“In the old days when I first was coming up, you would turn up on set in the morning with your coffee, script, and hangover and you would figure out what you were going to do with the day and how you were going to play the scenes. You would rehearse and then invite the crew in to watch the actors go through the scenes. The actors would go away to makeup and costume and the director and the DP would work out how they were going to cover what the actors had just done.” FirstsDonePlayTurnsActorsWatchesMorningFiguresSceneDirectorsScriptsWork OutCoffeeMakeupGoing AwayInvitesCrewCostumesOld DaysHangover Author:Paul Bettany
“I remember coming on my first set and it being a playground of things I wanted to ask questions about: cameras and lenses and what the lenses do, what's the focus puller doing and how does that work? Why is there less margin for error when there's less light? I was always asking questions and watching directors closely.” FirstsDoeLightWantedRememberAsksFocusDirectorsAskingCamerasErrorsLensesMarginsAsking QuestionsPlaygrounds Author:Paul Bettany
