No matter what the subject of your film is, two low-tech tools will help you make it better: a pen and a notebook. Before you leave your house you should have your entire video written down. How the video will start, what the transitions will be like, what you’re going to do, how the video will end, what the background music will be, how many times you’ll have to do a certain thing to get the right footage from various angles. In short, you want to do all the creative work on paper, so that when you’re outside with the camera, all you have to do is get the right footage to tell you story.

The 7-year-old says he was trying to save the world. But school administrators say he broke a key rule during his pretend play.
“I was trying to save people and I just can’t believe I got…
What the actual fuck.
Thought Crimes? “… He was playing a game during recess at Loveland’s Mary Blair Elementary School and threw an imaginary grenade into a box with pretend evil forces inside. …”

This is an interesting question, because Tumblr is largely reblogs of cat GIFs. I will often write posts that are SEVERAL PARAGRAPHS long, and sometimes, straight-up, multi-page essays.
When I first joined Tumblr I remember thinking maybe that was wrong or bad, since I was new to the community…
I think you get to decide what Tumblr is for, and if someone else has a problem with that, they can direct their complaints to that brick wall over there.
“Go tell the brick wall” :)

Hmmm…. I’m less about elbows, more about degree of hunched shoulders. But the sentiment remains the same!
