It's amazing to hear Ridley Scott saying "if you're doing 30-40, takes you don't know what you're doing" and then hear David Fincher having the total opposite philosophy, wanting the actors to do countless takes and operate on muscle memory. And guess what - they're both great directors and none of them are wrong. :)
-
Mr. Scott is apparently 80 years of age. What a sharp mind and energy he has. I hope I'm like that at his age.
-
His two last sentences. "Authority is important. Even if you're pretending in the beginning, try to pretend properly". Nice!
-
I love that he was so straight about everything - no self-deprecating BS. He's like "I have an eye... My reel from 30 years ago would still hold up today."
-
Ridley Scott is something else. Born in 1937, clear minded, full of plans. I hope so much to see more of his work.
-
Ridley Scott is one of the greatest visual directors ever
-
Just worked on a shoot crew with this man. What an exhilarating ride, fast, furious, focused, and a happy, motivated, focused crew, loving the ride and learning so much. A team leader of note.
-
This is gold for any person looking into directing. Ridley is the ultimate teacher, he tells it like it is and cuts out the bullshit you don’t need to know. Superb
-
Not sure how a massive talent like Ridley Scot could ever be underrated as a director but I feel he is. The man is a master.
-
You guys have no idea how valuable these interviews are for aspiring filmmakers!! I can't thank you enough!!
-
"Guess we should've taken better care of ourselves." Dude's like 82, looks like he's 60 and talks like he's 30. ... I think he's done OK for himself.
-
"stamina is very important" so true, after knowing many directors working tirelessly on set without much sleep, such a wise old man.
-
Wow. One of the most insightful interviews of a director's experience I've ever seen. To hear it from Ridley Scott made it doubly enjoyable. Thanks for this video.
-
One of the greatest director of all time
-
It’s quite interesting to note that in filmmaking, the director can actually be anybody and have any sort of a process but if he’s truly madly deeply in love with what he’s doing he’ll swim through the dark oceans of filmmaking challenges. David Fincher deliberately shoots several takes and Ridley Scott calls that naive.. yet both are legends in their own right !!
-
"if you're doing 30-40, takes you don't know what you're doing", i guess Kubrick never got the memo
-
Please do more videos on directing!
-
16:09 thats some hot thick motivation right there
-
I love his sense of humor. He's so fun.
-
Basically every minute of this is invaluable knowledge from one of the best directors in modern history.
