All language subtitles for MasterClass Danny Elfman Teaches Music For Film - 21.Closing

[MUSIC PLAYING]

All right, here we are, the
end of my little MasterClass.

The campfire's burning low.

We're down to embers now.

The coyotes are howling
off in the distance,

and we're all getting
kind of sleepy.

Those sleeping bags are just
sitting out there by our horses

and we're ready to
climb into them.

This is the point
where I tell you

all that are going
mining for gold tomorrow

morning, next week, next month,
that I hope I've imparted,

through my wild ramblings,
my stories, my experience,

my over-excitement, my absurd
cynicism, my happiness,

and my disgust and all the
things that I'm filled with all

the time, that through
all of this nonsense,

I've given you some
sense of what you might

apply to your own careers.

If nothing else, mistakes that
I've made that, perhaps, you'll

remind yourself, if you're
in a certain moment,

I don't want to make the
same mistake that Danny made.

Or, perhaps, you'll find
yourself in a moment

where you're losing
heart and you're

starting to doubt yourself.

And you go, Danny
talked about this moment

and the incredible persistence
and commitment it takes.

And remember this-- film
composition is what I love.

You know, when I
started out, I wanted

to be involved with film, I just
didn't know what part of film.

But there still is a
brotherhood, a sisterhood,

of all filmmakers.

Whether you're a
director, whether you're

a cinematographer,
an editor, a writer--

no matter what part of the
field that you end up in,

you only have one thing
that binds you together,

one thing that we all share.

It's an intense
commitment to wanting

to do the best we possibly can.

It's tons of hours
learning our craft,

because it's not just an
art, but it's a craft.

And that's something I
can't say too many times.

It's a balance between the two.

There's an art and
there's a craft.

And that craft has to
be learned by doing.

I wish you all bon
and happy careers.

Or, if not happy, fulfilling--
because they aren't always

the same thing.

People think they are.

It's like, oh, I
had a big career.

It's happy, happy, happy.

Well, it's not.

You have moments of
happiness and you

have moments of misery that
lead to something wonderful.

And remember, that's all
part of the creative process.

So, that's it.

Thank you for taking
my MasterClass.

Good luck.
