“I'm the most experienced cinematographer in this medium, so there's no point in having that extra conversation in the middle of the loop. You're making the film in relation to what's happening now, and you can't really affect what's happening now. It's not like you're in control of anything in front of the camera. If you're calling yourself the director and you're not the cinematographer, I think you're kidding yourself.” IfsThinkingFilmMiddleFrontsLike YouCallingDirectorsConversationHappeningsRelationCamerasMediumsExtrasNo PointLoopsCinematographersKidding Yourself Author:David Douglas
“I love just seeing shots of New York inside of a fictional movie that are not controlled. I do not like shots with extras, I have to say.

It doesn't bother me.” IfsMindLooksCareCitiesSeeingStreetsNew YorkSceneShotsCamerasBotherExtrasControlledNew York CityI Love New YorkCity Streets Author:Greta Gerwig

“Well, I tried being in front of the camera as a student and that was terrifying. But the press stuff about me growing up on his [film] sets has been exaggerated.

“Like, she had a caterer, she had wardrobe people, she had two makeup artists... I mean, we have makeup and we have wardrobe, but Felicia [Day] was, like, on it.

“If you are using a digital camera specifically for that reason you have in mind from the beginning, then yeah, it'll work.
