Thank you for applying Welles' experience and legacy to important creative and life decisions. You did a fine job inspiring and motivating people, and also paid a terrific tribute to one of our most creative and important American talents. Onward!
Time is perceived to pass more slowly during youth because youth is largely regimented by school; school creates yearly landmarks, yearly boxes, with which we stuff our memories. You remember 1979 because you were in 4th grade and that's the year the Monkees TV show debuted. You remember 1986 because you were in 7th grade when your favorite team lost a heartbreaker in the championship; you remember 1993 because that's when your you were a junior in high school and your classmate stood at the blackboard and cussed out the chemistry teacher. By contrast, when if you don't have the artificial dividing lines of school you have monotony that is uninterrupted until it is. A life event creates the marker. The marker isn't created for you. So, if nothing new happens, the time is unremarkable and is perceived as passing more quickly.
The main creative lesson to be learned from Orson Welles in my opinion is simply to keep going. Accolades and audiences come and go, but he kept on working his entire life, furiously and tirelessly, because he apparently had a mandate from the cosmos to create filmic art at any cost. There was simply nothing else he could or wanted to do, and so he pushed on relentlessly making films until the day he died. It's a sad commentary on the taste of popular audiences and the film industry that almost all his time over his whole career was spent wheeling and dealing and begging producers for money rather than actually making films. But he made a great body of work and it's a shame that all the attention is given to Citizen Kane while films like The Trial, Chimes and Midnight, and F for Fake are so ignored. Keep on working and doing the good deed and let the recognition come later.
Great video man, congrats! It's cool to see things like this and be inspired by them. I know I am. I know I'll be a bit less rash and impatient the next time I "do something that takes forever and doesn't get me much". That doeasn't have a commercial purpose. Thanks for this. As Guillermo del Toro said, "The natural state of a film is "incomplete". Until you do it.
Very good and TRUE observations! I can't believe that i've made over 350 videos now (started just for fun and to keep track of gaming and various other things) but even within THAT (doing something OUT of your COMFORT zone), u still find maybe only 1 out of every 30 is really good! (To ur own standards i mean) It's a very very complicated thing/art form - coz it's so multi-faceted! Great vid!
The lesson is that the Hollywood establishment squashed one of its supreme talents and let him operate on the fringes of the film industry for DECADES, doing independent movies for pennies, like virtual masterpieces Touch of Evil or F for Fake. How can one expect to make it and have some professional perspective if Welles didnt?
Now if only current generations would take George Orwell seriously 😬 . .... coz i'm seeing EVERYTHING he warned us about in "animal farm" and "1984" HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!!! Manipulation and banning or certain words! Thought Police?.... Some ppl more equal than others.... u watch... it's a disaster when CENSORSHIP is normalised!
Yeah but part of why Welle's films took so long is because Hollywood screwed him over so hard ... feel like the moral here is he industry is not your friend.
If the powers that be completely blacklisted Orson Welles that would have not have been enough. They slowly tortured him by giving him just enough to start things.
As a new filmmaker, i think the first common mistake someone makes as a director is to assume that everyone in the team has the same frame composition and dialogue delivery you have in your head.
There are quite a few mistakes you make when you don't have experience as a team, as a director, etc. Before filming something important for a client though there are a few steps to go through: client brief, script, storyboard, locations, talent, schedule, crew, shotlist so everyone on the team can get in line with the same composition. But I agree, you can't assume everyone thinks like you :)
1:27 it ALWAYS takes forever when you’ve never done it before. Then when you’ve done it once, you find 1,000 ways the next time will be simpler. Do those things you’ve never done before, it will open doors you never knew existed. Orson is a personal hero of mine, thank you for posting about this incredible and seemingly forgotten genius who can teach us all even after he has taken his last breath. A True Legend. 🩵
@@CosminConstant thank you so much! Is there any additional latency because of that? I think that's the first monitor in that price-range that is bright and can do that. May pull a trigger on that one.
@@CosminConstant one last question - I see you're based in Romania. Where did you buy it in Europe? Or you did buy it in US? It's pretty hard to find in Europe.
It's infuriating that people continue to just say, "Oh yeah, Welles - the guy who made Citizen Kane and some other stuff." In reality, most of his work rivals or surpasses Kane, but it takes an intelligent audience to appreciate it.
this is actually a great message you made: everyone wants to be successful, but success is just a temporary fulfillment to cover up for our insecurity of being mediocre. people aren’t okay with the risk of failing, and thus afraid to do things for the sake of doing them for fun without it having to amount to anything profitable
i like your style. Your video is professional but laid back and relaxing and not fast, overcutted and over animated like the typical "youtube professionals" out there
Thank you, we each have our own style, we make it and grow it as we grow ourselves as professionals and as people… I think I’m starting to grow into my own. Hope to do many more like this, super glad you found this video interesting 🙏✌️
Before any major shoot I always used to color match the camera monitor with the Shimbol monitor. You do have some color settings that you can use on the Shimbol menu to adjust the temperature and tint so that they match. There were some differences by default between my Blackmagic display and the Shimbol monitor but I always adjusted the tint, contrast and temperature and matched them so I didn't have an issue after.
If you're talking about the bit depth I believe this is a 8bit display but if you're talking about the record function, it records up to 1080p, H.264 files at up to 60fps so that's around 6000 Kbps ✌
I just tried mine today for the heck of it and actually might get use to it. I was looking at getting a stream deck and thought if I could map my button on the Wacom it might be cool and today I did just that and it is pretty cool. I already use a Wacom for photo work and could never go back to a mouse working in Photoshop. Anyways I mapped my 5 button on the tablet and it is pretty cool. Also the Pen is way more precise..
