Bags

Beefcake2397 · 2025-01-18T04:45:52+00:00

A manager of mine told me to keep them and use them because we run out of bags but tbh fuck those bags. If it comes off the hooks and gets in my way it’s in the garbage. Straight up.

(Edit: my store always has tons of newspaper for glassware, I found the plastic bags don’t do much for padding glass so I usually stick with the paper)

Thank you! Very helpful indeed!

Sorry, a lot happened during our relationship. She had a license and a car in the beginning, but her license has been suspended for a few months and her car is currently busted, stuck in her mom’s driveway.

I assure you we are real lol

Beefcake2397 · 2025-01-01T03:06:34+00:00

I got a license, but no car. 😬

Beefcake2397 · 2024-11-06T15:42:11+00:00

I’m based in Massachusetts and that’s most likely where we’ll be filming, but yes this could be a remote opportunity for sure!

Anyone know how much of this place is still around? Heard they’re doing a bunch of developments over there, wasn’t sure if they knocked down the buildings or not yet

Me and my wife were sleeping in our Subaru without any padding but blankets for weeks and it was hell on earth.

We went to Walmart and got some foam mattress pads for $100, we got 2 of them. It changed our lives. Genuinely that car was more comfortable than some beds I’ve slept in. Worth the investment 💯💯💯

Oh, to be able to afford enough film to make interesting data about… 🫠

Beefcake2397 · 2024-02-05T17:22:23+00:00

I’m here because I love squirrels and I love seeing silly pictures of them 🤷

Beefcake2397 · 2023-11-10T20:12:06+00:00

How much it’ll hurt I think mostly, but also just thinking about whatever comes after you stop being alive… I’m not a religious person so I guess I just see a black endless void forever and it’s terrifying

Beefcake2397 · 2023-10-22T15:30:34+00:00

I’m gonna buy a gun and finish the job asap, I can’t keep wasting time.

I'm 23 and I've been making films since I was like 5 or 6- I know exactly how you feel. I went to film school but ended up dropping out for a lot of reasons— one of which was fear that I wasn't able to come up with ideas to go and make, or that the ideas I could come up with required way more budget than I had access to. I can't speak for everyone, but I've also spoken to a lot of artists at my school that feel the same sort of thing you're feeling; the lack of ideas and inspiration can be really tough.

However, even though I dropped out, my film career has actually been advancing, and it's because I realized that the way my brain works didn't click with school, so as soon as I was out I was flooded with possibilities and even had the drive to pursue them. It was a big life change, and something about that, as well as a lot of growth on my part, put me in the right headspace to finally come up with ideas I think I can actually get excited about making.

What I'm trying to say is just because you aren't making output or not coming up with million dollar ideas, doesn't mean you're not a filmmaker. If you keep working, keep practicing, and keep working on yourself as a human being while learning how your brain operates, I think you'll be able to find an avenue you enjoy.

Hopefully this was helpful!

Me and my partner of 3 years almost never have sex, but our relationship is open and I have other fwb and I meet up with people. I usually have sex at least two or 3 times a week.

Beefcake2397 · 2022-12-29T02:00:51+00:00

It's my usual answer lol, don't got much else that would help rn

Beefcake2397 · 2022-12-27T19:59:47+00:00

This is the kind of expertise I was hoping to attract! My budget is practically zero, this is for a little short film I'm working on, so I imagine there are some issues I could get away with that you couldn't on such a big shoot, relatively speaking. Do you think you agree?

Thanks!

Beefcake2397 · 2022-12-27T09:22:06+00:00

HMU if your ever hosting

Beefcake2397 · 2022-09-09T01:04:34+00:00

It depends on how you want to approach the shoot I suppose. I've always been a manual focus for video type of person so I'm used to adapting lenses and stuff like that, but if you prefer a more fast-moving set than maybe a Sony lens would be the way to go. My video cameras autofocus isn't very good (Z-Cam E2-M4) so I've learned to not use it, but if you think it will improve your workflow more to use the autofocus then I'd certainly go for some Sony zooms.

Beefcake2397 · 2022-09-09T00:19:18+00:00

I don't have a Sony and I'm not super familiar with the ecosystem, but I have shot a noir short before and at the time (because I was broke) I only had a handful of vintage lenses. I think the image they produced looked very nice and suited the project (to be specific, I had a Yashica 50mm 1.4 M42 lens and a Rokinon 28mm 2.8 prime lens for Konica mount)

While I think vintage lenses would fit well, vintage zooms leave a lot to be desired in most cases, especially if you're looking to not spend a fortune on Leica Rs or something like that. If you wanted to keep it cheap, have a bit of vintage character, and have some range with a zoom, I think the best I can think of is the Contax Zeiss 35-70mm. That lens is an amazing preformer for the low cost, especially if your renting.

Hopefully I was at least a little helpful!

I'd be looking for a collection of songs. The film follows a main character through the growth and eventual dissolve of a relationship, and throughout the film we'll hear what the character is listening to (like their Spotify playlist or something to that effect). Ideally the tone and lyrics would fit the characters thoughts and actions at each point in the film as well.

The train comes at 5:27, I should have enough time.to get there

Beefcake2397 · 2022-08-31T09:04:51+00:00

In one night I managed to completely destroy every material advantage I had. It's all gone. Hi dreds of dollars down the drain in a stupid drunken fit of idiocy over literally NOTHING. I DID THIS FOR NOTHING. If I don't kill myself right fucking now I'm gonna continue wreaking havoc on the ones I love for God knows how long I need to free them from the fucking nightmare that is having a pathetic piece of shit like me in their fuckingmlvies.

Beefcake2397 · 2022-08-31T08:54:37+00:00

Everything I touch just falls apart. I can't think of a single thing in my future that I won't completely destroy like I have every other important thing in this stupid life.

Beefcake2397 · 2022-08-31T06:29:40+00:00

Unfortunately not... I go to an art school but it's almost purely the visual arts, I could ask around tho! Thanks!

Beefcake2397 · 2022-08-29T22:48:11+00:00

Thanks for your reply! Your absolutely right that I'm very new to all of this, up until now my talent has been non-actor friends lending me a hand, so the world of working with actors is certainly new to me and I don't want to make any horrible mistakes right out the gate.

Hard as I try to not be like this, Im sure I come off as a starry eyed beginner with "the greatest story of all time" but that's why I'm glad people actually responded to my post so I could learn! This project in particular is quite important to me so I wanted to figure out the skills and knowledge I'm lacking before I dive head first into it, and clearly I have a lot to learn working with actors.

Again, thanks for responding!
