"DONT PAY ATTENTION TO THE INDUSTRY. DO UR OWN THING" Best damn advice ever!
Codename Diva the industry is already dying anyways lol
The industry is full of easily made and written movies who all follow the same storyline to a tee. This is is really easy to see in the action genre. Instead of having a movie with a interesting story it’s all movies made to draw in people for the action itself.
Even better than yout mom's advices??
Smh
@@jrviade85 Least his mom stuck around.
Yes, but when you actually do things instead of just bluntly rejecting the knowledge gathering
'They can't tell you how to make movies, you have to have it in you'
That quote says it tall.
Same goes for anything. This advice aint special
Same goes for everything in life
Like writing a song you can learn music and composition but if you don't have it in you you will never write a song
Most of the best songwriters never took music lessons lol
He's still young inside. You can tell. Nice guy.
savedfaves you can tell by the movies as well
More like a wise guy.
A goodfella if you would
Khaled74 🥁
Yea hes just sharp and switched on still, due to his line of work most likely.
I did my own industry. My film was seen by mom and two friends (who acted in film). I even got an award from mom. A piece of cake.
Congratulations on your award winning film! I am going to your channel now to enjoy your work. 😊
scorsese talks but 0 advice in it
So wholesome for no reason
@@lovv.profileyou can't discern an advice when it shows itself in front of you.
That's good. Buddy . Now on to the next feature. Keep churning them out.
I wish the universe would grant Scorsese another 100 years of youth and vigor, as we need another 100 years of his movies and wisdom
So true and I really love him . I really do adore him and I hate to see him looking so old sometimes..... we don't know how much time we have left with him... it makes me sad . Still , he's a very cute old guy
I went to one of the best film schools in the country. My best advice. Story...story...story. If you can't write a good script...do documentary. It's just as powerful. And don't be afraid to steal from the masters. You can break the rules...but first you have to learn them.
@Prabhjot kaur No. You can direct anyone's script. If you write and direct your own script then it is an easier process in directing because you already know your own story like the back of your hand.
hello there do you think it is necessary to go to film school?
@@orhanersan3943 No. Absolutely not. Just watch and study the best films. Citizen Kane will teach you everything you need to know about editing and three act structure of a film.
@@zombiegrease72 thank you for the tips man wish you the best of luck with your career 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Hi, which movies u advice me most to watch in order to make a good movies?
Genius filmmaker!
He's talking to an English/British person and he says "it doesn't have to cost 100 million POUNDS." I love that he used the local currency to make his point and didn't say dollars.
I noticed that too. The guy has class.
@@dbdb9334 Glad someone else noticed.
yes v true. he also said films rather than the US movies or pictures
@@lancasterpictures6951 well spotted
@@lancasterpictures6951 he’s always done that because that’s just how he thinks of them and how he thinks they should be referred. It is greater weight than “movies”. I was watching after hours the other day and even there when they were discussing seeing a movie they exclusively called it a film.
Finally an old master who doesn't curse and wish away the new ways of film making.
yup, he wish he could just wish away his feelings hahaha
@@freudbrahms254 what does it mean that he wishes he could wish away his feelings
Yet some assholes think he's an old square who thinks too much of himself.
I was about to bring up what he said about marvel, but he didn't rly criticize it. He just said he wasn't into it.
Sheeps that are criticizing him for his opinions on Marvel don't even know what his opinions on Marvel are, they are just headline readers. He, very eloquently gave some very constructive criticism. You can be a fan of Marvel and still agree that those films are formulaic, bland and hollow experiences.
Make your own industry. Answer to my question!! Really inspiring!!
I agree with him all the way if more Black and minority people stepped up to do everything Hollywood does or haven't been done.
He’s truly a godfather of film and I’m happy to be alive to witness what impact he is making, real time. I’m happy he’s not history yet and he’s still alive to be a real influence on me.
I feel so weirdly connected to Marty.
It's because he's so down-to-earth he has a way of making you feel like you personally know him because he's not pretentious and he doesn't have a big ego
The film God has spoken!
STARKIDDJAY172 smirks
2:13 he mentions Ealing Studios, that's where my parents met :)
SID..! 😆 And wow.. lol they are both filmmakers..?
hey Richard, fancy seeing you here! My dad was a film editor and my mum worked in the film department planning which crew would come along.
I love how he talks about industry, but I think that also applies for film school and the indie films sector. I see my classmates trying too hard to make movies like "In mood for love" or "Drive my car", but I just feel something odd, like they are doing something they really are not feeling at all, like if they thought they have to make that kind of cinema to become someone
This is highly intellectual advice indeed. It's not about the equipment, technology, preferences of audiences, and how things are being done in the past but how given the possibilities available today will you be able to tell the story.
Through and through, THE MASTER....and supremely nail-hitting advice.
I know probably everyone has this dream, but I hope I can make at least one film Scorsese sees.
I'm in the same boat 😅
When they say Young guys,...they mean any of us old guys who still aren't done tryin.
Fucking love Scorsese. He really loves movies and never changes. 100 more my friend.
Advice not given in this interview: spend time making the audio great. Nothing ruins a project - nor marks it as amateurish/makes it unwatchable - like poor sound. Record double-system - do not use the mic in a camera.
pegbars Amen! Shaky or dark Images, out focus are Not a big thing. Audio is Not forgivable
pegbars i agree 100%
Yeah I totally agree with you and nothing drives me nuts like shitty audio it can be downright irritating .
Somebody should tell Christopher Nollan.
Who killed captain Alex has poor audio and it’s super entertaining
This advice can be applied to video gaming as well. Lately I've been been thinking about what game design possibilities did we miss out on from previous generations because developers didn't maximize the potential of the tech at the time?
In the realm outside of AAA gaming, it's all free reign for the aspiring game designer. I'd love to play a modern video game with N64 graphics.
The irony of what you said about filmmaking is we can't make film on film anymore and there's a particular quality and look to real film opposed to high definition digital fake image
... It's sad we don't have an option
Yup...it's like artists of 500 years ago had what they had (paint, ink, paper, marble, music, whatever...)....100 years ago, film came along....now it's digital...people use what's available to express themselves, that's as simple as it is :)
exactly
Mismatchman you think that’s necessary?
Thank you for this video! :)
He's a Great man! Phenomenal Artist!
Man, this guy is among many things savvy.
he makes it sound easier than it is
Sergio Leone - Akira Kurosawa - Martin Scorsese
The greatest directors!
I prefer Kubrick, but Kurosawa is a genius.
I have only acted barely. I feel so many more important stories need to be told. I would like to be a part of this challenge.
Thank you Martin Scorsese🏙
Thanks Marty!
top 3 directors of all time, Raging Bull is a masterpiece
tarkovsky > scorsese
@@PinoyAbnoy tarkovsky never made a film as enjoyable as a classic scorsese im sorry
@@Mr-ep2qi scorsese's films are obviously more enjoyable/entertaining cus of violence.. its like a a catchy pop songs compared to non catchy pop songs
@@PinoyAbnoy You used the symbol wrong. I reckon Scorsese is better than Tarkovsky.
But you should have put;
Tarkovsky < Scorsese.
@@PinoyAbnoy it's not really fair to compare the two of them. Tarkovsky makes more poetic movies while Scorsese flicks in general tend to be more chaotic and have more shock value. You just compared both of them because you wanted to be edgy and a contrarian in addition to displaying "look i watch foreign and exotic movies so i must be smart"
I knew he wasn't going to answer the second question with only one film.
Andrew Munro how could anyone really? So many stories can mean so much in so many ways.
if you only have one favorite film, you haven't seen enough films
Thank you
The Legend *************
Great Advice. Thanks.
As a film-director was one of the best advices I ever heard.
The greatest to ever do it, a true standup man; a good fella.
Very nice , very nicely done .
A wise guy
So much important information in just 4 minutes.
Nice that you gave a shoutout to Hague Manoogian.
Yep. Honestly, I get sick of seeing interviews with Hollywood producers who give advice about getting into the film industry. I've heard so many of them say how you need to work for free, how you have to be prepared to kiss the a*ses of those working above you to (maybe) get a job and gain this mythical 'experience' they speak so much about.
Obviously one has to work hard, that's true with anything. But still, there are many opportunities out there nowadays. I get that Scorsese's advice is targeted more at Directors or writers, but I do wonder how many future film editors or sound designers are currently working doing UA-cam videos.
2:45 Prophetically useful advice from a master. :)
I just felt good to see how smilies were used 7 yrs ago... :)
Rare footage of Scorsese speaking at normal speed.
thanks pop.
Martin is number 1👑
With the cost of digital recording collapsing around Mirrorless DSLRs and LED lighting and ProRes RAW and distribution over UA-cam, Vimo and whatever host you can click to... it’s really within reach of anyone with a good idea and commitment.
The music at the end is from Terminator 2
Yes he's very very good... Thanks.
Thanks
"Make your own industry"
You got it.
Martin Scorsese, you the best!
Best advice, make your own industry...
fail now, for to learn from failure is a great thing
I know I've got to get it done. I just can't find anyone to help me get it done.
Need help?
I know what you mean.
I Understand, ive been there many,many,times and some walk away without footage they owe you and the cast, only happened twice, keep your head up!, Manifesting works!!, Stay Focus!!, Stay positive Have Faith!!, Believe in yourself and never ever forget, you are not alone!!. Best Wishes into finding your creative Army!.
If you’re really passionate, you’ll find a way; because, it’s something you truly want to do.
That’s what separates the doers from the donts.
Lets work
Does anyone know what films and filmmakers he’s referencing after he mentions British films? I’m trying to search for them but I don’t think I’m spelling anything correctly
This guy is a genius
it’s good wisdom
Maybe it’s the glasses but I can’t not think of the old guy from Up now..
God damn it now I can’t unsee it
Super
Inspiring! Now I feel like buying champagne and tissues, for some reason.
0:13 me when the teacher calls on me in class to answer a math question
If you continue to hear all the masters, all the really important filmmakers of our time, like Scorsese, Scott, Nolan... all of them, they tell you the same, just fu·"% do it. No matter what, how, do it. Nowadays we have cameras even on our phones that are 100 times better that some cameras in the 60s or 70s. There is no excuse.
Careful what you advise, marty
one of these days I will be doing a new film industry .
godawar with you there buddy
I think my husband was associated with Greeks, so the Drama Track.
"They can't tell you how to make the movie.. You have to have it in you." - #MartinScorsese
You always have to be wholesome and excellent. For Greeks.
I have seen 100s of film lectures and masterclass of directors , actors and writers. I learnt nothing from them. They inspired me to do it but taught me nothing. And then I went ahead and shot 10 minutes of footage in 6 hrs with 4 of my friends and a guy who had a dslr. I wrote the script and they all worked for free by their own will. We had no food on set and worked nonstop without breaks. Needless to say the end product looked like an introductory clip to a cancelled pilot. But everything I know about filmmaking or production or anything really came from the experience and not from UA-cam.
The best way to learn is to do.
Your first film is never going to be good. Every film director made films as a young adult then will NEVER show to anyone because of how embarrassing it is. Remember that and realize that very few directors are “genius” right at the start. Filming is a culmination of skills you have learned over your career.
The way he keeps looking at the camera is slightly unnerving. It's like I'm sitting there pointing a gun at him during the interview, and he's glancing to see if I'm pleased by his answers.
Marty your a G
1. Have a script that is poorly written in 2 weeks.
2. Craigslist ad for 'Cinematographer' yet only want them because they own a camera. Pay them credit only.
3. Hire a fat person that says they do makeup, when they really just have a makeup kit from Kmart. Pay them credit only.
4. Promise everybody the moon and future work. Never call them again.
5. Shoot the movie without permits so crucial scenes can't be filmed cause it got shut down. Final project is not watchable.
6. Hire editor because they own an apple laptop and know nothing about editing.
7. Audio. Are you kidding me?
8. Say budget is 50k but only takes 10k to make. Profit the rest.
9. Crafty - mcdonalds runs at 3am.
10. 15-20hr days for no pay. PROFIT.
Sounds like a great plan.
The fuck did I just read?
@@princekyle4132 lol
I just had war flash backs from living in LA
Wait, where does the 50k come from?
Greg sestero to Tommy wiseau: I wish we can just make our own movie. Tommy: that great idea! :)
Think big. Now, think bigger.
Marty: To put this in laymans terms on my advice to beginners on making the best damn movies ever is always hire de niro, pesci & decaprio for your movies. Because as long as they act in your movies it's fucking awesome! And make sure they curse a lot and there's a lot of violence and killings. 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
No insult to marty's intelligence. Just a complimentary joke for marty. I love all his movies!
Scorsese is a god.
Realist shit ever
Is the background like photoshopped in or green screen? Or am I tripping the fuck out?
Green screen, I think you're right
Thanks Mr. Scorsese, reverse psychology would have worked either but thank you.
🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏
I think I've just realized why Buffet invested in Coke
Ruth Bader Ginsburg 's long lost Italian brother.
"You Can Do Anything, Make Your Own Industry" Yeah right. Easier said than done
Is great advice and he is a hardworking genius, but boomers had many more options when they started than todays youth.
2:45 - 2:53
Like Casey Neistat.
STEM probably represents Assigned-Latin people.
I can't believe there's a box of kleenex in the shot... not a mistake the interviewee would ever make.
Greeks' pain is SO much more painful and lasting-40-years-probably.
I don't agree with him on Marvel not being cinema but I respect his work.
True Story: A few years ago, a friend of mine who has been shooting films all over the world for years, everything you can think of, related that a young director friend of his, won some sort of monetary prize sponsored via Scorsese's company and saw Scorsese at some festival. He decided to walk up and introduce himself to Scorsese and thank him, though someone there had cautioned him against it because Scorsese was a very temperamental and unpredictable man with a bad temper.
Nonetheless, he felt thanking the director was the right thing to do. So during a break, he walked up past the crowds and introduced himself by name and explained who he was.
He said the Scorsese immediately flew into a rage and the result of simply thanking him, that Scorsese managed to have the monetary prize removed. That's the sort of bastard Scorsese is in real life. So many of these directors are borderline sociopaths and bs artists when the cameras are not on, and Scorsese is probably high at the top of this list of directors who are just real dickheads.
this great man make it always looks simple and clean not like some cynical complicated fucks godard also make it look fun !
Hollywood wouldn't like the movie if there isn't enough DiVeRsiTy
what is that ridiculous shot
Is that Martin Scorsese or Woody Allen?? LOL
Don't take any advice from geniuses. They don't know how hard it is for those who aren't them. That "follow your dream" mentality may lead you into a spiral of disappointment and wasted decades of your life. Water it down with realism.
that depends on how you define success.
