It's rare you get to see the behind the scenes of a director looking at drafts and making decisions like that. Usually behind the scenes is all about the actors cutting up. I loved this.
5:48 Oh my god My man is responsible for literally my favourite scene in all of Iron Man, the mechanical arm screwing the joints into place is *chefs kiss noise* thank you Jon for saying “I almost want it to linger” because goddamit that one little detail made me believe that the Iron Man suit was real
Oh my god and he even made the early Repulsor ray blasts sound more impactful. Goshdang I always wondered why they never made iron man sound as cool as he was in the first Iron Man movie but it all makes sense now.
"don't worry about consistency, worry about impact" true words from a Master Director, words can not express my admiration for this amount of detail involved. Kudos John
Well, it's more like most directors think "consistency isn't that important, viewers are too stupid to notice anyway. Rather concentrate on making it Look Cool" But there's a few of us who will notice the difference, the plot holes, when filmmakers change things just 'cause it suits them.
@@Vousie not really. It's more so about making memorable scenes that will stick with people. If you pay attention you'll see that Jon knows exactly what he's doing here.
@@DerelictCountry Have a look at the Sci-Fi/Fantasy TV shows that managed to last 7+ seasons. Basically all of them are very consistent. They remember what has happened in the previous seasons and avoid making plot holes. TV Shows that just make "cool scenes" that they think will be "memorable" even though they conflict with what's happened previously don't tend to last long.
directors tend to rely on trusted collaborators for these kinds of decisions. that's why you often see directors work with the same producers and crew, or as close to the same teams as possible. directors obviously work well with film crews who mesh with them well on a personal level, and who execute the director's vision satisfactorily according to him or her. a director really can't do everything alone.
6:55 What's cool about this discussion is you can see in the final film they added a shot after the punch to become the new "reveal shot." Wonder if it was a reshoot or if they just found another take to use.
Since the suit in that scene was full CGI, all they had to do was go back to that set and shoot a dolly shot to put the CGI suit on. If the set was already re-purposed, would be slightly harder.
@@ZeroG_Bandit they shot that in location in the desert, not to mention they wrapped up filimin in June of 2007 and what we see here in post is March of 2008. So either they went back or it was all CGI but that just means John really pushed for that reveal shot
Iron Man is still one of my most favourite marvel movie ever. It started something so so special and awesome. This movie was basically a big bang of the marvel cinematic universe. :)
The scene started at 1:00 was actually deleted in the final version of the movie. Obie was stunned by the blast of arc reator and directly fell from the roof into the reactor.
They had no idea how important this film would become, and what a legendary cinematic universe it would start. Also: I never realized Jon Favreau was wearing a wig there ;)
@@catha86 they definitely don't know since Kevin Feige even said that they would still be happy if it failed since at least they tried to made the movie themselves rather than other studios which was their main focus rather than a successful movie
It's amazing how good directors always have such a specific vision with every single scene. And they can give such precise answers and critiques to what they want to see on screen.
I hear Hollywood greats badmouthing these kinds of movies as not being real cinema. Iron man to me was one of the best movies I've ever seen as in I could stop and watch it any time. RDJ is a masterclass in this.
Had no idea John was doing the mocap for the Mark 1. It’s incredible how much they did staying with a small budget. I feel Kevin Feige dropped the ball trying to push Iron Man 2 opening the MCU so fast. You can see the direction & quality John brought into the first film.
And after jump starting the MCU with this mega movie, Jon started thinking about a story concerning a mandalorian and how it could inject new life into Star Wars...
I work in the business, and it is interesting to see how the process is roughly the same on any film during the post production process. A lot of back and forth and different people with different ideas. The director is obviously always the lead. It is fascinating.
Holy cow..at 4:06 Jon Favreu took off his hair. I had no idea it was fake. He was also wayyyy skinnier compared to how he is now in Spiderman No Way Home!
I never knew this was the guy that directed Iron Man. I always wondered why he was always featured in so many Marvel films. I always thought of him as the guy who got turned down by Monica on Friends.
Wow I've never seen the behind the scenes for the visuaFX. It's so cool to see them talk about the effects, especially two months before the movie released.
whats most fascinating is - jon the security head of ironman is somehow most non - intelegent or non techie guy of marvel in film and in reality he is the most talented and techie out there who started all the marvel journey - man this man gave so much to us. GOAT . rest is history - at first we can easily see that rdj has so much love and respect for jon... they had great bromance over the series - love to see them together.
The fact that the amount of sheer dedication Jon and his team put into this movie is unbelievable. I mean the amount of hard word he's putting into each and every single inch of those shots is mind blowing and the way he attains and corrects every unseen minute detail is what made this an all time spectacular and marvelous masterpiece. This is like the dope film of those times and no other movie during that era has pulled of with a CGI like this. God! It is as if it's almost real. I mean they were just trying to give their best in the work not knowing how iconic this movie is gonna turn and paves a path wide enough for more future projects. Love RDJ and Jon fav! Thanks to Jon Favreau, we got him as Iron man otherwise it would have been a lot more odd to see or even imagine someone else portraying this role.
ROBERT DOWNEY JR really made this movie a BIGG SUCCESS FR , he was ,is and will forever be the best role for IRONMAN , it's crazy to see how this movie really paid out , WHAT A BIGG W :) !!!!!!!!!!!!
I was in middle school when I saw the first Iron Man in theaters with my parents. I remember half way through, the movie stopped, and we all got escorted to the employee backrooms, because there was a tornado. We sat in the employee room for like an hour, before going back to the theater and finishing the movie. Unforgettable experience 😂
Ah the pre Disney says the MCU had such a good start, no overly childish comedy and jokes just for the sake of being ‘family friendly’ practical props and sets that actually make the scene look far more realistic and movies that largely focus on its own character and not try to squeeze in a bunch of cameo or supporting roles of other non related character
I just finished a full MCU binge, from Iron Man to Endgame (plus the last 2 Spider-Man movies), and after that it's really odd to see/hear Happy Hogan calling the shots on how it's supposed to come together. (obviously I know Jon Favreau directed Iron Man, but at this point I just recognize him as Happy)

Same here, couldn't agree more. It was the perfect start to all of this. He is my favorite character forever
It's the best MCU film in my opinion
4:12-4:16 RDJ cheering for Jon Favreau, is one of the real time iconic moments and thank god it's been recorded. What a great legends both are

I love how its like this small but friendly, family team and they made one of the biggest movies ever, this is epic. One of my favourites.
Remember kids, this was BEFORE Disney got involved...
Disney has completely ruined Marvel and the MCU.
Remind you again their current state: She hulk twerk with Megan Thee Stallion as woman empower.
They got involved soon after which created the MCU as we know it
This was the start of Fiege, he's literally the only person in charge over there.
@@topbadgun she hulk carried the mcu..
Im kidding
Jon Favreau has got to be one of the most influential filmmakers of this century
If he lost any more weight he would have looked alot like Christian Bale
@@tackywacky99 I can actually see that

The absolute state of Cinema. What a cursed timeline.
Iron Man
The Mandalorian
People in metal suits that everyone loves.

The movie that started the MCU. Iron Man was fun to watch and the character will be missed.
Pretty sure that was The Incredible Hulk...

Iron Man 2 was equally good. I have no idea why people hate on that film.
best MCU movie hands down. the attention to detail and amazing editing and production blows my mind every time i rewatch this movie
Wish they followed that formula with Iron 2 and 3...uhhhh

It's fun and informative to watch people in their field of expertise get together to create a movie like this..amazing

John Favreau´s Iron Man - The very Big Bang of the MCU
whats most fascinating is - jon the security head of ironman is somehow most non - intelegent or non techie guy of marvel in film and in reality he is the most talented and techie out there who started all the marvel journey -
man this man gave so much to us. GOAT .
rest is history -
at first we can easily see that rdj has so much love and respect for jon... they had great bromance over the series - love to see them together.
I love how they think about the little details in each scene.
John is a hell of a director
I was just in Las Vegas and saw Caesar’s Palace sooooo many times! That makes me excited knowing that I was somewhere RDJ was!
Marvel fans are lucky to have this best actor in mcu 🥰
This makes me wanna rewatch Iron Man 1 again
Whatching this guy work is mezmerizing and inspiring.
I really wish they would show more of Jon Favreaus directing. The Interviews are cool but I like the behind the scenes stuff like the audio mixing.
Damn I never knew they were so nitty gritty with this stuff. So cool to see more of the film making process.
I Just Love To See Behind Scenes Hard Work .
This is the point the MCU happened. A great day that brought many more and continues to do so
dude is living in 2055 with those clip on widescreen things
i love this kinds of videos coz you get so much insight on how the director thinks and wants for the shots and composition!
We don’t need sleep 💤, we got talent!! Excellent

The film that started it all, Thank you RDJ for everything
Wieviel Arbeit in meinem Lieblings Film steckt ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Ironman come back 😢
I was in middle school when I saw the first Iron Man in theaters with my parents. I remember half way through, the movie stopped, and we all got escorted to the employee backrooms, because there was a tornado. We sat in the employee room for like an hour, before going back to the theater and finishing the movie. Unforgettable experience 😂
These behind the scenes clips...I like them. ANOTHER!
the rough CGI versions of shots are so interesting
why’d they have to take off jons hair piece on set right before they took pictures 😂😅
0:06 - 0:11 Every toddler in a car seat
i hope they do more of these . we would totally get it

아이언맨 시리즈 영화 정말재미있게보았습니다 ☆최고☆
Its so crazy to think Iron Man happened 15 years ago. It still feels fresh and interesting and unbelievably cool.
"the first half hour being in the Iron man suit I realized that it would all be done in cgi".... c'mon man.
Very interesting to see production side of things!
“The loneliest Halloween”
But it sure got way less lonely in the Marvel Universe, didn’t it?
Этот фильм о Легенде .. спасибо за эти кадры) Джон Фавро Гений))
Great Lovely memories...
MASTERPIECE!
3:31 that was a wholeass sentence
jon favreau super talented. glad to have worked with him on chef
It all start here the Marvel journey begins.
No wonder why early iron man armor look so realistic.
*Robert.. we're gonna be okay.. you can rest now.*
There is a fancy mansion and its filled with the production team and gear, thats much cooler than an office building.
His charming face🤩😍
Incredible incredible Director
It's just a shame he never became the ultimate fighting champion...
Yea, he really should’ve just married Monica…
Insane to see how far the MCU has come from this film
Love you 3000😇😣
The genius of Favreau! Less is more building the progression of ironman. Could have used him on the overworked Transformer movies.

He had no idea that role was going to change his career forever.
Actually, I think he knew it could. That's why he fought so hard to get it. Marvel must have told him "No!" about 20 times, but he didn't give up.
