I really enjoy blocking and staging. I think most of visual storytelling is camera placement and how to stage action around the camera.

Hiro Murai

I was a painter before I was a writer, so I was always a visual artist. And my writing, to me, was always visual.

Peter Landesman

Before I became an actor, I was a producer and a visual effects supervisor. Our industry wasn't making the kind of films I was interested in.

Rana Daggubati

The terrible tragedy for every director is to watch an actor do what you want and not have the camera rolling - and never get it back again. So I always try to roll the camera before anybody's really ready.

Sydney Pollack

It's not just the actor in front of the camera. And it's important to have respect for all those people that work behind the camera.

Dacre Montgomery

I know every actor says this, but the people behind the camera are great. They always have answers.

Joel Gretsch

Create your own path. Cultivate it. It'll take time. It doesn't happen overnight. I was an actor for many years before I got behind the camera.

Matthew Bonifacio

Unlike a lot of choreographers, I don't always start with the music. I often start with a visual artist, and then find music that fits the world of that visual artist.

Wayne McGregor

I always hankered to be a composer - I was mad about music, though I never studied seriously, and can't read a note. But I learned to play the piano and became pretty skillful at improvisation, especially after a drop or two.

Conrad Aiken

I've been wanting to go into music ever since I can remember. I mean even before I became an actor. I just thought it would be a tough field to break into, so I became an actor instead.

River Phoenix

I've been a visual artist my entire life, so translating music to imagery has always come naturally to me. Tycho is an audio-visual project in a lot of ways, so I don't see a real separation between the visual and musical aspects; they are both just components of a larger vision.

Tycho

I don't have any great pickup lines. I was never an extrovert, so I always had to have someone meet me halfway. If she was interested, we'd come together, and if not ... When I became a movie actor and became well-known, it took care of itself. Maybe that's why I became an actor.

Clint Eastwood

Being an actor in TV or movies is different. A film or TV actor, if put in theatre, won't know certain dimensions, while a theatre actor won't know certain things when he comes before the camera. So I think a film actor can learn emoting from this theatre counterpart, while the theatre actor can learn about camera techniques from the film actor.

Barun Sobti

John Cage is someone I got into as a visual artist, before I even knew his music. I don't think a lot of people even know that he does visual art.

Devendra Banhart

Because storytelling, and visual storytelling, was put in the hands of everybody, and we have all now become storytellers.

LeVar Burton

The best visual effects are when you shoot as much of what you can in camera. And it's really good for the actor's performance to have something real.
