“TV, it's a director's medium, and they wanna make it look interesting. To be rehearsing mostly for the sake of where you're standing so they can do the lighting, that's what I don't like.” LooksCan DoInterestingTvsDirectorsStandingSakeMediumsLightingRehearsing Author:Janeane Garofalo
“A choreographer deals with the movement that you create, and with a creative director it's about the story, the stage, the lighting, the costuming, executing someone's idea, choosing how far to go or how little to go, and blending it so that you feel it, you're emotionally effected.” FeelsLittlesIdeasStoriesDealsCreativeStageMovementDirectorsLightingChoreographersExecuting Author:Laurieann Gibson
“The director makes the movie. The director has to have the story in their head, has to know the style of the piece, has to answer questions from actors, design, set, lighting, every department throughout the pre-production, production, and post-production, because they've got it in their mind. They've got to know exactly what they want and what the style and story of the movie is. It's them. They make it.” KnowsWantMindStoriesActorsAnswersPiecesStyleDesignDirectorsProductionsPostsDepartmentLightingPost Production Author:Jon Lovitz
“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
“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.

“When I was creative director [at Estée Lauder], I was always being asked about my beauty must-haves. From there I had this fun idea to create a line of what was in my makeup bag. But I also love accessories, and people associate me with home, family, and beauty. As a girl, my favorite toy was my dollhouse; if I could still play with it now, I would!

“The relationship with actor and director is probably closer to theater, in that, when we record the dialogue, there is very little in the way of the creative collaboration - no cameras, lighting or even locations. Then, once we record, the post process is very similar to the post flow in filmmaking - editing, sound design, mixing, etc. At the end of the day, it's all about storytelling and honing in on a tone by developing a rhythm and structure that suits the storytelling.” WayLittlesEndsActorsProcessSoundCreativeRecordsDesignDirectorsFlowTheaterCamerasStructureDialogueStorytellingSuitsRhythmDevelopingPostsToneThe End Of The DayEtcCollaborationFilmmakingEditingLocationLightingMixingHoningSound DesignCreative Collaboration Author:Glenn McQuaid

“Jack [Nicholson] really knows about the camera. He's one of the directors who likes to play with the camera. He'll change things around, play with lighting, things like that.
