To clarify so no one's confused, he's not saying characters are the only important thing on screen. The cinematography HELPS TELL THE STORY, but characters are the story itself.

[satinderk]

Never heard anyone explain it like this. I just ordered his book and looking forward to it.

[djcfilmz]

I can say already that doing my first feature I can say its so critical to see the performance with everything happening. Very well said!

[AshieduJude]

Thanks to team FILM COURAGE for these idea videos

[giovannibertoia]

Great, to the point advice! Thank you! Looking forward the complete interview.

[olgajefferson-kerrlda]

Mark made important points about the inter-relatedness of film making...reminding us to hold true to the character.  Thank you.

[sprechbarinberlin]

wonderful - you can see how much passion Mark has for film making.

[bastianrivero]

So much insight! Keep doing these amazing capsules 🎥🍿

As arrogant as it sounds I feel like I already knew this about film innately.

Luke warm or wooden acting always let's down brilliant cinematography and effects.

An honest vulnerable energetic acting performance has always caught my eye and elevated a production imo as a viewer and aspiring filmmaker.

Great to have it confirmed with such clarity, I wonder if this is why I hear scorcese loves to have his framing planned to the finest detail very early in development

I recently interviewed Blake Robbins about his new film, The Scent of Rain and Lightning. I sited your discussion with Mark W. Travis during our discussion. Blake does something a little different with back ground actors. He personally spends time with them getting them ready for a scene by what he likes to call putting on the gray primer. Blake has worked in Hollywood for over 25 years in numerous productions. He's prob most known as Jim Halperin's brother on "The Office." Seek him out. He would be perfect for your channel. Amazing director and a lovely man.

[eddyjuillerat]

Totally true. It's the most difficult thing to do, beside directing actors.

[NaamNamaN]

He is genius ..he knows exactly what's the primary priority to tell a story..

I am soon going to go to high school and I still don't know what I want to become when I grow up. Since I was a child my obsession were cartoons and they still are. I've always wanted to be part of making an actual movie and everytime someone asks me what I want to do in the future this is always what comes on my mind. But as far as I'm concerned it's not easy and there's a huge possibility that I might not succeed. I still want to give it a shot though and makemy dream come true but I really need some advice.... What should I do?

[chrissystewart]

Thankyou I'm into film directing it's my long-term

[pallabdasgupta]

A casting mistake - Jennifer Lawrence in American Hustle. Marisa Tomei, for instance, would've made more sense. But, well, everything's a mess in American Hustle anyway.

[superbewerter]

I´m not agreeing with everything he said. I think also the Director (the camera) can tell a Story if it´s done right. You can tell a Story also with great camera work, like Edgar Wright does in his movies

[anthonymendoza]

Thank you for your insight...T><>

Fascinating that the people giving advice aren't able to translate this advice into practical use. Hmm, why is that? I think this advice may not be as valuable as you think. Becoming a good director is like becoming a good comedian. It's a mixture of knowledge, practice, timing and taste. If you do not have the gift of good taste and timing, then you will never become a great director.

[christopherdavis]

this is stupid. the main job of the director is to yell: "CUT!"
