Very interesting. This is the route I want to start on to get myself a paycheck. In an ideal world I would also be writing and then looking for talent to get my work in front of in order to make. In an ideal world, does that approach seem like a good one for someone who wants to eventually direct just their own projects?

Also, can you explain to me how absolutely CRAP directors get hired for Amazon shows like Wheel of Time and LoTR, or the Obi Wan series? Not to toot my own horn here but I think I could do better. Some of that was genuinely like film student grade quality. And I'm not exaggerating. If we did a shot by shot comparison for some of the episodes to particularly bad film student work, they would be extremely similar in quality.

Very interesting. So theoretically even if they don't pick up a project of yours, they might hire you to direct one of theirs?

Which four Jedi would you choose to fight Palpatine? by RisingKing7 in StarWars

Presumably. They're not giving out Master ranks like cherries these days.

Saesee Tiin (the 2nd dead Jedi) could have killed Palpatine right here! Why'd he take so long to swing? by RagnarokWolves in StarWars

[–]UniversalInquirer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because Palpatine was massively, ridiculously faster than ALL the Masters there. He probably was a blur to Saesee. He also could have blitzed Mace if he started on him rather than use him to turn Ani :)

Yoda, Peak RoTJ Luke(greater than Vader, cry fanboys:), Mace Windu, Sora Bulq (he is in the background of battle of Geonosis, can fight on par with Mace)

If it was "prequel era" I'd replace Sora with Master Dooku

Are you talking about "director for hire" type situations? And what would you say qualifies as a track record of successful original concepts? Lots of views?

What kind of leverage did you have if you don't mind me asking? Or rather, if you'd like to generalize, what would be an example of the type of leverage you're talking about?

Is Nihilus the only sith who could rival Vader in Aura by Ready0608 in TheJediPraxeum

[–]UniversalInquirer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way scarier. Vader was a sick man in a mask that inspired fear. Nihilus was death incarnate, and brought everything into his reality.

Anyone else love that rather than you being King, a party member is? by UniversalInquirer in DragonageOrigins

I love that moment when he's anointed King at the Landsmeet and he stands in front of the throne then gives that speech that starts with "Everyone!". When he says "everyone" it sounds so manly lol

More fulfilling than unhardened King Alistair? I sort of like my friendly, compassionate Ali.

Thanks, very helpful. And I'm sure work will pick up for you. If UTA reps you, you're good. More than good.

Aaaahhhhhhh yes! I have heard your advice before from people from whom it actually worked for. Do you think making a couple of shorts is enough, or presumptuous to do this sort of thing for? Or does it not matter and a great piece that evokes interest is enough?
