Television is a producers’ medium. There is a formula with a certain number of closeups for each show.
Friends of mine were the creators and executive producers of ‘Damages,’ people I knew from graduate school.
And ‘Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll’ was a very transitional film for me in that I was one of the producers and you know, came up with the idea with the writer and the producer, as well. But, it was a very collaborative event. You know, I really love working in that way.
Kanye is one of my favorite producers and artists.
We’re in the same company as 2NE1 and we get our songs from the same producers, so the influence is natural. Since they’ve done a lot of things before us, we want to emulate them. But at the same time, we hope there will soon be an opportunity to show our own unique color. We want to succeed with our own unique color.
The relationship with producers has always, in my experience, been, uhhh – tense. Challenging. But the actors and crew become like family. You’re there all those hours – more than on a movie. You come to depend on each other.
Hollywood’s best producers and directors are in film, not TV.
When the EPA says that property owners, farmers, and livestock producers must stomach higher costs, longer delays, and bigger headaches, it’s up to Congress to put up a roadblock.
The TV weatherman has always been one of the best, most secure jobs. They change anchors, they change the set, producers come and go. But the weather person hangs on forever!
Well, I mean there are so many producers that inspire me. I used to try to imitate production by certain people. And now I’m only interested in doing the opposite of that. I’m only interested in doing production that like no one’s ever done before.
Because of free trade, producers across Missouri can compete at a global level, and – due to the quality and variety of goods our state produces – we have become very successful at exporting.
I think the kind of togetherness and understanding between music directors and singers, and between producers and directors, is not the same anymore. Now, it’s all too professional.
A lot of producers don’t have any musical education. I couldn’t make the music I make without playing the piano.
I’m not chasing reality shows. Viewers want to see me and producers want me on their shows.
I want to work with producers who are unique and have a different sound.
Sometimes you get the luxury of having a script for a really long time, and you can get to talk with the director or the producers, and evolve with the role.
At 21, right out of college, I had two producers, about my age, who had never produced a show before, and they wanted me to write and produce an hour-long show before I turned 22. Which is a whole lot of work for someone who’s just an ‘airhead.’
We have such fantastic talent in India, and there are some great Marathi singers, great sound producers, great sound engineers, and a great breed of lyric writers. But the problem is that you need a platform.
The kind of in-depth investigative journalism we practice at ‘Frontline’ is thoughtful, rigorous, and time-intensive. It requires us to constantly seek untold stories and to give our producers and reporters the time and resources to dig into them deeply.
But it’s not just the cattle producers, it’s all the attendant industries like transport and shipping and feed producers and the like. There will be enormous ramifications across the beef industry generally as a result of the Government’s decision to ban all exports to all of the abattoirs in Indonesia.
We as comics do want an immediate response from the audience. It’s really quiet on the set, and there are only the producers, and the director, so a comic is looking for someone to give a reaction, even if it is the camera guy.
All it took was one good role to convince producers all over again that I could act.
We would make songs, and the producers said we should play it for my dad. I was kind of scared, I didn’t know what to think cuz we were just joking around.
I don’t read reviews, but I do get feedback from my peers and people I know, like other actors and directors and producers.
I have a very large forehead. I have a pronounced skull. Maybe producers think that there is a lot going on up in there.
Composers and lyricists are not responsible for storyline and casting. One can imagine actors shouldering this responsibility, since they charge for half the film. But producers never ask actors to share the losses. Instead, they train their guns on composers and lyricists.
I think if you contribute to a job, and it’s repeated and repeated, and sold over the world, and the producers are making millions, you should benefit from it.
Journalists ask me all the time, ‘Akshay, do you believe in the numbers game?’ My standard response: ‘I can’t count, that’s why I have producers and accountants who calculate for me. As long as I have them in my life, I don’t need to worry about numbers!’
The Fox News that I know and work in is a team of producers, technicians, photographers, truck operators and production managers who barely have time to eat lunch, much less engage in bad behavior.
I had actually sent an audition tape for Simon Pegg’s movie ‘Hot Fuzz,’ which came to nothing. Four years after the film released, out of nowhere, I got a call saying the producers of ‘Game of Thrones’ wanted me to play Hodor after they had seen that particular tape.
As an actor I think sometimes producers need a little bit of encouragement to see you in a particular role, they may not have as much imagination as you would expect.
There was a time not long ago when stories about Internet crimes were a tough sell for TV newsmagazines. Executive producers were wary because images of people typing on keyboards and video of computer monitors did not make especially compelling TV, even when combined with emotional interviews with victims.
I am a professional and maintain good rapport with all my producers, directors and co-artists.
Get more women producers, writers, directors. Why should we expect men to do it for us? They can’t.
I actually became a producer because I saw the producers getting all the babes. They were stealing them from the guitarists.
I work with a bunch of producers on every album, but the difference for ‘Evolver’ was that I couldn’t get any time with Kanye. I forget what he was doing at the time, but he was all over the place. We were never at the same city at the same time.
I certainly hope that we will get more women in power, when it comes to executives and producers and directors, because the problem is not a shortage of females who are qualified to do the job. It’s just that women are not favoured or chosen.
The more producers I talked to, the more I got looked at like I was crazy for wanting to make a live-sounding album.
It took me years to live down Dracula and convince the film producers that I would play almost any other type of role.
I don’t like begging money from producers.
Ian Fleming was my cousin, and he wanted me to play Dr. No, but by the time he got around to remembering to tell the producers, they’d already cast someone else. Spilt milk!
When I was very young, around 11 or 12, when I started actually meeting people, trying to get work, I had to meet producers, directors but I didn’t have the platform.
In my opinion, the BBC are one of the best producers of drama in the world, and it made me incredibly happy to get the opportunity to be one of the leading men in one of their productions.
There’s talk of the lack of roles for older women. It’s so tough and it’s soul-destroying what some female actors do to their faces to try and keep producers happy.
That said, we don’t approach these improvements as only a surface aesthetic. The producers and we think that these men are helped with their inner needs when they pay attention to their externals.
Well, I think one of the problems with ‘Birds of Prey’ was there were too many cooks in that kitchen. The studio, the producers, the network, all had very different visions of what that should be. They should have just let Laeta Kalogridis control that. Instead they decided to try to get their hands in the mix.
I asked the producers when I was doing ‘Y Tu Mama Tambien’ if they could give me a VHS recording of the film that I could show to my family, because in Mexico and Latin America, when you do a film, you don’t expect anybody to see it, especially not in the cinema.
In general, I don’t feel artists should need producers.
For directors and producers, you’re not going to get competent performers on your set if they didn’t start at a young age and understand professionalism.
Changes are required as far as scripts are concerned. People need to open up and experiment in story lines. But we don’t have good script writers, producers or directors. The Punjabi industry lacks cinema knowledge and professionalism. It is the saddest part.
I’m opposed to censorship of any kind, especially by government. But it’s plain common sense that producers should target their product with some kind of sensitivity.
More customers for Canadian oil means that Canadian producers can charge more for their oil, which then means that American businesses and consumers will pay more for oil.
Most of my friends in Nashville – almost all of them – seem to have had hits in the ’70s, either as artists or songwriters or producers.
