Have you read them? Are they any good? Or are these just the go to books?
Also there was a discord somewhere. Anyone got the link?
Adam Richardson
I haven't read them but I am thinking about purchasing them to understand these aspects better.

>what is everyone working on?
currently gonna make another music video for a friend and after I finally get enough money I'll buy a speedbooster and a sigma 18-35 so I can actually film decent stuff, then I'll make a short film
>what have you finished recently?
a fashion video for some friends who have a clothing line
>what problems are you running into?
doing everything yourself at the beginning is very difficult. sometimes I wish I had a crew to help me out with shit, I also wish I had lights so I won't be cucked by the sun every single time I want to film.
Charles Phillips
Cool. I dont do anything DoP related so I wouldn't know about these. But I do know that McKee is god tier for screenwriting and "the Directors Intuition" is absolute shittier.
Julian Gutierrez
>working on?
at this point, just molding ideas inside my head
>finished recently?
never finished, only started
problems?
lack of motivation, lack of confidence, lack of skill, lack of money,

Small gigs are nice to get some demoreel shots going. I wouldn't buy equipment tho, its always a waste of money if you are serious about it, then you will soon get into a territory where buying equipment just isn't economic anymore.
Also check online for people. Next gig you have place a message online asking for a general assistant that might wanna tag along and help.
So basically just Life, as everyone knows it.

>All the 'meaning' in the film is implicit in the action, never imposed on it. There is no intrusive symbolism, the camera is at no point used to force a point of view on the spectator. Hawks is perhaps too completely an artist for many critics to see that he is one at all: they need some symbols and 'striking' camera-angles and overt moral points flourished at them before they think they're seeing anything significant. The greatness of Hawks's films lies not in the extractable moral viewpoint itself, but in the intensity with which it is felt and realized in concrete terms.

kek, the equivallent of getting a 60% rating on RT
did you tell your teachers that they're a bunch of faggots who can't understand art?
Gavin Gutierrez
Would anyone like to read the first 20 pages of my screenplay?
Xavier Cox
Try the discord, threads are to short and fleeting for someone to properly read it and give feedback. Unless your off course want a quick pat on the back.

I left filmschool back in April as I feel better suited as a self taught filmmaker. Has anyone else here gotten far without assistance from an educational institution? Just curious
Luis Thompson
second
I have zero chance of going to film school at this point, any other definitive source other than watching and reading about films themselves?
Brandon Gomez
you want the truth?
no
you want some reassurance?
you can make it on your own but it's harder and you'll have to rely on yourself for almost everything until you find people to work with a literal nobody that never went to film school for connections
Landon Perry
There are many roads. And it really depends on the country. Here in the Netherlands there are a lot of funding programs and organizations that only recognize people from 2 film schools (there are more film schools) as filmmakers. Once again there are multiple ways but in my country it is much harder.
