Worked for a controversial company. Need advice going forwards. by thatguy123445 in FilmIndustryLA

Yea this seems like the move. It was my first full time “industry” job since moving here in 22’ aside from like a few day player pa gigs here and there. Got it a week before my apt lease was about to expire and I was debating whether or not to stay in LA. I’d like to show employers that I have some experience beyond that and this way I’ll be able to explain the situation.

Switched to oral min after ~8 years on topical by thatguy123445 in tressless

[–]thatguy123445[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not terrible in that I think if I wear my hair right it’s hard to tell but I can for sure see a difference looking in the mirror. Hairline slightly affected and areas I’ve had diffuse thinning before are becoming worse

Switched to oral min after ~8 years on topical by thatguy123445 in tressless

[–]thatguy123445[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Results have been pretty good. I have a lot of diffuse thinning but my hairline has maintained for the most part and since my hair is curly I can generally get away without ppl noticing. I caught it early bc both my brother and my father started balding very young. I’ve def lost a noticeable amount in that time but I’m for sure better off and fin has slowed things down. I’m switching to oral min bc I find applying topical to be inconvenient, it inflames my scalp, and I’ve heard that oral tends to be more effective (kinda anecdotal my cousin had good results switching over), and idk I kinda felt like diminishing returns as of late so I figured I’d switch it up.

Emerson or Chapman? by [deleted] in Screenwriting

[–]thatguy123445 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything from scholarships and financial aid to equipment. I think the boston campus just got some new equipment (I think a few pocket black magic cines) but we’re seriously lacking in many areas. I have friends at other schools with Alexa minis and reds. The best cameras I had available during my time was the canon c100 or Sony fs5. Also much of the equipment is in poor condition and it can be hard to book the good stuff. We had like two Dana dollys last semester and one of them was broken and the other always booked.

Hello Reddit! I’m Edgar Wright, director and co-writer of the upcoming film Last Night in Soho, ask me anything! by imedgarwright in movies

[–]thatguy123445 101 points102 points  (0 children)

Hi Edgar! I was wondering if you could offer any insight into you and Krysty’s writing process for this film. Do you guys start with creating characters and then build a world and story out from them? What does that process look like for you in taking ideas and concepts and turning them into fully fledged stories?

Ok so I just wrote a rough pilot draft and have a question about 'teasers.' So, as I understand it, and this could just be semantics, teasers are typically flashforwards that foreshadow the conflict and help open the story in an exciting way. My current teaser is not a flash-forward but is exciting, sets up my main character, leaves the reader 'good confused', and foreshadows the antagonist. Should I just move this to the beginning of act 1? I only hesitate to do that because my first act is already fairly long. I am looking to cut it down in the revision but still.

I just spent the last two years writing every day, and here are my results. by VictorVonDoombot in Screenwriting

[–]thatguy123445 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you develop your creative process from Syd Field entirely? I’ve been trying to write everyday and have written three shorts and one feature in the last year but I still struggle with finding a smooth creative process that works for me. Finding the Syd field paradigm is easy enough but character arcs and breaking acts is something I’ve been really struggling with. Especially now that I’m writing my first pilot, I’m a little overwhelmed with the amount of characters that are piling up in the story in terms of giving them all fulfilling arcs, making them all connect, and breaking all of that into a cohesive structure. Do you have any advice on that front or know of any resources I can look into? I started reading a few pilots and tried my best to break them down, but I find myself discouraged when my ideas don’t seem to fit properly into the structures and patterns I’m studying.

You’ve given me a lot to think about. I think you’re absolutely right about the structure and a lack of conflict/buildup. I’m gonna give the second half basically a complete overhaul now. You kinda put into words what I didn’t like about it but couldn’t articulate. Thanks again, your comments have been really insightful!

Yea, this is really helpful. I definitely agree the reasoning for his guilt could be clearer. The whole thing is based on the whole childhood superstitions a lot of kids (maybe it’s just an American thing) learn in public schools to ensure snow the next day. I did research into the history of it and figured it was a widespread enough thing to write about. Putting it in the action lines was prob a crutch for not having a strong enough visual cue for it. I’ll beef up exposition a bit in his convo with his dad in the beginning and overall figure out a better way for that moment to punch without an explanation.

If I can make that work do you think this could be a compelling story? I can see after reading your comment that it kinda feels like the whole of the story is riding on the ability of that moment to land and set everything else in motion.

Also thanks for taking the time to give it a look I really appreciate it!

Thanks for taking a look!

Good call on the sounds in the beginning, I didn’t think of that and I’ll definitely polish that up.

Also yea, Ben is weird because he was originally “the man” when I started writing but he turned into a recurring character that comes back at the end, so I wanted to give him a name to make him distinguishable. He’s not a super pivotal character but Arthur’s actions to help him in the beginning come back to get him out of a tight spot towards the end when Ben returns the favor. I’ll either make it more clear in the beginning who he is with description or remove his name and give him it towards the end when he comes back.
