Ethan shares a bunch he learned about camera angles from his practice project filming a mock aerial property advertisement for a condo building. A critical revelation: close up shots trigger the non visual parts of the viewers mind and unlock all 5 senses!
Together Ethan & Ryan discuss the benefits of planning shots in advance, how to use example content for a leap ahead, and how using editor templates both speed up your creating but also your learning. Ethan gets excited yet again about the advice he learned from new 14 Day Filmmaker lessons.
Also a discussion about how doing podcasting & staying in touch with friends via voicemail has actually increased Ethan’s non-existent ability to shut up and listen. Leading to deeper conversations, better connections with friends, and hopefully better podcast episodes for the audience.
Finally, Ryan again shares his writing skills from whiskey school, breaking down not just how much he dislikes starting a story in the middle of the climax, but why it’s a bad idea and how to make the story better.
