BUY THE BOOK - BACK TO THE BODY: Infusing Physical Life into Characters in Theatre and Film
amzn.to/3NPDI2Y
In this Film Courage video interview, Acting Coach and Specialist in the application of the Alexander Technique Jean-Louis Rodrigue shares how he assisted with the physical aspects of the roles of Leonardo DiCaprio in J. Edgar and Margot Robbie in I, Tonya, emphasizing the importance of actors immersing themselves in their characters and transforming not just through makeup and costume, but also in the way their bodies move. He likens the body to a musical instrument, with vibrations and variations of sound that can be harnessed for powerful performances. Rodrigue cautions against actors focusing too much on physical appearance, as it can limit their ability to express emotions and vulnerability.

Stuff we use:
LENS - Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important. This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner. Started using this lens at the end of 2013 - amzn.to/2tbtmOq
AUDIO
Rode VideoMic Pro - The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio. It also helps us sync up our audio in post amzn.to/425k5rG
Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - amzn.to/3WEuz0k
LIGHTS - Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light. We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times - amzn.to/2u5UnHv
