Loki Filmmaking Secrets with Director Kate Herron

[@gominuke]

I mean have you EVER heard a director directly name and credit so many of the awesome bits to their team?

[@SoniaOReilly]

+

[@russelboy6181]

Yes

[@DinkyPixie]

Jack, I love the set up here - feeling like we are sitting at a table having a coffee with you both and just observing these wonderful exchanges and laid back vibe...you seem so comfortable here, great work.

[@BenStockdale]

You could almost say that this could be a podcast

[@maddocks97]

I was going to say this. They both just seem very relaxed, its nice to listen to.

[@MrMovieManMatt]

Jack, as someone who calls themselves an aspiring filmmaker and is still trying to gain some practical insight, this interview with Kate was so fucking refreshing, insightful, and inspiring. Thanks so much for uploading this! Can’t wait to see what Kate does next!

[@koellekind]

I don't (or didn't!) know anything about directing, but this was so fun and easy to watch! I watched in increments of about 15 minutes because of my busy schedule but kept coming back for it! Wonderful interview, thanks to both of you. :)

[@sonne5367]

i am fully in agreement with jacks take on the music, aside from the avengers theme, this score is the one in marvel stuff that is just so standalone iconic

[@liv27.]

This just feels so welcoming. Like I feel like everyone here should have coffees or beers or something. It’s just so warm and inviting, it’s wonderful.

[@wozzywick]

Thanks for doing this. It is very rare to see such an in-depth interview with a director

[@JackHoward]

Glad you enjoyed! Kate’s awesome :)

[@wozzywick]

@@JackHoward Yeah she is. I really agree with you about it seeming mystical, I'd love to be a screenwriter and/or director but its hard to know where to start.

[@acimand]

25:00 the discussion about the opening of episode 5 is why I keep coming back to this interview

[@BenM.Davies]

As a new filmmaker who's directing my second short in just over a week, this helped me a lot, it's crazy for me at the moment and I just needed this inspiration for me to keep going with it.

[@erinpennington19]

Good luck with the shoot! ✨

[@markusbrownfilm]

That's sick mate! Good luck!

[@tmuller9905]

Tbh Loki was a very nice show. The color palettes of the different sets, the characters, the music and the costume design. It was not only nice to watch because of the story, it also just looked and sounded good!

[@EzraAlexander]

Really an enjoyable and inspiring interview. Had no idea you shot this and just found it after finishing a season 1 rewatch. Really cool

[@MegHicks97]

This was an amazing time Jack, I was sat attentively for the full hour and loved the meandering chatter. Kate is so smart and so engaging to listen to, so thanks for facilitating that!

[@lottietalkie3142]

Ohhh I LOVED the shot she's talking about at 18:22, I really noticed that spinning shot and I thought it looked amazing and totally worked to reflect the inner turmoil and panic.

[@Natalanium]

This is so unbelievably cool, Kate seems like a wonderful person (and an amazing writer/director!)

[@Meme-lo7ru]

EVIL is what she is...stop praising a demon from Disney

[@liv27.]

I’ve been so excited for this ever since I found out that this was happening. You’re interview style and your videos in general are always incredibly insightful, interesting and amusing. Thank you for making this!

[@epicllamalover]

this is so fascinating to watch but also so laid back and casual which is really nice!

[@alannamcdonald]

this feels so intimate!! lovely lovely interview

[@thatguythen]

Kate thank you so much for making one of my favourite pieces of Marvel media to date!

[@leifhelland6313]

That Longtake in episode 3 was awesome!

[@Ryfangor]

Ah brilliant! I'm excited to check this out!

[@kd191]

I really enjoy the types of interviews you do with filmmakers, it's super relaxed and you cover some really great topics. It's exhausting listening to the same fan theories and speculation about easter eggs, so it's really refreshing hearing you discuss the process and what it takes to direct a project like this. Hope you get to do more director interviews in the future!!

[@emmaverretti]

so engaged the whole video! Kate is a SUPERSTAR! Thanks guys for this great interview

[@tarajay8754]

Great interview jack

[@deaf-tomcat]

i could listen to you two chat for eons

[@LolasChannelENJOY]

what a lovely interview!! I loved the way your questions were like the perfect mix of a fan perspective on the one hand and a filmmaker perspective on the other! I felt like you both were so enthusiastic that you boosted each other over the course of the show, leaves me with a huge smile on my face, great chemistry! well done!

[@EditsbyEl]

I just love getting to here filmmakers chat it's so inspiring.

[@florinize]

43:45 Jack describing himself 😂😂 Amazing interview!! Came to check it out and couldn’t stop watching 😅

[@enilec.]

Really really enjoyed this video. Can't wait to see what Kate does next

[@bigganzy]

Wow Jack! A fantastic video, so much more of a chat, rather than an interview, getting such brilliant insights into making something on this massive scale! Thank you for this!

[@ruthisaiah3857]

that brief fade to the Tenet poster when y'all were talking about the music made me laugh for some reason XD

[@isledon]

There are almost too many podcasts, but I would still kill for yours.

[@DylanDoFilm]

Perfect from start to finish 👏

[@misfitchris32]

Is that a Teletubby Loki 😂....well played!

[@elle1107]

Love this insight.

[@Bianxa21]

Thank you so much for having Katie on your channel. Loki was such an amazing show and shot so well it is so great to hear all her stories on production

[@stevenstewart4712]

Yes. More of this type of content!

[@halalgordonramsay4983]

oh my God! the before trilogy is one of my favorite films of all time and it makes so much sense now that episode 3 is one of my favorite as opposed to what everyone says!!!

[@summertyme5748]

The directing is fine in episode 3, but the plot points drove me loopy. Low battery on time pad. Time pad broken when it was supposed to be magically hidden. Please stay on the writers and don't let them ruin their own story with lazy writing.

[@demidemiou]

I really like this interview, so brilliant! It's so lovely to hear so many behind the scene and the works from the awesome team from this show. Looking forward to seeing what Kate is going to do next, she is such a lovely person with lots of passion for this show, she definitely did an awesome job!

[@berrybread7215]

oh this was lovely

[@elliesliferemix]

I’ve had to pause at the time loop bit just too much happiness in my heart from this incredible chat, Kate is so lovely! Thank you for such a wonderful video jack ☺️

[@haphazardpanda5364]

This was great!

[@jakobmogenson5150]

Such an awesome conversation, Loki has really helped reignite my love of filmmaking and storytelling. Can't wait to see where the series goes next!

[@jessg1069]

This was such a treat! I could listen to you guys talk about this show for hours. I'm glad you went into detail about the process. The amazing score by Natalie gave me chills, and so did the ep 6 opening.❤️

[@JakeGrantLetsPlay]

This might be a weird thing to add, but when you were talking about Owen Wilson, I remembered that I didn’t even know it was him for most of the series. A lot of this would be down to his vast skill as an actor but the character of mobius was so rich and well developed that I didn’t recognise a glaringly obvious megastar playing him.

[@jheel2119]

she is so cool! loved this conversation, would love more of this type of content

[@cecilyirvinecook]

This is such an enriching conversation to have witnessed. Thank you x

[@bethanygreenwood8259]

Loved this, would happily sit for another hour and listen to you both geek out!

[@annacamos7295]

What a nice interview! I really didn’t expect to watch the whole thing due to not having seen Loki, but after hearing Kate being so passionate I am so excited to see it and what she does next. Thank you Jack!

[@ghostface_tardis]

Listening to you and Kate talk about the industry and just anything is really inspiring. I share so much experiences with bullying.

[@itsHolmes]

oh my god Natalie is the egg thrower I didn't think I could love the music more but here we are

[@ruthisaiah3857]

Absolutely love Kate

[@alexavictorio]

THAT TENET SLIP IN JACKKKK

[@tallulahrich4660]

I know this probably sounds stupid but I never knew how much effort and thought went into things we take for granted as ‘aesthetic’ in film. I love that she was given the opportunity to thoroughly talk about her work (and actually do it justice) with someone that genuinely knew about the process without making it sound too technical. Her incredible talent is very much testament to her dedication to the details of source material but also her commitment to making something unique. I’m obsessed, hope to see her in more productions!

[@frazervarney]

Yeah, this makes me wanna work with Kate real bad.

[@2dtom406]

could have listened to HOURS more of this! TYSM for the insight

[@hiiiyyyaaaaaa]

I've watched this a few minutes at a time for the past few weeks, and I wish you spoke longer! Kate seems so chilled and relaxed around you, its so lovely :)

[@summertyme5748]

Really like to know the inside scoop on why she doesn’t want to come back for season 2, since everyone loves her work and she sounds like she had a blast.

[@Scimarad]

She's awesome and so is Natalie Holt.

[@markusbrownfilm]

Second everything DinkyPixie said and also... how has this not slain more views more quickly!? Massive value here and a delightful listen, love it Jack

[@baldwinfilms]

These are two of the most humble while simultaneously talented people working - we must protect them

[@SazBerry]

This was so much fun I could listen to ye talk for hours on end! slightly sad to hear Kate won't be returning to direct but completely understand her reasoning, can't wait for the next season to come out!!

[@captainrfdangerang]

Oh this has been so lovely. Thank you for this 💝

[@emma3498]

This is amazing to watch, I can't believe I missed it in my subscription box

[@teguhestro5654]

Wow, inspiring film maker channel....

[@LornaWallace]

This was so interesting, loved it!

[@billyspocketlife]

Listening to this was great because I've gone through that phase of thinking that I wanted to be an actor to wanting to be a comic book artist and now I've gone from graphic design to hopefully get into film production.

[@jaymay2081]

Please, please, please Kate Herron- be the new Doctor Who showrunner!!!

[@mickeleh]

Everything in Jack's life has prepared him to have this conversation-filmmaker to filmmaker-in the tradition of Truffaut with Hitchcock, Bogdanovich with Welles, Crowe with Wilder.

[@shannensmith4854]

I loved this! Can’t wait to follow her career and honestly hope one day to see Jack direct something like a Marvel tv series

[@OfficialTomMason]

Jack what a wonderful interview and I was wondering because I would love to interview her too but how did you contact her?

[@pete2097]

GREAT INTERVIEW but where is your review? :) I DEMAND YOUR THOUGHTS ON LOKI :)

[@Thecinesthetic]

She's so sweet and passionate

[@obiwanderouus]

i am now in love with both of you

[@JBugszy]

hey its the fiverr guy

[@thewintersoldier7]

She is really beautiful.

[@paul106i]

Hard to tell, but at the end of the convo it looks like that cup is still full? So engaged in conversation there was no time / thought to drink! Good vibes!

[@erikafernlund8191]

🥳👏❤

[@anastasiakaaad]

Боже, я восхищаюсь этой прекрасной девушкой!

[@thethirdcrouch]

why is it awful to live with family/parents if you have work and not living off

[@itsHolmes]

Jack, don't lie, you wanted to be James Bond.

[@jamiericcardo6698]

Mate, Kate is the one you should be learning from. You're talking down to her throughout this, need to lay off it a bit and let her speak more
