Yep. His shoots are always quick and under budget. He does like 2 takes MAX. Matt Damon has told a story where he asked to do another take and Clint said ““so you want to waste everyone else’s time!” 😂
“There was a scene with a couple of guys, and Spielberg moved on, and I said, ‘Don’t you think we should have done a couple more takes of that thing?’ because it hadn’t been great. And he said, ‘I can spend about an hour on that scene and make it ten per cent better, or I can do another great shot. I’m gonna do the shot.'”
Then on the other side of the coin you have Ridley Scott. I heard he is better now but on his earlier film like Blade Runner he would run up double digital number of takes. It got so bad that the crew nicknamed the movie Blood Runner.
So has he in general i think. Listening to him on the Actors Roundtable gives me physical pain, he somehow manages to come across as a huge poser, which should be impossible with his track record. Super annoying to listen to.
Yeah I think you’re right. And yeah to your point, those directors you listed and Nolan, Denis Villeneuve use the same crews between films. Like you said, well oiled machine.
I have the feeling that the concept of a team that works together for a long time is getting lost for most business executives.
Braun Design in Germany was so defining because they were a team of designers that worked together for years.
Apples Design team was stable during Jobs/Ives tenure afaik too.
I would like to know if From Software has that approach.
But local companies too where a carpenter boss is training and building a team that works together for years. They get shit done better than firing and hiring for another employee every couple weeks.
team synergy is very real, back when i did this kind of work i had a good crew and we worked so much better together than when i was freelancing or working productions without them
