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/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

@@fraseralexandertomshe talked about financing a movie in a different interview on this channel. He said investors don’t care much about the movie, they mostly care about whether or not they can make their money back. You need to forecast the possible amount you can make from the movie and also have a potential distributor on the line waiting to have a look/acquire it. These numbers will help the investors know that your product is a viable one. Just like on shark tank, the “numbers” matters. Hope this helps.

When I started seeing "Originals" I was done. I don't want your "originals." I want the catalog I was paying for. I get that other companies pulled their titles to start their own streaming companies but I don't care. I paid $12 a month for access to basically everything. Now I get movies with torrents and use Plex because even if Netflix happens to have something I want to see, I have to assume it'll be gone by the time I can watch it. Piracy is going to explode.

@matthewkemp594
@matthewkemp594 2 года назад
Netflix and Amazon both follow a data-driven model of deciding which projects are going to be made. They attach key words to every book, TV show and movie they have available. They track what people watch, look at the keywords associated with that content, and then recommend more stuff with those keywords. More importantly, they can assign a dollar value to making a show/movie with those keywords associated. When the likely dollar value of a potential project exceeds the necessary budget by a set percentage, you approve the project. Obviously, based on their recent output, this process does not prevent projects from being heavily politicized or utter garbage. It is, however, a great way to find unserved markets.

In a decade or so, when people lament the state of the arts in general, they will look to this sort of thing as the reason. We turned creativity into an enterprise, then into a corporation.

The question is what medium will the true art be distributed through because it certainly will not be a streaming platform.

You kind of have to do this "elevator pitch" with novels. Your idea has to fit within one or two sentences for a publisher, because they see vast numbers of pitches. Eg my novel's "Formula 1 in space with a team fighting back against colonialism." Or something. Still working on that. Now if somebody says "colonialism, what's that got to do with F1" you might be able to hook some interest with a brief synopsis. That is, if they don't just toss your idea in the bin.

@NeverForget1776 2 года назад
What the interviewer doesn't make clear at the start is that the Netflix original pitch is for a movie not yet made where as the other pitch is for an already made movie you're trying to sell. With that understanding it's logical why Netflix isn't interested in the story just the marketing and potential audience numbers. The content is done so the story/content is fixed so it's the rest that matter. You coukd have the best made movie in history but if there isn't enough of an audience for it why would Netflux care what the story is? I don't think this results in more bad content, that comes from believing in bad data/sources. Bigtech, mainly social media, has tweaked algorithms to artificially promote certain ideological beliefs as being widely shared when they aren't. This is so as to convince the majority they are the minority and thus need to rethink their stance because most humans seek to be a part of the perceived majority. Its a psychology game. This has lead to industries like movies and series making garbage that few want. These industries have relied on source data that I'm the past has worked because it wasn't being tampered with.

Seems like the era of film making when writers and prospective directors like James Cameron and John Carpenter are more or less dead and gone. It's always painful and depressing when all of us out there with great ideas and stories essentially know that either we find a few million dollars lying around in a back alley to make our dreams come true or simply accept that no one steering around the big three is ever going to take a chance on anything other than a Chinese market pandering or superhero crap.

@KratostheThird 2 года назад
Very true. That's why I've come to absolutely detest DC Universe and Marvel fanboys because they are just contributing to the superhero crap that's plagued the movie industry in Hollywood for the past decade or so. Movies like The Shawshank Redemption, Goodfellas, The Matrix and countless others from the 80s - early 2000s are more entertaining and original than practically any Marvel movie made in the past two - three years. But try to point out any of these movies to these fanboys and they will just deny everything you said, despite having hard evidence that some real creative filmmakers and writers were involved in those films.

This entire interview explains why so few good stories get made... "Its all about the marketing" This is what is wrong with modern entertainment and why so much garbage gets made. Jeff's advice might be accurate and correct and how to get on Netflix but maybe indie filmmakers should just stop pandering to them and just make good movies??? If your selling a movie you already made and have to build your audience and do all the marketing Jeff does .. what exactly do you need Netflix for?

4:11, wait what? You have 2 million views on RU-vid, why does Netflix want to buy it, because why would anyone pay to see it if it was on RU-vid free? How does Netflix know that the audience hasn't already sold through? I'm missing something here...

Netflix is terrible, only decent thing I’ve seen on there is The Witcher series but 99% of the originals is just awful. I don’t understand why people say they’re good

I’d like less people who think this way. “Oh whatever, the story is fine I’m sure. Think about marketing.” That’s how we end up with mediocre movies and recycled material. This kind of guy is why all movies now are either inferior remakes or corporately heavy-handed messes.

Netflix is an abomination to the industry and more importantly the film goer. People gorge themselves 24/7 on forgettable C grade 'content' and have no will to wait a few months for an epic movie that they could talk about for years to come.

Absolutely agree. That C grade 'content' is just insulting to the viewer.

With Netflix, before anything else, you have to tell them: Who's the LGBT character. If it's an adaptation, which characters have been race/gender/orientation swapped, to make it more woke and inclusive. Confirm the baddies are straight white mâles. You've got these, you've got your money !

This guy does not look depressed because of the directness and stricness of the world. He seems like he accepts it for what it is and he makes it his goal in his pitches to offer something valuable rather be a just receiver and expect everyone to support his dreams and aspirations. I don't see this video as depressing, disappointing or frustrating. I see it as enlightening and wise. Life is lfe

It starts out hopeful- make a good story, have a hint of a gimmick, follow the right channels for the story..and then gets more cynical and "sellout-ish" as Jeff goes on. I think his other videos are good, but the substance of this one seems to be "make movies as a commercial commodity, not something unique."
