James Cameron On How To Be A Filmmaker

From FilmmakerIQ:

Pick up a camera. Shoot something. No matter how small, no matter how cheesy, no matter whether your friends and your sister star in it. Put your name on it as director. Everything after that you're just negotiating your budget and your fee.

Akira Kurosawa on Why He Keeps Working

From FilmmakerIQ:

Movie directors, or should I say people who create things, are very greedy and can never be satisfied ... That's why they can keep on working. I've been able to work for so long because I think next time, I'll make something good.

Why Camera Flame Wars Will Not Make You A Better Filmmaker

Article at Filmmaker IQ

From the article:


Technology can only progress so far. It will get better but not at this astounding pace we’ve seen in the last 5 years. Now we are entering a perfect storm of social propaganda that threatens to enslave us in a never ending [camera] consumer cycle and it has nothing to do making films or making films better. 
For 95% of video applications, what is currently available on the market and affordable to most people is “good enough”.  For the remainder 5% of projects there are a myriad of options available for rent. And yet I keep reading comments like “I’ve been asking for a camera that does x, y, z” or “This camera is crap because it can’t do 60p” or “Z Camera company is finally listening to their customers.” 
Bullshit. No camera is holding you back. 
You are holding yourself back.
