Filmmaking Quotes - page 9

I was going to go to a four-year college and be an anthropologist or to an art school and be an illustrator when a friend convinced me to learn photography at the University of Southern California.

I would like to find a way to embrace what Led Zeppelin did, in filmmaking.

Acting is always at the core of my life, but I'm also excited about producing. I'm excited about directing, and I have a life in the filmmaking world, and so I want to explore all aspects of it, not just the acting, but acting is the root.

Nicolas Cage

I think the worst that can happen in filmmaking is if you're working with a storyboard. That kills all intuition, all fantasy, all creativity.

The big-budget blockbuster is becoming one of the most dependable forms of filmmaking.

Loving photography and wanting to be a painter, it all ended up in the process of filmmaking. It's strange professionally be to connected because it connects you to architecture, it connects you to painting, it connects you to writers, to actors. It connects you to really all of the arts. (Wim Wenders)

I believe that filmmaking - as, probably, is everything - is a game you should play with all your cards, and all your dice, and whatever else you've got. So, each time I make a movie, I give it everything I have. I think everyone should, and I think everyone should do everything they do that way.

When I was a kid, there was no collaboration; it's you with a camera bossing your friends around. But as an adult, filmmaking is all about appreciating the talents of the people you surround yourself with and knowing you could never have made any of these films by yourself.

Steven Spielberg

I mean there's something magical about filmmaking and people that work within film. It's the most beautiful thing, because so many people are coming together and they just think about a common goal. It's almost similar to the military, but all of a sudden you'll be in there and you're about to do something and everybody is thinking about the next person. It's not always the case, but the films that I've worked on it's been that way, and it's amazing. It makes you want to work harder...

Rick Yune
