Joe Flanigan Quotes

When you're doing a film that has so many effects, you do a lot of it on green screen, and you can't see what that world is.

I wish they taught green screen acting classes.

You've seen how they make movies like Star Wars and stuff. They're never really there. They're in front of a green screen just pretending to be jumping around.

Acting on a blue screen is awful.

On 'Game of Thrones,' we always shoot away from the green screen because it's bloody expensive to shoot green screen.

I work a lot with a green screen, which is really time consuming. All the special effects are.

Working with green screen, you really rely on the director in a way that you don't on different types of films.

I'm not a great fan of green screen. It's not much fun for actors. It's great for directors and technical people and cameramen.

CGI is done after the film is done. It's through the computer. Most of the film is not computer-generated special effects. Most of it is that creature that is in the room with you.

I don't like camera trickery and editing and doubles and all of that.

Green screen's not my favourite thing to do.

It was close to like a 67- or 70-day shoot for 'Tron' on stage, in the suit.

It's hard, the green screen; it's a different way of working.

Acting with a green screen has been physically challenging. I look at the green screen and then I'll look somewhere else and everything looks red. It's a bizarre thing where green has an effect on my vision, but it's fun.

The production scale of 'Okja,' which I had never experienced before, was jaw-dropping. Not only the actors but also all the staff were experts in their fields.

My background is in VFX, and I know from experience that the best VFX are when you have something real in the frame that you can either extend or work off of. It was really important to get as much as possible in camera, for real.

Other effects in the show included models of the ships which were extremely expensive to make. We used to do our shots in front of a blue screen and they'd put the effects on after.

Ever since 'Star Wars,' there was a rash of how a movie was made. I remember that as a kid. I never really understood how movies were made until that movie, because it was such a technical accomplishment. Since then, you've seen more and more and more, for all different kinds of films, about what goes into the process.

I loved being behind the scenes and finding out how they make movies.

When you take something that's inert, and through motion, give it life, make it appear to be alive, living, breathing thinking and having emotions, that's animation. But when you take something that's live-action, and move a part of it, that's a special effect.

I would love to produce a film.

While making Genevieve, I learned there could be a lot more to a film than just acting in it.
