“I loved being on the other side of the camera and interacting with the crew. When you are an actor, you have to stay inside this world, but when you are with the crew, on the outside, you are in the dirt, working through all the issues. It's just a different way of working, and I think I preferred it.” ThinkingWorldWayDifferentActorsSidesIssuesThis WorldCamerasDifferent WaysDirtCrewInteracting Author:Angelina Jolie
“Nobody thinks about technical issues anymore because cameras or camera phones take care of that automatically. On the other hand, you still have the option of controlling every technical aspect.

“Making photos is helpful of course to master the craft. To get comfortable with the camera. Learn what a camera can do and how to use the camera successfully. Doing exercises for example if you try to find out things that the camera can do that the eye cannot do. So that you have a tool that will do what you need to be done. But then once you have mastered the craft the most important thing is to determine why you want to shoot pictures and what you want to shoot pictures of. That's where the thematic issue comes to life.” IfsWantNeedsTryingImportantDoneUseEyeCoursesCan DoIssuesExampleMastersExerciseComfortableToolsCamerasImportant ThingsDetermineWhat You WantCraftsHelpfulThematic Author:Leonard Nimoy
“Jerusalem - a divided city, where demonstrations for and against various issues occur regularly. One day, during an Orthodox demonstration against autopsies, I happened to click a few frames while a young man pushed his hamsa (spread hand) into my camera, which is seen by some as 'the evil eye.' As it happened, it was the tail end of my roll of film and the image is actually a double exposure. This taught me that in spite of your careful framing, chance occurrences create the most interesting images.” MenEndsHandsEyeFilmYoungEvilChanceInterestingCitiesIssuesHappenedTaughtOne DayCamerasCarefulVariousSpreadYoung ManSpiteOrthodoxDividedTailsExposureDemonstrationMost InterestingClicksJerusalemFramingAutopsyEvil Eye Author:Micha Bar-Am

“To go into more specifics regarding actors, whether they're from Korea or the U.S., all actors know if they are loved by the director. When they feel that love from the director, they respond by giving a great performance on camera. Also, everyone on set - the crew, the actors - they were aware of the film's message and its broad theme, so these big issues were never discussed on set.” IfsKnowsGivingFeelsBigsFilmActorsIssuesDirectorsMessagesPerformancesCamerasThemeBroadsCrewKoreaSpecificsGreat Performance Author:Kim Jee-woon
“For me, it's not important whether [subjects] are naked, half-naked, or dressed. What I'm more interested in is how they present themselves: if someone is half-naked and having self-confidence or you have the feeling that she has or he has control of the situation. She likes to do it. Then I have nothing against it. But it's true that society doesn't talk about such issues. They just talk about whether there is a breast or not, but for me it's more interesting how the power game of camera and object is shown. And if it's a cool picture.” IfsImportantSelfFeelingsGamesInterestingHalfSituationIssuesSubjectsObjectsCamerasSelf ConfidenceLikesNakedBreasts Author:Pipilotti Rist
“When you're kissing on camera, it becomes an issue visually. It looks like a skinny dinosaur creature is trying to kiss someone. It doesn't look good.
