Cutting Room Quotes

I thought it was a wonderful line - right on the cutting room floor Picture Quote #1

Cutting PBS support (0.012% of budget) to help balance the Federal budget is like deleting text files to make room on your 500Gig hard drive Picture Quote #1

I often can’t remember which scenes are and aren’t in the final product, because I saw so many different versions of the Lemony Snicket that I forget which ended up on the cutting-room floor Picture Quote #1

Over-length is one of the things that most often results in the destruction of the movie in the cutting room Picture Quote #1

I always make mistakes and I always fix things up, as best I can, in the cutting room Picture Quote #1

Certainly as an actor, half of your work is not going to end up on the screen anyway, because in the editorial process, they need to cut to the other actor in the scene. Very often, your best work ends up on the cutting room floor, because it just doesn’t work with the overall narrative drive of the story Picture Quote #1

When we were working on ‘Taxi to the Dark Side,’ we would purposefully not show it to certain people in the cutting room, because we would include a lot of horrible material and would need a fresh pespective. They would look at us and say, ‘Are you out of your minds? You can’t include that!’ Picture Quote #1

If you shoot with a billion cameras, then there’s no perspective. You want to use one shot at a time, so it’s better to discover what that is before you shoot, rather than trying to make something in the cutting room, and then it just becomes generic Picture Quote #1

I co-wrote and produced ‘Sticky Fingers’ with Catlin Adams, who directed it. I learned a lot writing and producing with Cat. I spent as much time as I could in the cutting room with her. All the producing experience that I had helped Picture Quote #1

Any film I’ve made, I’ve only really begun to understand in the cutting room. That’s when the story shows itself to you, like a wreck coming out of the sea Picture Quote #1

My role as Ewan McGregor’s girlfriend in the film ‘Incendiary’ ended up on the cutting-room floor, but at least I had two brilliant days of acting with Ewan Picture Quote #1

I’m a provincial. I live very much like a hermit: reading, listening to music, working in the cutting room, writing, commercial work - which doesn’t take up that much time Picture Quote #1

I lose tons of stuff on the cutting room floor. For Scary Movie 3, for example, we had a lot of Matrix spoofs, a Hulk scene, and some of that stuff just doesn’t hold up - it’s too much plot, audiences just didn’t want to hear about it Picture Quote #1

When I do documentaries, my best information ends up on the cutting-room floor. People have trouble dealing with sexual honesty Picture Quote #1

The cutting room is where you discover the optimal length of the movie Picture Quote #1

I used to spend a lot of time cutting out film posters from papers and putting them up on the wall in my room Picture Quote #1

I always preferred those movies I would have a large role in. If I had to choose between a small movie with a big role and a big movie with a small role, I’d take the one with more screen time. It’s not very satisfying for an actor to get work and then ending up on the cutting room floor Picture Quote #1

Any film I’ve made, I’ve only really begun to understand in the cutting room. That’s when the story shows itself to you, like a wreck coming out of the sea Picture Quote #1

I was fascinated by the effects that could be achieved by editing. The cutting room became a magic workshop for me Picture Quote #1

I may film scenes I had no intention of filming; things suggest themselves on location, and we improvise. I try not to think about it too much. Then, in the cutting room, I take the film and start to put it together, and only then do I begin to get an idea of what it is about Picture Quote #1

The first thing I did in the studio was to want to tear that camera to pieces. I had to know how that film got into the cutting room, what you did to it in there, how you projected it, how you finally got the picture together, how you made things match. The technical part of pictures is what interested me. Material was the last thing in the world I thought about. You only had to turn me loose on the set and I’d have material in two minutes, because I’d been doing it all my life Picture Quote #1
