There are some directors I would move the sun and earth for, or stop the rotation of the planets, just to work with them.” FeelsEarthMovingStrongSunPlanetsMaterialsKeysDirectorsIngredientsRotation Author:Olivia Thirlby
“I take bits and pieces from every director. I'd say Sylvain [White] and Nimrod [Antal]. They were more about teaching me lens sizes and depth of field and how to move the camera and lighting. I do want to direct and I didn't go to film school, so having a director that are very much hands on that way and looking to let me learn, that is a key factor.” WayWantHandsSchoolFilmMovingBitsWhitePiecesTeachingFieldsKeysDirectorsDirectLet MeCamerasDepthSizeFactorsLensesLightingFilm SchoolBits And PiecesDepth Of Field Author:Columbus Short
“There are some directors who don't like the set much. They like post-production, where you have all the ingredients in the can - you've got all the footage, all the music, the various effects - and then you have to do the alchemy necessary to make it all good, a long and very key process of putting everything together and making it into the cogent thing that you want.” WantLongTogetherProcessEffectsKeysDirectorsProductionsVariousPostsIngredientsAlchemyPost Production Author:Fred Melamed
