Dedicating years of your life to a project that runs into consistent road blocks or takes longer to get off the ground than you expect is no east feat.]]> 2023-09-20 22:56:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mck3r/bdn2ifvs52vggli5/wish/2713556963 mck3r https://padlet.com/mck3r/bdn2ifvs52vggli5/wish/2713560747 The amount of vision and foresight required to be a producer is pretty daunting. ]]> 2023-09-20 23:03:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mck3r/bdn2ifvs52vggli5/wish/2713560747 mck3r https://padlet.com/mck3r/bdn2ifvs52vggli5/wish/2713564741 I find the producer-director dynamic fascinating. I figured they worked closely together, but the way the producers on the panel are talking about their directors, they truly sound like they're talking about they're friend who just so happens to be a co-worker.]]> 2023-09-20 23:10:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mck3r/bdn2ifvs52vggli5/wish/2713564741 mck3r https://padlet.com/mck3r/bdn2ifvs52vggli5/wish/2713571838 It is refreshing to hear people that deal in movies actually talk and be excited about storytelling as an art form]]> 2023-09-20 23:22:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mck3r/bdn2ifvs52vggli5/wish/2713571838 mck3r https://padlet.com/mck3r/bdn2ifvs52vggli5/wish/2713574627 I LOVED hearing the reasons that some of the writers picked up particular projects because of specific, niche connections they had to the stories they wanted to tell.]]> 2023-09-20 23:26:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mck3r/bdn2ifvs52vggli5/wish/2713574627 mck3r https://padlet.com/mck3r/bdn2ifvs52vggli5/wish/2713588825 The attention to detail that goes into crafting a script, a character arc, or a movie in general is extensive and genuinely impressive.]]> 2023-09-20 23:45:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mck3r/bdn2ifvs52vggli5/wish/2713588825 mck3r https://padlet.com/mck3r/bdn2ifvs52vggli5/wish/2713593229 I enjoyed hearing Aaron talk about the different takeaways that people got from The Social Network. I think it goes to show the subjectivity of art as a whole and speaks to the value of personal perspective.]]> 2023-09-20 23:50:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mck3r/bdn2ifvs52vggli5/wish/2713593229 mck3r https://padlet.com/mck3r/bdn2ifvs52vggli5/wish/2713604731 I think it is a real talent to compress real stories that span over years, sometimes decades into a 2-2.5hr film.]]> 2023-09-21 00:03:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mck3r/bdn2ifvs52vggli5/wish/2713604731 mck3r https://padlet.com/mck3r/bdn2ifvs52vggli5/wish/2713610152 Something I picked up on hearing all of the panelists talk, I think that they all share one goal of getting a message across. They all share a level of patience and care for their projects that shows that they really want to say something with their films.]]> 2023-09-21 00:08:51 UTC https://padlet.com/mck3r/bdn2ifvs52vggli5/wish/2713610152 mck3r https://padlet.com/mck3r/bdn2ifvs52vggli5/wish/2713619114 I find it interesting that writers go on their own journey of basically creating problems from scratch for their characters to go experience. It's a hard process to imagine because all of our problems are naturally-occurring. ]]> 2023-09-21 00:16:46 UTC https://padlet.com/mck3r/bdn2ifvs52vggli5/wish/2713619114 mck3r https://padlet.com/mck3r/bdn2ifvs52vggli5/wish/2713622445 I liked hearing about the writers' personal processes and approach to writing. Goes to show that even the best in the business have to wrestle with their own creativity, but what matters is that they work persevere through the writers' block. ]]> 2023-09-21 00:19:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mck3r/bdn2ifvs52vggli5/wish/2713622445 mck3r https://padlet.com/mck3r/bdn2ifvs52vggli5/wish/2713630225 Brad Pitt must be a busy dude. ]]> 2023-09-21 00:24:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mck3r/bdn2ifvs52vggli5/wish/2713630225 mck3r https://padlet.com/mck3r/bdn2ifvs52vggli5/wish/2713641490 "There is a finite amount of money..." is not something I expected to hear from people in Hollywood.]]> 2023-09-21 00:32:02 UTC https://padlet.com/mck3r/bdn2ifvs52vggli5/wish/2713641490 mck3r https://padlet.com/mck3r/bdn2ifvs52vggli5/wish/2713647208 I liked hearing Ghram talk about working with Martine Scorsese and how experimental they were working on Hugo.]]> 2023-09-21 00:36:02 UTC https://padlet.com/mck3r/bdn2ifvs52vggli5/wish/2713647208 mck3r https://padlet.com/mck3r/bdn2ifvs52vggli5/wish/2713656328 I really didn't understand a lot of the fuss over the producer credit. I imagine anyone fighting over that name tag is probably making a lot of money regardless, but it was an interesting industry-squabble to learn about. ]]> 2023-09-21 00:42:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mck3r/bdn2ifvs52vggli5/wish/2713656328 mck3r https://padlet.com/mck3r/bdn2ifvs52vggli5/wish/2713660630 My big takeaway from both panels is that no two movies are the same. No set works the same way, no writer has the same process, and I think that is what allows the artistic aspect of making movies to really flow.]]> 2023-09-21 00:45:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mck3r/bdn2ifvs52vggli5/wish/2713660630 mck3r https://padlet.com/mck3r/bdn2ifvs52vggli5/wish/2716645978 2023-09-22 16:56:46 UTC https://padlet.com/mck3r/bdn2ifvs52vggli5/wish/2716645978
