Cameras Quotes - Page 55

It occurred to me the other day that I've made out with more people on camera than I have in real life!

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.

I do believe that a film like Ten could never have been made with a 35mm camera. The first part of the film lasts 17 minutes, and by the end of that part, the kid has totally forgotten the camera.

With the RED, I didn't have this impression at all. I felt that it was as heavy as a film camera.

I remember avoiding it during the shooting rather than paying attention to it.
