journey as an creative/ filmmaker

[@Fleischkopf]

[@lynda8852]

Thank you so much for the work you have put into this video It's helped me How to lift my energy when doing a project I needed this bit as I got stuck Best wishes

[@michaelmaccarthy7282]

Love this guy.

[@SDW90808]

What an inspiring message!

[@marissabelmarte3038]

AWESOME!!! I've learned a lot!!

[@avtpro]

Wow.

[@newtonpathak1534]

This is a great interview, why is the focus on the wall behind him rather than on his face. Being a focus puller I was bothered by it, but I learned that I have to deal with this problem with Joy so here I am jolly as a Roger suppressing my cynical side lmfao

[@danielpadrotargarona8374]

why the wall behind is in sharper focus than Jason?

[@QualquerCoisa387]

Because it is a picture. He was filmed with a green wall behind.

[@richarddow8967]

You should look inside for heaven, then bring that outward to share.

[@DARKLYLIT]

I feel like, by a certain age, it's more about wondering if working on a "less-than-stellar" project is a waste of one's time. Indeed, you can CHOOSE to be creative on any project, but it is a bit demoralizing if the end product looks a bit like...well... Crap (like Jason's buddy's TV series he was shooting). I would be curious to know how Jason feels about working on industrials/commercials, especially if he has worked on products/subjects he is not particularly passionate about or interested in. I love acting and have done hundreds of commercial auditions but, quite frankly, I really don't have any interest in trying to sell products which, for the most part, no-one NEEDS. As an actor, I know it's really not my job to judge that, but it's pretty challenging to try to feel passionate about something that you don't have any belief in and to simply focus on the "acting" part of your job and relish that. It's hard not to think that you are likely wasting your time and perhaps you'd rather NOT be getting paid and just creating your own, more meaningful project, even if it's simply creating some good theatre. Money and Time. Which is more valuable to you?

[@burtonfzz]

Wow

[@alexispapageorgiou72]

Pretty sure they started that masterpiece with the fossilized mosquito
