The difference between David and Ryan is that Ryan isn't a storyteller. David always has these ideas and crazy concepts where Ryan is more intrigued by the technical aspects. It's interesting watching these guys have an interview being a long-time fan of Ryan, and of David before he even hit Hollywood. And as a film graduate it's easy to see why someone who knows a lot less about cameras and production ends up in Hollywood over someone who's dedicated their life to it. You need to know the in and outs of filmmaking, but to be successful you need to tell stories. Incredibly fresh and brilliant stories.

This is incredibly accurate in my opinion. As a person who is fascinated by the technical realm of film, I always find it difficult to get my mind focused on the story, or creation of story and it always seems that filmmakers with good ideas yet bad execution seem to get more attention than the reverse because story is where the content comes from. Although I do believe it is possible to be both, you just have to work extra hard on one or the other. The benefit of being technical as a director is just like what David mentions in the video, you can speak a little bit of the language of your departments that are helping you make a vision come to life. Its always helpful to know the process as a director so you know what you are asking and what it means to make a request from your team.

You need 1. A very strong vision that you maintain right to the end of production (with flexibility, of course) 2. The ability to execute with confidence and diligence, without choking.

@OffbeatWorlds5 жыл бұрын
I absolutely love David's perspective, coming from basically no budget and no experience to directing three feature films, one of which is a DC movie. Over the course of like 5 years! That's really incredible, and it's great he's so down to earth and open about sharing his experiences of being a director. He's talked about a lot of things that most directors never talk about.

I've been thinking of becoming a filmmaker by going to film school which is great because I'll get to meet people and learn more but honestly David F. Sandberg with his youtube channel "ponysmasher" help me with the decision. I went anxious for some days thinking about my future, but the way David explains everything, on how he makes his shorts, how he faced obstacles, tips and tricks, cheap alternatives made feel much more relaxed. He is the best and not pretentious, very down to earth.

I can finally hear a hint of Sandberg's Swedish accent in this. I've watched all his most recent videos on his channel and I couldn't detect it at all. It's amazing to me because he isn't a person who only spent his childhood in Sweden or whatever. I geek out about this stuff because I enjoy learning other languages, and someone who can just completely own a second language amazes me.

It kind of bothers me that certain people, because of clout, get to slap their name on a film they had nothing at all to do with creating or inspiring. James Wan is a fantastic and talented filmmaker, but his name appears almost first in the credits, not because he was creatively one of the influencers of this “Lights Out” phenomenon, but instead it was because he had the name. I know it’s the politics that you have to play to see your dream come to light...but it still feels intrusive and somehow in bad taste.
