John Knoll Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von John Knoll:

Eighty percent of my job is to ask the question, 'If this were real, what would it look like?'

I have three daughters who grew up while I was working on the special editions and the prequels. They got to be big 'Star Wars' fans. And, you know, I would see them identifying with a lot of the male characters, and I just thought, 'Star Wars' could use more good strong female leads.'

You have to do what the story demands, but inside of those constraints, I try to inject as much realistic physics as I'm allowed to.

John Knoll

Any tool can be used for good or bad. It's really the ethics of the artist using it.

John Knoll

I loved movies. In particular, I loved movies depicting places and events that obviously you couldn't have gone out and shot. It was obvious you were looking at something that had been manufactured in some way. I was fascinated by that.

As Lucasfilm is developing IP and we're working on our projects, we should be using those films to advance the ball further down the field and to make things better for the rest of the company and the rest of the industry.

There are things that I am nostalgic about from the 'good old days.' I loved motion control cameras, actually. I love the way they sound. I used to do a lot of miniature work, and it's still warranted, but it's done less often, largely for budgetary, schedule, and flexibility reasons.

John Knoll

The way that Lucasfilm used ILM was George never restricted his thinking to things that he knew could be executed with the tools at the time. He would write what he thought would be cool and what he wanted from a storytelling standpoint with the assumption that, 'Well, they'll figure it out!'

John Knoll

It's harder to get your second picture than it is to get your first one.

John Knoll

I don't have any particular loyalties to one technique or another. I'm just trying to use the best for the job.

John Knoll

Reacting is so important to the craft of acting.

John Knoll

Having been a cameraman, I think about, 'Well, if this was real, how would this be shot?' I try to inject as much realism as much as possible.

John Knoll

Part of the process is always, 'Is there a better way?' We try to think through if there's something we can do better creatively or technically, or just is more efficient.

John Knoll

A lot of filmmakers understand that the work is done digitally, and it's technically possible to change it late in the game.

John Knoll

ILM was the first company that I had worked at that had a computer-graphics division.

John Knoll

You can hardly turn around and not see something that was done in Photoshop.

John Knoll

'Baby's Day Out' is maybe not a great movie, but... No, I've enjoyed and learned things from every project I've worked on. That was an important step in my career at ILM.

In animation, you can often defer decisions or make changes later.
