“It's nice to not feel like you're just re-enacting a preconceived moment, but there's room for an organic feeling to develop while the camera is rolling. Even amidst these enormous technical productions, Chris [ Nolan] always prioritized making sure that sort of spontaneous and organic feeling could happen at the moment.” FeelsMomentsFeelingsHappensRoomsNiceLike YouCamerasProductionsEnormousRollingSpontaneousNolan Author:Joseph Gordon-Levitt
“There is nothing worse than when actors come to a set - and it happens a lot with big stars - and they are too aware of where the camera is. They are the show. And that becomes apparent and it affects the production. I am like 'You should not know where the camera is - you should act, and I will do the rest.'” KnowsShouldShowsBigsHappensActorsStarsLike YouCamerasProductions Author:Paddy Considine
“You often feel like you are on a high wire with no net productions because you have to rely on spontaneity and come up with ideas on the spur of the moment - and then what happens is that there is electricity to it that gets caught.” FeelsIdeasMomentsHappensLike YouCaughtCome UpProductionsRelyElectricityWireSpontaneitySpursSpur Of The Moment Author:Nicolas Cage
“When I first started working on movies as a production assistant, we were shooting 65, 75, 85 days. I mean, granted some of those things were "Godzilla," "Deep Impact," and those kinds of things, but these days it's like 30-35 days or 40-45 days and you just feel like you're humping trying to get everything done. It's like "Move on, move on, move on!" That's not the way to get the best performances or the most interesting shots. You have to constantly balance schedule and quality of work. For me, that's the biggest thing.” WayFeelsTryingFirstsKindMeanDoneMovingInterestingQualityLike YouBalanceShotsPerformancesImpactProductionsGrantedShootingThese DaysSchedulesMost InterestingAssistantsBest PerformanceGodzillaQuality WorkDeep Impact Author:Michael Sucsy
“Writing is like that. You have to have some basic creative spark, and then, if you have that, I feel like you can learn the production side of it. You can learn how to be a good producer.

“If you think of the way Howlin' Wolf made records, you get the feeling there wasn't a production manager onsite, or a publicist having his say on how he should sing the songs.

“When you organize your work and look back at your entire production, it may feel like you're looking at a straight line, but in fact it's nothing like that. The work is very experimental and most of the time it develops like branches. I usually see a capillary, like a tree shape where there are... branches that sort of move because you're not tending to them.” FeelsLooksMayFactsMovingLinesTreeLike YouShapesProductionsBranchesOrganizeStraight Lines Author:Vik Muniz
