“Everything about filmmaking is incredibly weird, and there's nothing natural about watching yourself on the big screen or hearing your voice. It's that same thing that you feel when you watch yourself on a video camera and you hate the sound of your voice - it's that times 800.” FeelsBigsHateActorsSoundVoiceNaturalWatchesCamerasHearingScreensVideoMovieFilmmakingBig ScreenVideo CamerasHearing Your Voice Author:Eddie Redmayne
“When you're an actor or actress in this business, usually the natural progression is to direct, but a lot of times, we don't get a chance to get to it. Myself, I really want to get into it. I want to be the person who eventually doesn't have to be in front of the camera.” WantPersonsActorsNaturalChanceFrontsDirectCamerasActressesProgression Author:Jamie Foxx
“That's really good for an actor - to like the people behind the scenes - because then you treat the camera differently. If you really like someone who's shooting you, you're more open. You're not defensive, you're more relaxed, and I think that translates into a more interesting, natural performance.” PeopleIfsThinkingActorsNaturalInterestingBehindsScenePerformancesTreatsCamerasShootingTranslateRelaxedBehind The Scenes Author:Emile Hirsch
“I'm a natural behind the camera... My attentions are more toward behind the scenes, more toward creating, producing, and directing what's going on here...

“If you're a certain type of actor, then eventually stepping into a director's shoes is a natural transition. I've always been the actor who's very focused on the narrative, where my character is in the story, and how I can benefit the story. I've always had a technical aspect of what the lens is, how the camera is going to move, how I can feed the information the director applies within that move. If you're that type of actor, narrative-based, technically proficient, the next step is actually not that far.” IfsI CanCharacterStoriesMovingCertainNextActorsNaturalStepsInformationTypeDirectorsBenefitsAspectCamerasShoesFocusedNarrativeTransitionLensesNext Steps Author:Russell Crowe
