There are a lot of similarities with film and TV, but also a lot of differences, especially in the way they film stuff.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When you're doing the work, film and TV are exactly the same. TV is just film in reduced pieces.
Theater and film are essentially the same - just different kinds of storytelling.
I would say the biggest difference is that a movie is a shorter, more encapsulated experience, and a TV job is like having a regular day job where you get to do what you love.
I really have no preference between TV and film. I think that each individual project is its own thing and has a very different style.
A film has a sort of life over time, whereas a TV show comes up in your living room, and it's immediate, and people write about it.
Television has changed. Some feels like good old-fashioned TV, and some of it feels more filmic and more natural and more nuanced. I don't think there's any clear line any longer between film and TV.
The pace of television is very different from film.
Film and television are just different. Film is cool because it's a complete package. You know the beginning, middle, and end. You can plan it out more, which I like. But with television you get a new script every week, so it's constantly a mystery as to what you're going to be doing.
The movies are all about visual, and television is all about character and dialogue.
There's so little difference between television and features as far as you make the film. I mean, you have less money and it's a little quicker, but the concept is all on television.
