Filming is a witnessing process. You don't try to control it, even though sometimes you wish you could because it can go really, really wrong for you.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you're filming somebody doing something they really want to do, you're probably not very high on their list of problems to deal with. You see James Carville on the phone - he's like that whether you have a camera or not. He isn't doing it just for you, and that's hard to explain.
I did documentary film for a long time, and I spent a lot of time behind the camera, fervently wishing that the reality I was filming would conform to my narrative propriety. But you can't control it.
Within the process of filming, unexpected situations occur.
It's a weird thing... putting your emotions out there for everybody to see while filming. I think it puts you in a kind of vulnerable state.
Sometimes when you film, you can be in a bit of a bubble, and then suddenly when you finish filming, it's taken out of your hands - it's not yours anymore, and we all love it so much that we feel quite protective of it.
Well, like any time you're shooting documentary stuff, you've got to be in the moment, and you've got to be able to be in control enough to capture what's happening.
Filming is so much to do with rhythm, as is music, and if it isn't there then you know in the end nobody can save it really, they can't.
I kind of always think my work is unfilmable, and when I meet people who are interested in filming it, I'm always stunned.
Most of the time you spend filming a show is time you spend without the cameras on, when you're not acting.
Even if you're not doing anything wrong, you are being watched and recorded.
