📌 What filmmakers would you like to see next?

[David_Quinn]

My favorite thing is Nolan uses film and lenses that are 30+ years old which proves the point that you do not need new gear to make a great photo or footage.

"Flip Your idea." As creatives we tend to mull over idea's and let them develop with time. For example, for the last 15 years I have been working an idea that in the last six months has completely flipped from what it stated as. Next is to "Assume it will fail" and work towards removing the obstacles of failure to the path of success.
Thanks again for your research and insight! Also nice to see the comments from many new viewers finding your creative insights.

I believe that the way Chris Nolan captures his cinematography sets an example to everyone trying to create art. I’m in love with this video and have drawn great inspiration from it

[janesombese]

The last part is the best reminder and advice to go on. THANKS, ALOT 👌

[narelle]

I've been away from the internet for a few weeks. This was insightful to come back to. Thankyou Tatiana.

Long time watcher of your videos here - Its been a pleasure to watching your curation visually and spoken word become more and more beautiful. your attention to detail is top knotch. great work here, looking forwards to what is to come.

I think the last one was my favourite take - indeed if we think of how a project can collapse for instance, we’ll definitely be thinking of ways for it not to fail. Great video Hopper, resonated with me.

Beautiful edition, powerful words, strong visuals… I just love your channel Tatiana 👏🏼❤

[CrispyFrenFry]

Thank you so much for another wonderfully produced piece that inspires us all to further pursue our creative journeys.

‘Assume it will be a failure’ - I love this quote because I think, almost consciously, the fear of that failure and the path towards it is a strong, unintentional motivation in our work.

Thx T

Hot diggity. Loved your discussion of point 2 (not understanding everything you are creating) and how that also ties into point 4 (not giving the viewer too much info). Overall a treasure of insights.

[lalodominguez]

Hello, fantastic video, what book is the one that shows at 1:04? Thanks a ton

[abilashkp]

"Assume it will fail" Loved this idea, actually I am kind of a person always think about disaster in a positive way. So that I will get a room for development/fix the possible issues upfront.

[Morgan-oq]

I really enjoyed this video and learned much from it. I also wanted to comment on how incredibly well you seamlessly incorporated the “mbp commercial” into the video. Its was so innovative. Loved it!

[jdotreneephoto]

I seriously loved this video! Your organization and thoughts were inspiring and I totally needed to see this today. Thank you for creating and sharing!!

[itskylehale]

Terrific video. Really great wisdom you've shared here. Random question - but who manufactured your glasses?

I shoot film since i was a kid - 1984. Film is some kind of magic. You can use all kind of plugins for your phone, or PS, other photo editors - but it's *never* being the same, like the real deal. It's the haptics, the anticipation, the looks, the emotional impact - and many, many more things...that's why i do love film, and never would give up onto film, as long as i can buy my 35mm (135) rolls. #filmsnotdead.

Photons to pictures - not pixels to RAW files.

Another interesting mini documentary done here. Christopher Nolan knows how to use imagery to tell an intriguing story, to capture and hold the audience's attention. Although I found 'Inception' and 'Interstellar' too confusing (I still don't understand their endings). His 'Batman' trilogy and 'Dunkirk' films held my interest from beginning to end. Terrific fairy tale you did at 6:28, hope MPB appreciates how you represented their store. Most intriguing. I think Christopher Nolan needs a good film editor.
