Stuff we use:
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
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
COMPUTER - Our favorite computer, we each have one and have used various models since 2010 - amzn.to/2t1M67Z

Check out Shane's second interview What They Will Never Teach You In Film School - Shane Stanley [FULL INTERVIEW] - buff.ly/39uIgu8
-
I've always been embarrassed to put community college on my resume, but the one I went to had a good film program, and everyone was there to focus on their work, not to party. And I payed the tiny student debt off on my first studio job.
-
I've had the privilege of talking to Shane on Zoom party conferences a couple of times. Straight shooter. No bullshit. Very generous with his time and keen to answer any questions as best he can. Dude. x 🤘🕺🥂
-
Once again It’s who you know.
-
Free labor taught me lot, it taught me to never work for nothing. In my experience they'll always just look on you as 'the free guy'. No company worth impressing pays you zero. Wasn't till I stopped that nonsense, got the skills I needed, and started getting paid that anyone treated me with respect. If you think working for free is a good idea for you, at least put a time limit on it - ie: you'll only do it for 6 months.
-
I hear you, man, but I bussed my ass for peanuts in the video business for years, and when I reached a point where I wanted to start a family, I told the guys I had worked with for years that I needed to start getting paid and they said, "Aw, Gee, we'll miss ya man." There are so many people in this business who will work for free that it becomes a part of the production budget. Be selective about what you're doing. Shadowing a director for free ain't the same as gaffing and gripping for free.
-
Listen to the FULL INTERVIEW! Thank you, Shane, for sharing Your Life Story!
-
Love this guy. This is everything you will ever need to know about filmmaking.
-
Like that he takes a jab at nepotism... ironic. Still appreciate him and all the experience he's sharing. But. He was a 6 year old in the right place at the right time that lead him to knowing tons of connections for when he felt like "starting from the ground up". Hard to say if his same work ethic would have lead anywhere like this if he was born in Wisconsin to some farmers.
-
What they didn't teach me in film school : how to get a job.
-
I'm lucky my mother always supported me in my artistic pursuits. She admitted she doesn't quite get why I have a passion for writing but as long as I love it and I'm happy, she's happy and will support me. Now my dad? Weeeeel, that's a long, complicated story lol. He's a carpenter, a very practical person with little time for books or any of the things I love. To him writing is just something that gets in the way of 'real work.' So while he's not against me pursuing a writing career per se, he doesn't support me or care to read what I write. But this is the path I chose, so I'll follow it till the end, wherever it leads.
-
Finally the whole thing! Let's put this puzzles together :D
-
this guy seems really lucky. more power to him but eh. his advice seems practical but his evidence is just meeting someone right place right time and getting the "hey i like your attitude u want a job" thing.
-
This is gold. No. Hold on. What's better than gold? Tons and tons of gold. He being so open is SO generous. And all he says is SO true and inspiring. Thank you ALL so much!!! I'm a guy living in Argentina. I'm working day and night cause things here are going southern south and I have a baby. I'm writing a screenplay but we are gonna test it by doing a graphic novel first. Been working on it for over three years and still making it better. Working on the IP every day. Every night. And watching your videos has helped a lot my revisions of the material. So, when this reaches the stars, I promise I won't forget all your help and I will be happy to contribute in whatever way possible. THANKS SO MUCH AGAIN. LUV FROM ARGENTINA. MJ.
-
these are so good. just off the cuff and incidentally while answering one question he drops knowledge about other things that fascinate me. thank you so much for making these available.
-
really insightful and useful interview! thanks so much, Shane Stanley, and interviewer lady person! I love the openness and honesty of this!
-
What a wonderful and generous soul. Truth radiates from him like light.
-
This was a fantastic interview and a ton of great insight for the rest of us, thank you FC and Shane for taking the time and for all the honest and introspective look at what it takes + the highs and lows and chances you’ve got to take along your journey.
-
Sadly this "new" way of telling stories explicitly for people with attention deficit is the reason that we are in the age of popcorn cinema where the majority of films don't have any lasting impact, yet people are still talking about films from the 70's and 80s. Television seems to be the place now to find stories with character development and stories that challenge the viewer.

This is one of my TOP 3 Videos I enjoy & can listen to over & over. It rotates from 1, 2 or 3. But Definitely in my TOP 3.
