“Well, there are three different processes of making a film, of course. They're sort of re-written three times. You write it to start with, and then you shoot it and you re-write it while shooting and you sort of re-write it as you edit.” WritingWellsDifferentFilmThreeCoursesProcessWrittenShootingThree TimesEdits Author:Stephen Daldry
“Making movies has not only been an incredibly collaborative process but there's three big parts: pre-production, shooting itself and then post-production, which leads into marketing. And if you're passionate about the movie and you believe in it, and it would make sense that you are having done it, then you want to get out and promote it. It makes it a lot easier when the film is good and people are enjoying it.” PeopleIfsWantBelieveDoneBigsFilmThreeProcessEnjoyEasierMarketingPassionateProductionsPostsShootingMake SensePost Production Author:Dwayne Johnson
“If you take away the last few years, from my last year in Washington, and you think about my career, there was nothing but hard work. I was in the gym three or four times a day, working on my skills. If we lost a game, and I thought I played bad, I'm staying in the gym to keep shooting. That's what I did. That's what I was known for: I was a gym rat.” IfsThinkingYearsHardLastsThreeGamesLostKnownCareersFourHard WorkSkillsShootingStayingGymLast YearRatsGym Rats Author:Gilbert Arenas
“It was a weird game. There was ugly shooting and a lot of turnovers and mistakes, and we were just fortunate to get the win. I should have done better, but it was just a very ugly and weird game...

“I do like working on independent films where it is a smaller budget and less pressure. The pace is also quicker than that of a big budget film. You are shooting at a fairly fast pace. Sitting around for three or four days can be quite draining.

“I love going into rehearsals day after day for three, four weeks, trying stuff, coming back the next day, building on that.

“I love making movies, and being in any that I can be in. I'd like to be in those giant movies, as the fifth or sixth lead, and have three or four killer scenes.

“All three parts of filmmaking [writing, shooting, editing] contribute to rhytm. You want the script to be a tight as possible, you want the acting to be as efficient as possible on the set, and you have enough coverage to manipulate the rhythm in the editing room, and then in the editing room you want to find the quickest possible version, even if it's a leisurely paced film. I definitely in filmmaking more and more find writing and directing a means to harvest material for editing. It's all about editing.” IfsWantWritingMeanEnoughFilmThreeRoomsActingMaterialsScriptsVersionsRhythmShootingEfficientFilmmakingEditingHarvestManipulateCoverage Author:Alexander Payne

“Literally, people probably came up with a budget and said, 'It'll be cheaper if we cut down the prep,' but it's not cheaper, because then you're shooting, you're fumbling through the movie and you are prepping at three times the cost because you're quadruple-time as you're shooting and then prepping after you're done shooting.” PeopleIfsSaidDoneThreeCuttingCostShootingBudgetsThree TimesCheaperPreps Author:Howard Berger
