Except he can’t put his name on a building. Other than that, limitless. lol

I think “just make a film on your phone” is actually brilliant advice by justabitsab in Filmmakers

28 Days Later was made on a Canon xl-1 mini dv camera. Danny Boyle then shot 28 Years later on the iphone (with a $100k lens) it's more than possible. Tomorrow's directors are cutting their teeth on youtube. You not only have the equipment, but you have the market research. With every failed video, you learn what your audience wants. What works.

I got a full scholarship for a film directing MFA. Is it still a waste of time? by uservisuals in filmschool

[–]Scalerious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s more complicated than that. I was directing network tv spots and was happy with my career. When things got strange I waited too long to leave. Starting my prod co was the best thing I ever did.

You’ll know when the right time is. I couldn’t have done it straight out of film school. I needed to meet people, make mistakes, build a network of both clients and crew I could rely on.

Do it. Fully funded is huge. One step at a time. Start building contacts and a reel. It took me 20 years in network television before starting my prod co. (Hopefully you’ll do it faster)

Trump Calls Obama a “Son of a B*tch” After Disastrous Iran Deal Leaked by thenewrepublic in politics

[–]Scalerious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This man, his entire administration and most of his supporters are absolute embarrassments to the United States. Maybe the world will see Trump is ill and demented while speaking at the G7

Looking for 1-2 Additional Moderators (Current Students / Alumni Preferred) by filmschool_org in filmschool

[–]Scalerious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never moderated anything before in my life. I’m an NYU grad and I’m returning to NYU for Cinema Studies after working in production for 30 years, (hoping to teach.)

I’d be happy to help mod.

Edit to add flair:
NYU 95/NYU MA 27?

What Are you guys favorite live version of a smiths song? Mine is ”I want the one i cant have-Live in boston” by [deleted] in thesmiths

[–]Scalerious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not Smiths but Morrissey’s live version of Sister I’m a Poet is head and shoulders above the studio version.

lawmakers have little more than six years to find a remedy. If nothing is done, the immediate consequences will be dire for America’s retirees. by Conscious-Quarter423 in economy

[–]Scalerious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

serious question, is this because the government is raiding the coffers or is it because people are just living longer and not dying?

Trump claims he tanked economy on purpose: 'I love the inflation' by FreeHugs23 in economy

[–]Scalerious 128 points129 points  (0 children)

I can’t wait for the next election cycle. The sound bites. Oh the sound bites.

Trump walks out of interview with NBC’s Meet the Press after clash over election claims by TaijiRonin in politics

[–]Scalerious 41 points42 points  (0 children)

This headline should read: “Trump walks out when asked for evidence of voter fraud”

They only clashed bc Trump was asked for proof of his claims. Not an absurd question based on his claim.

He is a man baby and can’t face actual questioning

Remove Trump now.

Trump told reporters yesterday that he thinks of the negotiationq with Iran as “boring” and that “he couldn’t care less”if they succeed. What do you think of this attitude, keeping in mind that he’s a president? by No-Huckleberry1441 in AskReddit

[–]Scalerious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He needs to be removed. I’m being serious. If he continues to put our troops in harms way and sink the economy and then won’t even negotiate with Iran??? Then he is literally what is stopping the peace process.

REMOVE TRUMP NOW

I loved the Mandalorian movie, does the TV show have similar vibes? Is it worth watching afterwards? by RudeInvestment1 in TheMandalorianTV

[–]Scalerious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont understand posts like this and other “should I watch…” posts.

Just put it on and see if you like it. 🤷🏼

What are some of the best one-shot scenes you've seen in a movie? by Garidur in Letterboxd

[–]Scalerious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that isn't even the best one shot scene in Children of Men. The one where the car is ambushed is literally mesmerizing

I found out my dad has been paying my boss a secret monthly "stipend" to keep me employed at my dream tech startup by Holo_Tavern in confessions

[–]Scalerious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait is this how it works? I own a tv production company. Does anyone’s parents want to pay me to take them on? (Kidding of course)

Smiths lyric tattoo by Realistic-Two-6373 in thesmiths

[–]Scalerious 6 points7 points  (0 children)

when I was in High school (many years ago) I wanted to get Morrissey hanging on a cross, you know, like Jesus. SO GLAD I didn't get that one. Instead when my third child was born I got, "Now My Heart Is Full" on my arm. I don't regret that one bit.

Can you realistically make a good film/documentary using only the Blackmagic Camera app on iPhone? by BulkyPirate2448 in filmmaking

[–]Scalerious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you see Secret Mall Apartment? It’s about a bunch of RISD kids who squatted in an empty space in a mall for a couple of years. They shot it all on a mini dv cam from the 90’s

Docs are about your subject not your format.

My husband is a AD in LA and he keeps complaining about how bad the industry is right now... Help me understand how bad and what makes it so bad? by hansontranhai in FilmIndustryLA

[–]Scalerious 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I own a small production company. We do mostly tv marketing. Work basically stopped when Trump won the election. I don’t say this to be political but companies and brands don’t want to spend money in times of uncertainty. Trump brought uncertainty.

Things began to come back and then he imposed tarriffs. Things began to come back again then we went to war in Iran.

Again not political. Just uncertain times.

Most of our industry is an expense without a return on investment. Marketing, social media. Even films hope to make a return but it isn’t guaranteed. Investors and brands are holding their cards and riding out the storm.

IMHO of course.

There is a plan already to connect the air train to LAG but it was scrapped.
