God is not ignoring your prayers, He is working behind the scene perfecting all that concerns you, praise Him.
Such an Ibisian scene: both their faces were formal masks, their posture correct, pain kept inside where it cut deeper.
The best moments can't be preconceived. I've spent a lot of time in editing rooms, and a scene can be technically perfect, with perfect delivery and facial expression and timing, and you remember all your lines, and it is dead.
Although there was a screenplay, the actors never knew what questions I was going to ask them, and all of my character's voice-over narration and scenes were added after the fact.
There are a lot of times that if a detail in a scene or a beat, feels unnatural, they'll allow me to explore another direction to go until we're all comfortable with what we are doing.
Jimi was always at The Scene when he was in New York and we played many times together. He was just everywhere - he went out and jammed everywhere he was.
The degree that these scenes went to... there was a couple of days I was upset... I'd have to hurry back to the girls in the makeup trailer and have a bit of a cry because it messes with your head.
I like doing fight scenes. I always have, and I insist on doing as much of that action as they'll let me do. I think that's easy for me.
I find that is the best way to write during emotional scenes...put yourself and your emotions in every single word.-Nina Jean Slack
Every scene is a challenge. There are technical challenges, but often it's the simplest challenge where you feel a sense of achievement when you pull it off.
I did put on weight for the last half of the film, but the Ferris wheel scene was shot with a harness on me so that if I fell I wouldn't fall all the way.
I would actually write books totally full of nothing BUT kissing scenes, but apparently people like books to have, like, "plots" or whatever.
The real intimidating stuff is the scene where you show up for the first day. You kind of square off, and that is where you look each other in the eye.
I must confess I knew very little about the trance scene, I'm more house and commercial dance but it was really interesting and different.
I just couldn't get into the high school scene at all. I was fat, ugly and weird. I just couldn't do the makeup and the hairdos.
I enjoy the details. I enjoy coming up with ideas for improving the script, changing scenes and deciding what locations and wardrobe should be - the process of making a film.
And it's a question of how far we're willing to go in order to let the ego shine, in order to let that beacon penetrate not only the local scene but the world.
Many people think voice over artists just read, there's much more to it. Without acting beats, scene study and improving skills, you won't make it.
For me, screenwriting is all about setting characters in motion and as a writer just chasing them. They should tell you what they'll do in any scene you put them in.
If I want to kiss, I shall kiss. If I am told that a lovemaking scene is integral to the script, I will consider it.
I can't think of an instance at MSNBC where anything I said on the air was influenced by what was going on behind the scenes.
