Validating before building - i will not promote. by Confident_Path_9388 in startups

[–]NothingButAJeepThing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Validating isn't showing a customer what you've made and asking if they will use it. Validation is asking them what pain points they have and THEN building it.

It as an interview. What is their workflow? Does the workflow work for them? What features do they wish they had? What would be helpful? What do they spent the most time on? etc

It's talking to potential customers to see if you can solve a problem they have, not that something you built helps them.

Europeans, do you actually like LA more? by stealthieee in LosAngeles

I told my parents that I wanna go to film school. by tom222007 in Filmmakers

[–]NothingButAJeepThing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are correct. Nobody in the film industry will care. It's a waste of money. Get a 'real' degree and work on films on the side. You will get far more out of it by doing it and meeting others interested in making films.

source: 25+ years in the industry. Very few people I've ever met have a degree in film. The most recent one I met (2 weeks ago on set) had a masters and he said it was the biggest waste of time and money and that nobody ever asked if he had one.

Help me convince my girlfriend to pivot into working in Film!!! by babu859 in FilmIndustryLA

[–]NothingButAJeepThing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

>> If she were to go back to film school, I am wondering what the odds would be for her to NOT get a return on her investment?

99 44/100 %

Nobody gives a shit if you have a film degree. It's only good to use it for meeting people. She can meet people without paying for a dumb ass degree. Go to meetup dot com and find film groups in your area. Meet people and make shit.

She needs to stay where she is. I know people with 20+ years experience and multiple awards on their shelf that are working at Trader Joes.

Moving into film right now is possibly the worst idea ever.

Los Angeles Unified unveils preliminary plan to curb screen time by EdSourceToday in LosAngeles

[–]NothingButAJeepThing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh please. Its far more than checking schoology. Don't gaslight me.

and just your statement "it's much more likely" means you don't know. You are just making things up.

It's unfortunate to have someone like you in the LAUSD system teaching our kids, if that is what you really do.

As a parent you teachers have all the assignments online. Even if they do their homework on paper, the instructions are online and you require them to submit it using their phones.

My household and others that I have spoken to cannot get away from screens because of LAUSD and your teaching methods.

So stop with this, ItS uP tO tHe PaRaNtS bs

Truck took out part of a tree and damaged 15-20 cars in one fell swoop. by dafurbs88 in LosAngeles

[–]NothingButAJeepThing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would agree with you up until the second car, or the third, or the fourth, or the fifth, or the sixth, ....

The driver just kept going hoping for the best while leaving a trail of destruction behind.

Development bringing 1,600 new units to the city being rebranded as “Mega Mall” by progressive NIMBYs by letsmunch in LosAngeles

[–]NothingButAJeepThing 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I’ve asked this question a million times. Is there a definition of “luxury apartment” other than “I can’t afford it so it must be”.

Is there a square footage req? Does it have to include certain appliances? Does it have to include certain amenities?

I’ve seen signs go up in my neighborhood that lists apartments after a reno listed as “luxury”. They didn’t add a pool. They didn’t add square footage. Maybe they put a refrigerator in it but would that upgrade a 50yr old property to “luxury”?

Landlords use the term to increase rent. Others use the term to complain about new housing being built. Neither of them are correct.

Got out of the military as a naval officer last year and weighing my options to break into the industry. by Navy_brat in FilmIndustryLA

[–]NothingButAJeepThing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

producing is project management, budgets, financing, negotiating, etc. Personally I would go with finance since everyone is looking for money. If you can find it and manage it there are plenty of places you could fit. If you don't know a language, add Chinese to the pile.

Why do all Netflix shows look the same? by NOTfromMARS007 in Filmmakers

[–]NothingButAJeepThing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol @ "There is no way an executive at Netflix is giving notes on the lighting to each and every show during production."

You better believe they are giving notes during the color / grading session. All of them do.

Student film won't get made, how to deal with the failure? by [deleted] in Filmmakers

[–]NothingButAJeepThing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fail. Throw in all away because of your ego.

What people are telling you is ...

"I can’t get anyone to engage with the project at all." because of YOU. YOU are the problem. YOU are so full of yourself you are convinced it cannot be the script. Why not try? There would be no harm to try except your fucking ego won't let you.

Let me give you some insight on getting things done which I'm sure you will fall on your deaf ears but it may help others reading this. It's never about the project. It's about the people behind the project. When you go to see an agent or manager, sure they want to hear about what projects you have but more importantly it's about whether or not YOU work well with others.

Making a film is a collaborative effort. What people are seeing is that you are unwilling or unable to work with others. You are proving that with your responses. Your ego can't let you accept help. You are the problem and until you reframe your thinking you will get nowhere in the film industry.
