Film directors and their crew discuss the techniques and approaches to capturing fruitiness on the big (and small) screen...
John Badham has written a couple of excellent books where he passed on advice about directing movies, and the lessons he's learned across his own career. In the latest, John Badham On Directing, he raises the spectre of filming sex scenes, and the problems that ensue.
Actors get really spooked when it comes to intimacy in a scene, even kissing", he wrote. "This is where the director has to be extremely patient with the actors and know that the emotional or intimate part of scenes don’t always shoot as easily as the production department thinks they should. The actors are not robots on a Toyota assembly line".
But just how do different filmmakers approach putting intimacy on film? In lots of different ways, is the answer...

Last month, Dark Sky Films and Xyz Films announced the production of an historic film: Xx, the first horror anthology written and directed entirely by women. Filmmaker Jovanka Vuckovic is one of the directors on this trail-blazing film - and she's in good company. The other segments will be directed by Jennifer Lynch (Boxing Helena, Surveillance), Mary Harron (I Shot Andy Warhol, American Psycho), Karyn Kusama (Girlfight, Jennifer's Body), and Jen and Sylvia Soska (Dead Hooker In A Trunk, American Mary), with opening credits and interstitials by stop-motion animator Sofia Carrillo. Vuckovic, who is also serving as associate producer on Xx, is a former visual effects artist with a heavy pedigree in the horror genre (she was the editor of Rue Morgue Magazine and has written two non-fiction books about horror). She developed the project with Todd Brown of Xyz Films to help female filmmakers gain more exposure in the genre.

Thanks to our key cast and their broad networks of friends we had lots of enthusiastic and hopeful actors asking to join our slightly-left-of-field project. Names, numbers and emails were collected. It was time to start lining up the actors names with character’s names. But that meant that we had to… can barely say it… hold auditions.
I can hear your question loud and clear, “Aren’t auditions standard practice when making a movie?”. Sure they are if you’re a Producer or a Director. As a Dop I had managed to avoid this awkward must of pre-production, leaving the difficult decisions to the powers that be. Actors are a wonderful part of being a Cinematographer. They are friends on a fun-filled journey who you never have to worry about – that’s the Director’s problem. No matter how rocky the film-boat may get actors rarely have a bad...

Andrew Stanton's first live-action film, John Carter, will be released next week, and it will show us if he's got what it takes to make the jump from animation. Before John Carter he worked on several Pixar films such as Toy Story 1-3, Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc. and Wall-e. The guy has proved he's talented and a great storyteller, and we'll soon find out if his style translates to live-action effectively.
The writer and director recently gave a presentation at the TED2012 Conference and talked about "The Clues to a Great Story." You can watch his presentation below, and I have to tell you it's worth it, he's fun to listen to.
He takes to the TED2012 stage and starts with a bang: telling a long-winded, accent-strewn, expletive-filled joke that promptly sets the crowd on fire. Storytelling, you see, is joke-telling. And now he continues to challenge himself to...

HollywoodNews.com: Newly released talk from John Carter Director Andrew Stanton discussing his life in story last week in Long Beach, CA.
Andrew Stanton is the writer behind the three hugely successful Pixar Toy Story movies as well as the writer and director of Wall-e, the opening sequence of which will go down in, well, my personal history as being one of the most beautiful animation pieces of all time. His new live action movie, John Carter, comes out in March. He takes to the TED2012 stage and starts with a bang: telling a long-winded, accent-strewn, expletive-filled joke that promptly sets the crowd on fire. Storytelling, you see, is joke-telling. And now he continues to challenge himself to see if he can accord his own greatest storytelling commandment–”make me care”–by telling us his own life story … backwards.
“And that’s what ultimately led me to talking about story here at Ted.
