9:21 ... you said you use an iPad slate... my question is which iPad do you like? I’m thinking about getting an iPad Pro. I already have a MacBook Pro and an iPhone. I’m getting ready to start writing screenplays and I wondered if an iPad would help or an iPad Pro. Please let me know what you think. Thank you so much for sharing this great video.
I use an iPad Pro with the 10.5" screen. The main reason is that I read comics on my iPad and I wanted a size closer to the real size of a printed comic. I find it's the right size for our slate and my other uses that mimic the size of paper. Hope that helps and good luck with your screenwriting.
Pull My Focus Wow that was a fast reply I’m still watching your video LOL!!! Thank you Do you have the new new iPad Pro 2020 or 2018?. I absolutely love my MacBook Pro but it is a little bit too big to carry around! And another question is there certain apps that you like to put on your iPad Pro for filming and editing etc. And if you have a video on that subject please let me know... OH and one more question what camera equipment are you using to film this video… It is excellent. Again thank you very much for taking the time to reply and thank you for sharing your great videos.
@@JudiChristopher I get notifications whenever anyone comments and I was right at my computer. I have the 2018. I don't use it to write much as I type pretty fast and like a traditional keyboard, so I use my Macbook pro mostly for writing. I use pages and have that on my iPad as well. Google doc's app is helpful as well. The only app I like on my iPad for filming is the slate app Movie Slate8. I do at times us Filmic Pro on my iPhone. Everything else I do on my laptop. My biz partner and I use Slack to communicate and collaborate on work and I use Evernote for notes and ideas.
Pull My Focus ... Oh my gosh I want to be you when I grow up… LOL I am like you, I like my MacBook Pro and I type pretty fast also. I am in the process of moving back to Albuquerque, New Mexico and have a chance to work with people around Netflix... I have two manuscripts getting ready to put in publish, one for “Billy the kid… “And then another one that was supposed to be a play on stage and a movie director read it because his wife was helping me put it on stage and he wants me to go ahead and put it in script form for a movie! I have always been an actress and I also teach for film and theatre, but that writing is my first love... so I already have the manuscript finished on both stories and now I just want to put the manuscript into screen play format with final draft. A liaison from HBO has already talk to me about the Billy the kid story, (as if we need one more TV show about Billy the kid LOL) I lived in Lincoln county New Mexico for 21 years where Billy a kid was incarcerated in jail... My true story is more of the supernatural about Billy kid which I’m not sure if the Billy kid diehard fans will like or not LOL ... Regardless Thank You for taking the time to reply and I sure do like your videos and thank you for sharing keep up the great work BTW... Can I still buy the iPad Pro 2018? Should I do that or get the iPad Pro 2020? Truthfully my MacBook Pro is getting pretty old but I still love it.
Good information to keep in mind. There are sooooo many details to production and post production, so this is a good reminder for all those involved. Please consider doing a review on the iPad slate tool(s) you find most useful.
Thanks Dave and will do. So far, liking Movie Slate 8. The log file in the app iPad is easy to use and I can output at the end of the day. No need to re-type my handwritten notes.
Greetings to you. I have a simple question. How do I make script any program read my contact when entering any program. Does my contact type have to contain an API URL or something else?
The length of the movie made from the script. Timing is done by reading the script and timing yourself. But you read it and pace yourself based on what is being said, and the action to estimate the rune time of the film. As if you were acting it out.
@@PullMyFocus Thanks for the explanation.. Do you have a video that explain what the different between US System & UK System for the Script Log In Report? I need to learn more about it..
You are welcome. That is a good and tough question. I don't use script sub software. I find paper is so much faster for me on set and then I collect that info at the end of the day. The digital slate software we use on the iPad, Movie Slate 8, has the ability for you to add notes and mark circle takes and then output that file. I find it's just faster for me to markup paper. It could be I just need to start using it and get used to using it. There's a shot list program on the iPad that the guys at Film Riot swear by, Shot Lister. I have not used it but I would check out their vids on it to see if it would work for you.
@@PullMyFocus thanks for quick reply. I'm the same, I prefer paper. The only thing that tempts me to use an ipad is the fact that you can take snapshots and be able to access them quickly after you list them accordingly. Whereas flicking through your camera takes longer. It's not much, but on a hectic shoot you can save time. Thanks, I will check film riot out.
Great info! As a one-man operation, my note taking has been mostly on 3x5 cards and in my sketchy brain. It's worked so far, but as I'm trying to raise the quality of my productions, I feel like I need to move into the kind of organization you demonstrated here. Thanks for the clear explanations and demonstrations! :)
Thanks for all of the practical info. just real quick. If you are measuring camera height and distance to your talent, what part of the lens do you measure to their eye from? Camera body, very front of lens? Thanks!
Camera height is from the center of the lens to the floor. To talent you measure from the focal point of the lens which is the sensor in the camera (or film gate on a film camera). Professional video and fill cameras have a knob on the camera to hook the tape measure to.
Hi , thanks for the information. you explained everything in a very good and in a simple way. i gave a thumbs up to the video , and i have subscribed your channel too.Thanks again.
You are superb sir. Thankyou so much for the valuable information. Please tell me from where I can get all the templates of breakdown,log sheet, tcr etc.
Great video and I have also just subscribed. As a Script Supervisor transitioning to digital, where I am located, the majority of SS's use ScriptE. I have trained in ScriptE, however I'm really liking MS8. Have you tried/tested ScriptE, and if so, which do you prefer and why? Thanks Frank ;-)
@@PullMyFocus I like the ease of use and how user friendly it is. It's pretty similar to ScriptE, however, the interface flows better if that makes sense. I wish more of us were aware of this software (APP) because I believe it can be just as huge as ScriptE. The only issue I am facing, is that when ScriptE is what the primary 1st unit SS is using, MS8 can't synch to those notes. ALL notes in MS8 can be shared with production, crew, other SS's via PDF, however, so this really shouldn't be a problem. ;-)
@@PullMyFocus The job in general. I wrote that before I did the job 2 days ago without ever doing it before, 2 days in, its not so bad. yes lots of paper work, but you feel like the backbone of the production.

I know this guy 😛 nice video topic!
Yes, that is me. Thanks Paul. I realized the topic was staring right in the face on every shoot.
Hi,
Can u explain what is 'Picture Running Time'?
and how to make a Timing on the Script?
The length of the movie made from the script. Timing is done by reading the script and timing yourself. But you read it and pace yourself based on what is being said, and the action to estimate the rune time of the film. As if you were acting it out.

Do you have a video that explain what the different between US System & UK System for the Script Log In Report?
I need to learn more about it..
Interesting thanx.! do you have a course on video scripting.?
We don't currently but we're working on one.

My question are script supervisors required to have a rig with extra equipment for the production such as tape, clips, etc.?
As a script sup, you bring whatever it is you need to get your job done. You don't need to bring anything for anyone else.
How to get internship in direction?
Amazing video. What tool do you use to get the contrast ratio?
Thanks and great question. I cover that in our video "Video Lighting Setup Tutorial"
