Friday, May 02, 2008 How to direct a blockbuster... POST A COMMENT Another Day, another Iron Man clip to build up the hype-machine. This new one's called "Flight Stabilizer" - which can also be seen with interesting commentary from the films director Jon Favreau, (who has been keeping fans very informed). As Favreau explains (over on Yahoo with his directors commentary on this same clip) -- "This is part of additional footage..." - shot later, after they wrapped. Which, from my own experiences directing, offers the best building blocks to great filmmaking. I believe the key to good directing is a constant checks and balance approach: whereby incorporating "on-set improv," - and "adding layers on set" to scripted ideas (and then again taking a fresh look in post)...and then going back out, after watching the footage, to shoot new stuff; For a multi-layered effect.
