Very often when I go in to meet for movies or pilots, I'm put on videotape. I hate the notion that that tape is going to sit on a shelf and never get better.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My friends and I often film videos when we get together and hang out, and they're usually just silly situational videos just for our own amusement.
When I see someone filming me, I don't usually think, 'No, man, don't put this up online!' I'd think, 'Hey man, you don't get to go to shows very often, put down the camera and enjoy it!' I love going to theatre and to shows so much.
I still like to keep tapes of the few minutes before the final take, things that happen before the session. Maybe it's superstitious, but I believe if I had done things differently - if I had walked around the studio or gone out - it wouldn't have turned out that way.
In my screenplays - from the very beginning I've always used tape. I talk my screenplays. And then have somebody transcribe them.
A video taped stage performance is just - you know, it's never gonna be the same as it is if you're sitting there live in the theatre.
Well, whether it's on film or on TV, you don't want to throw too many curves at your audio and video guys.
I don't use the big video screens that a lot of other artists use because personally, I think it's kind of a crutch. I think sometimes it's like watching television as opposed to really getting involved with what is happening onstage and the people in your section.
I kind of always think my work is unfilmable, and when I meet people who are interested in filming it, I'm always stunned.
You put yourself on tape as an actor a lot - and you send them off, they go out into the ether, and you have no idea what's going to come back, or when.
I love that you work out relationships with people as you're filming just to get something real to play on screen.
