Motion-picture studio floors used to be all wooden and not smooth at all. This was difficult when moving a camera around on a dolly.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I look at the camera as sort of a missing link between motion picture photography and still photography.
I was mainly a stage actor. I found film acting mechanical, because it was so technical - there was so much technique with the lamps and the movements of the camera.
I have a dark room, and I still process film, but digital photography can be a totally lying kind of experience; you can move anything you want... the whole thing can't be trusted, really.
Motion pictures are the art form of the 20th century, and one of the reasons is the fact that films are a slightly corrupted artform. They fit this century - they combine Art and business!
I only make storyboards for action scenes. Once you make a storyboard, you don't film; it can be a stiff move.
I like the camera to be still and not very shaky and have everything happen within the frame.
Motion capture has become very specialized but also still just a tool of filmmaking.
You can do really slow movements with it, like zooming in for a minute and a half. The audience isn't aware that the camera has moved, but there's subconscious tension there.
I went around the corner to motion pictures.
I used to do a lot of casual photography - back in the olden times when one used film - but it had fallen by the wayside over the years.
