►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

What do you think about this approach to story?

[@ErnestThoughtsPodcast]

I think it's refreshing to see another writer create in this "forget the rules" kind of format. I enjoyed learning about The Hero's Journey and other rules to writing a novel or screenplay but like her I do feel like it is more so restricting than it is helpful, for my work.

[@regevvino]

What I actually love in this channel is the interesting and fantastic people I get to know. I feel like I have the privilege to expose myself to someone new in my life, Even if it's limited.

[@ratemyactors]

Loved this video! Lux Raven's honesty and candidness about her writing process is refreshing and relatable. I've found myself struggling with traditional story structures too, and it's reassuring to know that even successful authors like Lux experiment and take risks in their writing. Can't wait to see more of her insights and tips in the future!

[@rikbhattacharja]

The right interview I needed at the right moment! Thank you Lux Raven!

Lucky you

Great to hear!

#FilmCourage -- I appreciate your efforts to inform and support upcoming writers as well as those of us who are lateral to the profession, HOWEVER, either the questions you pose or the people you are speaking to are delivering ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE and superficial opinions that are NOT wisdom at all. -- Lux Raven is NO learned pioneer... she NEEDS to follow Story Structure and is not breaking ground by ignoring established precedent. For her to suggest such a thing to young writers IS NOT HELPING. --

This inspiration for me to create my project

Werner Herzog also rejects story structure. He stated that the 3 act structure was brainless and claims that its ubiquity in the classrooms of film school is the reason why so many films today are predictable.
