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

@filmcourage

What do you like about this one?

@benchristenson2280

This sounds a lot why there is no continuity in stories today, with characters do what the plot needs them to do instead of being true to who they are as a character.

Alan Watt’s approach and methods are fantastic. I wrote the first draft of a script last year, and the characters were flat and forced. I’ve been working through Alan’s “90 Day Screenplay” now as I do the second draft. The characters are alive and interwoven with the plot in ways I never could have imagined-a completely different animal! “Save the Cat” and other structure books are great, but they’re only part of the equation. Alan helps you utilize the creativity you didn’t know you had.

@thereccher8746

Good ideas are easier to write. Writing is difficult enough, no need to make it harder by going in without a premise you're passionate to see flourish.

"the unconscious is the seat of your genius" --you said it right there, Alan. Neuroscience is behind you on this, actually. Cheers

@AdamKucharczyk

Interestingly one of the best advices I received on being a god Game Master in RPG was: let go your scenario, let the players be and create the world, let yourself be surprised by the direction your game is taking in the frames of the world you are the creator of.

@enthusiast1

I felt enlightened by the notion of not discarding a creative idea but seeing how it can be supported. He elucidates it in a manner that had me seeing the notion of my ego as referee, getting in the way, and it standing aside, allowing goodness to be nurtured to see where it goes if supported. I do not know much about the writing scene or Alan Watt but if I were seeking writing guidance I'd want someone like him, someone with solid process and hands off the story... It's really a beautiful thing to hear stuff like this, even for someone in a different field.

@theoutcaste

The unconscious is the seat of genius.

@Tubymay

I really liked his book! It was so riveting that I had to put it down, take a breather, stop worrying about the main character, come back a few days later, keep reading and stop again out of anxiety for the plot. Even now I see the image of the dad character’s face in my mind very vividly and I read this a while ago. I was walking in time square one day and I saw a sign about a musical about Niel Diamond and I thought “who do I know that really likes that artist?” and then I realized-it was the dad character from the book 😂

@piyarudeechaiyaporn9626

The host did ask great questions.

@lastdays9163

" The channel was being celebrated" is something that most fear to admit and to say out loud. The creative mind is a channel and what comes through isn't ours. I believe there are some people who construct their stories purely from their own imagination but many of us do not. Part of the process of writing is to be honest with ourselves and not obstruct the channel, even if what comes through doesn't adhere to what we are trying to construct.

@WookieeRage

I have become a fan of screen writing because it helps me create the scenarios and stories for my group's RPG sessions. Roleplaying games are usually about a Cadre of characters and their heroes journey. Screen writing helps me weave a tapestry that the players can co-create their stories within.

@daltonstull1790

This has to be my favorite channel on RU-vid. I've obtained the most value here bar none. Thank you so much.

@user-uj7kd6mb5b

Ideas are just ideas until a back story or deeper meaning is established. I'm going to go over my log lines and synopsis. Alan Watt Thanks!!!❤

@lancasterpictures6951

so many of these "story" blokes talk absolute waffle. this guy is excellent and the real deal. Particularly on the role of the subconcious in storytelling. Too many people treat writing as maths
