Robert Rodriguez

You don't know what's going to be a Pulp Fiction and what's going to be a Jackie Brown. What's going to be, you know, you don't know. And you'd like to think they know, but they don't know either. They feel it. Like I asked Jim Cameron, I said, do you see your movie really clearly? Like, can you see it like with, with hyper-focus? Cause it seems like that. And he goes, it's like really far.

It's out of focus. And you work on it and you work on it. It starts coming. I said, okay, good. So that's, that's normal. I thought maybe he had laser vision or something, but no, even him, he doesn't really know, but he feels that he can make decisions and he understands everything. what a creative drive is and how to just keep being relentless about it.

But it's not like they have all the proximity is huge. Proximity will change your life. Did for me, just being around those guys, they didn't teach me, Hey, I'm gonna teach you how to make a movie. Just being next to them, being in their world, just ups your game. and you're able to do things you weren't able to do before. You get ideas you didn't get to do before.

I'll show you one of my painting things. You're not going to believe this freaking thing. I had a painter friend in Germany, Sebastian Kruger. He gives a workshop once a year. I thought, I'm going to go there, and I bet I'll learn more about directing by watching this guy paint than I will by watching another director, because that's just now I know how creativity works.

You're going to learn lessons outside of the box by doing that. And I tried to practice before going out there. I was doing a Danny Trejo. I'll show you the before and after. You're not gonna freaking believe what you see. But this is, it really tells a story of how important proximity is. So I'm, I do this painting. It's like, ah, it looks garbage. I'll show you. It looks like garbage.

I'm not used. I can't do paintings that are just like, see, you never should say I can't just cut your leg off, but I couldn't at the time paint, just paint brush into paint and then write on the canvas like that without using some kind of medium. which this guy Sebastian Kruger would do. So first I did a digital painting of Danny Trejo, like just to get the framing and all that.

And then I- That's just like, that's like on a Wacom tablet. But then I did it with paint and it's like, oh, it's all cruddy and it's too thick, the paint. And it just looks, it looks, and I just gave up right away. I went, I was trying to pre-practice so I wouldn't be a total buffoon there. Cause I was going the next week and I thought he's using a different brush, obviously.
