“I think one of the things you have to be aware of as an actor is that if you come on the set and see the director standing there mouthing all the words while a scene is going on, that's usually a very bad sign because it means the director has already shot the scene in his head. He knows exactly the rhythm and the nuances that he wants delivered in the line and you're not going to dissuade him.” IfsThinkingKnowsWantMeanActorsLinesSceneDirectorsShotsStandingRhythmNuanceStanding There Author:Dustin Hoffman
“As you get older - for example, in our band we have members of our orchestra, like Carlos Enriquez and Ali Jackson and Walter Blanning. I taught them when they were in high school, and now they teach me.I'll regularly call Ali and say, "Man, can you break this rhythm down for me?" Or Carlos was actually our music director in Cuba, and he's been instrumental in a lot of my education, and I started to develop a saying with them, because they tease me all the time - you get older, you have that familiar relationship - I say, "You have to follow your young leadership, too."” MenSchoolYoungTeachBreakExampleTaughtBandDirectorsMembersHigh SchoolFamiliarRhythmOrchestraCubaTeaseTease Me Author:Wynton Marsalis
“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
“As a film director and as film actors, you get used to a certain rhythm that's slow. But with TV, it's hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry. It's a different pace. So, it's about adjusting to the pace. It's not meant for everybody.” DifferentFilmUsedCertainActorsTvsDirectorsRhythmPaceAdjustingFilm DirectorsFilm Actors Author:Lee Daniels
“I kind of end up getting caught up in whatever the rhythm of the movie is and how open the director is to changing things in the moment or finding it in rehearsal.” KindEndsMomentsDirectorsFindingsCaughtRhythmCaught UpRehearsal Author:Michael Cera
