To Rent or Buy Gear? Plus, Movies That Made Us Want To Make Movies
Manage episode 408058299 series 118896
You are still a legitimate filmmaker even if you don’t own any gear. Most filmmakers actually don’t own the gear they use and for good reason. And speaking of gear, what movies geared you toward the path of filmmaking?
In today’s episode, No Film School’s Charles Haine, GG Hawkins, and Jason Hellerman discuss:
- Buying gear or renting gear - which is better?
- When you should justify buying gear
- Realizing how much work it takes to create a movie
- The things that made us want to work in movies
- Having fun with genre
- Looking for books about the making of movies
- The idea of being inserted into the story
- How to influence others who don’t enjoy movies
- Unpredictable twists that bail out the “bad guy”
- The balance between fantasy and reality in a film
Memorable Quotes
- “Most professionals rent because gear has wear and tear and you outgrow it.” [5:10]
- “In the digital era, shit ages fast!” [11:13]
- “I cannot imagine a human with two lungs, two ears, two eyes, and a heart not loving Tokyo Drift.” [27:01]
- “I already knew I wanted to be a filmmaker before I read my first IMDb trivia page.” [18:32]
Mentioned:
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
