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.

everything is incidental except money and time. You need to make something that adheres to that but thats fine .... THINK POSITIVE

1. "The sign above the door had neon letters that flashed red and green like fingers reaching out to grab anyone who was ever fascinated by colors".

S.O.T.M.

I wish that were hoes. God damn that quote would have been 600% more.

@PkrBarMovie Hi brother, it's not going to be easy but what you can do is find two artists in your city and shoot their music video for free...just to show what you can do. Then take those two music videos and shop for more Artists...use the free videos as your demo reel. Keep it low priced for now till you build up at least 5 clients then push up your price. If you do good job, your name should start floating around. Make sure you are good to your clients that's how you keep them loyal to you.

@guguemichaels Thank you man! Last question (please!), how do you think I can find work directing music videos or commercials? I do not have any experience, but have worked as a cameraman and as an editor.

@PkrBarMovie Hi bro, I started out making music videos for my artists. I had a record label 1997..then from there it grew. I shot my first movie in 1998..then people started noticing my video work and started hiring me to direct for them...that's really how I got started. I hope it helps...thanks brethren.I wish you much success...
