[Music]
2
00:00:12,120 --> 00:00:15,280
it's so personal um in terms of deciding
3
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,359
what movie or television show you're
4
00:00:17,359 --> 00:00:18,680
going to work on if you're lucky enough
5
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:23,119
to have options and have choices um the
6
00:00:23,119 --> 00:00:27,960
um for me is always trying to identify
7
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,199
something in an in an idea that I just
8
00:00:30,199 --> 00:00:32,279
that I'm excited about that on on a it's
9
00:00:32,279 --> 00:00:34,160
not an intellectual thing it's just an
10
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:37,320
emotional thing I'm I'm I'm reading it
11
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:41,520
I'm beginning to dream about it um and
12
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,840
um and and and in a way beginning to see
13
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:45,960
it and I don't want to let go of that
14
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:47,680
and that's that that that inspiration
15
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,760
and there's something about that story
16
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,960
that you know you as a creative person
17
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,120
just connect with you want to apply what
18
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,120
you have to offer to that I you I have
19
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,640
to feel that you know that there's
20
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,960
something about it that I connect with
21
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,119
on an emotional level or that I feel
22
00:01:05,119 --> 00:01:09,280
like I I can contribute to it um I have
23
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,479
to feel that um that the story offers
24
00:01:12,479 --> 00:01:15,520
something to audiences that's fresh
25
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,119
that's um you know thematically
26
00:01:18,119 --> 00:01:21,920
interesting um and uh um you know and is
27
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,680
is going to be worthy of of their you
28
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,479
know their of their attention their time
29
00:01:26,479 --> 00:01:30,119
and and their money
30
00:01:31,130 --> 00:01:34,000
[Music]
31
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,479
I think that
32
00:01:35,479 --> 00:01:39,479
freshness is very important when you're
33
00:01:39,479 --> 00:01:42,600
evaluating your idea because the
34
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,920
execution can be you know outstanding on
35
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:50,880
a character level um and but but if it's
36
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,520
if it's not presented in some way that
37
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,039
feels fresh either through the Cinematic
38
00:01:58,039 --> 00:02:00,520
approach or the setting
39
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,439
or then then it then it's going to be
40
00:02:03,439 --> 00:02:05,399
it's going to be sort of downgraded in
41
00:02:05,399 --> 00:02:06,560
people's minds they're going to feel
42
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,160
like well they've kind of seen it before
43
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,879
this is a good version of something else
44
00:02:11,879 --> 00:02:16,200
but what else in in great improv study
45
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,120
groups they always say and the great
46
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,640
teachers will say to the Improv artists
47
00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:24,040
once they've completed they'll say what
48
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,519
else and and I think there's that's a
49
00:02:27,519 --> 00:02:29,920
great clue for for writers Andor
50
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:32,400
directors as well if you look at a movie
51
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,080
like the first Star
52
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,920
Wars well Joseph Campbell explained you
53
00:02:38,920 --> 00:02:41,720
know very well to all of us who were
54
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,640
listening that it was the you know a
55
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:48,840
combination of the familiar myths but it
56
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,720
was retold in this way that we just had
57
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,040
never really experienced before and it
58
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,280
was so exciting it made us it made those
59
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:00,599
old myths those old ideas um you know
60
00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:05,080
land in a powerful way but we were ready
61
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,040
to receive them because it was directed
62
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,680
in such a brilliant remarkable fresh way
63
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,360
um sometimes the you know directors come
64
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,200
along and find a way to do
65
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,040
something
66
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,560
traditional
67
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,920
and yet you know make it
68
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:27,720
modern uh La La Land is an example of a
69
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,920
classic movie Musical
70
00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:33,239
structure um even the approach to the
71
00:03:33,239 --> 00:03:38,000
music is traditional um and yet the way
72
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,519
it's shot the the setting the characters
73
00:03:41,519 --> 00:03:43,920
the way they talk to each other um you
74
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,840
know it feels entirely modern well
75
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,519
that's a great combination that makes it
76
00:03:48,519 --> 00:03:51,120
feel like a a very satisfying experience
77
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,200
because you know there are those classic
78
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,280
themes those ideas that we do appreciate
79
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,920
we just don't want them presented to us
80
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,680
in that that same old way and so that's
81
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,120
where storytelling is almost always a
82
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,480
combination of something old and
83
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,280
something new and it's the something new
84
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,680
that gives it the Contemporary relevance
85
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,120
that makes it immediate and meaningful
86
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,720
to those of us today living in this
87
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,600
moment that's what's so amazing about
88
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,280
Shakespeare's writing
89
00:04:30,280 --> 00:04:33,280
is directors find ways of continuing to
90
00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:36,800
restage it reshape it and the psychology
91
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,000
is so solid that what the characters go
92
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,120
through
93
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,320
still lands for audience members today
94
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,479
but the best versions uh are the ones
95
00:04:48,479 --> 00:04:49,960
that are able to find a way either
96
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,039
through performance or presentation uh
97
00:04:53,039 --> 00:04:58,120
or Rhythm uh to um you know to to feel
98
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,360
um like you haven't seen it before you
99
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,639
don't quite know what's going to happen
100
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:10,759
next another thing to really look for in
101
00:05:10,759 --> 00:05:14,720
a in any film whether it's short or or
102
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,800
or
103
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,560
longer are going to be those powerful
104
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:24,759
moments now great great filmmakers from
105
00:05:24,759 --> 00:05:28,840
around the world have often said that
106
00:05:28,840 --> 00:05:32,039
movies are com surprised of you know
107
00:05:32,039 --> 00:05:34,720
somewhere between three and
108
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,199
seven great great scenes and once you
109
00:05:38,199 --> 00:05:40,039
identify what those great memorable
110
00:05:40,039 --> 00:05:43,240
moments are then it's it's how artfully
111
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:44,880
the film builds to those moments to
112
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,880
maximize the power and potency of those
113
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,840
moments whether it's a Twist or surprise
114
00:05:50,840 --> 00:05:54,000
or a revelation that a character makes
115
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,800
or a great action scene that reflects
116
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,919
character in some way and is dazzling to
117
00:05:59,919 --> 00:06:02,720
watch whatever those highlights are it's
118
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,280
important to identify them now five
119
00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:07,039
minute movie doesn't need five
120
00:06:07,039 --> 00:06:09,720
highlights but you know it it needs to
121
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,759
build to something that's going to be um
122
00:06:13,759 --> 00:06:15,759
you know it's going to just impinge on
123
00:06:15,759 --> 00:06:17,000
you it's going to it's going to be an
124
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,039
impact moment that you want to remember
125
00:06:21,039 --> 00:06:24,680
talk about you know see that film over
126
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,960
again to experience another time uh and
127
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,400
uh uh those have to be earned by the by
128
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,360
the filmmaker they need to be understood
129
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,800
and built
130
00:06:35,180 --> 00:06:38,329
[Music]
131
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,000
to we're all
132
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,080
storytellers um and um you know stories
133
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,000
have been the main means of
134
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,080
conveying and making sense of The Human
135
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,319
Experience from you know from the
136
00:06:53,319 --> 00:06:56,160
beginning from Primal man we we all do
137
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,840
it we all understand stories makes us
138
00:06:58,840 --> 00:07:00,240
believe we can
139
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:05,479
direct um and we probably all can the
140
00:07:05,479 --> 00:07:08,919
the next big step Beyond loving a story
141
00:07:08,919 --> 00:07:11,599
believing you understand it you know and
142
00:07:11,599 --> 00:07:14,000
being excited about it that
143
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,919
inspiration is then comes execution and
144
00:07:16,919 --> 00:07:20,199
this is where understanding why stories
145
00:07:20,199 --> 00:07:25,280
work why certain themes resonate the way
146
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,120
styles of Storytelling can shift and
147
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,000
impact an audience at a particular
148
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,039
moment and one style can suddenly feel
149
00:07:34,039 --> 00:07:36,759
quaint old-fashioned or something that's
150
00:07:36,759 --> 00:07:39,840
old and traditional May suddenly be just
151
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,639
right and therefore feel um you know
152
00:07:42,639 --> 00:07:46,039
immediate and and appropriate and and
153
00:07:46,039 --> 00:07:48,440
exciting those are all judgment calls us
154
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,280
that's taste you can't really teach
155
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,039
taste we all have our own instincts and
156
00:07:55,039 --> 00:07:57,919
I think what we what we have to do is is
157
00:07:57,919 --> 00:08:00,280
is hone that
158
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,120
and trust it and back up that instinct
159
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,720
and that taste with something called
160
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,039
craft and um and you know that's that's
161
00:08:11,039 --> 00:08:14,199
what I hope to offer um in in this in
162
00:08:14,199 --> 00:08:17,199
these conversations12003
