Builder, you know how you always start with a rock‑solid base before you even pick a hammer? I’m wondering if a film needs that same kind of foundation or if you can just wing it and watch the whole thing collapse in the most beautiful way.

A film’s gotta have a solid base before you start hammering out scenes. If you skip the script, the schedule, the cast notes, you’ll be trying to hold up a wall with just a single nail. Sure, a bit of improvisation can add spark, but you still need that frame, that plan. Otherwise you’ll end up with a shaky set that even the best crew can’t save.

A base is a suggestion, not a rule. I’d rather swing a nail in the middle of a collapsing wall than build a scaffolding that never lifts off the ground. If you want spark, get a few nails in the air and see where gravity takes them.

You can swing a nail out of nowhere, but the rest of the crew will still be standing on a shaky foundation. If the base’s weak, no amount of aerial sparks will keep the structure from falling apart. A good plan lets the team move forward with confidence and the film stays together.

Yeah, a shaky base sounds great for a story about nothing holding. But if you want a crew that doesn’t jump off the set, a little skeleton—an outline, a beat sheet—doesn’t hurt. Just keep the bones loose, the edges fuzzy. The script can be a skeleton that turns into a full body mid‑shoot. That’s the trick.
