This video induced wonder. It makes me so hopeful, like I can do this, I can be like them one day. It gives me the hope to keep writing, keep filming, keep dreaming. Thank you so much for this video. These filmmakers inspire me. To me they are legends, geniuses.
This is good. I like Akira Kurosawa's great advice to aspiring filmmakers in another video. (probably on the sidebar) It's nice to have a more sustained conversational thought.
okay wow.. paraphrasing the last speech by Steven Spielberg: listen to that whisper and that's what you will do for the rest of your life and from there everyone around you will benefit from what you make.. it just made me go wow like wow...
The best advice is get a digital camera and start making films. Find a story and actors who will be in the film for free and do it! Start making films and if they are any good or interesting, they will find an audience. If they don’t, then your not meant to be a Filmmaker. James Cameron has the best advice! Shoot a film with Actors who volunteer and put your name on it. Directed by Fill in the Blank! Do not waste your time with Film courses or trying to sell a screenplay or getting a meeting with potential Weinstein’s. Those are very bad ideas. Begging anybody in an office with a lounge chair to become a director is also a bad idea setting you up for exploitation. Good luck! Also, try to find an original and interesting story to tell if you can. If you can’t, then it wasn’t meant to be.
Oh my god, I always had this TV in my mind😂 If you respect the TV as your personal vision and don't say "it's impossible to create this", you can create some amazing movies. All of my biggest and best projects came from that :)
Don't know if you will see this comment. But never ever give up. There is gonna be times in your life, where you think it's all over. You just can't listen to the nay sayers, never quit, never give up. Follow your dreams.
Hate those "read books" advices (Tarantino says the same). I started my filmmaker's career, and I just feed myself with other movies, video games, podcasts about writing. We're a new generation (I'm 33), and we learn as much by watching a Nolan's movie than reading a vintage thriller.
@@namratakamble5465 I think what he meant was to be widely read on all sorts of subjects, so that you're world is opened up and you will become a more interesting filmmaker in the process.
If you only get inspiration from other movies then you will never do something different. Reading is integral in finding originality and inspiration whether that be from fiction or fact. Reading also strengthens your understanding of character and story. That's where film starts and ends with story. Reading a lot helps learn the music and rhythm of what story truly is and it also strengthens your minds eye and imagination. I believe this to be very important in creating art.
@@EthanTAllison Umm... One whole group of filmmakers made films just due to their sheer love of Cinema. The group was the critics of the Cahiers du Cinéma. The people, went on to be literal masters of their craft. The period was Nouvelle Vague and the people were Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut, Éric Rohmer, Claude Chabrol, Agnès Varda, Jacques Demy, Jacques Rivette, Alain Resnais, Louis Malle, Chris Marker to name some.
Werner Herzog, David Lynch, Martin Scorsese, James Cameron, Francis Ford Coppola, Alfred Hitchcock, Steven Spielberg, Orson Welles, J. J. Abrams, in that order.
***** exceptions are always there. Everything contributes in the making of a great film. Script, acting, direction, music. But before everything comes the script.
So your argument has collapsed into saying a script comes first, which of course chronologically it does. However, film is a director's medium. A great director can make a mediocre script into a great movie. A mediocre director will make a mediocre movie even if equipped with a great script. I'm a screenwriter, and I certainly think scripts are important, but they don't determine the outcome. Certainly not to the point where you can say 'it's all about a great script'.
WalterLiddy I agree with your views. Its wrong to say its all about a great script. A great director can make a great movie even with an average script. On the other hand a mediocre director can ruin a great script. Direction matters more than screenwriting in making a great movie.
You can't make a great film without good actors, everything is important. If the music sucks the film quality goes downward, everything in a film is important, acting, sound, script, directing, quality, not only script, everything is important.
I would have truly wished for this video to have existed without the fucking inspirational sound track running behind. With masters like them speaking truly about why they do this for a living, anyone who would seek an inspiration out of their words would get the damn thing. This fucking track is just simply distracting. It is even more annoying because everything about this video is just made so damn well. The cuts, etc. But the damn fucking music. Oh God!
Philosophy, history, sci-fi, poetry, novels, biographies, newspapers, street signs, folklore, op-eds, children's stories, fables... Herzog is the kind of person to never state what you should read for your own growth, but without reading, there is no link between cinema and your understanding of it. Invest yourself in culture, knowledge, and understanding. Practice methodologies; be critical of others (not condescending), especially to yourself. Forge past boundaries, create new paths, ignore the status-quo, learn from your own mistakes before others do. Truly a fascinating individual, Werner is.

"Drama is life with the dull bits cut out." Genius.
Say that to Gus Van Sant!
Just reading "in to woods", chapter 9- has same quote. Co incident
The most important advice: use constant piano music on background.
ihan sama that shit is SOOOOOOO annoying.
Totally agree! It's ashame low I.Q people can't feel the passion or can't focus on more then one thing at once 😁
irony will not save you
😂😂
Hahahaha
Legend has it that Mr Herzog is still saying "Read. Read. Read. Read. Read..."
He's probably plagued by the ghost of Mr. Klaus Kinski.
What he talk about read? Novels? Cinema books? Or read films itself?
@@jmdi2703 You can read novels, some people like myself tend to read cinema. But I guess he meant read books on and about filmmaking and various parts of it. If you want, I can recommend some.

yes
Same!
Jjj
I can't discard this comment helo me
Hf
Kurosawa said the same thing about reading books
That's what I've been doing
And writing
Orson Welles just has a different charm in the way he presents himself. Badass
He is an actor as much as a filmmaker.
EWWWWWWWWW
hahahahahahahahahaha
the child in me just cried.
why the hell do you have a child in you? you're disgusting
The me in me just started balling my eyes out
Becommimg a real filmmaker is realising that the music is manipulative
Exactly what i was thinking 😂
Say that to no country for old men

Once you see JJ Abrams nose, you can't unsee it.
I want to be a film maker and I really want to get into the cinematography, like I want to make sure my visuals say more than the words
I also Want To be a Filmmaker
@Inge Fossen Cinematography is still cinematography, regardless of being during or after shooting.
Years im fighting to come over my fears and shame to tell my first story in a film , this vid helps a lot, thanks
That's why the old saying,the only thing to fear is fear itself is true.goodluck to all

Nicely done!
That was absolutely beautiful and helpful! I want one day to be a director, and I WILL be one! The best!
This is really inspiring

INCREDIBLE !!!! This explains how I feel about film making
Great stuff!
Great image of Lynch, he looks like he's in real pain at seeing he's in your inspirational video
Thanks man!
Thanks for the video..
thanks for the video and gave it the 100th like
The whisper in me *shoot a film and write a story*
Love it
Oh my god, I always had this TV in my mind😂
If you respect the TV as your personal vision and don't say "it's impossible to create this", you can create some amazing movies.
All of my biggest and best projects came from that :)
The gall of JJ to talk about having an original voice!!! Shill. I love Spielberg and his whisper
Absolute paltry from JJ😆
This was crazy
😄 Good stuff, dudes!
Thanks
Thank you
At 2:47 Lynch hits it right on the head
Thank's for the video, but why the hell is there this music???
music gets i the way....
👑
WEED WEED WEED WEED WEED WEEEEED! A good filmmaker must smoke enough weed to gain inspiration.
Thanks from future.
I put this video onto full screen after hearing the word read
Orson is so iconic
Read and listen. Project and frame
Im blind. So that just crushed my hopes and dreams
Don't know if you will see this comment. But never ever give up. There is gonna be times in your life, where you think it's all over. You just can't listen to the nay sayers, never quit, never give up. Follow your dreams.

Why the hell is JJ Abrams in this video?

Better him than Rian Johnson tho lol

there are a tigth line between truth/inverosimil and fact
Herzog is the best
Wread, wread, wread, wread, wread, wread

realise that a camera does a lot of the work

So should I read?

what should I read? :D

at the beginning , i actually thought he was saying weed
99% of this video is pure awe and inspiration until JJ Abraham started talking lol
If you catch an idea that you love that's beautiful beautiful day #davidlynch💓😌

JJ Abrams has a nose like he absorbed his twin in the womb
Read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read.... read, read.... READ....
Dafug what is JJ doing here ?
Well Spielberg is wrong on one point - doing something for the rest of your life. I'm already on my 3rd career.
Read what Herzog??

Please get rid of the background music, it's terribly distracting and kitsche.
Angry Scotsman Perhaps you could be grateful for the time he took to compile these clips in such a nice way.
1:58 looks like Saddam Hussein when he was found in a cave
Great video. However, I wish that they included some opinions from female and non-white male directors too...
The music is not needed
idol worship
"I dream for a living" Ugh!
Only Scorsese GETS IT.
That’s Spielberg my guy lmao
@@dinastiachowfan1401 Oh ok I get what you’re saying. I just misinterpreted your initial comment
Read read read read read!!! How about no bro!
No female directors?
these are not just "male directors" lmao
Yeet yeet yeet yeet yeet yeet yeet if you dont yeet you will never be a filmmaker
Missing female directors! Could you please update the video with some?
Honestly there isn't that many, and I don't think gender is reflective of knowledge of film. But it is always good to have different perspectives.
Get rid of that stupid piano music and reupload and youd have a nice video.
