►WE USE THIS CAMERA (B&H) - buff.ly/3rWqrra
►WE USE THIS SOUND RECORDER (AMAZON) - amzn.to/2tbFlM9
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
Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - amzn.to/3WEuz0k
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

Improbable but NOT impossible. If you really want it, you owe to yourself to try everything you can.
JAY! Thanks for the kind shout out! Keep filling your blank pages!
Sometimes you have to believ in yourself and writing when no one else can and the lord will do the rest
💯💯
been following this man Jay Finger on his channel for years and seeing his growth . keep it up brother
Nice!
Being a writer and both easy and difficult and a lot of it comes down to your imagination.
If it was impossible, no one would be a screenwriter.
I’m almost done with my Frist project
Have people told you that you will never make it as a pro writer?
No but I’ve doubted myself
No
Every damn day. Just solute them and say, “thanks for the motivation chief.”
yes😂
Some people just don't have talent though. I think helping then not wasting their time is also helpful. Especially making money by art or sports is not for everyone.
Those people write for television
It’s very hard to be a successful screenwriter and make it a lifelong career. Don’t give up your day job to write. Don’t spend thousands on film school. Get a degree that pays you every day. Write nights and weekends and if you have talent and get lucky great.
Maybe for you. Follow your dreams, don't let some anonymous dude on the web discourage you. I promise you someone told Arron Sorkin the same thing before he became ARRON SORKIN.
If I quit now, it will never happen. Rome was not built in a day. Consider labs, writing a few shorts, and writing a few pitches. This business can be stressful if you overwhelm yourself with pumping out 100-page features. Also considering working as crew or staff on films. Stay positive
Re 2:46 the answer is: Yes, his writing mentor is Dee Lay Stalling. #JFTMNWBMOTI
Wow, that Sex and the City story was riveting. #JFTMNWBMOTI
can someone please give the link of the book he suggestet by sanderson
Here's our interview with Mark - ruclips.net/video/1ZR2-M7RbYU/видео.html
(link to the book is in the info section)
whos saying that ? serious question. like, what kind of friends or family you got there ???? lol geez
Dont worry. With all the garbage that's on Netflix, I see it's really not that difficult to be a "pro" screenwriter.
