    Fixing The Acting In Police Drama - Brendan Hughes - Brandon Galatz

    Amazing directing exercise where we figure out what to say to the actors in a scene that isn’t quite working. The scariest feeling for a film director is dead air in a scene. Everyone can feel it isn’t working, and you don’t know what the problem is or even what to say to the actors. We’re joined by director Brendan Hughes and actor Brandon Galatz as we work through a scene that has promise, but that currently isn’t working. The scene is from a short “Just Cops” from a 168 hour film project.

    Outlining A Prison Dream Story - Tom Vaughan - Tristan Ofield

    Story guru Tom Vaughan helps outline a story based on a prison dream. The short story (by Per Holmes) is a decent idea, but it has unclear motivations and very little character evolution.

    Camera Blocking A War Comedy Scene - Marcus Stokes - Tristan Ofield

    TV director Marcus Stokes helps us do the camera blocking on an episode of a web series developed by UK director Tristan Ofield. This is a 4 page scene, so we need to find a way to make the camera work interesting, or the scene could feel excruciatingly slow. We also discuss how shooting multiple cameras keeps the actors from burning out, and how to make the acting more interesting.   SHOW LINKS Marcus Stokes IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1684548/ Tristan Ofield IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3138635/   OTHER WAYS TO WATCH/LISTEN: Show Website: https://www.hollywoodcamerawork.com YouTube: https://youtu.be/DQsKDaVI1EY Indie Film Hustle TV: https://www.indiefilmhustle.tv Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/prep-show/id1516200606 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/421oliun8XF0NKJulo7UEa Download MP3 Audio: https://prepshow.podbean.com/mf/play/sjv5qk/Prep_Show_Blocking_A_War_Comedy_Scene_Tristan_Ofield_Marcus_Stokes_1_b671c.mp3   CONNECT: Facebook: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HollywoodCameraWork Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/HollywoodCamera Web: https://www.hollywoodcamerawork.com   EPISODE OUTLINE: 0:00 - Intro 1:19 - About The Project 10:47 - The original blocking 23:59 - The new blocking 1:05:05 - Concluding the scene 1:07:31 - Making acting interesting 1:19:36 - Final thoughts

    Directing Movie Stars - John Badham

    Legendary director John Badham (Saturday Night Fever, Wargames, Supernatural) talks with Per Holmes about directing movie stars. How are stars different from “normal” actors?
