Most Directors Make THIS Mistake - Quentin Tarantino Nates Film Tutorials 2023-06-11 | "Harvey (Keitel) was, you know, really took me under his wing on Reservoir Dogs. And one of the things that he taught me, uh, in auditions, and I've kept it to this day, is, um, actors would come in and they would just say, 'Quentin, don't help them out in that very first reading. Don't give them any guidance. Don't tell them how you want the scene. Don't tell them what you're looking for.' They've had the material themselves, and they've come up with their own, yeah. You will never, ever see what there was in their head the very first time. And unless you let them do it, an adjustment is the easiest thing in the world to give, and you're the director, they'll do whatever you say. But let them do their first shot at it, what they came up with." - Quentin Tarantino

There's no excuse anymore." - Werner Herzog

Tarantinos 3 Rules for Directing Actors... Nates Film Tutorials 2023-06-08 | "Don't be intimidated by your actors. Don't be scared. You're there to find it together. Don't help them out in that very first reading. Don't give them any guidance. Don't tell them how you want the scene. Don't tell them what you're looking for.' They've had the material themselves, and they've come up with their own, yeah. You will never, ever see what there was in their head the very first time. And unless you let them do it, an adjustment is the easiest thing in the world to give, and you're the director, they'll do whatever you say. But let them do their first shot at it, what they came up with."One of the best things that a film director today can do for an actor is not be stuck in Video Village, not be watching it on a monitor, and not be watching it on a TV set sitting in your chair, oftentimes in a whole other room. But then where the scene's taking place. I mean, that's a fairly new phenomenon, and it's completely taken over. And I mean, so much so that I really wouldn't want to be starting all over again as an actor with the directors watching my work from another room. 'Hey, do this.' 'You know what camera look?' 'Could you tell him to don't do a camera right?' 'Right.' I think you should be sitting right by the camera. If you watch the acting right next to the cam, right in front of the actors, it's as if they are acting just and solely and utterly only for you." - Quentin Tarantino.
Filmmaking is Problem-solving - Paul Greengrass Nates Film Tutorials 2023-06-07 | Making a film is not just about the film that you would make in the abstract, but also about finding a way to bring that idea to life within the practical constraints of resources and time. Director Paul Greengrass (Captain Philips, Jason Bourne) shares his insights on the creative process of filmmaking. Full video → youtu.be/7TeEIBxSed0 "When you make a film, in a sense, you're forced to confront one of the fundamental truths of filmmaking - that filmmaking is not about the film that you would make in the abstract, it's about the film that you can make in practice. Filmmaking is an activity defined by the creative mission blended with what's possible, so you might want to do film X but you might only have money Y, and somehow out of that matrix of conflicting factors what it is you want to do versus the resources that you've got versus the time available, and so the more that you can expose yourself to that process, the more you'll develop the creative muscles that you need to pursue a career as a filmmaker." - Paul Greengrass
You wont be a filmmaker unless... - Sidney Lumet Nates Film Tutorials 2023-06-06 | "Work wherever you can, doesn't matter what. A documentary, a commercial, wherever you can get near a camera, wherever you can. Especially if you're a director, you're not going to be a director and get to continue to put your eye behind into that finder. And, uh, it doesn't matter what. There's no such thing as good work or bad workers, only work at the beginning until you've got enough under your belt technically and have your legs unto you until you've learned to walk. You need all of it."
You Cant Do Filmmaking Alone - James Cameron Nates Film Tutorials 2023-06-05 | "First rule is, you can't do it all yourself. Even though you may know how to do many of these different tasks, you physically can't do it, and you need a team, and you need the respect and the trust of that team. So that was a lesson that took me a while to figure out, because at first, I just wanted to do it all myself. I was like, 'Ah, you're doing it wrong,' and that doesn't work. That doesn't ultimately achieve the vision, whatever the vision is, whether it's someone else's vision, or when, in my case, when I started directing, was my vision. I couldn't push people out of the way. I had to learn to inspire people to give me their best work, and I also had to learn to accept what they brought, even if it was either not as good or good, but just different from what I had imagined. And say that the end result of our collective efforts will be exactly that. It'll be all of our efforts together. It won't ever be exactly the way I imagined it, and that's, I think, an important lesson as well. In any group enterprise, it's going to be the sum total of the group. So choose your group well. The biggest part of my job as a director." - James Cameron
Best Filmmaking Advice Straight from Directors Mouths Nates Film Tutorials 2023-06-03 | Full video → youtu.be/7TeEIBxSed0Learn from the best and kickstart your filmmaking journey with these 3 essential pieces of advice from film directors James Cameron, Darren Aronofsky, and Guillermo del Toro. According to these experts, you don't need fancy equipment or a big budget to start creating, all you need is your own story and a camera. Follow their advice and discover the magic of film as you share your unique vision with the world."Pick up a camera, shoot something. No matter how small, no matter how cheesy, no matter whether your friends and your sister star in it. Put your name on it as director, now you're a director." - James Cameron."If you want to be a filmmaker, the best thing you can bring to the world is your own story. And there's something that's very personal to you, and something that you have your own singular connection to. That if it really is important to you, there are people all over the planet that will relate to it. So, the mistakes happen when you try to figure out what everyone likes. Because the only thing you can be sure of is what you like. And the reality is, what you like ends up being what a lot of people like, because we're all going through a very similar journey. And that's the magic of film." - Darren Aronofsky."If you dislike the movies that are being made, make your own. Show the world what you want to do, what you think this medium should be. And, I find that much more creative than simply putting it down and complaining about it. It is a more active, fascinating role to take. So, the advice is, if you want to direct, direct. And even easier, if you want to write, write." - Guillermo del Toro.
Best Filmmaking Advice from Directors... Nates Film Tutorials 2023-05-31 | Full video → youtu.be/7TeEIBxSed0 "What I kind of learned early on is that your voice is as important as anyone else's. Now, you may not always be right and you shouldn't be cocky about it, but I felt like I needed to learn that the ideas that I had were as good as anyone else's ideas. It's one of those things, I think, that it's good to be reminded, or if you don't know it at all, be told that that thing that you feel, if you really feel it, other people do too." - JJ Abrams"I always remember thinking, initially trying to make films, I always felt like, you got nervous that somebody else was right, who was talking for, you know, who maybe was in a position of power. I like that their opinion somehow was right or better than yours. And so, I mean, you could never stop to think like, no, it's just different, you just think differently than I do and that's okay, you know, but I'm not wrong." - Paul Thomas Anderson.
Martin Scorsese’s Quick Thinking on the Set of “Silence” Nates Film Tutorials 2023-05-28 | "The samurai coming into the village, I had it planned for a long time that Rodriguez and group. I looked down and they see a horse, a ride on this horse go to the village and kick up all the dust and everything, and the people are looking. And then the samurai come, it's what a great, oh, what a vision I wanted. I've had it for years in my head. If a horse is going to go, so we tried it. First of all, there was no dust, it was all mud, and we're up on a hill, and the horse is going, you know. And I said, 'Isn't as dramatic I imagine this, like Kurosawa type horse.' And aha, oh man, I look at the two monitors and it's white, they're both white. I said, 'What happened to the camera?' He said, 'The mist came in.' Because I told Rodrigo, I said, 'Shoot.' He said, 'We're just gonna rehearse it.' 'Shoot. Don't tell him.' And that's what you see in the film. And so we went back and reshot the first part." - Martin Scorsese.
Ridley Scotts Directing Secrets Revealed... Nates Film Tutorials 2023-05-27 | "Stop rehearsing, because when you rehearse, inevitably the actor will do it, and you think, 'They just did it!' So I would then say, 'Right, stop. We're not going to ask, we're just going to walk through for focus and marks. Then, I'm gonna, on the first hit, gonna shoot. We're gonna film the actor Will, he's locked and loaded, and they will deliver mostly all of what you want within the first or second take. Everything after that is a revolution of what you thought you had when you weren't turning to me when I'm saying, 'Listen, I don't want you to waste what you've got, juiced up.' I want to be turning when you come out from that curtain, which I'm seeing action. So, they said that makes sense, that I know. So let's do it. So, when you do that, plus, I always work with a minimum four to six cameras a scene. That's scheduled to shoot by the end of the day. Let's say I'm done by 11 o'clock." - Ridley Scott.

Matt Damon on Spielbergs Filmmaking in Saving Private Ryan Nates Film Tutorials 2023-05-25 | "I remember when I was doing Saving Private Ryan, there was a scene between a couple other guys and Spielberg moved on. We were, he was marching off to the next kind of little, uh, place he was going to shoot, and I said, 'Stephen, you know, don't you think we should have done a couple more takes of that thing, you know, because it hadn't been great?' He turned on a dime, and he said, 'I could spend another hour on that scene and perhaps make it 10% better, or I can go do another great shot. I'm gonna do the shot.'" - Matt Damon
