“Guys don't understand great art. They don't care that sometimes the camera has power beyond the photographer to record emotion that only the heart can see. They're threatened when the camera jumps ahead of me. Todd Kovich was pissed when I brought my Nikon to the prom, but I'd missed too many transcendent shots over the years to ever take a chance of missing one again. A prom, I told him, had a boundless supply of photogenic bozos who could be counted on to do something base.” YearsHeartArtSometimesCareGuyChanceEmotionRecordsMissingShotsCamerasPhotographerDon't CareThreatenedGreat ArtTake A ChanceBoundlessTranscendentPromPhotogenicNikon Author:Joan Bauer
“Most movies shot in Italian don't even bother to record the sound. In fact, sometimes when Fellini works, he doesn't even know what the dialogue is going to be, and he simply has his characters count from 1 to 10, knowing he will loop in their dialogue later.” KnowsSometimesCharacterFactsSoundKnowingRecordsShotsDialogueBotherItalianLoops Author:Sean Connery

“When you have the catalog of work, it doesn't feel like you've got one shot to get it right; it's just like, you're making a new document of something at the present time, and it's a living thing, and it changes. It's been cool to help other people make their records, to produce. You get a crash course in things that you don't get as the artist.” PeopleFeelsHelpingArtistCoursesRecordsProduceLike YouShotsHelping OthersWorking ItCrashDocumentsLiving ThingsPresent Time Author:Blake Mills
“I'm really thankful to have my own record label. I've always looked up to people like Madonna when she launched Maverick Records. Even Jay Z and Sean "Puffy" Combs, who's a mentor and also gave me a shot when I was an independent artist in Atlanta. He came to my show, and he said, "I just want people to know about you."” PeopleKnowsWantSaidShowsArtistMy OwnRecordsShotsIndependentLabelsMentorAtlantaSeanRecord LabelsCombsMaverick Author:Janelle Monae
“Although the assembly of the shots is responsible for the structure of the film, it does not, as is generally assumed, create its rhythm; the distinct time running through the shots makes the rhythm of the picture, and the rhythm is determined not by the length of edited pieces, but by the pressure of the time that runs through them. The pieces that 'won't edit', that can't be properly joined, are those which record a radically different kind of time” KindDoeDifferentRunningFilmRecordsPiecesShotsPressureResponsibleStructureDeterminedRhythmLengthDifferent KindsAssemblyEditsEdited Author:Andrei Tarkovsky
“I counted it up once. I think I have written 45 full screenplays. Of those, maybe 15 have been shot, in some form. That's a pretty good track record, but it's not 100%. It is frustrating that, as a screenwriter, I've seen all those movies and they don't exist in the real world. They're juts inside my head and on those pages.” ThinkingWorldHas BeensRealFormRecordsWrittenPagesShotsTrackReal WorldFrustratingScreenplaysScreenwritersTrack Record Author:John August
