Sort of similar to film school / the film major in a way. We're all learning and competing with each other on a smaller scale.]]> 2023-09-22 19:39:50 UTC https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716815070 roswellpercy https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716816156 The illusion that Pixar has everything under control constantly, but it's actually a "big, giant mess" - "isn't good until the last minute of it." Sounds a lot like students films, definitely a relatable sentiment.]]> 2023-09-22 19:41:18 UTC https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716816156 roswellpercy https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716818056 Telling the story of a group of people, getting a good sense of place within a film. Hearing about documentaries is super interesting even though it's not what I want to make, they're very important to the history of film.]]> 2023-09-22 19:43:56 UTC https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716818056 roswellpercy https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716819612 I've been learning in my Single Cam II class that it's more important to tell your story than it is to be completely accurate to consistency, and I imagine it's the same with creative liberties. ]]> 2023-09-22 19:46:03 UTC https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716819612 roswellpercy https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716820637 Fundraising is very different for film students and very small indie studios than it is for any of these directors/producers that are on this panel. Usually we have little to no funding while they at least have some, or at the very least notoriety. ]]> 2023-09-22 19:47:29 UTC https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716820637 roswellpercy https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716821274 Relationship between producer and director - interesting to me, because film students are almost always both the director AND the producer. ]]> 2023-09-22 19:48:25 UTC https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716821274 roswellpercy https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716821845 Talking about scripts - I find it super interesting, because I want to be a writer. It's good to look into how producers/directors think about scripts.]]> 2023-09-22 19:49:17 UTC https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716821845 roswellpercy https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716822352 Movie ratings these days are so strange to me. I don't think they're accurate and probably need to be reworked going forward.]]> 2023-09-22 19:50:06 UTC https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716822352 roswellpercy https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716823186 Why does cursing count as more inappropriate than other things? I feel that films suffer under the rating system at the moment.]]> 2023-09-22 19:51:18 UTC https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716823186 roswellpercy https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716823642 Screenwriting is my area! Very excited to hear what these folks have to say about this.]]> 2023-09-22 19:52:00 UTC https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716823642 roswellpercy https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716824517 Very strange to see how many people were hired to write specific scripts rather than pitching their own ideas. I've always imagined the writers as the head creative force in films, before coming to film school. It's interesting to see that perception change as I learn more about the industry.]]> 2023-09-22 19:53:05 UTC https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716824517 roswellpercy https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716825445 Budgeting is a nightmare I don't even want to start thinking about yet, but I already have to. Even my own films for classes, I need to use gas to travel to the places I need to film, my personal money for props, etc etc etc. I think every creative wishes they had infinite money to make their dream project.]]> 2023-09-22 19:54:16 UTC https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716825445 roswellpercy https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716826948 Scripts taking a long time to make - I struggle with writing quickly and being content with what I've written, so I understand this. I can imagine myself taking five years to fully complete a script and still not being happy with it.]]> 2023-09-22 19:56:21 UTC https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716826948 roswellpercy https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716827864 It's so hard to break into the screenwriting scene, even the people we know as popular screenwriters these days had to struggle to make it where they are. It's a bit depressing, but also inspiring. If they managed it, surely others can too.]]> 2023-09-22 19:57:36 UTC https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716827864 roswellpercy https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716828811 Trying to write something that doesn't end up hurting real people; not saying anything untrue or defamatory, but also being careful with how you portray people. Media ethics fascinate me, I'm pretty sure we're all required to take a course on it too.]]> 2023-09-22 19:58:58 UTC https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716828811 roswellpercy https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716829533 Creative liberties sometimes have to be taken, ESPECIALLY with biography pieces, ESPECIALLY if the person isn't alive anymore. You have to be careful about what liberties you take, but if it's all straight facts, it'll become extremely boring.]]> 2023-09-22 20:00:06 UTC https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716829533 roswellpercy https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716830036 The pleasure or writing characters well and writing a script well; I agree that it's extremely addictive. That's why I'm still a writer despite the struggles.]]> 2023-09-22 20:00:57 UTC https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716830036 roswellpercy https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716830782 Sundance fascinates me, truly. It's a film festival, which I associate with indie projects, but the behind-the-scenes is way more corporate than I would ever had imagined. I also didn't know films could be unfinished when showing.]]> 2023-09-22 20:02:04 UTC https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716830782 roswellpercy https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716831259 It's cool seeing how other people write. I do it on my computer, it's crazy to me that people write scripts on paper. The formatting itself would kill me. I personally use Final Draft 12 (got it as a high school graduation present).]]> 2023-09-22 20:02:50 UTC https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716831259 roswellpercy https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716837414 We had a lot of the same observations - I realize I took a lot longer notes than I think I was supposed to, hah. I have a lot to say about this stuff!]]> 2023-09-22 20:10:13 UTC https://padlet.com/roswellpercy/8za9o45yrnt6yz70/wish/2716837414
