Vilmos ZsigmondI like to say that lighting is about taking the light away. I often like to use the shadows more than the light.
Vilmos ZsigmondThere are a lot of directors out there that don't like to deal with actors, I think. Many of them have said something like, in the future they will actually manipulate the actors on their computers. But don't believe all this.
