MISSING, starring Storm Reid, is a standalone sequel to the computer-screen-thriller SEARCHING. MISSING is also a screen-based film, and the editors, Arielle Zakowski and Austin Keeling, were kind enough to show me their very specific and unique post workflow to create it. As their first studio feature film, they really got thrown in the deep end working on such a technically challenging film, but their results speak for themselves - it's a great movie! And wonderfully edited. Go check out MISSING in theaters now, and see the extended 45 minute version of my interview with Austin and Arielle on my Patreon: patreon.com/standardstoryco

Don't spend thousands of dollars buying filmmaking gear when you can get up and running for a fraction of the cost by renting. Renting cameras and other film gear is an excellent way to test the waters with different tools and brands, while also getting more production value in your project.

This project took about a week and $1k. It would have gone a lot faster if I didn't also have to film it. But now my office feels so much more spacious and it's just easier to get things done.
Between the Wall Control pegboard and the freed up space in the cabinets, finding the gear/tools I need is so fast. And with the filing cabinet I don't have random papers sitting around anymore. I have a hard time being creative when my space is cluttered, so for me this was a good investment.
Hope you get some inspiration for your own little office / workspace. For reference, my office is 10x7 feet.
