This is why I think all actors should try to make a few short films, even if they don't do anything with them. Seeing yourself behind the lens, adjusting, and trying different approaches really helps with understanding how you look on screen and what you can do with the space you are given!
I listened to all of his videos while painting. I learned so much from him. It feels like I’m just chatting with a very good friend. Thank you for sharing this. 🥰
Nailed it. When I can relax and just watch the scene like an audience member and not feel like I’m worried about them not blowing it or eff up continuity or miss marks, that’s when I know I’m working with a pro.
5:26 "...,a strange question to ask a DP." Agreed 100%. Appreciate the effort, Film Courage, but cinematography would've been a better topic to discuss with Mr. Rushing-trends, challenges, other DP work he finds amazing and admirable, up-and-coming DPs, etc. For example, take the breaking of conventions in _Midsommar_ (2019), a horror film so brightly lit, with almost no grading towards desaturation or darkness, all shot with such wide lenses. Just these two elements already go against what's common in the genre: high-key lighting is more often employed in comedies, and with horror, filmmakers usually want shots that induce claustrophobia, so they would request appropriate lenses to achieve this effect. Midsommar, however, proves you can get an astounding sense of dread even if you have contravening choices in your visual narrative. I, for one, would like to hear Mr. Rushing's thoughts about this (and if he found the FILMmaker to be COURAGEous in this film _wink, wink_ ). Next time, Film Courage, hopefully. :)
Since you asked, not only hearing what filmmakers do well themselves, but also hearing what they find helpful and skillful in their collaborators is tremendously insightful. It allows them to speak about personal experience with respect and admiration without having to worry about being humble or being arrogant.
@@ddr_drogba777 the movie is on Prime Video but I haven't time yet to watch the whole thing. I may have to skip to just the Rutger Hauer scenes to quickly locate it.

I loved hearing that about Rutger Hauer.
Love that story!
Me too. He was my youth hero, and his human warmth made a difference.
Rutger is top 3 favourite actors for me. RIP big lad.
@@YewrinePish Who are the other two?
This is so good listening to him. One of the joys of working in films is being able to listen to such stories from all the set veterans.
"He was a solid dude, man!" That came from the heart.
Those moments when you're not shooting the movie anymore but watching it...👌 You know the actor is🔥

The fact that Rudger Hauer knew lens view and held to that without direction is something to remember if even I do another acting gig.
Rutger Hauer a true legend!

This advice is what puts those who use it in a solid position to succeed.
What was the advice? I didn't find anything of interest in this video.
@@w.harrison7277 that's weird he was very specific
I think it’s good to ask these questions to a cinematographer. I find it interesting to hear their opinions on things.
I always thought Hauer was an outstanding actor. I really liked hearing he was an outstanding man too.
Rutger Hauer and the gun flash. Learned something there. Thx FC! 👌
Which part of this was most helpful?
The importance of geometry and knowing how everyone else's jobs work so you can make their lives easier. Good advice.
Rutger Hauer’s old email address! That info helped me like him even more.
To pay attention to what's important in others' jobs, not only in yours.

This guy just looks like knowledge.
Wonderful insight into Rutger Hauer.
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
Title of video Four Qualities Every Actor Should Have. The twist all four are just be Rutger Houer.
I'm not an actor or filmmaker, but after a bunch o these...I might!
I lost it; Rutger freakin Hauers email was ‘fartville’
Thanks for sharing!
Anybody know about that Rutger Hauer scene?
Hauer was such a pro
in which movie Rutger flashes the gun? now I want to see it! you put a bug in my head, sorry.
It might be Flying Virus.
@@MiguelCruz-oz7km thanx
Did you find the scene?
@@ddr_drogba777 the movie is on Prime Video but I haven't time yet to watch the whole thing. I may have to skip to just the Rutger Hauer scenes to quickly locate it.
@@ddr_drogba777 I didn`t notice.
But how did he have to time to do cinematography when writing GOT?
Dont sit on a high curve, be prepared for every pitch in the book, but smack that high curve(right moment) out of the stands
Rutger Hauer. . . Miss Him, Miss Him, Miss Him. . . . .
Everyone’s so damn nice that the projects never rise up to higher levels. Concentrate on not being so damn nice. Crazy idea
lovely shirt. ☺
Wonderfull speaker
Amen
Nice Talk 👏👏👏👌👌👍
I love me some Film Courage, but those were some odd questions to throw at a DP...
You don’t need to be a chef to know when food tastes good
California Christmas?!
Indeed, he was the cinematographer.
I would absolutely consider a cinematographer's advice before lighting my set, their advice on Acting though, not so much.
Have camera and situational awareness.
If you don't understand lenses, just ask your frame.
hit the mark, catch the light, and don't move so fast that the camera cant follow
His responses were great, but the interviewer doesn't seem to know what a DP does.
It means Department of Power. That's who gives orders on movie sets. That's why I asked him. Thank you, Brian.
@@filmcourage 😂👏🏻👏🏻
fartville :D
What kind of stupid questions are those for a DP??
Thank you, Claudio!
@@filmcourage Any time! ;)
Hes a cinematographer not an actor. Do you ask the bar tender how to fry chicken?
