"Show, don't tell". That's one of the best lessons ever
Something Shane Carruth never learned....
3:50 French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry ("Le petit prince") wrote: "Perfection is reached, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there's nothing more to remove." Captivatng video, as usual. I like how you focus on the story to be told, on how to tell it, what serves it, etc.
This side of RUclips university is soo much better than the "content" creation side.. It's good to see guys who clearly do the work from the cinema side crossing over with each other
The power of silence is overlooked not only in films but also in RUclips videos. I notice on RUclips a machine gun of information that needs more space for digesting that information.
Do people think silence is boring? Actually, people do. A study was done where people would instead zap themselves with electricity than sit silently with their thoughts.
You always seem to hit a topic right when I need it lol. Started filming my first documentary last week, this was both helpful and inspiring!
What perfect timing
I’m a young film director, I strongly agree with all these tips, especially the last one!
Lmao I was in Firehouse Cinema watching OKAY 😂 Filming a video while your doc is playing, your productivity is next level!
😂
Just started my phase of visiting galleries and performances 🙌🏼🎬 Inspiration levels are on top
Small world, my friend produced your movie! I heard about this a while ago while she was working on it. Sick.
Been so busy with our new cinematography course I forgot to post this video! Shot it back in April!
Ecellent
😊
Can’t wait- when I’m not watching AOD, I’m watching Lewis
I love the little self-commentating clips in this edit, I tip my hat 😅
I also think to piggyback on tip 4, watching older films when they had less gear available is a great way to learn how to do more with less.
🤘
I love tip 4... I have been going back and watching some older and classic films lately. Thanks so much
Cool Hand Luke
I appreciate all your tips, Mark. They have helped my own filmmaking trajectory so much. Thank you! Keep it up!
You always succed to inspire me with your vids, the topics, the tips and the way you are passing them is very moving! keep it up man
Love the influence segment! I’ve actually been taking clips and scenes for films, recutting them and presenting them as concepts for my commercial pitches.
Nailed it again. Thanks Mark for continuing to share so much with us!
Its funny I live with 3 incredible autistic people and filming our trips purely to tell the tale of the moment is my escape ,recharge,unwind,so I can be the best me for them. To sit and watch these trips with my amazing family afterwards is the only reason I create vids ,how cool is that ? Directing for them is the best experience ever . The fact that others watch on the tube is a bonus .luv your work mate keep us inspired aye cheers
This was an awesome video Mark! And really inspiring too!
Hope I get to see your film in the future!
Silence. Explained the importance of this to a young actor who was rushing through the scene. Told her to let the scene breathe on its own. She came back and nailed it.
You spoke about being open to different types of art. I remember listening to a DP whose name I can't recall talk about the 'look' of the film mentioning all the greats and then... Caravaggio. I took an art history class and listened with fascination about all the looks he discussed with the director. Glad I'd taken that class.
Splendid tips as always. Thank you, Mark!
Wow, felt like tip #4 was made for me. Literally just made a YT video about this topic last week. The timing is wild 🤯
Great piece of advice. Decide on the perspective. Your angle. Your take. Your position. Your point of view in this instance.
And then how can I say this with just visuals.
And the add all the other stuff.
Love that
Hey that’s me!! Super helpful video! Btw OKAY is so good I loved it
Thanks for your advice, agree 100%, hope a lot of new filmmakers see this
Inspirational as always mark! Keep it coming! God bless man.
I appreciate your incredible insight and practical tips, Mark. This is your second video I viewed next to Oppenheimer with is really good too. Subscribed already 😊
Last tip is golden! Thanks for the video from an aspiring filmmaker :)
Awesome tips! original and to the point .
Would love to see a vlog on acquiring distributors and what routes you think you people should explore.
Topic: how to film a scene. Tips for two main character scenes (when filming alone). Tips for fast action scenes. Tips for when to stand still and when to move. How you think about getting the shots and reading the room/scene. How you avoid missing important shots and moments when things are happening quickly. What to do when you’re in the wrong place in the room when an important moment is happening but you don’t want to move and miss getting the shot all together. Mostly tips for beginners for building scenes (rather than just capturing broll.) thanks!
Experimental cinema are always a great way for inspiration with charecters and situations and all time high Visuals ❤
💯 why Koyaanisqatsi is my fav film of all time
So much value in this video.
This is really interesting and informative. Thank you
Tip 1 totally agree. A lot of yt docs are just interviews with fancy B-Roll. No meaning, no story. No soul.
I like this vid, very raw, very honest, and especially the last tip. Thanks, Mark, I appreciate you 🙏
Thanks mate 👌🏻✌️
Thanks for these guidelines and congratulations on your movie.
Congrats about the film -- nice vid too-
Thank you for sharing your insight! 🎉
Hi Mark, I enjoy seeing your YT content. It helps me see things from a wider perspective. I really appreciate your ideas, which are often a little different from other YT creators I see. For me your views have an authenticity usually born of experience or reflection on your time as a filmmaker.
Myself I'm a little late in life getting into this and know I have much to learn. But I'm enjoying the journey of discovery.
Awesome, thank you! Appreciate you watching
Thanks man very enlightening
I've never been to Canada, and the city (if it is Toronto), seems beautiful. I, as a simple ordinary citizen from Eastern Europe, think it would be great to include more footage of the city. The first thing that came to my mind was a bus travel, as a form of learning the art through tiny journey.
Of course, If you want to and find it interesting.
Great video and really new approach to learning tips
This is helpful. Thanks for sharing
Informative. Thank you!
It’s nice as an artist, to see and hear similar concepts that I use being shared this way.
😊
Superb analysis dear. Kèep it up
Thanks for this one
This is extremely helpful. Thank you!
🫡
I was wondering where did you walk out for the most part of the premiere LOL!
Love it thanks Mark
✌️
Wow.. great video and tips! I'm working on my short and thought I might be doing something wrong because im only trying to describe my vision.. haven't figured out how to show everything yet though.
Would actually be nive with some tips on transforming your ideas into visuals and scenes. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks from india, last tip was bang on.
Eurovision clip! Saw what you did there❤ inspo is everywhere😊
Love your shit man you are the real deal so insightful!!
Love yore work Mark, I want to work with you. Your'e Fire. Proud of you.
Thank you, sir 👍👍
Thank you sir 😭 currently working on my first short film……wish me luck
A great book on art to check out is “Look Again - How to Experience the Old Masters” by Ossian Ward.
Thanks!
wao such exciting reviews
Thank you
If you really want to get some interesting influence by consuming different art, watch A.I. made shortfilms. They are really trippy, uncomfortable and definitely something different, lol. The best way I can describe it, is it looks like what dreams feel like.
Yes it is very helpful, as a director need perspective. Every individual have there unique perspective in life. If we can find it truly, then it definitely will be unique.
Hey Mark, great input! I'm new here. Where can I see Danny's Film, just those couple shots looked stunning. Does he have a channel of his own?
Tip #4!
Insightful
✌️
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought they hit record....but didn't haha. Thank you Mark for all your wisdom!
😂 I do if way too often
Im doing a historical documentary using newsreel, stills and new directed scenes to bring it to life more.
Everything is shot and 80% done editing, and it works as is.
But because the newsreel are in 4:3 and photos different aspect ratios, you cant fit it of course.
The director hates slow zoomings in stills so thats not an option.
The images are not suited for being fancy and splitting up the image into layers and doing projections.
I did put in a subtle texture of a table from a shot where we dropped photos on a table. It takes away alot of the feeling of a still image floating in space.
But I wonder what tricks you have for making the formats mismatch as seamless as possible, and love to se some insperation.
With stills you can alkways build plates with photos to give them something to exist in.
With the 4:3 newsreels its harder.
Just throwing it out here as Im sure alot of documentary filmakers will se the post.//Joel
Awesome stuff!
I just finished up shooting my documentary and I want to get started editing!!! Do I have to wait until September to get into AOD?!?
Doors open Sept 8!
why you use fx9 and not fx3 as a camera? i had fx6 and now i own 2 - fx3 very interesting why fx9 is still your main camera
Seeing DCTV pop up in your video is funny to see.
I am starting out as a director. Still small scale, non paid music videos, but I try to make my vision come true. I am an experienced editor. But I would like know how to market myself as a director and only as a director?
Director/editors exist. But I think it’s always strong to present yourself as one position (director) but with multiple skill sets. But in the end, the quality of your work is all that matters
I’m producing a financial education video series and my presenters are experts in their fields but many are less than proficient on-camera presenters. Can you talk about how to direct non-professional presenters?
This way of sharing tips is more engaging and feels authentic than sitting in a studio or setup and of course the tips are useful 🤌🙌
It was fun to vlog again!!
I have ASD and i am getting a lot out of your films
Great topic!
I hope you take this graciously but I believe there is a typo in tip 4 of this video.
Take care.
Typos are my strongest skillset
We enjoyed watching , We are a podcast based in New York City and would love to get a interview of you
Shoot me an email at info@markbone.com
about art in a flim plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Like can we talk about art deeply, I think it’s very great topic every young upcoming director should talk about .
I dig your style brodie
Thanks man 🫡

You are light version of darren aronofsky
Second ❤
big day for you!
Hey I just finished watching your video it was a great video. I enjoy tips from experienced individuals such as yourself I just started filming under this record label a little over 2 months ago. I find myself as an artist who needed to get into videography fell in love with it but is unable to make the most out of it as I want to be in front of the camera. Which is why I would like to reach out to anyone who is from New York City or New Jersey and would like to try and film with me live performances around in the city in Manhattan. It could start off there and eventually move on to be other spots or just music videos down the line. If anybody is interested reach out to me
I thought you were gonna add something like, “how to handle lazy actors and crew.” 🧐
"Casting 101"
first!
oh no, two firsts
I really thought tip #1 was going to be "don't wear white pants"
You really don't have to have a secret perspective, a sub textual theme, a set of beliefs that you want to convey, nor a political or religious agenda. If that's what you want to do, then get on your soapbox on a street corner, and we'll all happily ignore you. Sometimes we (human beings, your audience) just want to be entertained. As Hitchcock said "I'm not interested in giving people a slice of life... I want to offer them a slice of cake." Here endth the lesson.
speak for yourself - I want to know and grow
@@Videofilealways Don't we all? But through our own personal development, life experiences and our interaction with other people. Not by film makers forcing their opinions on me. If a film spouted a message you completely disagreed with, let's say it was anti-abortion, or pro slavery, or made by a holocaust or climate change denier, would you be happy? I know I wouldn't. I would rather watch a documentary that had an unbiased agenda, and showed both sides of the argument. Then I could make up mind own mind which side I agreed with. Sometimes I do want to be challenged, and sometimes I just want popcorn.

My name is Jonathan Trauner. I will be 30 this May 15th 2024 in Jerusalem. I work at Mobileye in Jerusalem. I have Autism. I am a poet artist and performing artist and I love Gal Gadot and Taylor Swift. On June 18th 2023, I got hit by a huge tour bus and I only broke my left collarbone and did not die. I finished recovering end of August 2023 and my bone returned back to normal and to a completely unbroken unified state beginning of December 2023. My greatest dream come true is to become the first openly autistic poet performing artist and artist with Autism to win my Emmy Grammy Oscar and Tony film and acting awards in Los Angeles California in 2025, or in 2028 at the 100th Academy Awards. #NEVERGIVEUP.

first ;)
you're the second first?
NO ONE told you "show, don't tell"?
You never did. Where were you when I needed you?
Ugh. Who is this for? If you already know this stuff, which seems way beyond abundantly self-evident, then it's not necessary. If you don't know this stuff, then you shouldn't be directing in the first place, under any condition, for any reason, and nothing anyone tells you is going to help. The video should be titled, "Dumb And Dumbiest: How To Be A Dummy Director For Dummies: The Dumbed-Down Version". The entertainment value here is this guy is unaware of how he is actually embarrassing himself by the very "principles" he sets forth. Wow.
Ha. Thanks for coming by. I was originally gonna use your title the SEO on it doesn’t track well
