That was cool. Clearly the director needs to get inside the actor's head by either watching what they have done before on having in-depth conversations with them.
That was so helpful. I'm a soon-to-be brand new director and any info I can get to make my talent more comfortable is great.

its amazing how many of these points also trickle over into Design. Your Costume Designer, Production Designer, Lighting etc. we ALL need useful guidance and validation. We all do the work, get into "the zone" and want to make your vision stand out and reality. Its not just clothes, lights, or smudge on a face, this is our art we use to make your dream real! Never forget that, and when we succeed, let us know.

I've been a director for a while now, and my shoots (with only one exception over the years and it was my blame as I casted incorrectly - but I learned from the experience) the actors and crew are always joyful and happy. I am always complemented about how much fun they have. The reason is because I am prepared, give them concise directions and always without exception mutual respect is always first and laughter between takes is a given! I am a combo director/good mom. It works! I truly love working with actors. I appreciate how they have to completely give over all of their emotions to work on my projects. I have great respect for that. Good job every body!
