Maybe "Tom" is seriously asking that question. I think it's a question a seven year old would ask but maybe he is seven.<BR/> <BR/>To be honest my reply was sincere. if you want to be a big director go make some movies and show them to people. <BR/><BR/>There's no magic trick involved. If you have talent people will see and people will want to work with you. <BR/><BR/>the point of showing your work is to do that-get people interested in working with you. <BR/><BR/>"Say hi your mother for me too" was in fact meant to be a kiss off to him, because I don't read his question as serious and it's entirely possible that I am wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842104168403310590.post-56245530195884731472008-10-28T23:51:00.000-07:002008-10-28T23:51:00.000-07:00@ TomCertainly the right way to become a big direc...@ Tom<BR/><BR/>Certainly the right way to become a big director like David Fincher is doing pretty much what he has done: Shoot, shoot, shoot stuff. Music videos, commercials, short films, feature films. With every project you direct you (should) learn, and thus with every project you should get better.<BR/><BR/>Also, I believe it's important to watch as many movies as you can and analyze them: How are the scenes lit, shot, edited; what's the perspective, the lense and the movement of the camera; how are the scenes staged. Your personal taste will dictate which works of which directors you like and through analyzing and learning what they have done and WHY they have done it in a certain way, you will first learn the language of film, then -- once you get comfortable with that -- attain your own style.<BR/><BR/>Finally, if you want to be a director as big as Fincher you must prove a good hand in choosing the right material (screenplays, stories) and find the right tone and thematic angle to tackle them.<BR/><BR/>Because what made Fincher big? -- The oddity but brilliance of movies like SE7EN, THE GAME, FIGHT CLUB and ZODIAC.<BR/><BR/>Good luck to you... and everyone else with the same goal. -- We'll always need great movies!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842104168403310590.post-76260025318872712432008-10-28T14:17:00.000-07:002008-10-28T14:17:00.000-07:00That's a bit harsh kevin, 'innit?
