The difference between a regular camera and a 3D camera, for an actor, is really no different except that the turn-arounds are longer.

Obviously, the cinematography of films is art, just as a still shot can be art. If I’m watching a Wes Anderson movie, the colour palettes alone, and the way they’re painted, could be art. With music, you’re a little bit limited, of course, because it’s only audio.
Frank Ocean
I have new bodyguards ever since I got a TV show. I didn’t know, but it’s a lot like becoming president. They tell you every single secret, like who shot JFK. When you have a TV show, they not only tell you who shot JFK, but they assign you bodyguards.

Gareth Edwards
I don’t storyboard. I guess it dates back to my days in live television, where there was no possibility of storyboarding and everything was shot right on the spot – on the air, as we say – at the moment we were transmitting.

In college, the line is so close that you can kind of half-heartedly shoot the ball off-balance and fading away. To shoot an NBA three, because the arc of your shot has to be a little higher, you have to be squared up and get your legs into it more, which can be tough in the fourth quarter.

A lot of people don’t want to hire disabled actors. They think you’re going to take twice as long over a shot, or they don’t want have to put up a ramp for disabled access. They think, ‘Why would I do that when I can just hire an able-bodied actor to play the disabled character?’
RJ Mitte
