18 years of acting and trying to master my craft... not a single coach of mine or instructor has been able to help me understand the differences between these folks' approach to acting. I wish I could've had this video years ago! Everything just clicked, and all in 15 mins! THANK YOU!
I don't think this video comparing various schools of acting and methods will actually make a difference in an actor's results. It's the "doing" not the "observing" that helps actors become authentic in creating characters- that and talent. Look at who runs acting schools. How many films or tv shows have they starred in? Plays, .. maybe.
These StudioBinder uploads give an understanding on a multitude of aspects regarding filmmaking, without having to deep dive into them. They give you just enough to remove all mystery and to keep you intrigued and curious. It makes you want to source more information and do your own research.
Thanks! It's true that to keep putting out a video every week, we can't spend too much time on them. We highly encourage people to learn more about these topics from different sources.
I agree! Just be careful because this channel loves to give names to things and then pretend like it's the official term and it can get confusing. For example, in their video about satire they called a certain type of satire "Machiavellian satire", so I spent time looking up "Machiavellian satire" as if it was a thing and got absolutely nowhere haha. They called it that because Machiavelli was chaotic. So they just made up the term as a metaphor, it worked in context but that's all. I'm saying that because I doubt that method acting is officially classified by these 3 types and called by these names. But it is great information with all of that set aside
@@theleylachykulina Regarding Hugh's acting in the movie...Reynolds posted it as 'The Brando Method', i.e., method acting... Regardless of this, was in utter anticipation of this video from Studiobinder for a long time...
4:03 @Studiobinder I really appreciate you guys giving Dilip Kumar his due. The man was such a great method actor, that even the great Satyajit Ray had called him "The Ultimate Method Actor". It is something even Indian people are not aware of.
They are all important tools! Every actor has their own preferences and method, and not every script or play, character does through the same process. I love what I do.
Brando yelling "Stella!" when the video is about to talk about Adler's method is genius. As is showing Leto when pointing out you don't need to be menace on set while staying in character...
In my opinion the best video StudioBinder has yet made. Efficient, clear, and full of great examples. I know my drama professors would have loved to have access to this resource. Thank you very much
@@StudioBinder I don't know if it's "the best" - one of many "bests" because like music, you can't always have just one favorite or "best" song. Sometimes you need an entire album to digest
Everyone thinks that method acting is “not breaking character” or “living as the character”. Method acting, for the most part, requires that you inform the characters emotional state with something that you have actually experienced in life, to root yourself in the reality of the play/film and trigger a real emotional and physical response. Let’s say you’re playing a scene where you get fired, instead of just pretending you are being fired you recall a real memory of being fired and use that experience to help elicit the real feelings of that but frame it within context of the scene. Another major aspect of method acting is being so fully engaged with the reality of the scene that your subconscious is almost tricked into thinking it is real so it requires less “acting” and more just “living” the reality of the story. There are many techniques employed by different teachers but all with the same goal of living as authentically as possible and that character in those circumstances. This had lead to many people choosing to anchor their character to certain physical, vocal and behavioural traits and in order to more easily access them when required, stay in character for periods of time, but it’s not the central thing that defines method acting
The scene from "The Return of the King," where Sam carries Frodo up Mount Doom, moves me to tears every single time I watch it. The acting is brilliant. I can feel the emotion coming from Sams character.
It got a weeeeeee bit too close to camp. "I can't carry The Ring up the mountain for you, but I can carry you!" (Music crescendo) ... and a moment later ... "I can't throw in The Ring for you, but I can throw you in!" (Music crescendo) (The HISHE segment we haven't seen yet.)
Very happy to see mammooty in the list, you must analyse Indian legendary actors like Kamal Hassan, Mammooty, Amitab Bachan, Naseerudheen Shah, Irfan Khan etc..
Bollywood isn't the only game in town when it comes to Indian cinema! We've got 22 official languages in India, and each one is producing some amazing movies every year. If you look at the Indian National Awards, you'll see that Malayalam, Bengali, Marathi, Kannada, and Tamil films are actually winning more awards than Hindi ones! The movie RRR which you analysed for action sequence was a Telugu movie, And fun fact: our parallel cinema is heavily influenced by global movements like Italian Neorealism and French New Wave. Expecting more Indian movie content in future, and I love you videos so much❤️
Thank you! I’ve been trying to figure out what the differences between Stella, Meisner, and Strasberg were and you laid it out so succinctly. Appreciate yer vids!
was going to start this thread if no one else did XD def found it amusing that a studio binder vid on the subject came out not long after his i did enjoy all the clips of actor interviews in this video to further deepen the subject
We will also recommend Thomas' video. It's really good and more in-depth. There must've been something in the air for both of us to do videos on method acting!
Both are excellent videos but with different approaches. * Studio Binder takes a film history class instruction format with summaries of the different “method” schools based on Stanislavsky contrasting Strasberg, Adler and Meisner. It’s like hearing a lecture in film school. The SB video strives for clarity identifying Method Acting and defining it. * Thomas Flight uses a story format to try to explain how acting became the total commitment approach of DeNiro and Daniel Day-Lewis. There is depth about classic stage acting / Golden era Hollywood acting, contrasting that with the sources of the “system” of Stanislavsky which led to the “method” and how that seems to have morphed into the total commitment style of DeNiro with an emphasis on influences from Stanislavsky and Adler. Flight concludes that how exactly certain extremely committed acting styles emerged isn’t completely clear ending with “There Is No System”.
We really need to appreciate how underrated Andy Serkis is when it comes to method acting, if you think I am joking just watch his acting in LOTR and Planet of the apes trilogy, it's motion capture but thankfully due to improvement of technology, we can even capture the expressions and Andy Serkis is no exception to perfect method acting.
Dear @StudioBinder, I think there are several inaccuracies in your discussion of Stanislavsky’s method. At 03:37, you mention that Stanislavsky developed his system in the 1930s. However, this is incorrect. While his book “An Actor’s Work” was published in 1938, the system itself was developed much earlier, between 1900 and 1910, and he continued to refine it until his death. This timeline is crucial as it underpins the disagreements between Stella Adler and Lee Strasberg. Strasberg based his method on the teachings of Stanislavsky’s early students, who worked with Stanislavski during the initial development of his system. In contrast, Adler had personal interactions with Stanislavsky in France, where he clarified her disputes with Strasberg. Stanislavsky explained to her that he had evolved his system and moved away from some of its initial principles, including the significant influence of affective memory on an actor’s performance. Additionally, I believe the video misinterprets Stanislavsky’s “Method of Physical Action” at 03:41. This method does not refer to literal physical movements, such as the movements of arms, legs, or facial expressions. Instead, it focuses on active actions, such as: to bully, to seduce, to intimidate, to impress, to provoke, to laughter, to hurt, etc. Therefore, the example of Joaquin Phoenix dancing in the video is not entirely accurate and may mislead viewers.
Studiobinder man its a fuckingg studioobinderrrrrr GENIUSSSS AS ALWAYSSS. Learnt cinematography direction subtext thangs and so on from this channel and now thisss mymyy fuckingg god what a mentor you guys ve been to mee
Hey StudioBinder, could you make a video on how to actually get into the Film Indistury? Explaining on things like how to get a producer or manager to look at your script and how to get it to big studios like Netflix, Disney, Prime Video, Apple TV+ and more. And also how you'd go about if you wanted to have a Producer/Manager/Someone official get your script made but if YOU YOURSELF wanted to be the director - like what type of things you'd have to do for that.
Fantastic! This is one of the most accurate videos on TH-cam about the Method I have ever watched. It's crazy to think decades after, Method is still misunderstood by many which is made worse by the constant misuse of the Hollywood entertainment media. If you want to know more about the Method, I suggest you read The Method: How the 20th Century Learned How to Act by Isaac Butler. It's a fun and interesting read. :D
Sanford Meisner’s technique of acting has nothing to do with Method Acting lol. However Lee and Stella yes, it’s different ways of approaching Stanislavsky’s Method. A true actor is someone who is able to be out of his character while off stage. Actors who stay their characters even after the stage are all the ways just fools.
This is great! Someone once asked me, "Is _____ a method actor?" I said, "Well, the vast majority of actors these days are, to SOME degree, method actors, in one form or another, but what do you think method acting is?" They answered with all the old cliches. Personally I will always believe that the Strasberg people and the Meisner people need each other more than they realize.
Acting is not mathematics and i know both of them very well Acting is certainly an internal and research oriented mechanism which develops more with outside exposure with life , research and certainly luck
For me Sanford's method acting is the hardest, you can study the internal (Strasberg) and external (Adler) of a character but achieving the point where you live and behave like you character is something else. Good example is how Heath Ledger was so unpredictalbe in Joker and how he was affected by his character.
Studio Binder you have been a great Chanell to go to if I need information I am working on a Chanell with my dad and your videos have helped me a ton I hope that you continue to make good videos like this.
This is such an amazing video. Love how you broke down each category. I'm currently reading a book by Uta Hagen, I'm sure you have heard of her. And yep, my head went straight to Jared Leto at 'menace on set'.
as a method practitioner from its origin Russia i am really glad you mentioned Stanislavsky. But what about Michael Chekhov, who actually transformed Stanislavsky's studies and brought it to Hollywood?)
That's the part a few actors have revealed by how they approach their craft. When I saw the title of this video, I knew it wasn't going to be the esoteric explanation for method acting. This is the exoteric version.
Hey team studio binder.....we are glad that u mentioned indian cinema icon actors and kamal hassan in particular but you should take sivaji in this list before kamal sir he is been the actor's actor in our tamil industry and many others in india... he is a well renound actor in dialogue phase of films in India.....he has done nine rolls in a film he can deliver a dialogue of pages in tamil without ant prompter....he got his recognition in here. But it'll be unfair not to mention him while u make video of method acting while referring indian actorssss
i was just talking about my friends about this cause its suchh a misconception!! i was defending most method actors cause i noticed a pattern with that and my favourites were even under Lee Strasberg
It's true, he really made a splash with that performance. He's not the only actor to go to extremes but it is a good, recent example to get the point across quickly.
What do you think about this mix? Chubbuck, nicknamed the “celebrity whisperer,” is one of the most sought-after acting coaches. She made Brad Pitt an icon after discovering him on a street corner working as a fast-food promoter dressed in a chicken suit. Her technique seeks to uncover underlying negative feelings and use those to reach the desired goal. Her book The Power of the Actor outlines a 12-step acting technique: overall objective, scene objective, obstacles, substitution, inner objects, beats and actions, the moment before, place and the fourth wall, doings, inner monologue, previous circumstances, and let it go.
I joke that I'm a "method writer." I also employ a lot of filmography techniques when constructing a scene on paper. Being both a skilled writer and skilled photographer, it feels like a sort of artistic bilingualism.
Daniel Day Lewis doesn't have many credits compared to other actors of his status. I've got to believe that his style takes quite a toll on the emotions. Probably not easy to do it very often.
Indian actors literally focus on every emotion and drama is the priority in Indian cinema, They use their full potential to convince the audience with the emotions of their characters
When ever i forget my homework at home, and our teacher mr.chaada stares me like a hungry tiger stares to a deer. Noone is beating me in method acting.

Brando Incorporated all three methods of acting that's why he was such a unique actor.

The Three Musketeers of Method Acting:💯💯💯
-Lee Strasberg (Psychological)
-Stella Adler (Sociological)
-Sanford Meisner (Behavioral)
That's a fun analogy but since they didn't get along too well, they'd make a terrible team! Haha.
Sanford Meisner’s technique of acting has nothing to do with Method Acting lol. However Lee and Stella yes, it’s different ways of approaching Stanislavsky’s Method. A true actor is someone who is able to be out of his character while off stage. Actors who stay their characters even after the stage are all the ways just fools.
My Favorite Method Acting :
-Daniel Day-Lewis
-Marlon Brando
-Katharine Hepburn
-Christian Bale
-Heath Ledger
-Jack Nicholson
-Meryl Streep
-Hilary Swank
-Jane Fonda
-Dustin Hoffman
-Adrien Brody
-Robert De Niro
-Al Pacino
And many more.

It's true, he really made a splash with that performance. He's not the only actor to go to extremes but it is a good, recent example to get the point across quickly.
@@footlong7980 can't remember, but around the last minute or so. It's just a quick flash
8:44 was a funny touch with the "Stella" line, props to the editor
Thank you for this video! It's very interesting and explained with such simplicity to understand
What do you think about this mix?
Chubbuck, nicknamed the “celebrity whisperer,” is one of the most sought-after acting coaches. She made Brad Pitt an icon after discovering him on a street corner working as a fast-food promoter dressed in a chicken suit. Her technique seeks to uncover underlying negative feelings and use those to reach the desired goal.
Her book The Power of the Actor outlines a 12-step acting technique: overall objective, scene objective, obstacles, substitution, inner objects, beats and actions, the moment before, place and the fourth wall, doings, inner monologue, previous circumstances, and let it go.
She would also be a fascinating study!
4:11 hell yeah Mammootty and Kamal Haasan, monsters of acting ❤
It will be noice to see the some scens & how it was crafted what guy was thinking while portraying
Perfect. Great video sir.
method acting is a general term for types of acting methods that have the objective of bringing realism to a scene.
Thank you! This was an excellent breakdown! ✨
I joke that I'm a "method writer." I also employ a lot of filmography techniques when constructing a scene on paper. Being both a skilled writer and skilled photographer, it feels like a sort of artistic bilingualism.
Daniel Day Lewis doesn't have many credits compared to other actors of his status. I've got to believe that his style takes quite a toll on the emotions. Probably not easy to do it very often.
He seems like a relatively adjusted guy in interviews but, yeah, you're probably right.
Thank you for this and the narration as always!❤
0:38 what a cinematic frame. God Dustin ❤
My favorite film school enlightens me again
Seeing an example of Indian Cinema is just wow😭🫶🏼
Where ?
Indian actors literally focus on every emotion and drama is the priority in Indian cinema, They use their full potential to convince the audience with the emotions of their characters
You should see work of Kannada actor Anant Nag..he s a method àctor..he s so natural that we never felt he s acting..
Can you make a brief video on script writing? Or if it is there, kindly suggest.
GREAT !!

Dilip Kumar, the ultimate method Actor ❤

When ever i forget my homework at home, and our teacher mr.chaada stares me like a hungry tiger stares to a deer.

Wow incredible film school material! very enlightening! but sad no clip example from my favorite method actor Rod Steiger (the Pawnbroker) and Monty Clift (Place in the Sun, Judgement at Nuremberg), too much Robert downey Jr. .😑.Grace kelly on Rear Window so random, i didn't notice it's method acting lol
reminded of course of the Laurence Olivier and Dustin Hoffman story 🙂 😉
That naman guy on indias got latent did one of the best acting 🔥💯

Interestingly similar to Thomas Flight's video the other week
Same thought.
i thought of it immediately too
Oh no..now I have to watch Thomas Flights video. This comment is going to be edited I can feel it..
@@wetsponge175 His video was really good tho, the deep dive was actually really solid
@@MENIAC404I'm watching now, but honestly anybody who refers to Wikipedia as a real source is losing credibility in my opinion. That's where I stopped the video.
