“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
“One of the good things is the relationship between director and editor used to be more contentious. Studios used to leave directors alone more during the post production process and now they're clamoring to get in. So, the director and the editor end up teaming up sort of against the studio to fight what they're doing and you lose the creative tension that you used to have between an editor and a director.” EndsUsedFightingProcessLosesCreativeDirectorsGood ThingsProductionsStudiosUsed To BePostsTensionEditorsContentiousPost ProductionCreative TensionTeaming Up Author:Michael Sucsy
“If you are able to see on a monitor what it's actually going to look like and have that kind of feedback informing your decisions, then you're bringing back a lot of the decision-making process of the designer, the director of photography and the director away from the post-production process and bringing it back into the actual capturing of the event on film.” IfsLooksKindAbleFilmProcessDecisionEventsDirectorsPhotographyProductionsPostsDesignerDecision MakingFeedbackInformingDecision Making ProcessPost Production Author:Rick Heinrichs
“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
