Dec 12 2012: Filmmakers are easily distracted by the technical and visual artistry of film while all the audience remembers is the story and gags. 14813
Dec 12 2012: The classic movies of the B+W era, like Casablanca, stay with us today because the story was great and technique stayed out of the way. 14814
Dec 12 2012: @lawnrocket You come from an environment where films are meticulously planned. That's not the only way nor the best if you have no money. 14815
Dec 12 2012: Hollywood means meticulous planning. Indy means filming on the fly, documentary style, grabbing whatever works. 14816
Dec 12 2012: The best current example of the "Indy" film style is the Bourne series. Big budget behind the scenes but low budget at its heart. 14817
Dec 12 2012: The great joy of filming with no budget is you can move immediately to grab opportunities without anal planning or restrictive groupthink. 14818
Dec 12 2012: @lawnrocket Your greatest skill—storyboarding—may also be your worst enemy. It keeps you from grabbing a camera and shooting. 14819
Dec 12 2012: If you're watching a movie and thinking to yourself, "These special effects are great!" the filmmaker has failed. 14820

Dec 12 2012: Documentary filmmaker steps into a scene. Looks at his assets. Says, "This is what we're gonna do." Shoots it. Done. No storyboard. 14822
Dec 12 2012: @liberance@lawnrocket What is a "crew"? Who has a much of crew when you have no budget? 14823
Dec 12 2012: @liberance@lawnrocket Historical note: Paranormal Activity. No budget. No crew. No storyboard. Made millions. 14824
Dec 12 2012: If you have a great story, there are countless ways to film it. If you don't have a great story, no technique will save you. 14825

Dec 13 2012: All great art is a process of reverse engineering. The audience views in the forward direction what the artist conceived backwards. 14835
Dec 13 2012: Most artists with great technique will never be great artists because they cannot think backwards. 14836
Dec 13 2012: All great art is an individual effort: the artist alone in his room. The surest way to kill it is to make it democratic. 14837

Dec 13 2012: It is futile to try to correct someone's deeply held belief system. Just worry about your own. 14858
