| How to relate to everyone on a set or in life by david | |
Creativity seems to be such a personal thing. But then, as a director, you have to work with a lot of different people and get them to do what you want. How do you relate to so many people at once?
When you work, you want a happy crew going down the road together. You need the ability to focus on things as a group. You need to concentrate on one thing at a time and not have a million different things distracting you. This capacity grows when people start practicing Transcendental Meditation and diving within.
There’s an expression: “Where the attention is, that becomes lively.” So when you focus on a thing, it’s almost as if you start it moving and vibrating. You say, “This is where we’re going to do today, this is where we are, and this is what we want to accomplish.” Then the work gets better and the group gets happier.
