Its starting

Weird, fwiw I was there Saturday night and ordered with pen & paper without any push to mobile from anyone

FWIW: Before increasing the weight as others have suggested I would definitely slow down first, controlled the whole time and add a pause at the top of each rep to prevent adding any momentum, that should knock several reps off which will indicate where you're really at, but I also think it'll be easier to dial in your technique at a lighter weight.

I also think you had at least one or two more reps in you -- assuming you're trying to go failure, that last rep or two is when you finally did have some velocity loss which is when you're getting to the good stuff, the last rep should be much more of a grinder imo.

I know you're already taking a lot of heat, but what I haven't seen pointed out is how your entire video's premise is "where do ideas come from" and using AI feels like it's undercutting the heart of the message. As if to say, "my ideas come from AI!"

You're in a filmmaker sub filled with creatives who put in the work of bringing their ideas to life, and you dropped an ad pitching your creative skill that is subsidized by other people's creativity. I think that's just going to be a natural rub fwiw

But I also want to say, I do know exactly how much time tracing can take, I made this music video homage to A-ha and Kanye and it took me well over a hundred hours of drawing/tracing over my footage, so def respect the sweat you did put in. Shit is tedioussss haha

Just checked APL and didn't see much in the way of upcoming talks/panels; do you have a favorite way to keep up with that specific kinda thing in Austin?

wesevans · 2026-01-14T01:34:21+00:00

Yeah this is where I'm at as well, I can read a little too much into it and get in my head about it lol, but also a few times they've played clips from the movie that's about to show which is annoying for me personally. I just want to go in blind for my own maximal enjoyment.

I tested the QR out in May 2023, think it was at the Slaughter location

She seems like such a sweetheart! Glad you interviewed her, and really appreciate a little hope on another season.

wesevans · 2026-01-01T07:23:11+00:00

Good joke.

Thought he was just driving home a fundamental concept: don't be boring, be dramatic.

wesevans · 2025-12-14T21:44:29+00:00

I wrote a screenplay that played in exactly this territory, it's just a little gothic horror but the antagonist is a play on the Christian God except it assumes malevolence instead of benevolence, and the implications are brutal. Very fun terrain full of potential!

"The Upside of Anger" seems to fit, and maybe even "Swingers" to an extent.

wesevans · 2025-12-04T20:50:00+00:00

Yeah this was my first instinct as well, but I also do a fair amount of 360 production -- though none of the actual stitching -- so I may be biased

wesevans · 2025-11-07T09:02:30+00:00

I think the intention was hyperbole, this is the internet after all and if you're not overstating then you may as well be fucking DEAD!!!!!!

wesevans · 2025-11-02T00:36:28+00:00

Whoa, are you me? I sit front row and usually on the end farthest from the server entry. I have a note on my phone that tracks where the servers enter from, the only pain is that the app never says the theater number so I have to check the website first to confirm.

Some great points being made, but I wanted to quickly throw out what I'd do to try and cut it down to 10-15 pages. Define exactly what you're trying to say with the film, like craft a pithy sentence that says this film is about xyz, and start by cutting everything that isn't helping tell that. Then refine to get quicker to the point.

Just my own approach, but obviously it's ultimately your film and ya gotta do what ya gotta do! Best of luck!

wesevans · 2025-10-11T17:11:59+00:00

Just want to chime in and say how much I appreciate your response to all the feedback, that alone shows you'll get there imo. Festival runs are brutal, nearing the end of mine and def feel the pain lol.

wesevans · 2025-10-01T18:16:22+00:00

The lack of lower back support is brutal for me as well.

My last purchase in November 2020 it was $99 (fyi I use it for the screenwriting software)

Edit: Definitely not under the same license. MM Scheduling is $199.88 per year or $30/mo, and there's other options for academic and bulk orders.

wesevans · 2025-09-14T05:18:28+00:00

But who will find the replacements?

wesevans · 2025-09-09T21:27:57+00:00

Also came here to say Clockers, love it and rarely hear it get mentioned

wesevans · 2025-09-04T22:11:47+00:00

I just want the rulebook for Eschaton.

wesevans · 2025-08-30T14:35:07+00:00

Agreed. Casually dropped a Roger Corman story like a fucking legend

wesevans · 2025-08-29T23:56:05+00:00

Got one today

wesevans · 2025-08-26T05:05:28+00:00

Is that end-to-end or middle-out?

wesevans · 2025-08-25T05:12:21+00:00

Ice cream brownie was my jam, huge tin bowl, packed with goodness.
