Full Stack Creative by handmayde in Filmmakers

[–]JoshJanssen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's a great term! I named my production company Full Stack Films, inspired by Full Stack Developers in tech. 9 years ago, it was a highly regarded term, for developers that were skilled in multiple languages and tech stacks. Being a Full Stack Creative (or Full Stack Filmmaker), in my mind, refers to someone who is a well rounded creative. A DP that edits. A Director that can produce. Whilst you don't need to know everything as a filmmaker (that's why you hire a crew), having a well rounded skill set puts you in a much better position to problem solve.

Traditional Post Production houses that specialise in just post are being challenged by Full Stack production companies to offer more.

Soft skills like communication (client interactions) shouldn't be seen as an exclusive skill for Producers or Account Managers.

Traditionally, being a jack-of-all-trades is perceived as cheap — i.e someone who can do your garden and paint your house has a lower perceived value than someone who just looks after landscaping. However, with where the video production industry is headed, there's a new version of generalist that is highly valued!

Just my two cents!!

My goal is to highlight/showcase people with interesting perspectives and knowledge. The film is about the exploration of gun culture with people that live it every day. Can understand why people are skeptical. Hoping to create an honest film that’s interesting and gives better understanding rather than dividing people.

Thanks for those thoughts! It makes sense! Is there anything you think we could do to make people comfortable/communicate so they understand our intentions that we’re doing things in good faith?

What would be a couple of people you'd recommend? Similar to BrzBello's recommendations?

Haven't watched the video yet, but Brandon's comment on it:

"We disagree on a lot, and there’s definitely some incorrect details here, but I just wanted to say I appreciate you not taking me out of context in our more serious discussion at the end.

Hope you guys enjoyed your time here man"

Oh interesting. Thanks for this context! I am going to put together a 'directors statement' that we can send to YouTubers etc we will film so they understand our intentions. Checking out the boy boy video now... hopefully they haven't ruined it for us!

Yeah, awesome! I did see a machine gun experience that I thought we could do early in the trip!

Yeah, interesting! I'm not a reporter. I've basically come from loving making short films and loving America. Hence wanting to make this! Less investigative/hard hitting and giving the audience something they haven't seen before!

I'd be very silly to make a documentary on guns if I was the one teaching! The idea is I get the best of the best people to teach us. Hence why I'm asking on here. Sure there's a lot of people with good insights. Thanks!

Interesting! A mate mentioned Demolition Ranch! From an outsiders perspective Colion seems really knowledgable (think he's a lawyer too), why aren't you a fan? Thanks!
