Hi, my name is Nathan, I’m a filmmaker sharing what I learn in concise videos. Subscribe for my film tutorials, gear reviews, short films and behind the scenes content, every week on TH-cam. - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
Who is your favorite film director?
This is so amazing man!
@@CameronGallagher96 Appreciate it bro! I want to do more, maybe not a 30 minute version anytime soon, but I'm having fun with this and learning a lot.
christopher nolan is definitely my idol, but I find Tarantino incredibly inspiring
I agree! I also got my start in a similar fashion, so I can relate to Nolan. Tarantino’s enthusiasm is infectious… but I absolutely love George Lucas. Can’t say I’d be into film if it weren’t for him
Bergman overall, but many have made single better films than any of his
The thing Quintin Tarantino said at the end of the video really stuck with me: “If you truly love cinema, you can’t help but make a good movie.” This is coming from a guy who never went to film school and who never even considered being a director when he grew up. He was just a normal guy who worked at a local movie store and just loved movies.
🙌
....and is responsible for some of the most gritty, engaging dialogue in film history. He did train as an actor for 6 years, and no doubt that helped. I think in this game spending time in each role is a huge benefit.
He's lucky that his taste is well liked by a lot of people including me and he has a natural talent when it comes to dialogue
@@edcampion3998 I don't call that luck, I call that hard work, the courage to put yourself out there, and skills cultivated from devotion to the artform.
@@itzajdmting fair point
Nolans comment of making a short film being harder ive started to also believe is true, in that less frames means they all must matter and be good
Also Lucas, "making a movie is easy, finding something to make a movie about is the hard part" exactly how I feel
Orson welles is most genius of all though, god i love that man
100% Agreed!
Obviously
I couldn’t imagine Christopher Nolan filming corporate videos 😂
Filmmaking is a never-ending passion
thats the best thing about filmmaking.
@@pratikgoud1 I very much agree
“The Job of a director is to discover in the actor something more than he knew he had”
-Orson Welles
Chills.
the one and only secret is THE BUDGET! that's all, no extra secrets
What Mark Duplass said is possibly the best advice you’ll ever hear as an Independent Filmmaker in this age.
It sure is. Gets me fired up to film something each time!
Yeah im ngl that shit got to me more than anything else in this vid. If the calvary aint comin for him its never comin for me😂 but thats nice to know early rather than wait around for them to show up
PT Andersen is by FAR the genius here.
Never heard of him or anything he's done. What he said was mostly about persisting in getting work, not how to direct, yet he has the most time on this video. He sounds more dejected than talented.
@@aliensoup2420 Recommend "Paddleton" and "Blue Jay". Both films were written by him.
"the thing that deeply moves ne about Cinema is seeing 200 people in the mud under the rain trying to create poetry together" ♥️ Denis Villeneuve
As someone who is just starting to get into filmmaking I found this really inspirational, thanks for creating this!
Thanks for the kind words! Wish you the best in your filmmaking journey!
Martin Scorsese and Ridley Scott's advice were the best and they're applicable to game development also.
First just look, only pay attention to the picture, then close your eyes and just listen to how nice the movie/game sounds.
Two separate disciplines, patience or stamina and required to get both right.
Steven Spielberg's advice to study old movies is also good, or paintings.
Fantastic observation
Literally started crying halfway through the video. Starting a TH-cam channel soon and this was really inspiring, was really scared but this really makes me want to break down the walls I've created for myself
👏You’ve got this! Thank you for sharing!
Possibly the best 30mins of filmmaking advice I've witnessed. Great work putting this together. Subscribed!!!👍
Appreciate the kinds words! If I were to make a follow up video who would you like to see in it?
@@NatesFilmTutorials Depends on the subject matter? A tidy follow up would be to focus on Cinematographers in the business of filmmaking (Roger Deakins) and others or Editors like Sally Menke. Directors get a lot of credit, but there are so many contributors that also need to get a mention!!!
Thanks! I have been compiling some clips for cinematography. But wondering if I should make one dedicated to Deakins. I think one reason why this video does well is because people recognize these names and they have some authority.
The same just in different genres
@@NatesFilmTutorials maybe but what I like about this video is the different voices. lynch, dupplass, herzog, lucas, Tarantino and etc.
Put Deakins front and center but have other cinematographers. Then find clips of their movies. People might not know their names but theyll know their work.
This was brilliant! I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. Every director had great advice. I'm learning that we tend to treat filmmaking as an art that should be taken on when inspiration hits, when it's actually a devout practice that requires the commitment of building a career. Thank you for this. ❤🙏
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I learned a bunch making it! So much good advice it was a challenge fitting it into 30 minutes!
Thank you for putting this together. I usually never comment on videos but this deserves it. Easily the best compilation of filmmaking advice. Well done
This warms my heart! Thanks for the kind words!
Getting the message or visual out there through the actual medium itself is what drives me as I know from an early age when I worked on a radio commercial (30’s) and it aired locally for one whole month. This taught me the value of the medium and the unlimited potential of what I could accomplish.
The commercial was 30 seconds and it was for a local business who liked it. I was 13 years old when I did this which ultimately planted the seeds. A radio producer tweaked it on my last day (Life Skills Week) and cleaned it up but kept it as I created it.
Just got off the VRA session. This is not my niche, (editing) BUT love behind the scenes of stuff I know nothing about. This is terrific. Documentary level. AND NO HOOK! THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for checking my channel out!
Even though there’s not a traditional “hook” I was still conscious on the question that was being asked of James Cameron and his epic response that set the tone for the rest of the video.
Happy you got value!
I found this totally inspiring, about to solo shoot my second doc over 3 days tomorrow and there were so many great tips and ideas for getting my mindset right.. thank you 🙏🏽
Thank you for putting this together. I didn't realize it was going to be so inspirational at the end! ❤
Appreciate the kind words Ian! I've learned a ton making this!
THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES THANK YOU
I am tired, I lost my way. I don't know where I am and where I can be. But this is "HOPE".
Hope to do it, Hope that I can do it.
It never dies in you. Thank you for giving hope to me in my middle age.
Harvey's advice to Quentin, ended up being Quentin's advice to all of us. He's said this almost 10 years ago and I've never forgot.
Love it!
Makes me want to be a director!
That was great! Thank you very much.
Love this, i came here wanting to learn and im leaving really inspired. Thank you for this.
So happy to hear!
kudos to your effort!!
Hope to be among these legends 💖
Very much needed this thank you
Absolutely brilliant. Making a short film next month after a year away and needed this inspiration! Thank you!
Love it! Thanks for sharing!
Never been this attentive for 30mins. Thanks for this compilation. It will stay with me.
Thanks for the kind words, deeply appreciate it! I plan on making more!
Amazing video. Thank you for putting this together. Truly inspiring
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for this ❤An immense amount of knowledge and informations.
Outstanding work dude!
Appreciate it Jake!
This was so inspiring. Thank you for putting it together. It should be referred to again and again every time we feel down and uninspired.
I want all my crew to watch this before I start a project haha, I will be here to notify you randomly
love this. so inspiring. thank you for creating it.
Appreciate it Darren! More to come!
I have tears in my eyes watching this!! I wish I would have started earlier!
Mark duplass’ part at the end is from a really good seminar or idk what else you would call it but a really good speech def worth a watch it’s like an hour long too so they couldn’t fit all the good advice he gave in this video.
This is one of the greatest TH-cam video ever! ❣️
What a great compilation. Easy sub.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Paul Thomas Andersons advice hit me like a freight train.. That is the confidence I needed!! Holy shit.
Go get em!
This was extremely intense, realistic and inspirational
Appreciate the kind words!
Inspiring video with a great edit. You made 30 mins fly by. Well done my friend!
Appreciate it Chad! Hope to make more!
Thank you, that really helped.
I LOVED THIS! ESPECIALLY THE ENDING!!
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it. Trying to put together a similar video on cinematography!
Thanks, Nate. Nicely done.
Appreciate the kind words!
Incredible stuff here!
Only because your in it!
This video has inspired me so many times over the last few months-- thanks man
That’s awesome! Glad I could help!
Mark Duplass said the truest thing in this video from a creative and business of making movies aspect.
I am about to make my first film, a documentary, and this has me ready to run through walls to make it. Thank you for making this.
Have fun!
Christ this is the coolest thing I saw all day....wow...thx y....
Loved this! Shout out to all the directors out there! 😤 🎥 🎬
🙌
Wow! I thank you from the buttom of my heart for this! It is something that I somehow needed. Lots of love
You are so welcome
this is so insightful. thank you for the inspiring vids
Appreciate the kind words Danny! If I were to make a follow up video which topic or people would you like to see?
@@NatesFilmTutorials maybe something on the way film influences the zeitgeist
I'm making a short flim next month and this is truly what I needed. Hopefully I'll present all my art and passion in that flim, and I'm sure the flim gonna turn out good.
I'm feeling alot motivated now.
You got this!
Great video! Really inspiring to all us beginning filmmakers
Appreciate the kind words! Hope to make a follow up video soon!
This video saved my life. Thanks
thanks Nate, great piece.
Appreciate it! Who is your favorite director?
@@NatesFilmTutorials Hitchcock, though i'm aware that's a bit old school.
@@ImpliedMusic Classic! I was going to add him in to this video, but he got cut out, might have to make a video dedicated to him
This is a best filmmaking advice ...thank you so much
You're very welcome! More to come!
Thanks for the edit. 🫶🏻
Incredible video ❤
Great content!
Yup! Thx for the review!
You bet!
"" Direct anything and You Are a Director " " Once you are a Director, then the only difference in projects is the Budget and Terms You. The Director Negotiatiate"
WOW !!! Thank you.
Crush it!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just.. Thank you for this....
I love this video because it keeps me a state of positive thinking. Im reminded to keep working and keep the faith. Im legally blind and I must keep going
Mark Duplass spoke some words of wisdom fr... as a an independent short filmmaker with a passion for all things cinema, it feels a lot of the time like i'm supposed to be waiting for things to happen for me, like i'm waiting for someone to come along and make me successful, but hearing him speak about how the cavalry isn't coming, you are the cavalry, confirmed what i already knew to be true. work hard and Do it yourself.
🔥 You got this!
I knew working on film is the thing on want to do with the rest of my life because it’s the one work that I would do for free and always get excited about. I’m so in love I do it in my free time as much as I can, I come back from a film set just to do the pre production for the next film I have in the works
Love that! For me being on set is such a magical environment, nothing else quite matches it.
Keep it up!
Can’t wait for Ep2 my new fav show
Ridley Scott: If you're doing 30-40 takes you don't know what you're doing
*laughs in Stanley Kubrick*
I love the juxtaposition, neither are wrong, but one is certainly more practical! Lol
@@NatesFilmTutorials exactly! If this wonderful compilation taught me anything, there's a hundred ways to make great films
Amazing collect of clips
Thank you RW
Great video!
Thank you!
This is so good! Mahalo.
This is very well made :)
Appreciate it Frederick!
This is amazing and must have taken a long time..❤
It did, but I’m so glad people have seen it and are inspired!
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my TH-cam channel 6 months ago about self development. Now I have 427 subs and > 100 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessonsÀ we that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.
absolutely brilliant
Thank you for this video
You are welcome! Another one is one the way!
Nice job!
Thank you!🥺❤️😊
This helps a lot. Thanks. 👍
Glad to hear it!
I am currently doing some software shitty diploma course right after finishing high school (class 12th). I had decided to be a filmmaker two years ago but couldnt tell my parents because I was scared. After watchiing this video, am fnally gonna go tell them with full confidence. Wish me luck !
What an inspiring piece
Appreciate it!
Man Thank You for this!
You are welcome! If I made a follow up video who would you like to see in it?
Yes! Same thing I tell fellow composers- How do I become a Composer? Write Music! 🙂
I don't why I chose to become something that i am not regretting till now but at same time not satisfied with it. But as a kid i always liked watching film. The pure Magic of it. Filmmaking will always have my heart and at some point in life will surely DO SOMETHING. Possibly the best 30minutes of my life invested in something which woke something which is inside me for a long time.
Guilermo Del Toros advise is spot on...
I’m getting ready to paint my shed a new color. A better color. The best color, you may think. This really helped me. Chartreuse. Chartreuse is what I’m going with. I don’t usually leave comments, but this spoke to me.
Like a samurai entering the village… Chartreuse.
Wonderful!
Thank you this was indeed excellent information and inspiring. I have two film production I have been part of 13months on Amazon and the boy who saw Christ on Tubi but I’m debuting as director in February on my first feature film and this was a moment of checking in for me outside of myself and my round table. There are moments you wonder am I doing this right and you have to stand strong and believe that you are. Then a segment like this comes along and at that point you know you are doing it right. Like a moment of confirmation. Thank you.
Love it, thank you sharing!
Thanks for this🎉
Glad you enjoyed it Carmen! If I were to make a follow up video on this style, what would you like to see next?
Esto si que fue la inspiracion de mi vida, es hermoso ver que estos grandes Directores de Cine me motivan de cierta manera que, con solo ello, estaria dispuesto a dar mi vida por el cine. Si ellos pudieron, Entonces yo tambien podre hacerlo. So. i'll raise up my forehead and i'll get ahead. I know i will make it.
15:26 Deakins spotted!
great edit
Appreciate it Ross!
Mark Duplass is an absolute inspiration. Okay, he'll never make Brazil or The Hudsucker Proxy, but he sure speaks sense.
Wonderfull. Thanks
Wow.
Cheers Mate!!!
Thanks Manuel
I love what Greta said. Because that's the fun part! Seeing the characters you wrote come alive and go rouge lol it's like live sims.
Love this!
Thanks Bryan!
All my faves are in this 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you
5:37 You tell 'em, GUILLERMO! *fist pump*
BRAVO!!!
the last two minutes were so inspiring! (had to stop mid video and watched the last 10 minutes 9 hrs later)
Thank you! I’m glad you got some good takeaways!
👌Thanks for sharing
Thanks Joanna!
