It is impossible to preserve my friendship with people who are allegedly leaders when they are attacking their own people, shooting at them, using tanks and other forms of heavy weaponry.
I shoot reality-based movies, and in actual locations, shooting them with a star is next to impossible.
The film of tomorrow will not be directed by civil servants of the camera, but by artists for whom shooting a film constitutes a wonderful and thrilling adventure.
‘Longmire’ is an incredibly hard shooting schedule because the locations are usually an hour away every morning, and I come home every weekend. I fly back to L.A. for about 26 hours a weekend, just to touch base back at home. It’s a lot of work. It’s four really intense months.
Shooting the ball is a part of the game. Everybody can shoot in their own way. Not everybody can make. But everybody can shoot.
I love shooting guns. Not at people or animals, but I love shooting blanks!
There is no question that Darren Wilson caused the death of Michael Brown by shooting him, but the inquiry does not end there. The law authorizes a law enforcement officer to use deadly force in certain situations. The law allows all people to use deadly force to defend themselves in certain situations.
China, Russia and India are shooting for the Moon. United Arab Emirates says Mars. Other private citizens and companies are heading either to Mars, asteroids, or the Moon.
It’s important for me as an actor to know the entire script before you start shooting, and especially if you’re directing, you don’t want to be struggling with anything.
Donald Trump called for the closing of borders to Muslims; John McCain said, in response to the President’s address on the San Bernardino shooting, that ‘this is the war of our time.’ As that shooting shows, we react to terrorism with far more intensity than we do to an ordinary crime.
Programmers have been wandering out and shooting a shotgun into the night sky and hoping they hit something, and I end up paying $150 for channels full of nothing I want to watch.
While I was shooting for ‘NH10,’ my hair had to look dirty in the film. To improve the texture… quality of hair, I had to use a lot of conditioner.
To me, romantic means, um, you follow your heart more than your mind. Sometimes when you’re shooting a film, you have to follow your heart.
I was in Hyderabad shooting for a Telugu film with Mahesh Babu when Aamir called, saying he wanted me to play the widow Jwala in ‘Mangal Pandey.’
At the end of the day, there’s not a day that goes by without a mass shooting.
Doing a sitcom is like doing a play – you rehearse for three or four days, and then you shoot what you rehearsed on Friday night in front of an audience. An hour-long drama is like shooting a movie. You’re shooting 13-14 hour days. The endurance itself is different.
I’m currently shooting ‘Ava’s Possessions,’ which is a really fun movie about a woman who gets possessed by a demon. I call it ‘Memento’ meets ‘The Exorcist.’
The four of us couldn’t have made a record with the time left over when we were shooting the show. We were on stage from 7.30 in the morning ’til 7 at night. Later on, when there was a break from filming, and we were sick of doing it the old way.
Vetrimaaran expects his actors to be spontaneous. Since he mostly prefers shooting in live locations, you have to be prepared for everything when you work with him.
When shooting in real spaces, the work of a cinematographer begins where location meets production design meets time of day. No movie light will ever look as real as the sun, so scheduling becomes truly paramount to naturalistic lighting.
When you’re shooting concert scenes in films, we try to bring in, where appropriate, as much of a sense of live performance as possible.
It’s always been my way to move about a little more horizontally. My career has never been like a shooting star.
I’ve never been jealous of any girl in my life, but while shooting for ‘Remo,’ I was ‘really jealous’ of Sivakarthikeyan. The day I saw him in his pretty nurse look, I knew that he’s going to steal the show.
The only part of ‘A Ghost Story’ that was reactionary was a temporal one. I had spent so much time making ‘Pete’s Dragon’ that I was really impatient and excited to make something new. When this project presented itself, I was ready to jump right into it. I started shooting two days after ‘Pete’s Dragon.’
It’s all about having fun and shooting something that you like. Where it goes afterwards is up to the movie gods.
Shooting a film is like a kismet quest. You have thirty days and you need magic to happen. So that’s why I wear suits. I’m praying to the gods, and I’m doing everything I can to respect the powers of the world.
I’m always thinking, ‘What next,’ even while working on one play or shooting for a film.
I wanted ‘Night of the Living Dead’ to look naturalistic, but we weren’t able to do it because we were shooting with a blimped 35mm camera, which is automatically static.
With indies, all they have is their script and it’s very important to them. The characters are better drawn, the stories more precise and the experience greater than with studio films where sometimes they fill in the script as they’re shooting.
It feels fantastic to be a part of ‘Fear Files.’ I am having a great time shooting for the show as it is not just another horror or crime show.
The first draft of ‘Ex Machina’ is extremely different than the finished film. That would be like 10% of the original draft stayed into the shooting script.
For target shooting, that’s okay. Get a license and go to the range. For defense of the home, that’s why we have police departments.
For a two-hour movie on a 20-day shooting schedule, it’s O.K. to have an actor who’s a pain in the neck.
I didn’t audition for the part! The role was offered to me, and I was so excited to be a part of ‘The Haunting Hour.’ It is such a cool show and it was so much fun shooting the ‘Intruders.’
When you’re shooting a movie, it’s two months of your life usually. You don’t really have time to see anybody else. Your friends are put on hold while you’re shooting, and what you have is the family that you create on set.
Believe me, when I finish shooting ‘Mad Men,’ there’s a huge chunk of time where I have a really hard time leaving my house without fake lashes on. Which is a complex because I’m not very good at applying fake lashes.
Every time I’m shooting a movie I want to kill myself. Because I don’t see the light in the end of the tunnel.
Scenes change all the time. Scenes will change while you’re shooting them, and you just have to roll with it ’cause that’s what makes it funny. It’s not being stuck in your character and how you’re gonna do something, but to react to other people and to really have a real-life conversation.
The Industry’s at war. I think it’s about control. You can make all of the financial arguments that the industry has been shooting itself in the foot, but it is an industry built on a foundation of ownership and exploitation of intellectual property rights.
Sentencing a political opponent to death after a show trial is no different to taking him out on the street and shooting him. In fact, it is worse because using the court system as a tool of state repression makes a mockery of the rule of law.
I almost always do things that I like, in some form or fashion. Every once in awhile that means that I don’t think the script is any good and I don’t have any trust in the people, but the film is shooting in Sri Lanka, or somewhere like that, so I’m going.
I was very new to working in front of the camera when I started shooting ‘Gatsby’, so I set myself the mission of gleaning as much information as possible out of the much more experienced actors. The cast was astoundingly talented.
Shooting a film with seven to eight actors together is complicated sometimes because you have to cover everybody.
I like going to rifle and pistol clubs and joining them in target shooting. I also share the same respect for individual initiative and love of family.
I didn’t go out shooting for anybody in particular because I shot for everybody unparticular. I make records for Muslims, Christians, rock ‘n roll kids, skateboard kids.
I think that first-person shooter is a stable genre that’s going to be here forever, just like there are going to be driving games forever. There’s something just intrinsically rewarding about turning around a corner and shooting at something.
I’m not an NRA member, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t appreciate shooting blanks out of a machine gun.
I’m definitely not drawn to shooting on a stage, I’m just not.
When you’re shooting at 9 A.M. at a club, you have to use all of your acting skills.
In general, I just try to make the people that I’m shooting feel like they are in good hands. I’m open-minded, and I invite them to be open-minded to the process. I’m direct and curious.
I was shooting a mini-series for Sundance/BBC, called ‘Top of the Lake,’ that was shot by Jane Campion, who’s a beautiful native New Zealander and famous film director. The role I was playing was very intense, and they shaved half my hair off. So, I looked like this post-apocalyptic character.
I only wish the sport of shooting was more reachable and there were training centers all over the country where youngsters could go and try shooting.
