- Filmmaking is not (nor should) be a show off from (any) gear specs to us salivate over anything in the path of the show. It's just another one, a new camera won't bring you more skills to your craft.
- Filmmaking is time and how skillful you're able to manage it. Other than that, amateurism in any of both senses.
- I agree skin tones are crucial. I disagree skin tones are the new form for art of film.
- Funny how perception and difference coexist among the human race, distinct periods of life, backgrounds, etc... In a line: cinema is a lie told at 24 frames-per-second; it doesn't matter what Godard thought. Irreal, a replaced, pictured reality as alternative is everything we want when we suspend our own disbelief.
- I am not and I wouldn't be worried because there's always room for excellence, no matter what device is, where your screen is and so on. Cinema is alive & kicking whatever your game is.
- I did a law school with seven centuries in our back, one of the most prestigious law institutions allover the world. However, I had the luck to learn a way more in my film school years, mainly as far as aesthetics concerns apart any NFE (non-formal education) realm of these times we all live in.
- To infer filmmaking is behind some other subjects such as medicine, law, economics, math or engineering is basically to neglect one of the most complexes fields you can reach knowledge about.
- The very consistent truth along the filmmaking path is... to balance a combo as your best wizard stick within.
- Filmmaking is actually not based on camera looks but mind stuff to really offer.
- When I was at the law school before to conclude my learning there, I had dreams, you know? I thought filmmaking was much easier to match my own expectations. Then, I went to film school where I could have the experience of 4-years full training on post-production and directing departments. I also realized at that time the postgraduate studies in the field of production could lead to better waters for the kind of work I would like to experiment and became a producer.
- As everything in filmmaking, the proof is in the pudding.
- Filmmaking is invariably a workaround, the tool is primary and secondary at the same time; never the shooter though.
- Filmmaking is a combo match. People tend to forget it at times.
- The proof is in the pudding, filmmaking is this.
- Filmmaking is a combo. Certain variables are much relevant than other ones, for sure.
- Come from shooting on 35mm film, pointedly before digital, and you'll never complain against the ergonomics of any of these little cameras.
- Anything to bring a significant contribution for filmmaking must be regarded as a bless instead, such as affordable 4K.
- Cinema is inaccurately coloring the world.
- Cinema is by nature unnatural, truly fake.
- People at times tend to forget they become camera geeks because of filmmaking.
- "To re-invent cinema" doesn't necessarily mean to ignore the past as a bygone aesthetic. Take Europa (Zentropa in US) by Lars von Trier for example.
- If you think you'll need much more technical stuff than anything else, not many can only infer that you surely don't know volumes of your craft then.
- Like cooking, [we] need to bake the footage ; ) Like love, a plant needs lot of care. Like life, stomach won't fill up with water nor alcohol all the time. Neither love. Filmmaking is not love making but certain rules apply. Sorry for so strikingly technical reply.
- [À la Ortega y Gasset's man] Filmmaking is a combination of circumstances for sure.
- On Gilles Deleuze, we can invariably say too little in the teeth of his contribution when not only key for modern cinema and media, the digital revolution as well. But, crossing various spots of the man of nowadays. If someone thought the modern man of XXI century, this man was/is -- his legacy didn't die in that autumn day, the most important thinker of half-century before.
- [on Gilles Deleuze] In a very personal Joe's line of my own, still puzzled a couple of decades later: what a feat!
- One of the criticism made over Gilles Deleuze is exactly the fact he was used to explain maths and science concepts with no much care if Mr. and Mrs. Sixpac have effectively any idea about them. The criticism over the critics resides essentially in the lack of two Aristotle mutual concepts: memory and whole, ignoring the wide contributions of Deleuze such as what Cisney identifies both Derrida's deconstruction and Deleuze's constructivism. So crucial to filmmaking in any of its several departments to join the parts and make some sense, if any, to the piece when together.
- The deeper I go the deeper I find you.
- Nonintrusive capture devices are 'the' one camera you have in hands possible to give you that shot you're looking for and no other produces.
- I'd say light (= time) and variable dimension texture (= space) where DOF game enters, they are for professional use, well, anything you're able to make a living from is for that intended use.
- I've already seen the dying declaration of the cinema many times. Nothing dies, everything is transformed instead.
- The lighthouse of my father's example as true indie all along his career made my course in the transition from film to digital into independent world and the need and conviction of its real meaning. Both consciousness and coherence. ~ February 28, 2024
