“I am a writer who works from an outline. What I generally do when I build an outline is I find focal, important scenes, and I build them in my head and I don't write them yet, but I build towards them.” WritingImportantSceneOutlines Author:Brandon Sanderson
“I take the fact that films cost a lot of money very seriously, but once in a while to have somebody say, This is a big scene, take your time with it, is important. That's John Sayles.” ImportantFactsBigsFilmSceneCostLots Of MoneyTake Your Time Author:Mary Steenburgen
“I'm just aware of what I'm thinking and feeling but I do obviously have to get that to the back of the auditorium. So there are things like projection and filling the room, and not dropping the ends of lines - technical things which are important, but I don't think they change the way I feel in a scene.” ThinkingWayFeelsImportantEndsFeelingsLinesRoomsSceneFillingProjectionDroppingAuditoriums Author:Bill Nighy
“When you're working with film, you can only shoot one angle at a time, and then everything has to stop, and you re-light it and shoot everything else from the opposite side, so it's really important that you stick exactly to what's written. But with the multi-camera digital setup, you're getting both sides of the scene at the same time, so it gives you that freedom to go off-book.” GivingImportantBookLightFilmSidesWrittenSceneOppositesCamerasSticksDigitalAngleBoth SidesSetups Author:Chris Pratt
“As an actor, it's always important to understand what the director is after. That, to me, is my job. When I'm acting, I like to ask a lot of questions and understand exactly why the director is doing what they're doing, so that I can provide him or her with the ingredients that they need to get the scene that they want. It's not to challenge them, in any way. It's just so that I can do my job best.” WayWantNeedsI CanImportantJobsActorsAsksCan DoChallengesActingSceneDirectorsIngredients Author:Joseph Gordon-Levitt
“In the field of Artificial Intelligence there is no more iconic and controversial milestone than the Turing Test, when a computer convinces a sufficient number of interrogators into believing that it is not a machine but rather is a human. It is fitting that such an important landmark has been reached at the Royal Society in London, the home of British Science and the scene of many great advances in human understanding over the centuries. This milestone will go down in history as one of the most exciting.” BelieveHumansHas BeensImportantHomeUnderstandingNumbersCenturyFieldsSceneComputerTestsMachinesExcitingBritishLondonSufficientConvinceArtificial IntelligenceArtificialRoyalControversialFittingIconicMilestoneLandmarks Author:Kevin Warwick
“I have done scenes as Harvey Two-Face. It's interesting. I won't tell you exactly what we're going for, but I think that I can say that it will use all of today's technology to create this character. He's going to be interesting, and I think that's what makes this character important in the movie-you get to see him as he was before, as in the comic books. Harvey is a very good guy in the comic books. He's judicious. He cares. He's passionate about what he loves and then he turns into this character. So you will see that in this film.” ThinkingI CanTwoImportantBookDoneCharacterUseCareTodayFilmFacesGuyTurnsInterestingTechnologySceneVery GoodPassionateComicComic BookGood GuyHarvey Author:Aaron Eckhart
“It [the scene] can be something given to you and you go, "Ah this is a good idea, I can work with this." Sometimes it cuts right across your instinct and that's when I might resist. Even if the director might be insistent, I think it's very important to say, "Look, I'm not feeling this. I'll try to make it work but I got to let you know."” IfsThinkingKnowsTryingLooksI CanImportantIdeasSometimesFeelingsMightGivenCuttingSceneDirectorsInstinctGood Ideas Author:Ralph Fiennes
