+ PBS Digital Studios I LOVED her, I think she's a very good host :) (I liked Craig too, don't get me wrong). I also hope she considers the possibility of making her own ASMR channel. I would definitely follow :)
I feel like I'm going to love this series. I'm a Romanian film student looking to become a screenwriter, and seeing Lily mention one of our movies (The Death of Mr. Lazarescu) next to Brokeback Mountain made me extremely happy. I also find it very inspiring that she's the one presenting an otherwise fairly male-dominated field. It helps me believe that one day I can write my own films wihout having to worry about being a female screenwriter. Thanks, Lily!
+CrashCourse Looks like it will be a great series. Would have been nice to have an introduction of the host though as is usually done with other series so we can know why they're subject matter experts. I did google the host and saw she is an actress, but just thought I'd mention it anyway.
I think her energy level as far as voice and personality was "perfect" - not notably different than any of my favorite presenters. To me, if she were to be standing sometimes, and move her body and hands more - like the others do, it would be easier (for me) to focus. Obviously, this is a subjective thing and she doesn't need to be as animated as Criag, but the difference here is definitely jarring.
If you're reading this and it happens that you're working out on your first screenplay, always remember this quote: “Start writing, no matter what. The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on.” - Louis L’Amour
I have no academic background in film or media, and it has nothing to do with my work, but these Crash Course series on film history and film production are fantastic! Over the last couple of years I've learned to enjoy films not just as a way to stay entertained for 90 minutes, but also as a way to think about philosophy, aesthetics, sound, music and storytelling. Let's hope more people end up joining the audience!
Okay, one glance on the comment section and I realize I'm not the only one to find this is the best easy to digest crash course. I feel like I'm gonna love this so much. Thanks Lily!!
I am a film student so this doesn't count as procrastination, this is studying... right? So happy you are making these! Thank you Lily, thank you Crashcourse!
As a person planning to take Creative Media and Film Studies for A-Levels, this series (as well as Film History) came at the perfect moment! R.I.P Craig. He will remembered for his eagle punching.
As someone who wants to write novels and eventually screenplays and get into Hollywood despite pretty much no chance of it happening, this was very interesting. I can't wait to see more from this series.
For those looking for good free stuffs to enrich your film appreciation and understanding abilities, this course seems essential! .Started this course 26th October, 2019 from Bangladesh.
What I like about series like these is that whether they say they are for screen writing, novels, etc. they all have overlapping elements that help. People, treat this as Crash Course Storytelling, for now. Though I still would love a general story telling crash course that discusses the 5 most popular mediums. Don't have the cash for books like Robert Mckee and John Truby but still need to learn.
Septem You can also look up interviews with Truby and McKee, if you want to hear from them specifically. RU-vid has great resources for storytellers of any medium.
Im so excited for this series. I have been interested in Film for my whole life but in this past year Ive actually had some opportunities to pursue my dream of being a writer/director/actor by getting some set time. Craig's series has helped me develop some different methods and techniques and I am really excited to see what this series can bring to the table
ayyy I can't believe i just watched 9 minutes of a video that has more information and it's more understandable than 20 hours class on the subject that i took x_x you guys are the best
This is amazing! I've always wanted to study film production and screen writing and this is the most informative video ive found. Cant wait for the rest of the series!
Here's the "three act screenplay" in it's most simple form, according to Lew Hunter, chairman Emeritus and former Professor of Screenwriting at the UCLA Department of Film and Television. 1: you chase the hero up a tree. 2: you throw rocks at him. 3: you get him down from the tree.
Finally! I feel like the first time that the host isn't shouting at us. I don't really love film, but I love CC and this is a real pleasure to listen to. More like this please!
This is so great since I’m going to college for the same stuff at the same time, that way after class I just watch your guys’ videos and I get a deeper understanding of everything
We're going to cover a little bit of animation when we get into special effects (talking about keyframing for animation, rotoscoping, etc...) but at the heart of good animation is good story telling. I'd like to circle back around to do more film history and have at least one episode on traditional animation and one on digital animation. - Nick J.
I doubt that the course will address animated films in-depth. The production process is very dissimilar to live action (storyboarding vs screenplay, model sets vs full-scale physical sets, animating and voicing vs real-time filming and recording). A whole separate crash course series would probably work better.
When it comes to writing screenplays, the rules still apply. In fact, the reason Pixar's movies take five years to make is because they spend the first year writing, rewriting and honing the script until it's airtight. Look up Pixar's 22 rules of storytelling sometime. It's really helpful.
Is something wrong with the mic or is it her voice but some of her s-sound are really really sharp. So much that I get a very unpleasend high pitched sound in my headphones.
I noticed it too. Although I love that S sound. It's very ASMR-ish. To answer your question though, probably just needs to adjust the mic levels and stuff. Sound engineering oversight. Could be as easy to fix as adding a filter to the mic (pop filter, fur, etc) or just fixing it in post.
I'm a big fan of movies, to be able to understand their production and everything behind the scenes is great! Thank you for making this series crash course !
Yes, I need this! I'm trying to be more versatile in writing and I would love to make a decent screenplay. I get a bit of the basics but it's a bit confusing for me. I mainly write poetry and stories.
This was awesome! For a writer, these coming videos are sure to be a great help for me to evolve my writing style and creating more for my readers than what I can produce today.
Thank You Lili for this wonderful teaching I had learnt a lot and last but not the least this is one of the best teaching I have ever had on film making
PLEASE! I would love to have a Crash Course on Video Game Development and the process from idea to the game and everything in between! You guys are awesome!!!
