Re: Do I tend to overthink things in filmmaking?
Everyone here is missing the obvious answer: every scene needs to have a cat.
The cat sits in a corner of the room/forest/volcano away from everyone else. The cat is aloof. The cat don't give a crap about nuffin'. Every time a line needs to be removed, cut to a CU of the cat, as if to say "this cat is above your petty human concerns, and cares about none of what is happening here". Problem solved. |

I like your cat idea. Mine was to fly Brian out to direct Ryan's movie but only on the condition he may never ask a question here again.

Re: Do I tend to overthink things in filmmaking?
Good idea, but going by Paul's post length HE'S the most obsessed and so should direct. It would free his soul. Bryan seems pretty chill already.

Re: Do I tend to overthink things in filmmaking?
Yeah but Brian is chill like the cat and that's what's needed. I can't blame Paul it only takes me a few exchanges with Ryan and I've exceed my daily quota and need a day to recoup.

Re: Do I tend to overthink things in filmmaking?
My answer is that Ryan should experiment with his editing and learn from his own mistakes, so find out what works and what doesn't. Otherwise, he'll always need someone holding his hand.
As one of the moderators on another forum advised, Ryan has to go out and make films, so he can learn. It's like trying to learn how to be a bricklayer by just asking questions on a forum, after a certain point you need to lay bricks to progress. |

Re: Do I tend to overthink things in filmmaking?
The great thing about this forum is that Brian and I actually met! Out of the two of us, he's absolutely the best director. I'd like to think I'm pretty good at putting out fires. The thing with all of us is that everything we say here genuinely helps other people. I doubt we will ever help Ryan, as to help, he'd need to change how he does things and he's stuck to a path we can't change, but the content if archived would be so useful in places that teach film making. You could use this as so much useful info and an explanation of why things go wrong. We're all educationalists!

Re: Do I tend to overthink things in filmmaking?
Unfortunately, Ryan's threads have a non linear structure.
