Boards Comment – Editing a mini documentary and need your help with the story arc!

I think you need to find out the most important subjects in your footage and gradually you'll discover your film's story arc.

Article Comment – Discipline: The Secret Weapon Too Many Filmmakers Aren't Utilizing

I used to get sick often from working too much. Took a while to realise that sometimes working less hours doesn't make you less productive.

Boards Comment – What order?

Thank you for your reply, Misha.
I think it'd be hard for me to write without a treatment. It's nice to have a miniature version of the story so you spot plot holes and can remove character's that aren't necessary etc instead of finding out while writing a 120 page screenplay. However I agree, it can easily become procrastination and of course you won't know all the story problems before you actually start writing the screenplay.
Have you written screenplays without outlining at all before? And if so, how much do you know about your story?

Article Comment – Rami Malek’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ Live Aid Performance (Matched with Actual Queen Concert Footage)

I agree. I didn't realise what was off about Rami's perfomance until I saw this. He doesn't have the charisma Freddy had. At all

Boards Comment – Should I show my bad show reel?

Furthermore: I have a bit more than entry level experience in using photoshop, audition and Illustrator. Should I mention it or leave it out?
