" I think it is easy to make a movie. The technology is democratized. They make cameras that anyone can use." Another guy holds up his iPhone and says, "You can make a movie on this." Kevin then says, "and you can edit a movie on that and upload it right to the internet. To make Clerks we had to rent equipment to make it, lights, a steambeck to edit it. All of that you can do right on that phone. So the technology is in closer reach for everyone to do it. The problem is with so many people doing it it it is tough to stand out because now the field is even wider with all the competition because it is open to everybody."
He goes on to talk more about Clerks, and how people are inspired by it. He also talks about how he actually encourages people to do podcasting instead of making movies because it is cheaper and easier to do. |
so you just pull the same bullshit misrepresentation again.
no where in that quote does he say "getting into festivals and getting notices was much easier than actually making the movie"
or
" It used to be hard to make the movie and easier to get notice. Now it is easier to make the movie and harder to get noticed (at least get noticed to the point where you actually make some money and have success)."
Both those statements were a bald face lie.
because he didn't say that
in fact the shit you glossed over was making the point i was making about sharing and releasing
if you actually listened to the pod cast rather that short clip you quoted from
http://smodcast.com/channels/the-secret-stash/
you would realize how much shit your talking
hell that tv show is an example of the wil wheaton sharing strategy because it came out of this pod cast series
a pod cast series that ming chen and the guys uses to talk about crazy comic book stories on their podcast networks.

the story about how comic book men got on the air, and why "losers" like ming chen became tv star is not only very funny but informative.
