Sheena Easton Quotes

So, there's only so much you can do with a rock video.

Videos are more like photography. It's not as much about trying to tell a story as it is creating images.

Cinematography is infinite in its possibilities... much more so than music or language.

Making a video is one of the most exciting things for artists and fans. It's like a payoff.

I do enjoy making videos, even though they are long days and very hard work.

I always saw photography as a way to get to film.

If I can have the opportunity to go into an editing room, it's like the golden ticket for me. All I want is to learn about everything else in the filmmaking process. I just directed a music video which just came out and that'd sort of be the area of the field that I'm going to move into, I hope.

For me, I see filmmaking as art.

Filming is so much to do with rhythm, as is music, and if it isn't there then you know in the end nobody can save it really, they can't.

I'm looking to produce more stuff: TV shows, commercials, music videos and short films. I'm building my catalog so I can have some fun in between the times that I get to a movie.

With moviemaking, the audience always has to keep asking, 'What happens next?' If you have the wrong piece of music over a scene, people aren't going to get the scene. If you have the wrong camera angle, people aren't going to pay attention. That's as much a part of the process as getting people to talk to you.

My movie is born first in my head, dies on paper; is resuscitated by the living persons and real objects I use, which are killed on film but, placed in a certain order and projected on to a screen, come to life again like flowers in water.

I've always been interested in the camera and the effects of it - that's what drew me to film in the first place.

I also know what looks good before the camera, how to move the camera, and how to get a story on the screen.

My interest in filmmaking was always very much the visuals and images.

I've always wanted to make a music video with skating and different imagery, something very artistic.

Filmmaking can be a fine art.

We filmmakers are control freaks. For us, it's about bending the elements of a story into existence.

If you're a documenter, you're taking a video of something in the real world you want to capture. If you're a director, you're trying to create something in the real world.

I make my living by shooting ad-films, and, in fact, that's how I began my career.

In college, I interned at a production company and spent a lot of time on sets. I love music videos and felt I could be experimental and hone my craft in that genre, so I started there.

Shooting videos is the most intense, full-body experience.

When I was in college, I wanted to study film. My first passion was to be a cinematographer. So maybe there's something innate in my music where it partners well with images.

I'm a very visual person, which is probably why I make videos rather than write scripts.

At any filmmaking class, you learn the power of the visual medium and are always trying to minimise the words.
