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 - amzn.to/2u66V1J
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
Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - amzn.to/2tbFlM9
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
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 - goo.gl/56LnpM

I have a rule when I write. "It's never just one problem." It is very simple, but j find it always, always elevates the visceral reaction of people listening to my stories once they realize that. The second problem is what makes two simple problems a completely unique one
-
Predictability isn't always a problem. If he ditches Skylar and ends up working his miserable job, that's a viable -- kinda tragic -- ending. If ends up working with Skylar's people and gets burned from his career and left out in the cold, that's also valid. There's nothing wrong with a story that shows you a character who is set up to be destroyed between two ends of a dilemma and then _is_.
-
This guy is amazing! My whole direction in writing has been changed by watching this video. What an epiphany!
-
First take away is that Jeff Kitchen is brilliant at expanding ideas. I was excited to realize I had already created a "3rd door" for my protagonist. Listening to Jeff explain why the dillemas in films like Training Day & The Firm connect with the audience gave me a few notes on how I should approach cranking up the drama.
-
My take-away is, Jeff Kitchen is a genius at formulating and expanding a story. In a matter of minutes, he wrote your entire story. WOW! I gleaned so-o-o-o much for my own story. I, no doubt, will need to rewrite my entire outline, and first chapter. wow! I feel he was actually picturing that story in his mind and probably forgot about the interviewer and that she was there, the way he kept looking up and using his hands. My goodness. I'd give anything to have Jeff's mind for just an hour. Too bad I can only like this once.
-
I have watched a lot of these kinds of videos. I think this guy is the best i have watched. He gets it. And he explains things very well.
-
wow, he really ran with that one in an impressive way! good stuff. thank you both!
-
This is great. I loved how you gave the outline so the guest could work it out live. This made for a great teaching lesson. Thanks so much. Learned quite a bit.
-
Wow, I need this guy sitting next to me and help me with my script. He's so good o_O
-
I like way that he looks as though he's seeing the story develop right in front of him when he looks up or off to the side.
-
This is a masterclass. It's amazing watching his process. What an extraordinarily generous guy!
-
He makes it make sense which is always appreciated. In essence he gave her a true representation of her story even without knowing much about her story.
-
One of the reasons Derek got into IT was because he had been burned by relationships in the past. In IT you have stakeholders and computers and Derek knows how to handle them. Also being in computer security he is really keen on sniffing out social engineering attacks. He works with the people in his company on a very professional level and doesn't get intimate about anything. Until he meets Skylar. Even though he has a keen nose for fraud he is bewitched by Skylar because he has fallen for her. He opened him self up when he knew better not to do that. This would make for a great dark night of the soul.
-
Jeff gives 30 minutes of gold and then says "Is that helpful?" Haha -- YES! Excellent advice. Breaks things down simply and reassuringly to get a plot on the right track. I really appreciate this interview.
-
All of this makes sense to me, which is reassuring for my own process. Just need to be reminded you're on the right track sometimes.
-
He could then try to play her to bring down the company she is working for? Lots of possibilities.
-
It's amazing to watch the process evolve. I take a lot out of the typical talk on how to make your writing better. But to see it in action is far more impactful.
-
These videos are pleasing to watch and the audio feels raw and real.. like your sitting there with them.
-
My current character drafting could use some of this. I can see them with much more impact. Brilliant, Jeff.
-
This was incredible. One of my favorites yet!
