Three Reasons Why "Fixing It In Post" Will Ruin Your Career

Thu, 23 May 2013 15:21:00 -0400

Three Reasons Why "Fixing It In Post" Will Ruin Your Career:

By playing it “safe,” what you, the director, and the production are essentially saying is that you don’t know the story you are telling. After all, we are not in this business to just create images; we are in it to tell visual stories.

“Fix It In Camera & Finesse It In Post.”

Amen.

Sony Head Amy Pascal on Women Directors: The Whole System is Geared for Them To Fail

Sony Head Amy Pascal on Women Directors: The Whole System is Geared for Them To Fail:

Amy Pascal: I have begged Kathryn Bigelow to make Spiderman, James Bond anything I can think of. So far I haven’t hooked her. I think it is about women showing up and saying that’s what they want and not taking no for an answer.

Forbes: That they want to do the big blockbusters?

Amy Pascal: I think that the whole system is geared for them to fail and we’re going to have to change a lot of what we do in order for that to happen.

PIRACY AND THE DOWNTURN

PIRACY AND THE DOWNTURN:

The true story behind the MSN figures is a mixture of piracy pushing up the price of live music and a generation of younger people that is likely to be poorer in real terms than the one that preceded it.

In many ways the news may be worse than the MSN survey suggests: not only can young people not afford to go to festivals, they can’t afford to do anything.

“I always tell people that the trick to being a good editor is “out-caring” everyone else in the room. If you can care more about the project you are currently working on, more than even the writers, directors and producers, then you’ll make something great.”

Opinion: Xbox One is a desperate prayer to stop time:

This is arrested development, the last gasp of the console generation, dropping names and making obeisances to live actors and television and film personalities as if this were still a prior age’s clutch backward for creative legitimacy. It is a movie-soundtracked prayer to stop time.

Can’t agree more.

Steve Jobs’ Dream Device Has Arrived And it’s made by Microsoft. Meet the Xbox One.

Steve Jobs’ Dream Device Has Arrived And it’s made by Microsoft. Meet the Xbox One.:

Americans watch TV more often than they do nearly anything else, and when they’re not watching TV, they’re often playing games. The Xbox One is the first device I’ve seen to bridge these two activities in a way that isn’t clunky. If Microsoft can own that overall experience, the giant of the American tech scene could reawaken.

Link bait title but whatever, good luck with that.

Improv emphasizes showing over telling, a principle that often manifests in a technique known as “the invisible game” on Key & Peele. The central joke of these scenes is ladled out, beat by beat, but never spoken of. “The audience loves to figure things out,” says Key, who has extensive professional acting experience and a unique physicality honed by emulating silent masters such as Chaplin and Keaton. “They love it when a performer leaves a trail of bread crumbs for them, and they get to participate in the comedy.”
