Glicker: IT MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO BE REDUCED TO A SINGLE SENTENCE,
BUT...
Shannon: LET ME SEE...
Pohlad: LET'S SEE. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF LESSONS.
Pederson: YOU KNOW, I'VE WORKED ON OVER 140 FILMS,
AND YOU THINK BY THAT POINT, YOU'VE DONE IT ALL,
SO THERE'S SOME FORMULA, AND THERE ISN'T.
Milani: THE BIGGEST LESSON I LEARNED IN MY CAREER
WAS HUMILITY,
AND...I THINK THAT HELPS YOU TO WORK WITH OTHERS.
Shannon: I REALLY TRY TO JUST ENJOY
WORKING WITH CREATIVE PEOPLE
AND JUST APPRECIATE HOW GREAT THAT IS IN LIFE
AND JUST ENJOY IT FOR WHAT IT IS, WHATEVER THE OUTCOME.
Morgen: WHEN YOU SURROUND YOURSELF
WITH THE HIGHEST-ECHELON PEOPLE, IT BRINGS OUT THE BEST IN YOU
AND REALLY CHALLENGES YOU TO DO YOUR BEST WORK.
Forbes: I'VE LEARNED HOW TO REDUCE
THE SUFFERING FROM THE FAILURES,
AND NOW I CAN KIND OF GET THAT OVER WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS.
Marshall: DON'T START SHOOTING
UNTIL YOU KNOW YOU HAVE YOUR SCRIPT THE WAY YOU WANT IT.
A LOT OF TIMES, WE BREAK THE RULE
BECAUSE OF OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES AND WE GO FORWARD,
AND SOMETIMES IT WORKS OUT, BUT MOST OFTEN, IT DOESN'T.
Glicker: MY CAREER AS A COSTUME DESIGNER
IS REALLY ABOUT HAVING THE COURAGE
TO FULLY IMMERSE MYSELF IN THINGS
THAT I'M NOT AWARE OF
AND HOW THAT REQUIRES ME TO BE REALLY HUMBLE
IN SERVICE OF THE STORY THAT I'M TELLING.
Alexander: I'VE REALLY LEARNED
TO TRY TO USE DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES,
USE MINIATURES, USE SPECIAL EFFECTS,
USE VISUAL EFFECTS, USE CGI,
BUT REALLY TRY TO KEEP THE AUDIENCE GUESSING
SO EVEN IF THEY KNOW THEY'RE LOOKING AT A VISUAL EFFECT,
THEY DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW HOW IT'S DONE.
Pederson: IT'S A CONSTANT LEARNING
AND A CONSTANT NEW CHALLENGE IN SOME WAYS,
SO I'VE GOT TO STAY INTERESTED AND LOOK FOR NEW WAYS
TO HELP DIRECTORS FIND WHAT THEY'VE LOOKING FOR.
Howard: I'VE SEEN MY DAD
GO THROUGH REALLY CHALLENGING MOMENTS IN HIS CAREER,
AND HAVING SEEN HIM NAVIGATE THOSE MOMENTS
AND FIND A WAY TO BE BETTERED BY THAT EXPERIENCE.
IT'S A FANTASTIC LESSON FOR ME.
Frankley: IN THE YEARS I'VE BEEN DOING THIS,
THE INDUSTRY'S HAD MANY UPS AND DOWNS.
BEEN TIMES OF DISCOURAGEMENT
AND THERE'S BEEN GREAT CELEBRATIONS,
BUT SORT OF TYING A CAREER TOGETHER
AND STAYING FOCUSED HAS BEEN PROBABLY THE BEST LESSON OF ALL.
Bongiovi: LIFE IS SO SHORT,
AND EVERY TIME YOU COMMIT TO A PROJECT,
TO DEVELOP IT, TO PRODUCE IT OVERALL,
IT'S ABOUT THREE TO FIVE YEARS OF YOUR LIFE MINIMUM,
SO REALLY TRUST YOUR GUT.
Pohlad: STICK WITH YOUR VISION, NOT STUBBORNLY
AND NOT WITHOUT CONSIDERING OTHER PEOPLE'S INPUT.
Niccol: IT'S VERY EASY
TO STOP LISTENING TO THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU ON A FILM SET
ALL TRYING TO TELL YOU WHAT TO DO,
BUT I'VE FOUND THAT IT'S BEST TO GO WITH YOUR GUT INSTINCT.
Mann: EVERY TIME I WAS ON A MOVIE SET
AND THE DIRECTOR WOULD BE SPEAKING TO ME,
I WOULD THINK IT WAS BECAUSE
I WAS DOING SOMETHING REALLY WRONG,
AND YOU CAN MAKE YOURSELF CRAZY THINKING THAT WAY.
AND YOU JUST HAVE TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
AND TRUST THAT YOU'RE THERE FOR A REASON
AND THAT YOU'RE THE RIGHT PERSON FOR THE JOB.
Arnold: EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE,
SOMETHING KIND OF AMAZING HAPPENS, AND YOU JUST --
BEST LESSON IS JUST TAKE THE NEXT BEST JOB YOU CAN
AND KEEP WORKING.
