“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
“You have to remain strong. That's the kind of filmmaker I want to encourage. Orson Welles was the one who said, you know, you can learn anything you need to know about filmmaking- that's camera, sound, celluloid, video at this point- in four hours. It has nothing to do with anything. It has nothing to do with it... It has to do with what you want to say. If you feel you have something to say, you'll find that way to get it said, on film, and not let anyone or anything chip away at that or tarnish it, because it's something special and precious.” IfsKnowsWayWantNeedsFeelsKindSaidFilmStrongSoundHoursFourSpecialCamerasWhat You WantVideoFilmmakerFilmmakingChipsSomething SpecialCelluloid Author:Martin Scorsese
“I've always found that when you're trying to create illusions with sound, especially in a science fiction or fantasy movie, that pulling sounds from the world around us is a great way to cement that illusion because you can go out and record an elevator in George Lucas's house or something, and it will have that motor sound.” WorldWayTryingFoundHouseSoundFictionFantasyRecordsCreatingIllusionScience FictionMovieFilmmakingPullingMotorElevatorsCement Author:Ben Burtt
“I think we're entering a new period of filmmaking that's analogous to switching from black-and-white to color, or from silent to sound.
