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/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

My top takeaway: it's better to get it done and get it out there and get better and better than to wait for perfection. It's more important to have 20 doors than one perfect one.
Irons in the fire baby. The one issue I have with this is having more “bad” projects than good. Could pose problems when raising cash or pitching ideas to new companies.
@@Surfscoolin good point. I understand the tension of unrealized projects. This advice is helpful for those that struggle with resistance using perfection to strangle ideas.
This was inspiring. There are many methods of writing. Finding one that's best for you is important for efficiency.
Francis Ford Coppola writes a few pages, then the next day he rewrites those pages and writes a few more. The next day, he rewrites the previous day's pages and then writes a few new pages. He leapfrogs like this until he's rewritten the final pages. He ends up with an unpolished, but solid, well-rounded script.
Ricky Gervais writes only five minutes a day, but spends most of his day walking around and observing for inspiration and ideas. He takes notes, and at the end of the day, he relaxes to think how he can effectively utilise those ideas into his screenplay. The next day, he knows exactly how to incorporate those ideas, and includes them in his script in the five minutes he writes per day.
Sometimes a mind map works, sometimes a random line, outfit, or picture makes sense to get a general feeling of what captivates you and emotionally resonates the most when someone tells you a story.
You can have a brain dump where you take 25-50 crazy and whacky ideas you have in your head in a week. Just write one idea after you wake up, one idea after each meal, one idea after a stroll/swim, one idea after a bath/shower, and one idea before you go to sleep. It doesn't matter how refined an idea it is, it just has to be written down at any cost. By the 20th idea, you'll have at least one that screams "WOW! I MUST WRITE ABOUT THIS!". No one could possibly come up with 20 dumb ideas in a row unless you're really good.
Most importantly, you must prioritize your top 3 stories and finish them before moving on to the next brainstorming session. Use the recently written stories as an opportunity to refine the craftsmanship of the writing, not to limit your imagination.
One thing I recommend writers do a is "quick write". Write down the fastest script you can just flood out ideas then READ IT. IT WILL BE CRAP,but that is a good thing because your need to be perfect comes in. You will read it then say that dumb and make a obvious choice to change making it better. Which can lead to building and layering a good script because you're not focused on being perfect rather trying to make it better. It also helps with brainstorming.
Yeah you’re gonna have to more or less rewrite a script that takes months anyways. Just bang one out in weeks instead then work on making it better in the subsequent drafts.
Totally possible. During filmschool I wrote a 90-page feature in a week - including the planning, which took the most time. The writing itself took me maybe 3 or 4 days total, and I got more pages done every day. I went from like 10 pages on the first to about 40-60 on the last. You definitely have to do a rewrite after that, but it's possible to get it out there and done.
One of my favorite interviews! Great guest. Gone in 60 Seconds is an excellent movie as well!
This is one of my favourite videos you’ve posted. I really love the take of getting work done and move onto the next. Keep getting better…it’s what I’m trying to do.
He knows what he's talking about. I just shot my short film last weekend and did all the things he mentioned. Location, good actors, DP, and sound is the key. Indie filmmakers must stop trying to follow Hollywood protocol. You can not match their budget.
2 months. For that Netflix X Ron Howard prompt. But the thing is that first drafts are supposed to be quick because the rewrite would take twice the time.
If you're spending more than 6 months on the first draft then you need major corrections in character motivation.
First draft is pretty easy for me. I’m really just sitting back and watching the film in my head in chunks. Watch a couple scenes. Pause. Watch a couple more the next day. Pause. Repeat.
I needed to hear this. Thanks.
Insightful and Practical
I've written a couple for fun, in the process what I've learned is direction is more important than speed when writing a screenplay. I give myself at the least a full year. Good information though. 👍👍
I wrote one in 3 days 2 weeks ago, only sleeping 5 hours total in those days.
That was totally on! He reframed the big rule books attacked to writing and filmmaking. Excellent as always.
If I start writing, I can't stop until I finish it.
Along with the Sujata Day Interview - the ultimate hands-on approach to getting the job done. If only it were that easy to stick to.
I love this insight...it spoke to me on so many different levels...now it's time to implement this particular strategy! Thanks JP!💪🏾🎬💯
I like this guy. Love the interviewer!
Inspirational.. We’ll see a lot more of Jason in future, I’m sure 👍🏼
The behind the scenes for the movie "The Belko Experiment" James Gunn stated he wrote that in one setting. I feel if my vision is there I will keep writing until, and the next day I can add. I wouldn't limit myself.
3 days. Stallone, Rocky 1st draft.
3 days PLUS a lot of time writing previous scripts to learn and hone his craft. So yeah, you can type 90-110 pages in just a few days… but if you want them to be readable you need to be both super talented and super experienced… and should still expect to do a lot of work in both prep and revision.
Great insight very practical
I wish I could write, or find a good writer. I have a great idea for a script (probably a pilot, maybe a movie) with a great setting and characters, but have absolutely no idea of how to get started.
How to write a logline for multi-character Differents Roles /Multi stories in One line ??
What timeframe is the fastest that you've written a feature-length screenplay?
18 days, a 90 page horror film. I started with a treatment before I wrote the script.
3 months, did it at work.
@@kevinmurphy65 One I write the treatment, the script is a breeze. I'm currently shopping the Horror script, we'll see. Thanks!
@@QualityVideoService What exactly do you mean with 'treatment'?
Once I have the outline, 6 weeks.
I get 30 days vacation from my company (day job). By then, the plan, the story, and the characters have to be in place.
I have ideas for movies I wanna write and googling what all I need to do in order properly. Ideas I wanna pitch to studios, directors, producers and I also draw settings that serve the story and ideas for costumes,etc.
There’s not a lot of real car culture in movies anymore. Film makers ran us under the bus creating narratives about the south that are completely backwards. Especially with movies like That bogus Dukes of Hazard LOL what a reach, the fast and the furious movies are really good but they’re for an audience that has no idea about the actual real world of cars most real car guys are probably tickled a little bit when watching them but that’s what fantasy is though. I loved a few of them Paul Walker was awesome in them and Joy Ride! (Killer movies)
A lot less talk about the cars like smokey and the bandet is what made that car iconic same with the general lee, maybe something small mentioned about the car in the dialogue letting the audience think about what model/package the car is own their own. In the movie Vanishing Point all you need about the car was seeing it was a stock R/T (if I remember correctly) and knowing what the car could handle is something you observed when he would run it hot at too many rpm’s for too long (also having to do with how bad ass that model is performance Wise) I don’t know how well that movie did in its time though. Too bad movies have destroyed the actual real car culture image making us look like the bad guys. Movies sure are good at scrabbling people’s minds O well life goes on don’t it. 🎶 East Bound and down 🎶. R.I.P Reed…I’m from Dixie too Brother 🎶
Anybody out there into classic movies and actual real muscle (🇺🇸) check out Vanishing Point i believe a 1971 film all he does is eat speed pills and out run the cops/ max out a dodge r/t (on a bet) with a little help from the radio/ reality cool Disc Jockey ….and he has an occasional flashbacks of a girl he was in love with.
You can write a screenplay in record time but no one will remember it. It takes time to hone this craft. There are no short cuts.
Jason said he doesn't use story arcs. Is this the case because he makes short films (and one documentary), which makes it easier to get rid of story arcs?
Jason is currently working on his third feature film.
@@filmcourage Interesting! I'll check it out. His IMDB is outdated and only had shorts in his filmography. I want to know more about stories without arcs structure. Thank you!
how to write a screenplay in one week: "it just writes itself" very useful lol
as a teacher how can i adapt it?
He has Will Smith's voice somehow...
He’s stated he thought he’d be the Asian Will Smith when he was trying to make it as an actor
Same type of mouth, maybe that make it sound similiar too
13 to 15 pages a day... the average is 5 pages a day.
