My style can’t be held within a pixel medium. Like, it needs to be performed in a living, breathing space. People need to have all their senses ready to take on my comedy, and unfortunately, TV alienates at least their sense of touch, taste, smell.
The bank bailout should have been more focused on helping small and medium sized banks, on helping homeowners. I think the trade agreements are a disaster.
Snapchat is a really intimate medium.
Film is not a woman’s medium. If you weren’t the hottest kid in town, men stayed away from you.
Personally, I think that for example the chemical directive in its present form does too much damage to the chemical industry – especially the medium sized businesses – and will hurt our worldwide competitiveness.
I care about the connection with the audience. Film is such a powerful medium. Movies can change the way people think.
Radio, which was a much better medium than television will ever be, was easy and pleasant to listen to. Your mind filled automatically with images.
I stood in front of a mountain and was overwhelmed by the beauty and energy; I had goosebumps. I thought, if I could record this feeling, go back home and pour it out again so other people can have that feeling, this I would want to be my work. I knew it was acting – I wanted to be like a messenger or medium.
Cinema is an infinite medium, so we should take advantage of it, I think.
Videos are a very difficult medium to be good at and also a difficult medium to consume quickly.
As a communication medium, social media is a critical tool for terror groups to exploit.
For someone like me, music is all I’ve ever thought about – playing big shows, and then, when you take something that is based around your music and put it in a completely different medium, it’s a really interesting and cool emotion to watch.
We would have been happy if we could have assigned just three categories, large, medium, and small; the point is, we wanted to avoid personal judgments. It actually turned out to be quite a finely tuned scale.
Capra is an old-time movie craftsman, the master of every trick in the bag, and in many ways he is more at home with the medium than any other Hollywood director. But all of his details give the impression of contrived effect.
Those who forget good and evil and seek only to know the facts are more likely to achieve good than those who view the world through the distorting medium of their own desires.
Music is this medium to express who I am and what I’ve been through and my thoughts and what my feelings on the world are. We’re all on the planet together; I’m just using this medium to express how I see it.
I’ve tried in my career to do most everything, because it all intrigues me. And I’ve found the first time I work in a new form, I discover all the things that make that an exciting medium. I’ve been very busy most of my career. I’ve had very few vacations.
When I play a game, I want to play, not necessarily laugh. If you try to make me laugh at the expense of interactivity, then you’ve just created another funny game that isn’t very fun. The videogame medium itself is a terrible place for complicated humor, drama, and character development.
There are people who’ve told me cinema is a visual medium and you don’t need to say so much. When I write the script, all these lines of what the characters are thinking are written. Once the film is shot and the lines are dubbed, I tone it down in postproduction if I feel it gets heavy.
I believe that acting in any medium is the same thing, it’s discovering the truth in where you are.
I am primarily a writer of books, and I enjoy that. But I come to realize that a lot of people prefer a visual medium.
Theater is still a medium which attracts young writers. You’d think that it would be all over by now, with television and film. But it’s not.
It was because of my great interest in the West, and my belief that its development would be assisted by the interest I could awaken in others, that I decided to bring the West to the East through the medium of the Wild West Show.
Basically, I love to act. The medium is not important.
TV is a writer’s medium.
The only way the Internet will continue to remain the thriving medium it has become today is to keep it under the control of the United States.
I think, in Japan, animation isn’t relegated to being a genre unto itself. It’s just a medium by which you can tell any number of stories, be it horror or action or adventure or drama or whatever, and we’re trying to do that as well. Every film that you go see from Pixar, we’re hoping is a little bit of a surprise.
In the TV world, we are seeing a lot more power going to the writer. I sense it is a writer’s medium.
Film is a very collaborative medium. If you’re smart enough, you learn how to maintain your vision while drawing resourcefully from all the people around you.
Whether the medium is ready for consumers is better judged by those consumers. I sometimes read online – but not often. The stigma is attached to pay scales. Much online publication is no pay or small pay.
Until film is just as easily accessible as a pen or pencil, then it’s not completely an art form. In painting, you can just pick up a piece of chalk, a stick, or whatever. In sculpture, you can get a rock. Writing, you just need a pencil and paper. Film has been a very elitist medium. It costs so much money.
Most filmmakers looked at it as a medium to palm off sub-standard stuff. I don’t look at it like that. Your TV screen, mobile screen is as relevant as a cinema hall.
The amount of sophistication varies according to the quality of the medium, and to the state of the same medium at different times; it must be attributed in the best cases physiologically to the medium, intellectually to the control.
I am a singer, first and foremost, but the medium happens to be the cello.
I think that every time you bring a subject into the mainstream landscape of television, it can have a huge impact. Television is such an influential medium.
Cable is a great medium. It’s something I respond to. I’m not doing sitcoms. People don’t find me funny. That’s just the way it is.
Myth is a powerful medium because it talks to the emotions and not the head. It moves us into an area of mystery.
Though television is a smaller medium than the stage, you can’t be afraid to be big.
Kids are plugged into some sort of electronic medium 44 hours per week.
Certainly anything that is news or opinion needs to be free on the Web, because the Web is this very fluid medium that is very much driven by links and the flow of visitors through a discussion via links.
I’m very interested in politics, and I feel TV is a more political medium than film.
Celebrity has become, for better or worse, an art form. An artist can use themselves as a medium to become a celebrity as a walking work of art.
Photography can never grow up if it imitates some other medium. It has to walk alone; it has to be itself.
In 1998, it was possible to make a big-screen romantic comedy about email. Yep, email – the same medium we often think of now as boring and even annoying.
‘Suit’ garnered a lot of appreciation and love from the audience, and it gives me immense happiness to start my Bollywood journey with such a wonderful track. ‘Hindi Medium’ posed a perfect and appropriate opportunity to showcase my song and ensure that the beautiful track reaches the global audience.
When you’re working in a collaborative storytelling medium, every step of the way, you’re opening yourself up.
Currently under FCC policy, indecency determinations hinge on two factors. First, material must describe or depict sexual or excretory organs or activities. Second, the material must be patently offensive as measured by contemporary community standards for the broadcast medium.
Many films you see in theaters are financed through outside sources. With big films, the studio will pay, hoping to reap the reward of their big bet. But with medium and small-sized films, outside production companies and financiers often foot the bill.
Except theatre, there is no medium which can satisfy good artistes in India.
A tender beef roast with a well-browned exterior is about as easy to pair with wine as a dish can be. You have your pick of just about any medium- to full-bodied red wine, from any place.
Part of the decision I made was to move very fluidly from one medium to the other, and so it has stayed as part of who I am. I don’t know if I have a preference.
My tools, my medium, include pictures and live actors.
I think video advertising is a hugely compelling medium.
Television is certainly a writers-led medium. They’re the ones who are there, they’re the ones that are conferencing or whatever, with directors coming and going.
Cinema is not just a medium of entertainment. Yes, it should entertain, but cinema is made to convey a message, to say something.
I feel, having the choices I had, I felt I had more control over my own medium than I did over photography.
I don’t think there’s an option for me to fall in love slowly or at medium speed. I either do, or I don’t.
I think that story ballets, as great as they might sell, they’re a really dated and awkward medium to tell stories through. I think there needs to be an updated or different approach to storytelling in dance. There needs to be less of a separation between the storytelling and the dancing.
