American Cinematographer "If I get stuck on what I've attained in the past & I'm reaching back to scenarios I've created before, I'm not going to evolve any further. That's when you've lost the passion for your work." -Phedon Papamichael, ASC
Kalle Jauernik
What's about the storyellers?
All
the time you send martial arts, comic performances, war heroics and
perfidious killing in to many mainstream feature films, spreaded all
over the world...Haven't you realized that to many people adapted "fiction" into reality-take care about the young generation! Give them more perspectives!
American Cinematographer "I judge cinematography by night-exterior lighting more than anything else." -Chuck Russell
American Cinematographer "You have to make the director's movie. Many times you see movies where the cameraman does his job and the director does his job, and somehow the two just don't connect." -Vilmos Zsigmond, ASC
American Cinematographer "If you can reflect the light toward the lens, then you really start to create some magic." -Chris Menges, ASC, BSC
American Cinematographer "Tom Del Ruth [ASC] was the first guy I saw who combined hard & soft light out of the same instrument on an actor in one shot. [At first,] I thought the grips had made a mistake. He had the diffusion paper come halfway down the 5K Fresnel for the soft light on the face, while the paper didn't cover the light hitting th...e wardrobe." -Philip D. Schwartz
American Cinematographer "Past experiences can help support you, but the present is always full of surprises in moviemaking, as in life." -Peter Suschitzky, ASC
American Cinematographer "After 12 hours, your efficiency goes to zero & you're not doing anything except wasting film & money." -John V. Fante
American Cinematographer "Whenever someone talks about good cinematography, they don't realize there are many things you have to have when you start—not just a good cinematographer, but a good production designer, a good costumer, a good make-up artist & a good editor...[who all] put their heart & soul into it." -John Alcott, BSC
American Cinematographer "I always tell the actors what I'm doing & why I'm doing it." -Sven Nykvist, ASC
American Cinematographer "If you put the camera in the wrong place, you can totally ruin an actor's performance. Some act with their eyes, others with their bodies; with some, the voice is the most important thing, and others use everything. It's really important to watch the actors carefully & become familiar with them." -Caleb Deschanel, ASC

American Cinematographer "All too often we're likely to find ourselves throwing in an extra light here & another there simply to correct something which is a bit wrong because of the way one basic lamp is placed or adjusted. If that one original lamp is in its correct place, the others aren't needed." -Nicholas Musuraca, ASC
