Frank Darabont Quotes

Well, as far as film, either you're making a film or you're making videos. Digital capture is always trying to emulate the range and look of film. I believe personally that film has more.

Everybody who worked in film misses holding pieces of film, holding it up to the light, and seeing exactly where something was image-wise.

I just love the look of film. But I have nothing against HD.

Film still looks way better than digital.

I love having 30 shots of every scene.

I'm kind of a tech geek. With the camera work, I chose to shoot super 16, which has a real tactile feel. I feel it's as authentic as possible; I love the way the grain feels.

There are many applications for which film is going to be better, for a very long time.

I love film, and I love seeing movies on film.

I love the quality, feel and history of film. I love the pictures of the giant cameras and the way it was.

But I suppose film is distinctive because of its nature, of its being able to cut through time with editing.

I think the camera was always my obsession, the camera movements. Because for me it's the most important thing in the move, the camera, because without the camera, film is just a stage or television - nothing.

When we talk about how movies used to be made, it was over 100 years of film, literal, physical film, with emulsion, that we would expose to light and we would get pictures.

I'd like to own a movie camera - a proper one, with film, not a digital thing. Celluloid has more character.

I think digital is getting so much better. It's harder and harder to make the argument now for film. All things being equal, though, I still prefer to capture on film.

I love film, and I love short films.

I love celluloid. I love the look of it.

I would rather explore the medium of films than television.

I've had a really hard time dealing with 35mm. I greatly prefer HD.

All in all, I'd like to venture into film. Films are my staple diet, so I would love to be part of a feature film, independent film... it all just depends on the story and the people behind it, really.

I fell in love with film and its potential. The idea of putting one image next to another image and creating meaning blew my mind.

'2001' used a lot of what's called 'front projection.' You project an image onto this giant reflective screen, and the image bounces back and comes back to the lens and seems to be in the background behind the actors. The whole 'dawn of man' sequence in '2001' was projected eight-by-ten photographs of the African savannah.

I really tried to get comfortable with the notion of shooting digital on 'Foxcatcher' and just couldn't. I shot many tests and experimented with all sorts of techniques to manipulate it into a place that worked for us, but it just didn't happen.

I love film. I've always been enchanted by doing film. It's something I grew up watching - classics and directors I admire - so that's something I've always been passionate about.

A lot of people get very misty-eyed about celluloid. When I think of the time that's wasted in sending it back to the lab and having it developed and brought back, it would make me insane. I love getting my hands on the stuff immediately. That doesn't work for everybody. It just works for me.

I try to shoot film wherever possible. There's nothing like it.
