Film Stuff Podcast

It's a hard question to answer, since where (or if) you go to university and what you major is a personal question. Soo Zee never went to film school. Leigh went to film school. Twice. There's some pros and some cons to going to film school and we go over them in detail in this episode. We also talk about why we hold the unpopular opinion that going to a prestigious film school is better than going to one no one has ever heard of. TLDR: if you aren't already making films, film school won't help you. Show notes: • The milk frother we're obsessed with https://www.nespresso.com/us/en/order/accessories/vertuo/milk-frother-aeroccino • My classmate Max's mini Guy Ritchie heist movie. It's called Getaway. Keep in mind this was made a decade ago. It was also probably the first film he ever made using filmstock (not digital video). I'd have to ask him, but I think he was barely out of his teens when he wrote and directed this? https://vimeo.com/13182883 • We mentioned George Lucas just donated a shedload of money to

We tried flying a drone! Here are some of the things we learned, some things we didn't expect, and the details of what you need to know to fly a drone in Korea. Despite how much we rant about our drone stress, we actually love aerial photography. Helicams, quadcopters, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), oh my! Show notes: • We mentioned how some militaries are training eagles to take out drones. Here's more info about that (from the Washington post) https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2017/02/21/terrorists-are-building-drones-france-is-destroying-them-with-eagles/?utm_term=.229d2180c179 • Here's our video from the Netherlands where we used those "static shots" from the drone (drone shots are at the end) http://bit.ly/2sbnqsW • A big thank you to our drone friend for letting us use his helicam! This is the exact model we used https://www.dji.com/phantom-3-pro • All the restrictions and safety concerns we mentioned led the Seoul Metropolitan Government to create an official space for people to

More film stuff! In this one we embrace our rage and rant about Korean television, namely why 미생 was such a big deal, the difference between Korean and international K-Drama viewers, and why Korean TV shows don't have seasons?????? Also we call people in their 40s and 50s "old folk" even though we don't really believe that. As you listen, you'll also here us reference a few specific dramas. Here's the full list: • 꽃보다 남자 (Boys Before Flowers) • 드림하이 (Dream High) • 미생 (Incomplete Life) • 커피프린스1호점 (The Coffee Prince) • 아이리스 (Iris) • 굿닥터 (Good Doctor) • 굿 와이프 (Good Wife) • 도깨비 (Goblin) • Sherlock • Lost • Game of Thrones • Grey's Anatomy • Days of Our Lives • How I Met Your Mother • Friends • Big Bang Theory For more nerdy discussions about film sign up for the Film Stuff newsletter here http://bit.ly/2bVmOez You can also see the stuff we make over here http://youtube.com/c/DoStuff

Another film stuff is here! In this one we talk about what makes YouTube different from other genres of film, why Soo Zee and Leigh like it so much, and what in the moldy cheese is a genre anyway? As you listen, you'll also here us mention the following: • The "overture" also sometimes called the "dream ballet." Find more examples of that here: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DreamBallet • We also talked about Casey Neistat's vlog style and we did a whole video about that. Watch it here: https://youtu.be/uVVMJdGXzEw • BookTube! We really like this genre, and here is a great BookTuber. Soo Zee calls this channel squirrels and things because she can't remember the actual name: booksandquills. https://www.youtube.com/c/booksandquills • We mentioned clickbaiting at the end, and how YouTubers might have to do certain things to gain more likes, but we sort of glossed over it. Ethan and Hila Klein from H3H3 did a pretty funny video explaining (and parodying) how to play the Youtube game. Check it out her

The first episode of Film Stuff is here! In it we talk about Stanley Kubrick: his elaborate sets, his special effects techniques, even his choice of music and framing. As you listen, you'll also hear us mention the following: • Our toast video, in which we parodied the opening sequence of 2001: A Space Odyssey (https://youtu.be/uuBfDW-kGx4) • An awesome video essay about Kubrick's love of one point perspective (https://vimeo.com/48425421) • Slit scan technology (https://vimeo.com/41747091)
