Director Dissection

This was 15 tips to be a better director.
1. Give clear directions
 2. The script isn't scripture
 3. Learn other styles to find yours
 4. Don't rush
 5. Don't be vague on what you need done
 6. Friends make things easier
 7. Viewfinders make thing way easier
 8. Time management
 9. Keep things calm
 10. Be nourished
 11. Don't stress over equipment
 12. Don't be a turd
 13. Actors need motivation
 14. Respect the actors' process, or pretend they're Nicolas Cage
 15 Don't tarry
Pretty straight forward, I like it.


Overall this is pretty useful. It is a bit repetitive but the ideas of politeness, pacing, and the like. It's more about the build up to shooting, rather than the shooting itself.
