“If you do really good storytelling, things that people also might anticipate and that they might have seen before - there's a reason we go back to stories that we love - so, even if there is a familiarity, if you can do it a different way and hopefully do it well enough, you actually feel the satisfaction of that anticipation given back to you.” PeopleIfsWayFeelsWellsDifferentReasonEnoughStoriesMightGivenCan DoSatisfactionStorytellingHopefullyDifferent WaysAnticipationYou Can Do ItFamiliarityAnticipateGood Storytelling Author:Kimberly Peirce
“You try to do as much as you can on set because practical looks cool and practical looks great. Until you get to a point where the reality is you look at it - and I went through this in my last movie which was a war film, which my brother fought in Iraq and I did a ton of research and as much as I could made it documentary-like - and then at some point on set, the reality is somebody says to you, "You know, you can use a real squib and you can have three hours of clean up and you can lose five shots or we can do that blood explosion in post and you can get those five extra shots."” KnowsTryingLooksMadeWarRealUseRealityLastsFilmThreeCan DoHoursLosesFiveBloodBrotherResearchShotsCleanIraqPracticalsMade ItPostsMy BrotherExtrasDocumentariesExplosions Author:Kimberly Peirce
