“When I got the camera on the shoulder, they give me a nickname. They call me 'the tripod' because I'm kind of short and kind of strong. So if I take the camera and I lock myself, you think that you're on a crane.” IfsThinkingGivingKindStrongGive MeCamerasShouldersCall MeLocksNicknamesCranesTripods Author:Luc Besson
“Working in 3D I didn't experience much of a difference, except that the cameras are very big so they can't be moved around with as much ease. It was more like, when you've seen photos of cameras from the 1930s being moved around with these huge cranes. So there was something quite sort of old-fashioned about it almost.” BigsDifferencesHugeCamerasMovedEaseOld Fashioned1930sCranes Author:James Frain
“In the first season (of 'Californication'), when we had the threesome with the nipple clamps, I was, like, 'I don't get this, I don't know how you're gonna do it.' And then, all of a sudden, there's a crane with a camera hanging over our heads, and you're, like, 'Okayyyyyyy. But how are you gonna sell this? How are you gonna make it work?' And they ended up shooting it brilliantly, cutting it together, and it just all ended up working without me having to compromise my own personal morals.” KnowsFirstsTogetherMy OwnMoralKnow HowCuttingSeasonsCamerasSellsCompromiseShootingNipplesCranesThreesome Author:Pamela Adlon
“It's a very different experience shooting in 3-D because the camera rigs are so large. Everything we've become accustomed to in the last ten years as filmmakers, which is cameras getting smaller and smaller and you can just throw them on your shoulder and stick them in a car and do whatever you want, you can't do any of that now. You're forced to put things on dollies and track and cranes.” WantYearsDifferentLastsCarTenCamerasSticksTrackShouldersShootingFilmmakerAccustomedDo Whatever You WantDifferent ExperiencesCranesRigs Author:Paul W.

“You really feel like you're on the cutting edge and you know you are because all the camera equipment you take for granted doesn't exist for 3-D. So all the cranes with all the stabilized heads, they don't work on 3-D because they're all built for lightweight camera packages. As soon as you kind of put two cameras together and all the other crap that they need and the cabling to go back to the computers, we've literally, the cranes on these movies, they break after a couple of days.” KnowsNeedsFeelsKindTwoTogetherBreakCuttingLike YouCoupleComputerBuiltCamerasEdgesGrantedCrapEquipmentPackagesCutting EdgeCranes Author:Paul W.
