Big shots are only little shots who keep shooting.
You trust your work. You understand throughout the season everything isn’t going to be perfect, stay confident, continue to take the shots you’ve been taking and whatever happens, happens.
You give me enough shots, I’ll average 20. You give me a particular system where I stick close to the basket, I’ll average 10 rebounds.
I was fortunate enough to interact with him when I played for RCB in IPL. I learnt from AB as to how he prepares for a game. I get amazed by the kind of strokes he hits and the time he has got to play those shots.
I mean, defending isolations is easy, but it’s hard at the same time. I think I’m a pretty good defender, but when you go against guys that can make tough shots, it makes you feel so bad, like, ‘Oh, man, these guys just made a tough shot on me.’
I feel like people often say I am not good at controlled shots or hitting it low, and I feel I’m very good at it, just don’t need to use it as often.
I used to bring my books to the shoot and used to study in between the shots.
Robin Hood is often seen as the hands-on-hips, archetypal, tally-ho hero. But, realistically, the one calling the shots wouldn’t be at the front shouting about it. He’d be the one you don’t expect.
I’ve always wanted to be a director; it’s just how my mind has always worked. If I hear music, I see music videos and all the shots and setups to edit it all together. If I interact with a person, I’m seeing a whole scene come to life.
Everyone equates good cinema with boring shots and boring films – where a character takes 10 minutes to walk down a corridor, and still nothing happens at the end of the shot. Those films tried to be cool and fashionable by dispensing with drama, which, in my opinion, is absolute nonsense.
Dirk was obviously a player that I looked up to. In high school I actually wore No. 41 in honor of Dirk. He was the first player where I was like this guy is seven-feet tall and shooting jump shots and shooting threes, this is what I want to be like.
Some friends are better shots than are casual enemies.
To flight approach shots lower with the scoring clubs – what I consider my 7-iron through wedges – I stand two or three inches closer to the ball than normal.
Try to place the camera somewhere where you get most of the information from there, so you don’t need to have too many shots and be too explanatory and expositional about the scene.
Don’t give them 3-point shots if that’s what they’re trying to do and embarrass you in any way.
My view… was that something could happen during the credits that could help the film, so that the establishing shots aren’t carrying the total burden.
Drew McFedries was the hardest hitter I’ve ever been around. A big, strong, athletic guy with power. He didn’t have to hit you with a hard shot or load up – even the little short shots could hurt you.
I think against Cub I get it done. He comes in, he’s very open, he throws wild shots, and he has never, I promise you, in his life felt power that I have.
I shoot a lot of bank shots and a lot of shots around the perimeter. There’s a lot of things I like to work on, but I know my bread and butter when it comes down to it, and that’s in the post.
Some people see ESPN. They see the long shots. They see me scoring the basketball, but they don’t show often too many assists – and I’ve been doing that my whole career, being able to get the ball to the guy at the right time.
Obviously, you hope to make shots. But you can’t put too much pressure on yourself to make it, because whether or not they go in, you’re creating space everybody else.
You watch Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather fight, Floyd can just throw a few punches, or he can do a lot of defense; he can slip a few punches, let Conor get a few shots in. You can’t really do that in wrestling without getting scored on or putting yourself at risk.
I could score some points, but I take more satisfaction in blocking shots, rebounding and getting my teammates open shots.
If they want peace, nations should avoid the pin-pricks that precede cannon shots.
I actually started as a model builder and quickly progressed into production design, which made sense because I could draw and paint. But I kept watching that guy over there who was moving the actors around and setting up the shots.
I like to play aggressively, and it just lets me go for even more shots.
‘CSI’ was a little cutting-edge at the time because it made TV look like movies. It was shot in that Jerry Bruckheimer style with dolly shots, putting the camera on rails so stylistically, it looked aesthetically more like a film.
Some shots people won’t think are right but I want to give the crowd a good show and get new people into the sport.
I could have played in the NBA. I would have put up 1,000 jump shots a day. I’ve got that type of work ethic.
Summer blockbusters are very expensive to make. They have things that have to be expensive, such as 600 effects shots or CG characters that have to go a certain way, or a film design that is different but expensive.
I think with anybody who’s doing well in the public eye or whatever, there’s always gonna be a shift because people don’t wanna see somebody happy all the time. And they’re gonna try to take shots at people.
When we get comfortable, we start relaxing, taking bad shots, especially me I take bad shots when I’m tired.
I’ve done some effects shots. I’ve done some compositing. And in ‘Just Like Heaven’ did a lot of, like, motion control and things like that. But never done, like, computer-generated imagery in action.
Golf is a thinking man’s game. You can have all the shots in the bag, but if you don’t know what to do with them, you’ve got troubles.
Some players like to change clubs around the green to hit high or low shots. I play all of my short-game shots with my 54-degree sand wedge and change my ball position to hit it higher or lower. I think it’s easier to learn one club than four.
It’s hard for women who make a lot of money and make decisions all day long, then they have to come home and be ‘Stupid Sally.’ Men need respect, and they need to know that they can lead in the relationship, so even if they don’t make the most money they need to be able to call the shots.
We do have pictures on the wall, in our office in Belfast where we spend half our time. All the head shots are on the wall. So yeah, we just throw darts at the ones we don’t want anymore.
If you’re in the public eye, people are going to take shots at you.
For those aspiring to make a living from travel photography, it’s a sad fact that the boring shots are the shots that are going to make you money.
Nowadays shots are created in post-production, on computers. It’s not really photography.
I feel that I can make certain shots, tough shots, and that I can play better when things aren’t going well.
I’m playing Kyle Edmund, who is so solid. He’s an unbelievable player. He goes for his shots. He’s not afraid to take it to the guy.
Golf is not a game of good shots. It’s a game of bad shots.
I am receiving as much love for ‘Four Shots More Please!’ as I got for ‘Pink,’ if not more. It’s heart-warming.
You’ve got to be able to guard hard and then work yourself offensively to get shots.
I like to play attacking shots, even if it is in the first over of the game. If I get out playing attacking shots, then so be it.
I’m not a sports fan, but I remember watching highlights with post-rock guitar instrumental music over these slow-motion shots of football players. It’s triumphant, and it’s emotional, and that’s what sports are for.
The work I’ve been putting in, I’ve kind of just been preparing myself for every situation. I’ve been doing a lot of off-the-ball shooting, catch-and-shoot shots. And preparing myself to play on the ball as well.
Here’s what I’m going to say about that: my personal thought about the brilliance of ‘Peeno Noir’ as proven by the fans’ appreciation is that, when watched back, what makes it so exciting is the random locations and the random costume changes and the multiple shots that we’ve done all over the city.
There’s so many different styles to it. I use my athletic ability to create shots for open people, I run the floor, then also space the floor as well. That’s what I try to do.
What wins still goes back to who you are as a player and what you do well. If you’re a great 3-point shooter, you try to get as many of those shots as you can. If you’re a good driver, get in the restricted area.
The art of boxing is seeing spaces and being able to take shots. The hitting and being hit have to become one. Your reactions have to be so in the moment. There’s no time to think.
Now, I just made an animated movie a few years ago, ‘The Tale of Desperaux’, and that had twelve hundred shots in it. Twelve hundred CG shots is a pretty big plan.
I know I am bad-tempered and unruly, so I like calling the shots.
A lot of people say I’m reckless and I take too many shots. I take shots on the forehead. There’s nothing wrong with that. It puts me in punching range.
I have never seen anybody, and I don’t think there has ever been anybody like Nick Diaz in all of MMA. Can you tell me another guy who is going to stand right in front of you, take big shots, and still keep coming at you with those body shots and those amazing combinations?
