“You can put the camera in places where you may not necessarily be able to put it there if I don't do the stunt. If it's character and it's storytelling, then we do it. We design the things around me. I don't do it just to do a stunt. It's storytelling for me and how I can best bring the audience into the action, bring the audience into the story. And that's how we always look at at.” IfsLooksMayI CanCharacterStoriesAbleActionAudienceDesignCamerasStorytelling Author:Tom Cruise
“I try to keep feeling what's going on and try to use the camera, the actors and the design to enhance those feelings. There's something really emotionally direct and honest about how I put the material with the images. You hope that the strength of mise-en-scene comes from an honesty towards the material. You also hire really well.” TryingWellsUseFeelingsActorsHonestHonestyDesignMaterialsSceneDirectCameras Author:Ira Sachs
“What I love about directing is finding common ground in complementary palate with wardrobe, set design, the camera department, the makeup department, et cetera. I love figuring out that synergy. To have everything work in concert is amazing, I love working with that kind of logic. Directing is a cavalcade of taste decisions - this one or that one, but I raather enjoy it and am in the process of setting up the next endeavor.” KindNextProcessEnjoyDecisionCommonDesignTasteFindingsLogicCamerasSettingSettingsDepartmentMakeupEndeavorConcertsWardrobeCommon GroundPalateSynergyComplementary Author:Billy Zane
“The relationship with actor and director is probably closer to theater, in that, when we record the dialogue, there is very little in the way of the creative collaboration - no cameras, lighting or even locations. Then, once we record, the post process is very similar to the post flow in filmmaking - editing, sound design, mixing, etc. At the end of the day, it's all about storytelling and honing in on a tone by developing a rhythm and structure that suits the storytelling.” WayLittlesEndsActorsProcessSoundCreativeRecordsDesignDirectorsFlowTheaterCamerasStructureDialogueStorytellingSuitsRhythmDevelopingPostsToneThe End Of The DayEtcCollaborationFilmmakingEditingLocationLightingMixingHoningSound DesignCreative Collaboration Author:Glenn McQuaid

“One of the things about working for an old school studio like Warner Bros. is that there is an institutional culture and institutional memory, in terms of production design, camera work, and directors who understand how to do this kind of thing.” KindSchoolCultureTermMemoriesDesignDirectorsCamerasProductionsStudiosOld SchoolBrosWarner BrosProduction Design Author:Bruno Heller
“One thing that is very different technically is that you don't get a lot of coverage in television. Not like you do on a film. I know we don't have time for separate set-ups, so I will design a scene where I'm hiding multiple cameras within that set-up. That way, if I don't have time to do five set-ups, I can do four cameras in one set-up. It's a different kind of approach for that. For the most part, a lot of television, in a visual sense, lacks time for the atmosphere and putting you in a place.” IfsKnowsWayKindI CanDifferentFilmCan DoFiveFourOne ThingDesignTelevisionLike YouSceneApproachCamerasAtmosphereVisualsHidingDifferent KindsMultipleCoverage Author:Len Wiseman
“The terrain of the face is the most dynamic thing you can point the camera at, to me. I love production design and bells and whistles and all of that.

“I always wondered, you know I watch "Cops" all the time - why doesn't a drug dealer design a trap door under their car?
