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 –
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 –
AUDIO
Rode VideoMic Pro – The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio. It also helps us sync up our audio in post
Audio Recorder – If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought –
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 –
COMPUTER – Our favorite computer, we each have one and have used various models since 2010 –
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 –

Great advice. I like that this was edited together.
Auts/Schizs talk movie dialogue — so in the real-world they DO think we are nuts : ) ) (consolidation/efficiency)
I was the bestest at inglish at skool so comedee diulogh is no probs fur me. 😉
Awesome information in this video! Dialogue is more complex than it seems. I've learned so much from Film Courage videos.
I appreciate these actual professionals neither sugarcoat the writing process nor whine about how hard it is. When I started looking into becoming a writer, I found many articles online that either claimed anyone can write a perfect novel in 30 days or complained bitterly about the difficulty of writing a story. It was very disheartening for me as a beginner.
“The eyes doesn’t tell the brain what it sees, the brain tells the eyes what to look for.”
This is a fucking supurbe video, it contain so much different aspect of a movie or drama
When i watch the first 5 minutes of this i didnt like it but 10 minutes later i realize that this is a splended video with not just one person explaining but different people male and female and also at different age group
All of this ”no one says anything unless they want something/want power” is great but it misses something important. Characters are not always going after things. Quite often they are because the story throws conflict at them: and they want that conflict resolved. But don’t forget characters also speak out of love for other characters or things. So they will compliment another character, not to gain something, but because they genuinely admire them. Or encourage someone else, not because they want something back but because they genuinely care.
This was golden. As someone looking to get a few stories stories out, this really gave me a different slant on how to tell them to make sense for others.
Right after Im watching a movie I tend to speak like they do in movies.
– [Cashier] Would you like the receipt?
– You'll need it more than I do.
Hey! I talk and talk and never get to the point. I thought I was the only one.
I would love to watch a movie about all those baristas
1:00 'Great' No it's BS… Why? because no one would say that… No one is that witty… Fcku this siht
I need to sleep on somebody's couch
30:00 lol
*looks at Tip #2*
*looks at video length*
I think they could have shortened a bit more.
The Varied and Many Secrets To Great Dialogues!!!!!!!!!
My opening version of the film "The Social Network"
Kim: Mark?
Jonny: Ohh, Hi Mark!!..
Great video
Who is the man talking at 12:04? I want to see that full Interview.
This was a bunch of great interviews, especially when the host said "Roberta Flack" to the "Killing Me Softly" comment. Great music.
15:00
This is all great advice but all these people have not really made or written great films. I must admit I don't know all these writers but I've just checked William c martell and I was hoping to see some great films in his filmography. Nope.
only hire Mimes
You could get current slang from the radio station in your city,,
Or from Snapchat

Funny to watch a bunch of ponces, who couldn't come up with good dialogue to save their lives, talk about how to come up with it when boozers are jam packed with entertaining dialogue geniuses who would never even think of putting pen to paper because that's for ponces.
The dialogue in "Casablanca" is a masterclass in writing
I doubt Casablanca would have been made today.
Is this actually relevant in today’s scripting landscape? I’m under the impression that studio heads control all parts of scripts as per rewrites and formulaic staples.
Some of the things I've found that helps is listening to conversations around me, when I go shopping or simply sitting at the mall.
GIVE ME YOUR GRITTY 70'S MOVIES
Thanks a lot for this.
Hey hey hey….. What's wrong on my life??? I didn't know the existence of this channel until now. I am so fucking happy!!!
"if you don't like the constraints then write a novel". That's not good advice, novels also follow the same concept, you can't have characters talking for 6-8 pages not going anywhere, even if you don't have a max number of pages you can write (unlike movies which never go past 3 hours at max), every piece of dialogue still has to contribute to the plot.
الفيديو كان فيه ترجمة عربية لكن الان للاسف راحت الترجمة
Best dialogue: 33:02
– Can I curse in this?
– You may.
– Awesome!
Seriously? The dude from SHARKNADO on writing dialog? YOU HAVE NO CREDIBILITY TO PUT THIS VIDEO TOGETHER.
Let's just sit back and admire a writer wanting to have some good dialogue in a movie about a tornado with sharks in it. lol
The fact that a new art has an additional medium does not mean that medium Is more important that those of the fundamental art.
Wow! I always say what I’m thinking, I’ll ask who were you having lunch with, actually I would have made myself known at a restaurant where my spouse was having lunch with someone else.
So, basically everyone is lying to me and I’m the only one saying exactly what I want and what I’m thinking?
08:44 he's basically describing the anime trope and kdramas: collosal misunderstandings
Good.
Take it from Nicolas Winding Refn and his movie Drive, the dialogue is very minimal yet powerful.
