More and more movies have been pressured to allow reporters and TV cameras to come onto the set while you're working, and I find that a real violation.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Film people are coming into TV, because they can't get any work.
There are times when you're working with film people when you have to say, 'If the camera were on you, what you're doing would be perfect'.
Screen work always boils down to that moment between the camera and the actor or the actors. It always boils down to that, ultimately. You serve the camera.
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.
Filmmakers need to realize that their job isn't done when they lock picture. We must see our films through.
You can have ambiguity in television that you are not allowed in film... at least in Hollywood studio films.
There is nothing worse than when actors come to a set - and it happens a lot with big stars - and they are too aware of where the camera is. They are the show. And that becomes apparent and it affects the production. I am like 'You should not know where the camera is - you should act, and I will do the rest.'
I kind of always think my work is unfilmable, and when I meet people who are interested in filming it, I'm always stunned.
It is really funny to see people that you know acting unpleasantly just because there are TV cameras on.
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.
