Cameraman Quotes

Your cameraman might enjoy himself, because my face looks like a wedding cake left out in the rain Picture Quote #1

It took me three, four years, to get from my first film to my second film, banging on doors, trying to get people to give me a chance. Writing, struggling, with no money in the bank, working as an editor on the side. Working as a cameraman on the side. Getting little jobs, eking out a living. Trying to stay alive, and pushing a script that nobody wanted Picture Quote #1

In the old days, before there was such a thing as film schools, directors learned the camera by watching other directors, and learning from their own dailies, and listening to the cameraman, and seeing what would work. Some of those guys could cut their movies in their head Picture Quote #1

The cameraman isn’t thinking about whether you’re good that day. He’s too busy worrying about what he has to do Picture Quote #1

The Russo brothers are the best people ever, and they cast me in ‘Happy Endings.’ I did text Joe Russo to say, ‘I don’t think my character dies, so if you need a local news cameraman to show up in ‘Captain America 2’... I know it doesn’t make sense, but just hear me out on this!’ He was really cool about it and turned me down right away Picture Quote #1

My work is made on lines similar to those of a film production. A lot of my work is kind of bureaucratic, endlessly phoning up people, trying to find the cameraman and the lighting man, because I am a total technology-phobe, quite helpless with equipment Picture Quote #1

I worked on ‘Blue Peter’ and ‘Tonight’ and lots of TV plays, filmed people like Rudolf Nureyev and Ted Heath, and ended up a senior cameraman with my own crew. I’d had my first short story published in 1947, and when my writing really started to take off I decided to go freelance, and eventually left the BBC in 1965 Picture Quote #1

Since a camera is something too heavy for women and initially made for men, you need a good cameraman Picture Quote #1

People always seem to assume that we have a full, back - up support team - makeup, costume and a driver - but usually, in a war zone, there’s only me and the cameraman Picture Quote #1

Yes, if I had it my way I would do all the shots myself-i used to do that when I was just a cameraman, an operator - but there’s no way; you can’t do that anymore Picture Quote #1

I couldn’t be a cameraman or a designer or an actor - I have to be a director because I learned how to do that from my dad Picture Quote #1

Anyone with a smart phone is a potential eyewitness cameraman capturing and transmitting stories at speeds that turn Reuter photos and traditional reporting into, well... yesterday's news Picture Quote #1

I have always imposed my wishes on the cameraman. Moreover, I have always picked them at the outset of their careers and, to a certain extent, have formed them myself Picture Quote #1

Of all the people who make up a movie production unit, the cameraman is the only one who can call himself a free soul Picture Quote #1

Was one of these sex flicks where the cameraman always measures the distance between the camera and your crotch, which makes for a very strange working atmosphere Picture Quote #1

I believe that the best cameraman is one who recognizes the source, the story, as the basis of his work Picture Quote #1

Justice precedes beauty. Without justice, beauty is impossible, an obscenity. And when beauty has gone, what does a cameraman do with his eye? Picture Quote #1

Directing ain’t about drawing a neat little picture and showing it to the cameraman. I didn’t want to go to film school. I didn’t know what the point was. The fact is, you don’t know what directing is until the sun is setting and you’ve got to get five shots and you’re only going to get two Picture Quote #1

My technicians are my most important tools. Once I establish a rapport with them, then they would understand me in my next film. I wouldn’t have to train anyone new. I give a lot of respect to all my technicians, because I’m a technician too. I wouldn’t be able to convey a feeling if the writer didn’t write it well, and the cameraman didn’t shoot it well Picture Quote #1

Often I pretended to a cameraman to know less than I did. That way I got more cooperation Picture Quote #1

There is the danger of over preparation, of loss of spontaneity; over rehearsal is the most terrible thing you can imagine. We do have a very close association between costume and set designer, though. And the cameraman is very important, of course Picture Quote #1

My cameraman and I devised a method, which we started using from my second film, which applies mainly to day scenes shot in the studio, where we used bounced light instead of direct light. We agreed with this thing of four or five shadows following the actors is dreadful Picture Quote #1
