The Best Filmmaking Advice You’ll Ever Hear

[@moseslawi8953]

“Stop waiting for inspiration all the time grab that pen and paper, then that idea will come” needed this because I’m the opposite.

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

That’s so true! I constantly need to remind myself of this as well. Once you get a bit of movement, it really starts to snowball-the more you think about it, the more it grows. It’s such a wonderful feeling when you get in the zone and ideas just start flowing!

This video is fantastic! Question, what song did you use starting around Ava DuVernay part of the video? I think it is great and the 2 song links in description isn't this song. (Time stamp: 24:08) Thank you!

Fantastic video! I just wish you posted a title of who the director is inch clip briefly, as I know the vast majority of them, but found I had to scroll to the timeline once in a while to determine who it was.

@@NatesFilmTutorials What stood out for me is that no characters in our life are in 'White' or 'Black', rather every character is in 'Grey'. Situations decide if an individual has to reflect in White or Black.

@@NatesFilmTutorials what Tarantino said about how you only need to know how to express your vision the the right people, and how the actors and the rest of the crew will make it 3 dimensional. It hit me especially hard, as I know how to do everything on set, but I can't do it all together, and I'm often struggling to explain it.

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

@@baruchratz512 I can totally relate to that. I got so used to doing everything myself because, for the longest time, it was just me. When I started working with a crew, it was definitely an adjustment learning to delegate and direct others-especially when it felt quicker and easier to just do things myself. I'm still learning every day, but one thing that’s really helped is focusing on pre-production. I’ve learned to prepare as much as possible, clearly communicate my vision, and then trust my team to bring it to life. It takes trust and compromise, but when you give your crew a sense of ownership, they become more enthusiastic and engaged. And ultimately, that collective effort leads to a better end product. So don't be afraid to let go a little-it’s a learning process, but the result is worth it!

[@baruchratz512]

@@NatesFilmTutorials yeah, the collaborative effort is definitely an interesting thing we have in film that no other art has, and I also think it's even better, because if I don't let my dp try his ideas, I'll never know what could have been even better, even though I can dp myself, it's just a different perspective I'll never have because I'm different to my dp, or my actor, or gaffer, or whoever. (Well I currently have a soundman, a finished first draft which needs way too much work, and no actors, but eventually maybe on later projects (or on projects where I'm a cinematographer, which I do have, they're just not mine))

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

@@baruchratz512 100% agreed! One of the best parts of filmmaking is working with a director who encourages that creative freedom and gives you a sense of ownership. Even though my main roles are as a DP and editor, I’ve found it super valuable to really dive into the script and understand the characters and themes on a deeper level. That insight carries all the way through the process, even to the final stages of editing, and makes for a much smoother set. Plus, the collaboration brings out ideas you’d never think of on your own, which often leads to something even better than expected!

@@NatesFilmTutorialsI like when Quentin Tarantino says, “You think you have to do everything but you don’t” and how he says you don’t need to know how to knit in order for the costumes to be good
