The Robert Rodriguez: 10 Minute Film School (The 1st & Original)

Robert Rodriguez: Ten Minute Film School (1993)

Taken From "Moving Pictures".
Director: Philip Day
Writer: Philip Day
Stars: Philip Day, Dermott O'Leary and Robert Rodriguez.
Original Air Date: 1993

"Moving Pictures" was a television series devoted to film that aired on BBC 2 (United Kingdom) from 1991 to 1996. It was presented by Rock Follies screenwriter Howard Schuman.
Each program was composed of several short films on different cinematic subjects and not necessarily on current releases. Although it never achieved high ratings, "Moving Pictures" was frequently used to teach film studies. Interviewed on the set of Pulp Fiction, Quentin Tarantino told John Travolta it was the best show about movies on television. Director Mike Figgis credited a film about himself with salvaging his career after it showed the other side of the story regarding the making of his film Mr. Jones.
The series finished in 1996, largely due to the huge cost of paying for film clips.

This episode gives movie maverick, Robert Rodriguez, the opportunity to teach a class of film students everything there is to know about filmmaking in just ten minutes. This is the first of the '10 minute film school' segments that Robert Rodriguez does for all his films. This video was broadcasted in 1993. If anyone have a better picture image of this video please contact me. Watch and learn. Thanks.

I wonder how many of those listening guys made a proper film after such a shocking speech.

[HIRExUP]

"don't dream about being a film maker you are a film maker"

Wow. that inspires me to git off my butt and do something. instead of sitting around

saying i wish i could do that or be that. grab a camera and go shoot. we live in a

digital world and shooting is cheeper then ever.

[Denton Williams]

I spent three years in university studying film and video and I've just learned 1,000 times more about filmmaking in those 10 minutes than I ever did in those three years at university! That is why I love Rodriguez no BS, straight to the point :)

[Matt Loftus]

[MrAlexiv14]

yeah I know. My comment is a reply to the user "3rdWorldRevolution" who asked how Tarantino became a filmmaker...

[Matt Loftus]

That was Quentin Tarrantino not rodriguez

[Matt Loftus]

this is amazing!!!

[Alex Youngen]

Damn, this is 90s.

This was made in 1993 and a lot of the ideas and techniques of modern micro budget film making came from Rodriguez's methods. Seems "simplistic" now but what he was doing back then was pretty unusual.
