cutting way cameras
It's kind of dangerous to cut in the camera, but that's the only way I know how to direct.
today television radio
The radio for these women is like television is for us today, which is really like looking at the radio.
looks actors cameras
I didn't need the insurance. I do it again if my DP tells me it didn't look good in the camera or if the actors didn't hit their marks. But if everything was working why do it again?
art years literature
As one who loves literature, art, music and history, I've been deeply rooted in the Harlem Renaissance for many years.
mean america people
There are so many famous people now that are not really gifted or talented at doing anything other than getting made up, putting on tight dresses, acting badly, getting married. I mean, what the hell? I don't know where we are going with this here in America. And we are setting a tone for the world, because everyone looks at what we do.
moving scene masters
There are some scenes that work beautifully in a moving, sweeping master, which is how I like to work.
understanding shooting pages
The first thing that goes into shooting a scene is understanding whats on the page.
children men thinking
It goes back to a style of moviemaking I remember seeing as a child, in movies like The Man With The Golden Arm, which I think was shot all on a sound stage.
impact horrible-person frogs
There was a time when fame meant that you were either someone who is really gifted in your field or you were making an impact or you are famous because you were a really horrible person, you know? But now, you can become famous by eating a frog. It's just not the same thing.
play west prophet
Michael Ralph brilliantly plays the street prophet, a West Indian who foreshadows the Harlem riot.
vision way scene
That's the only way I can control my movie. If you shoot everything, then everything is liable to end up in the movie. If you have a vision, you don't have to cover every scene.
real world furniture
I use something that is a real staple in the directing world. It's called a dance floor. You lay it down so that it's so smooth you can roll around, and you can put furniture on top of it. It's seamless and you don't see it.
fleeting honey fame
Fame is fleeting, honey. Fame is fleeting and it changes.
thinking actors tables
I think a good director casts a film so that the actors bring a lot to the table.
