You can make a great-looking movie, and creatively-edited film. That doesn't make a movie great though. It makes it aesthetically beautiful and technically proficient. But cinematography and editing will not make a movie. They are there to *service the story*. Otherwise you have all flash and no substance. If you do not have a powerful, strong story, all your fancy cinematography and editing prowess will amount to nothing more than just that. Filmmaking is _about_ story. And storytelling is how we developed as a species. That is why it's so important - it is the single threading factor that we all identify and connect with. What ultimately makes a film (or any work) stick with you for the rest of your life. You need that foundation first, on which to build and use the tools specific to filmmaking. But the tools alone (cinematography/editing) will not do nothing for you without story behind them. Now what George forgot, is that you need great writing to support that story. Without that, your king will fall flat on his royal face.

@@chrismhp No. The entire purpose of story is to reveal character. You can make a great movie with literally no plot, provided that the characters are engaging. And the same is true visually. Film is a visual medium, and it's possible to make a film that's so engaging visually (not just technically, but artistically) that the film can work as an aesthetic piece, like a painting.

I agree with Tarantino there is "more people doing it but less people that know what their doing" [sec]... Look at the directors they were competing for theatre space with during the time they came to prominence- compare to our present day.. I think I rather swim with all the fishes than the sharks they had to learn to swim with back in the day... Also with all the free easy world wide means of distribution, this has casted a real whitewash for the consumers and no shortage of slush-piling for the filmmaker to be buried in... Unless his movie happens to be "Reservoir Dogs"- then he be ok in any era... A masterpiece is a masterpiece, and shines through all the darkness and filth of the age...

It's a two sided sword. There are more people doing audiovisual now, but it is also way easier for you to get it done too, and if you're really good you can stand out. It think both are right and I also think Rodriguez would have it much harder today because he isn't that good. He succeeded by following Tarantino's trend. Tarantino on the other side was groundbreaking and he would have stood up today as much as he did back then.

Film making is all about deviation, that's what I love about it. you can put so much emphasis on parts where the script is weak so as to bring the continuity or discontinuity together. Ads and Music videos are always the best to use when breaking into directing. Music videos especially, find some eclectic artist and just use every odd technique you know in the book...

Actually, Raimi's advice pretty much just adds up to getting you a lot of practice for cheap. Rodriguez wrote a book way back when explaining how he got good so fast, and it was because he made 30 films and short films on video that no one ever saw before he made El Mariachi. Practically the same advice. According to him, the most important thing is experience, and they suggest getting that experience for cheap by shooting lots of movies on video (or consumer HD video, or whatever).

I so wish I was in America. I'm from the Uk (England). The film world isn't as big here.

Very true. But then again, many of those filmmakers went to film school in it's golden era (late 60s-70s). The number of film schools was smaller and so it was easier to grab amazing directors as guest speakers. Also, the technology wasn't advancing as quickly. Many professors have no idea how to use the latest tools of the trade. It is a good place to make some connections and be exposed to types of film you would never think of watching.

Rod has lost a lot of his clout over the years cause of his foray into 3d kid's films which is now how the new generations know him- who never saw his Mariachi days of indie lore... So he too fell in the hollywood trap and lost himself pandering to a demo beneath his talent and capability... It's ashame...

He actually had intended to film 'Battle Angel' before 'Avatar'; but regrettably he couldn't himself attain the rights to it.

A creative person who enjoys what he/she is doing with film will become successful without even really trying. Where most aspiring film directors fail is that they want to become famous to fulfil ego insecurities and the creative aspect is an afterthought, so in effect it is being done with an alterior motive. Something creative undertaken for the joy of it's creation soley will very often be successful, and if its not a 'success' by public definition then the director won't care anyway.
