[Wells]

That quote about how the professionalism about movies will be destroyed and then it will become an art form really strikes me. So many crafts have this gatekeep, this stopgap of "well thats not real ____" so to have someone do the exact oppositie is so refreshing and inspiring

Note to self: borrow your dad’s 8mm camera.

FF Coppola excited for the accessibility of movie-making. what a big heart. what a legend

The way Fincher says “Get an iPad” is so funny to me for no reason, although he is right

[TedOtis]

You can edit and license music for very little, the only hard costs are a good sound rig, never underestimate your sound, it’s more important than your image quality, and if you want to shoot at night, or match scenes, a good lighting rig is another potential cost. Don’t forget the backbone of all great movies. Great scripts!! ✍🏻

I bow down to every single one of these directions.

[duhlorean]

I'm currently on this path. All i've done is stop motion in my free time and released edited roblox footage. I'm gonna make a live action with my buddies this summer to be exact. Wish me luck.

I LOVE this whole clip with how Chris Nolan had his humble beginnings... then Francis Ford Coppola ending on that note of professionalism

[tusharkumar]

It is strange that most of the successful filmmakers didn't went to a Filmmaking School.

[manumudgal]

I wish Christopher Nolan would make a animation movie.😁

[jhilmiliqueen]

he talked about the end of professionalism like something bad was happening, and then baaam! it will truly become an art for- what a happy beginning!!

I'd like to take a crack at it. I'm a historian. I have lots of old stories in my head.

[KadenChampion]

It's all about skill. You can have a crappy camera, crapy equipment and the audience can forgive that aslong as the story is good and there is clearly a level of expertise that went into shooting the film. The opposite can also be said. You can have an amazing camera, amazing equipment but the audience wont appreciate that if your story is crappy and your not clearly not experienced. And, when I say experience, I mean in terms of actually shooting the film (cinematography), and editing the film (such as pacing and overall theme building, etc).

I remember running around woth my forst camera, shooting video’s and editing them as a kid in elementery school, action movies and all that. making stop motion animations with legos using a 2 px webcam.. now im 26 and still dreaming of becoming a filmmaker

[mikehess]

Super 8 movies...It was great fun filming. Now I use my phone.

[Anakinskywalkerfan]

Note to self the last director show Francis ford coopla gives great advice

[mrfuzzy]

Thats why i like directors/videographers. Hey look that teeny tiny 2mpixel camera can make vids, lets Photographers: NO! You need 35mm with an 0.01 aperture lens, nothing is good without boke

[FirstClassEntertainment-umip]

all great words from incredible directors.
I hope to follow in their footsteps one day...
