“David Fincher is probably the best comprehensive director in terms of being a manger of a process that must drive forward. He has such confident command of cinema language and visual language and script and performance. He knows more about f-stops than any cameraman, he knows more about lighting than any gaffer, he is a wonderful writer, and he can give you a good line reading. Under pressure, he is the kind of guy who you will just dive in with and trust and follow because his vision is so intense.” KnowsGivingKindGuyReadingLanguageProcessTermLinesVisionWonderfulDirectorsPerformancesPressureScriptsIntenseCommandCinemaVisualsComprehensiveLightingUnder PressureCameraman Author:Edward Norton

“When I move from being a cameraman to being a director I looked at a lot of other cameramen who tried to make the move. And in each case they moved up their camera operator to be the DP, which really meant they didn't want to give up being the DP, and really wanted to do both. And my feeling was if I was going to succeed as a director, I had to just be a director and give up the safety net of being a cameraman.” IfsWantGivingFeelingsWantedMovingCasesSucceedDirectorsGiving UpCamerasSafetyMovedReally MeanSafety NetOperatorsCameraman Author:Barry Sonnenfeld
