“You have to communicate on a much greater scale. With a camera, you can use the flick of an eye. On stage, a lot of other things are happening that can pull focus or energy. You're always thinking the same way, but you have to amplify your thoughts with the volume of your speech and the ways you use your whole body to communicate what you're feeling. It's a little bit different from film.” ThinkingWayLittlesDifferentWholeUseFeelingsBodyEyeFilmEnergyBitsGreaterFocusStageSpeechLittle BitHappeningsCamerasCommunicateScalesVolumeAlways ThinkingAmplifyThinking The Same Author:Jeremy Irons
“Sometimes I take the watch, or I take the shoes, but usually the souvenir is to take the life you had with those directors, or the crew - the camera person, the lighting person. When you finish a film it's like a little death. You had a family for a bit, and you finish the movie and you probably will never see each other again.” LittlesPersonsSometimesFilmBitsWatchesDirectorsCamerasShoesCrewLightingSouvenirs Author:Jean Reno

“I was on the yearbook staff, so I would take out film cameras and Nikons and take photos around school and at sporting events and things like that. We had a darkroom as well. I just loved it.

“The first thing I did in the studio was to want to tear that camera to pieces. I had to know how that film got into the cutting room, what you did to it in there, how you projected it, how you finally got the picture together, how you made things match. The technical part of pictures is what interested me. Material was the last thing in the world I thought about. You only had to turn me loose on the set and I`d have material in two minutes, because I`d been doing it all my life.” KnowsWorldWantFirstsMadeTwoTogetherLastsFilmTurnsRoomsKnow HowPiecesCuttingMinutesTearsMaterialsCamerasStudiosTurn Me Author:Buster Keaton

“The '80s were a time of technical wonder in filmmaking; unfortunately, some colleges didn't integrate their film and theater departments - so you had actors who were afraid of the camera, and directors who couldn't talk to the actors.” FilmActorsWonderCollegeDirectorsTheaterCamerasMovieDepartmentFilmmaking80sIntegrating Author:Eric Stoltz

“In film, the camera can get an array of shots so the audience can see the emotion the character is giving off. Using close-ups on the characters face really helps get the message across.

“The difference between an amateur and a professional photographer is that the amateur thinks the camera does the work. And they treat the camera with a certain amount of reverence. It is all about the kind of lens you choose, the kind of film stock you use… exactly the sort of perfection of the camera. Whereas, the professional the real professional – treats the camera with unutterable disdain. They pick up the camera and sling it aside. Because they know it’s the eye and the brain that count, not the mechanism that gets between them and the subject that counts.” ThinkingKnowsKindDoeRealUseEyeFilmCertainDifferencesBrainSubjectsAmountPicksPerfectionTreatsCamerasPhotographerYou ChooseReverenceMechanismLensesDisdainProfessional Photographer Author:David Hemmings
