Stuff we use:
CAMERA - This is the camera we have used to film 90+% of our interviews (over 200 interviews and counting) It continues to be our workhorse - amzn.to/2u66V1J

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've graduated film school 10 years ago, here's my tip on how to survive working in the film industry: aspire to, other than writing and directing, learning a TECHNICAL trait - editing, sound, lighting etc, that way you'll have a paid job within the industry, as you're learning the craft and process of making films until you are given the opportunity to make one yourself. Don't bet it all on writing or directing, those opportunities usually take YEARS to come. You'll need to make a living meanwhile.
  • "Don't pay attention to the industry. Do your own thing." - Martin Scorsese
  • “No matter what, take it. Even if it isn’t paid. Pay your dues. Always.” -Rich People
  • This is dangerous. This is why everyone is working for less than a suitable day rate. People come in and undercut everyone else and either work for a pittance or for free. This hurts all freelance filmmakers.
  • Take this guys word with a grain of salt. Shane Stanley's glossing over the fact that he has been working for his dad who was in the industry since he was 16 and had access to his Rolodex of industry contacts since his 20's. If he just said, "I got help from my father, but I worked really hard too," I would respect him. But "tHe PrObLeM wItH kIdS nOwAdAyS..." schtick is a really smug and tone-deaf demonstration of lacking self-awareness.
  • Love how the studio's can afford to pay actors, directors, and producers millions, but can't pay a decent wage for interns.
  • @thestray
    Sounds great in theory, but we literally can't afford to spend our time not getting paid these days honestly, lol.
  • Make films on your iPhone with your own crew before you sweep floors for free. If you sweep floors for free these days they’ll keep you sweeping floors for free the rest of your life.
  • “Experiencing works without worrying about pay”. Don’t worry about pay sonny, worry about the end of month rent, gas bills, eating a bit of food and drinking a smidgen of water. Exactly how is one supposed to cover his expenses if there’s no income. This is dangerous practice
  • You can hustle, be "johnny on the spot," and still fall through the cracks. Starting out, I worked on a ton a projects for free, as much as I could, living at home, and later when I saved up and moved to LA. But eventually those resources run out and you have to pay rent. There's a definite class element to being able to go out and spend 2 years working for free. Nobody should work for free.
  • Really gotta meet these landlords that accept experience for rent.
  • LOL... In essence he said he doesn’t understand why they don’t work for free... cause people have a thing called bills, house, family, student loans... I hate this mentality of work for free for you first year to “prove” your worth...
  • "People are afraid of being used as [legal slave labor] for 16-18 hour days and I can't imagine why." Lol WHAT
  • @Omari1125
    I'm sorry, if you're good at something never do it for free, especially in Hollywood.
  • I'm just sad that this is considered normal. This is why marginalized people don't get their stories told. No money, no contacts. My mom's generation could work minimum wage and buy a house. I can work minimum wage WITH a degree and be homeless.
  • @theelk801
    the key to success is allowing people to exploit your labor!
  • @rur1279
    This is exactly the problem with the industry. People like him who's upholding the status quo. His whole thing is he and other people he knows have gone through the same process and so everyone else should as well.
  • @bkiddo61
    It's great that he is so honest about the industry but it sucks that he normalizes that young filmmakers shouldn't expect to get paid and be slaves on set. I guess it's the harsh reality in a time were everyone has access und the industriy is overflowing with everyone.
  • @direx1974
    Wow. That is the most stupid advise I've ever listen to. He basically says: "Work for free and you'll get rewarded ... sometime". That's not the way. If you depend your carreer on this thinking you gonna go down. That's for sure. Companies are always happy to have people who work for free. But don't expect any benefit form that. If you think they will reward you for this kind of passion, think again ...
