I've found a copy of this film and watched it. Very well done. And was also surprised this was his first feature film before Memento which I also loved. Add to the fact Nolan never went to film school? Wow. Perhaps after Interstellar which I have yet to see he might go back to the small film format just to get a breather from the big blockbusters before making another one. But who knows. Nolan clearly knows what films he wants to film and what stories to tell. More power to him.

Warlicmaster I think it depends on what subjects you are trying to learn, and how fast. Also, where you want to work plays a major role. A creative field (Art, Design, Music, even Programming) requires a portfolio, so a degree is not as important. I could probably learn as much about medicine as my primary physician, but without those letters next to my name, I wouldn't be making the money. I'm currently teaching myself Industrial Design. It would be nice to have a teacher with years of experience show me my mistakes within 2 minutes instead of spending hours, or even days, figuring out what I did wrong.

my favourite modern day director. also the way he talks about actually being present behind the lens of what he's filming a good film for me any how normally involves a psychological element of feeling like you're prying into someones life from a real medium like a camera and not just having very well set up shots that just explains the story ore cinematic objective. almost like a ghost was secretly watching them and that they carry on with there life oblivious to the camera not acting up to it just being in front of it as there life unfolds and i think someone who has the understanding from the simple end of the spectrum can then use more common ore professional camera techniques to emphasise certain parts of a film without it feeling like you're just watching a movie if you get my drift not a story made into a film but a story that happens to be filmed as if it would happen with ore without a medium to portray it i.e film.

Now you're looking for the secret... but you won't find it, because of course you're not really looking. You don't really want to know. You want to be fooled. But you wouldn't clap yet. Because making something disappear isn't enough; you have to bring it back. That's why every magic trick has a third act, the hardest part, the part we call "The Prestige"._

What I love most about this video is you have a young Christopher Nolan who is fresh off those low budget films that is telling you how he did it and hasn’t forgotten that process. I’m not saying he’s entirely forgotten it, but as the decades go by and he’s accomplishing masterpiece after masterpiece on extreme budgets then I’m sure there becomes a distance. I worked four days on “The Dark Knight Rises.” The set was so over the top and we shot in IMAX. I remember thinking to myself “I wonder if he could ever go back and make a film on a $30M or less budget. I’d like to see him do that at this stage in his career.

If you ask me, then the best directors we've seen, have never gone to filmschool: Nolan, Tarantino, James Cameron, George Miller, Stanley Kubrick there are far more, but this is just a few names. In fact many of those who did actually go to filmschool ended up dropping out of filmschool again. I think there seems to be a profound explanation that filmschools are too stricks and therefore eliminating the directors creative minds, while also not challeging them enough. I've seen 100 of horendous short films from filmschool students here in Denmark where I live and the worst thing about them is that they all look the same! Social realism dramas with no edge or desire to wauw the audience or be different, to stand out from the crowd. It's no wonder Denmark haven't produced a great director since Nicolas Winding Refn, who by the way, also never went to filmschool, he was enlisted at the Danish filmschool, but decided to try making a movie (Pusher) on his own. I don't know, but for some places, filmschool might be a disadvantage more than an advantage. At least my favorite directors didn't go to filmschool, so that's what I'll take from it - Learning by doing and don't watch never danish movies, cause they'll will bring your creativeness down as opposed to older ones who had stories to tell and desire to entertain. How's filmschool in the countries where the rest of you guys who watches and comments on this video lives??

Film school in Los Angeles is interesting. You never know what someone will come up with. Some people are complete amateurs and only want an "easy A" so they produce really cringe worthy crap, and others are semiprofessionals who have actual experience and budget. This one guy made a sci-fi time travel film for his final and he rented a 10,000 dollar camera (not counting cost of lenses, etc.) and had his actor friend from a popular T.V. show star in it. Our professor was quite impressed and insisted he send it out to some film festivals. But generally the student films here aren't quite that fancy, some are, but it's a mixed bag. Some have a budget, but most don't. It's true, I don't think film school is necessary though, the important thing is the passion and desire to learn and improve.

At some point YES Film School does constrain you to do things the way the teachers think it should be the best way to be done acording to them. But also we're talking about art, your growth depends only on you. In my case I didn't know anywone in film industry, I knew nothing about filmmaking at all, I was all alone, so I can tell you I really needed the Film School, the personal guidance to start making my way, I've known many people, and I've learn the basics, film theory, film history, semiotic studies, literature, I have watched a lot of movies, learned rules of filmmaking, rules, I believe: knowing the rules in order to break them. All this knowledge is knowledge you won't get in the outside but inside the academy, and as I said I knew no one, and in time you can put aside your teachers, and you will continue your journey on your own (that's the idea), out of the "three or four years of constrain" -if you will-. And let your creativity explode to the world, remember that there are some pretty good filmmakers who went to Film School: Steven Spielberg, Martin Scrocese, Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas,... and so on. Not going to Film School won't make you an automatic great filmmaker, but also going to it won't make you an automatic failure.

I'm glad that Nolan is An advocate of using film opposed to digital. Any movie shot with a digital camera is a disgrace to cinema and its sad that the use of film is decreasing. Film

R.K. McPherson The preference of shooting film or digital is entirely subjective, there is no right or wrong between either of them. I understand that film has that feel of magic to it as a physical process but to suggest that anything shot digital is a disgrace to cinema is completely unfair. I've never shot on film myself but I do know the implications that filmmakers face when shooting on it; the extortionate cost and waiting over 24 hours to see rushes being 2 examples. Digital cameras should and always will have a place in cinema, without them we may not have been exposed to some of the greatest films and directors that we have in recent years. Not to mention that digital now gives everybody the opportunity to make a short film on a shoestring budget and that's what filmmaking is about, it should give everybody a voice. If you aren't able to accept digital cameras then the same should surely apply to music also, and I'm willing to bet that the music you listen to isn't all exclusively through vinyl. Just something to consider.

Nolan makes really good films. He would make great films if the scripts had another pass before production began, because too often the plot becomes Swiss cheese once you start examining the finer details. But oh well you get what you want out of his films and his approach to special effects is one of the best today.

Great and very insightful! O.K.: what I thought: C. Nolan used a 16mm wind up Bolex for a lot of outdoor location shots. On IMDB it just states: Arriflex 16 BL - fantastic camera to this day, seen it in action for TV news gathering back in the day. That model is already a bit large and heavy for some of the scenes, not to mention still very expensive to buy or rent in top working condition (back in the late 1990s it still was prohibitively expensive), even though it's a (professional) model from 1968. Great insight about editing, lens choice, camera movement and the general approach to (budget) film making. I'm very happy that Nolan always supported and continues to support real film, but with common sense - not shying away from editing on video after telecine transfer. Not that I think film is always "better" than modern digital cinema (or DSLR) for cinematic story telling. I just happen to prefer it, but I fully respect people who prefer digital. I simply think people should have a choice - film and digital video are still very different in look, feel and approach. Thanks for uploading! Always loved Nolan's work - after this great video I have it 100% confirmed that Nolan is a true master film maker who earned it by building his career from the ground up.

Quentin spent years working in a Blockbuster-type video rental though, and learned what kind of movies people enjoyed based on how often they were rented. it's an alternative form of film education I'd say
