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

The 6 essential questions
1. Who is it about?
2. What did they want?
3. Why can't they get it?
4. What did they do about it?
5. Why doesn't that work?
6. How does it end?

Every character thinks they are the main character ... this was definitely a lightbulb moment for me! Thanks for sharing your tips and knowledge :)

His excitement for writing is radiating off him, it’s really inspiring because although writing is difficult it’s the most rewarding experience

David Cornwall, aka John le Carré simply stated:
"'A Cat sat on a Mat' is not a story. 'A Cat sat on the Dogs Mat' is a story."

I tried writing a novel on a computer for years. Last year I bought a typewriter, and the 80k word manuscript came out in 4 months. Cannot stress enough that your process is your process. Write on a jungle gym, upside down, on a yellow legal notepad with a crayon. Just get it out.

This cured my writer's block, wow. I applied it to every character in my story, making all of them protagonists of their own journeys, and I found it to be much easier for me to develop both character, plot AND theme all at once, rather than the atomized way I used to do. Thank you so much for the advice and the video.

"The writing process is answering a series of questions?" It's wild to me how such a simple concept can totally dispel the mystery of writing creatively. I've struggled for years trying to find a way to pull ideas out of my head into something coherent, but I never could seem to develop a way of approaching the process that worked for me. Thanks for this video, it's already helped me a ton.

"Would the reader be excited to read the next chapter?" Is my best writing question.

I often follow the four David Mamet questions from the memo:
1) What does your hero want? (GOALS)
2) Who/What Stands in their Way? (OBSTACLES)
3) What happens if they don't get it? (STAKES)
4) Why Now? (TIME/SITUATION)
You gotta think before you write

The "every character is their own main character" idea is very insightful! I've always had trouble making side characters interesting in my writing and now I know it's because I wrote them as tools and not people with their own intentions and conflicts.

"Writing is a series of questions." I like that process. Asking questions about your character's goal, origins, mentality, action, non-action, social-climate, and so on. A great way to establish strong character writing for every moment & scene. 🤩

I think Hollywood only asks one question now: "how do I piss off as many fans as possible?"

I wrote half of a novel while sitting in my car during breaks at work. It was surprisingly efficient--no one to distract me, music if I chose, and a limited amount of time to get as much written as possible before I had to clock back in.

His point about everyone finding their own process is SPOT ON. The thing I liked least about my creative writing courses in college (it was my major, so I had many) was that every instructor seemed to assert that THEIR process was THE process, and everything else was bound to fail. (Even Stephen King falls into this trap when he insists that writers should never outline a story. I love King's work, but even some of his novels would have benefitted from a bit more preplanning.) Learning your OWN process is the only way to go.

It's comforting to hear that this literally describes the plot structure I intend to write for my animated series.

The part after 1:12 just gave me a major perspective shift on approaching writing characters inside a world.
"Every character thinks THEY'RE the main character."
What a way to put it.

For me, stories are all about watching characters solving interesting problems.

1. Who is it about? 2. What does he/she want? 3. Why can't he/she get it? 4. What does he/she do about that? 5. Why doesn't that work? 6. How does it end?
