“I love my situation as a spectator. The actors are only a little bit ahead of the audience. The audience discovers the episode when it's screened, but we actors only discover the episode when we get the script, two weeks ahead of shooting. Until then, we know nothing of the evolution of our characters.” KnowsLittlesTwoCharacterActorsBitsSituationAudienceWeekEvolutionLittle BitScriptsShootingEpisodesSpectatorsTwo Weeks Author:Richard Sammel
“The beauty of shooting on something that's not in front of an audience is that you can just cut out the times you're laughing. You can cut to the other person and try to use that moment, right before you break. There's an energy to those performances. There's a reason people were laughing. There was something very special. That little extra something was in that line delivery or in that improv, so you try to use that stuff.” PeopleTryingLittlesPersonsReasonMomentsUseEnergyStuffLinesBreakAudienceLaughingCuttingSpecialFrontsPerformancesShootingExtrasThat MomentDelivery Author:Ken Marino
“I think there's the element of the excitement of what I'm going to see, and with the special effects where you see men flying and walking through walls and shooting flame or whatever they do, especially the younger audiences, which make up a bulk of the moviegoers, they love that sort of thing.” ThinkingMenAudienceSpecialEffectsWallWalkingElementsFlyingShootingFlamesExcitementSpecial Effects Author:Stan Lee
“You always know when one of the first ["Harry Potter" movies] are on TV, because you'll get a text message from one of your friends saying, "How high was your voice?" It's like watching a home movie, in some sense. But you just remember because the audience sees the scenes as they're written, but we remember shooting [the scenes] and all the stories that came around it. Like the Quidditch World Cup in ["Harry Potter and the] Goblet of Fire," it's like the Glastonbury Festival at Leavesden [Studios].” KnowsWorldFirstsStoriesHomeRememberVoiceAudienceFireWrittenTvsSceneMessagesStudiosCupsShootingHarry PotterFestivalsPottersWorld CupText MessageHarry Potter MovieQuidditchGlastonbury Author:James Phelps
