Michael LaVoie Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Hire name actors and a career 1st A.D. Also they can make sure there's a budget big enough for what they want to do. Line up those 3 elements and we're off to a great start! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Brereton Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Be prepared. Don't try to 'wing it'. Be able to communicate. Understand that it's not just your actors that need Direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not an illogical strategy, but it also simply isn't a feasible one for many people's projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
