    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

      I was practicing for a bicycle certification test by riding on a very, very challenging skills course. I was in practice mode and kept practicing until one of the instructors, looking slightly irritated, told me to just take the exam already. He knew that I was ready and could pass it, before I even realized it.

    I'm expecting the answer to be proactivity, patience or repetition. As Bruce Lee once said, "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.". I probably didn't need to use that quote, but it's awesome.

      Famous artists know their craft and they have to know and trust [God and] themselves. Because, sometimes you have to pray when you run out of your own power; yes, at times you need some of God's help, and take a long walk or a long ride on your motorcycle, far away. I believe I will be successful; will they like my material? That I leave to God, if I did my Job right in pulling at the hearts of mankind it will.
      My Grandfather (Pollie) used to put subtitles in movies in Spain and Puerto Rico. He said, "If a movie doesn't make me cry [with good reason, even for joy], it isn't a good movie." That's what he said, in Spanish, to us.
      We need to stop pleasing the trendy culture, and just tell what truth will touch an innocent little child. However if we try to pervert the [public] child, God will cause a sink hole to swallow us up and our stupid stories. I'm not kidding, he has already brought many to their knees, producers and directors to poverty or death. Watch a good old wholesome movie of the past, then look within.
      Examine yourselves, are you feeding your minds with life and truth and the warding off of evil? Remember it was The Cross [with Christ on it] that killed Dracula in the very old, old stories, not muscles, superhero's and special effects.
      Van Helsing [the Vampire killer] use the Cross to subdue the Vampire's then drove the 'Stake' through the heart to finish them off, because Jesus Christ has power and victory over the devils everywhere, and even everywhere in the Bible as well. The Bible has a very happy ending for believer's, but not for deniers of Christ.
      Pipe organist J.S. Bach and Dietrich Buxtehude [and some of today's organists] made the Devil flee when they played the notes which glorified the Savior Jesus Christ. So, if we glorify good and the victory to the good from trouble and peril in our stories then are we pleasing God, and pleasing humanity with divinely inspired fables of love, joy, truth and salvation.
      "When the salt has lost its savor, it is good for nothing, but to be trampled on, or to be thrown away," Jesus said. [instead of being shelved to see the story again]. -- So, when the salt of the earth is gone [God's people/truth/story] then the earth will only produce sour grapes and stupid stories; is what I [JB] say. Add salt to your stories and a little spice, not too much, just enough for the right flavor and many will come to see the plain and common, unassuming hero win in the end with some very needed but beloved helpers. Hurray, I will pay to see it again and again. Amen.
      Peace in Christ, to all who believe. JB

    We're not eternal so do books, films and other stuff. Our birth rate is bumping up and you can't guarantee that this new people will know you. The amount of information rapidly growing, more people then ever can draw, write music and stories. You, small you, are trying to play against time. But we all know what will be in the future.

    Thank you Sheila Houlahan, Thank you. -- What you said is a confirmation of my thinking; to just be yourself, as long as you know what you're doing and have done enough of what you know to do, just do it, and do it your way. I believe that's what you're saying in a nut shell. I have to add [in edit] that she is right, "We all will die one day." And that we should make the best with what we have in this life before that day comes. I believe she knows the man that resurrected from the dead and gives eternal life to all who are willing to believe and be born again. You can only be confident about death if you know [Jesus Christ] him. Amen. -- Thanks' again. JB

    My God this girl is damn awesome! I see myself in this in so many ways maybe it's my Aquarius vibe since a kid searching for the meaning behind the veil, questioning the rules even from kindergarten I was a hard to handle kid for asking too many questions or just skipping classes for something more interesting cause I was bored to tears:))) well anyways....
    As in art, I think originality is everything. And it takes guts. There are artists who take art to the grotesque even just to shake the box a little or bring new perspectives and some of them for being misunderstood become famous/successful not for the true value of their work, but for being controversial. I look at Jordan Peele and his niche movies, an Aqua Mars by the way :) not my taste, but definitely he's something else, a breath of fresh air. Authentic, courageous and a brand.
    Originality is not bringing pieces of something old and putting them together as in Titanic meets The Gladiator. Originality is the very connection to the Source, it's channeling, and complete authenticity of your own voice.
    There's definitely a spiritual shift in every new generation and nowadays young people raise the standards, are way more profound, complex thinkers, and self-aware.

    I’m pretty pissed. A lot of insanely hard work and stress with no outcome. Everything is the opposite of what you’ve been told I am living proof i get Bombarded with questions and I run out of words to explain it the average person doesn’t really know, they go to any job that will help them raise their children pay their bills etc and they think i most be wealthy they don’t understand why I don’t have anything/why I have nothing on the market but they don’t understand that that’s what it is (a market) I have to explain that there’s no fat guy in a suit with a cigar and a ponytail (Mr Big/Franky Sharps) that magically offers people some kind of deal and boom you’re somebody now with everything you need. People think it’s almost a magic thing like you’re Discovered and Whisked away to fame and fortune LOL because you can do something’s that’re pretty cool. At the end of the day that’s all it is a pretty cool song, a pretty cool story, a pretty cool character cause that’s all it is unless you have the money for it to be everywhere for everybody to see. Time is extremely Valuable I should be doing nothing like fishing (no stress) just let the world turn. Who cares about the population who cares about anything.

    Knowing who you are doesn't pay bills. It only gives you the fortitude to endure living in a box on the street and bathing in a drinking fountain when you fail at reaching for your dreams. Because reaching for your dreams requires a capital infusion because nobody is going to give you a grant or a loan, so you'll have to do it yourself. It's a risk but like any gamble, you risk your entire roll as the hand goes on and if you lose, you'll never get back to the table again because you only get one chance to raise the buy-in. After that, all your capital goes to the debt you accrued when you crashed and burned.
    The system is set up to penalize people for following their true self. You need money to weather that storm and the trick is to not lose yourself in the swell.
