I have done my best. I saw a fatal flaw in the camera industry. We did our best to address it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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'.
I try to tell my story as simply as possible, with the camera at eye level.
I've always been more of a camera hog than anything, and it's just another way to get it all out!
With photography, I always think that it's not good enough.
I confess it, I love the camera. When it's not on me, I'm not quite alive.
I take my camera to shoots and ask all the photographers and assistants to show me what to do with it.
When I started, you didn't focus so much on production, certainly not - gosh - down to the finest little detail of how you shifted your eyes or how you turned to somebody. A lot of the shots were far away from a still camera. There weren't as many close-ups and intimacy.
I have had positive experiences with cameras. When I have been asked to join experiments using cameras in the courtroom, I have participated; I have volunteered.
I film quite a bit of footage, then edit. Changes before your eyes, things you can do and things you can't. My attitude is always 'let it keep rolling.'
So successful has been the camera's role in beautifying the world that photographs, rather than the world, have become the standard of the beautiful.
