“Acting time is like flight time: You can work on a simulator, you can rehearse, but unless you're really in front of the camera or on a stage - that's when you really learn how to work it.” ActingStageFrontsCamerasFlightWorking It Author:John Kapelos
“Man Ray... loved games and absolutely knew about the camera. It is interesting to note that, although I used him in only about 10 percent of the photographs and videotapes, most people think of him as omnipresent in my work. It irked me sometimes to be known only as the guy with the dog, but on the other hand it was a thrill to have a famous dog.” PeopleThinkingMenSometimesHandsUsedGuyGamesInterestingKnownDogPercentCamerasNotesPhotographWorking ItRaysThrill Author:William Wegman
“Now there's a whole generation of filmmakers who grew up making their own films with video cameras, and have dined entirely on a diet of popular culture. It's been reflected in a lot of their work. It's self-reflective, it's quite knowing, but it's very literate.” SelfWholeFilmCultureKnowingGenerationsGrewGrew UpCamerasVideoDietsFilmmakerWorking ItPopular CultureVideo Cameras Author:Simon Pegg
“When I'm acting, I have zero control, and it's the scariest thing anyone can do in that field because, you know, your face is always the one that's out there in front of the camera, and any number of things can happen to you once you've done your work. It can be edited badly, it can be distributed badly, or it can not be distributed at all. And I've certainly experienced that; every actor has.” KnowsDoneHappensFacesActorsCan DoNumbersActingFrontsFieldsCamerasWorking ItZeroYour FaceCan NotEdited Author:Amber Tamblyn

“It's hard work. It's really hard work, but it's really interesting. We have this camera, I think it's called a SimulCam, and when you play it back, you can see the giant in the scene you just shot. It's incredible. You're reacting to a tennis ball that's way up there, then when you watch it, it's this huge giant's face on it. Wow. That's cool. I just can't wait to see it when it's all edited together and the special effects are all crystal clear. It's going to be, hopefully, amazing.” ThinkingWayHardPlayTogetherFacesWaitingInterestingWatchesClearSpecialEffectsHard WorkHugeSceneShotsBallsCamerasIncrediblesHopefullyGiantsTennisWorking ItWowCrystalsReally InterestingReactingSpecial EffectsEditedTennis Balls Author:Eleanor Tomlinson
“I watched a lot of movies from all over the world. The Russians were very good at editing. They were specialists in editing. The Man with a Camera, if you know that movie, is incredible. I still don't understand how it works. It's a movie with no script, no actors and still it works. It's really good.

“I don't think I can break down any doors, but I'm thinking, "Maybe I can be a cameraman, because I love the cameras." And the cameraman would show me how to thread the film, how to repair it, the lenses. That's when you become, like, goony goo-goo about it. You breathe and eat camera, and all of a sudden, you don't want anything else in the world. You finally know, "This is my calling." When you're passionate about something, it doesn't become work.
