“It might sound odd, but I want to thank Michael Bay because hes been saying how important it is to show 3D with the right luminescence.

“So the laws of good driving forbade you to go off the magic ribbon except in extreme emergencies. You were ethically entitled to several inches of margin at the right-hand edge; and the man approaching you was entitled to an equal number of inches; which left a remainder of inches between the two projectiles as they shot by. It sounds risky as one tells it, but the heavens are run on the basis of similar calculations, and while collisions do happen, they leave time enough in between for universes to be formed, and successful careers conducted by men of affairs.” MenTwoEnoughHandsHappensRunningLawUniverseLeftHeavenSoundNumbersCareersSuccessfulMagicHe ManEqualShotsBasesAffairEdgesExtremesDrivingInchesEntitledEmergenciesMarginsCalculationsCollisionRibbonsSuccessful CareerProjectile Book:Oil!

“We may say that feelings have two kinds of intensity. One is the intensity of the feeling itself, by which loud sounds are distinguished from faint ones, luminous colors from dark ones, highly chromatic colors from almost neutral tints, etc. The other is the intensity of consciousness that lays hold of the feeling, which makes the ticking of a watch actually heard infinitely more vivid than a cannon shot remembered to have been heard a few minutes ago.” KindMayHas BeensTwoFeelingsSoundDarkConsciousnessWatchesHeardMinutesColorShotsLaysLoudRememberedEtcIntensityVividDistinguishedLuminousCannons Author:Charles Sanders Peirce

“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
“It might sound crazy, but filming in a conflict zone, in Afghanistan, and being a female filmmaker was the easy part. I found people open and understanding of the importance and beauty of filmic storytelling. I never had to explain why Jake Bryant, my Director of Photography, and I were climbing up a ladder to get a high shot, or running ahead to get an arrival shot, or filming weeks after weeks, months after months, collecting so much material. The process was respected and honored.” PeopleMightRunningFoundEasyProcessUnderstandingSoundWeekCrazyMaterialsMonthsDirectorsConflictPhotographyShotsFemaleImportanceStorytellingFilmmakerZoneClimbingAfghanistanHonoredLaddersCollectingArrivalsJakeClimbing Up Author:Pietra Brettkelly
