Stuff we use:
CAMERA - This is the camera we have used to film 90+% of our interviews (over 200 interviews and counting) It continues to be our workhorse - amzn.to/2u66V1J
LENS - Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important. This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner. Started using this lens at the end of 2013 - amzn.to/2tbtmOq
AUDIO
Rode VideoMic Pro - The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio. It also helps us sync up our audio in post amzn.to/2t1n2hx
Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - amzn.to/2tbFlM9
LIGHTS - Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light. We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times - amzn.to/2u5UnHv
COMPUTER - Our favorite computer, we each have one and have used various models since 2010 - amzn.to/2t1M67Z

To clarify so no one's confused, he's not saying characters are the only important thing on screen. The cinematography HELPS TELL THE STORY, but characters are the story itself.
You are right on, Cynima Rapscallion. Well don.
Never heard anyone explain it like this. I just ordered his book and looking forward to it.
I can say already that doing my first feature I can say its so critical to see the performance with everything happening. Very well said!
Invaluable advice.
Thanks, Jason. I appreciate your watching and writing a comment. Stay in touch, there are more segments coming.
Mark made important points about the inter-relatedness of film making...reminding us to hold true to the character. Thank you.
Nice way to put it, Olga. Thanks. "Holding true to the character", nice! I look forward to your future comments on the rest of the interview.
This is freaking AMAZING! TY!
You are most welcome, Soco. I love your enthusiasm. Stay in touch and keep watching for more segments from this interview.
As arrogant as it sounds I feel like I already knew this about film innately.
Luke warm or wooden acting always let's down brilliant cinematography and effects.
An honest vulnerable energetic acting performance has always caught my eye and elevated a production imo as a viewer and aspiring filmmaker.
Great to have it confirmed with such clarity, I wonder if this is why I hear scorcese loves to have his framing planned to the finest detail very early in development
Great, to the point advice! Thank you! Looking forward the complete interview.
Thanks Giovanni. And I look forward to your future comments on the rest of the interview.

Thanks to team FILM COURAGE for these idea videos
Ashiedu, you are more than welcome. Thanks for watching.
So much insight! Keep doing these amazing capsules 🎥🍿
I recently interviewed Blake Robbins about his new film, The Scent of Rain and Lightning. I sited your discussion with Mark W. Travis during our discussion. Blake does something a little different with back ground actors. He personally spends time with them getting them ready for a scene by what he likes to call putting on the gray primer. Blake has worked in Hollywood for over 25 years in numerous productions. He's prob most known as Jim Halperin's brother on "The Office." Seek him out. He would be perfect for your channel. Amazing director and a lovely man.
wonderful - you can see how much passion Mark has for film making.
Great to see your voice and words here, Bettina. And I always appreciate your undying support. There are more clips coming. I hope you enjoy them.
He is genius ..he knows exactly what's the primary priority to tell a story..
Thanks for Ur amazing video on( movie directions & film productions)Cinemautography,His Excellency ,Director of Hollywood Movie Production,🙏💖🙏🙏🙏👍🙏
So clear and crucial.
Excellent insight!
Totally true. It's the most difficult thing to do, beside directing actors.
Incredible advice
Wow he's explained it so clearly
Thank you!
You are most welcome Antagonista. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Stay in touch and keep watching.
I am soon going to go to high school and I still don't know what I want to become when I grow up. Since I was a child my obsession were cartoons and they still are. I've always wanted to be part of making an actual movie and everytime someone asks me what I want to do in the future this is always what comes on my mind. But as far as I'm concerned it's not easy and there's a huge possibility that I might not succeed. I still want to give it a shot though and makemy dream come true but I really need some advice.... What should I do?
Hey I know I'm 2 years late on this but here is my two cents on the matter. I am a Junior in college majoring in Mass Communications with an emphasis in Film and Video Production. 6 years ago when I entered freshman year of high school, I wanted to become a filmmaker after the desire to become an engineer faded away. I remember watching the south korean film Oldboy and the anime Akira, and those 2 films changed my life and I was hellbent on wanting to be a director. When I first revealed I wanted to be a filmmaker, my family looked at it with immense skepticism thinking that it is not a "real job". With all that being said I beg you do not give up. Filmmaking is a tough career as I am trying to get mines off the ground while still balancing college. But I promise that it will be rewarding to you and all the worries you had choosing this career path would become a distant memory.
Please please please do not give.
Thank you for reading and have a blessed day!
He gives great advice
Thankyou I'm into film directing it's my long-term
Just WOW!
great advice
Thanks, Ivan. Thanks for watching and writing. Stay in touch.
Respect !
That's what it comes down to. Have you read "Respect for Acting" by Uta Hagen. Brilliant!
fabulous
Thanks, Rutanya. I look forward to seeing you soon.
A casting mistake - Jennifer Lawrence in American Hustle. Marisa Tomei, for instance, would've made more sense. But, well, everything's a mess in American Hustle anyway.
Not really? How was it a mistake?
Good question, Cynima. Most likely it's a matter of perception or opinion. We have to take personal responsibility for our choices. There is no 'right' or 'wrong' choice. There are only personal choices which we have to be able to justify and support.
bang on
Gems.
Wow!
I´m not agreeing with everything he said. I think also the Director (the camera) can tell a Story if it´s done right. You can tell a Story also with great camera work, like Edgar Wright does in his movies
the camera work can enhance the perspective experience of the viewer but it cannot tell a story that was written in words (by story i meant emotions between actors etc)
Thank you for your insight...T>
And thanks for your response, Anthony. I appreciate it. Stay in touch and keep watching for future installments of this interview.

Thanks, Chris. Stay in touch and keep watching for more clips from this interview.
true true true
Extra-fucking-ordinary....!
Fascinating that the people giving advice aren't able to translate this advice into practical use. Hmm, why is that? I think this advice may not be as valuable as you think. Becoming a good director is like becoming a good comedian. It's a mixture of knowledge, practice, timing and taste. If you do not have the gift of good taste and timing, then you will never become a great director.
this is stupid. the main job of the director is to yell: "CUT!"
You're right about stupid, but it's concerning you 😂😂😂!
