A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet.
I'm working on bringing the instant film camera back as part of the future.
The digital camera is a great invention because it allows us to reminisce. Instantly.
They both go together you can't be in front of the camera hosting a fitness television show in front of 75 million households and not have trained 6 days per week year round - in a bikini no less.
People are so used to having their lives filmed they're not even conscious of having cameras around. I still have that sort of suspicion when a camera comes out. I view it as a thing to fear.
When I'm acting I'm two beings. There's the one monitoring the distance between myself and the camera making sure I hit my marks and there is the one driven by this inner fire this delicious fear.
When I have a camera in my hand I know no fear.
The actual truth about Gad is it's one of the original 13 tribes of Israel so you can actually trace my lineage back to like those guys who had like a hand in the Bible and have since become very famous from that. So I come from very famous lineage. Granted they didn't have cameras back then so none of them had TV shows.
There's always going to be that pressure when you're in front of the camera. When you're famous it's just an extreme version of reality and there's a pressure to look a certain way.
I can only speak from my own personal experience being behind the camera and in front of it but every magazine cover you see is completely airbrushed.
After having done this whole slew of press for 'Big Love ' now I'll have anxiety dreams for like a week and a half about all the stupid things I said. I can't even imagine being in front of the cameras all the time. I had a weird dream the other night that I was on 'Jersey Shore.'
I design my shots. I walk the rehearsal as the camera and say 'this is where I want to be... I want this look.
The reward is that you can actually create a world separate from reality with a story actors music and camera design. When it works it can entertain move people and teach us all.
I couldn't be a cameraman or a designer or an actor - I have to be a director because I learned how to do that from my dad.
Joanna points her camera at a section of society unused to having cameras pointed at it. But I don't know about categorizing them in terms of class I'm a bit wary of that. My dad is the son of a shipbuilder.
I get that same queasy nervous thrilling feeling every time I go to work. That's never worn off since I was 12 years-old with my dad's 8-millimeter movie camera.
The nude scenes were a little eerie and I felt a bit odd. Yeah when the camera scanned up my body I said to my friend 'Now that's a close-up.' I mean you see every inch of my body. But I'm okay with it and so it was cool.
While the recent addition of the National Guard providing a support role manning computers and cameras has allowed more Border Patrol agents to work the field more agents are still needed.
I'm interested in all kinds of pictures however they are made with cameras with paint brushes with computers with anything.
They had some really cool rigged cars and things that were different that they would tow behind the camera car that were actually on these trailers that manipulated side to side and stuff like they were getting hit and actually put the actor right in the middle of the chase.
In the car and in front of the camera I tend to be very calm but behind the scenes I can get fired up and passionate I just don't see the need to shout my mouth off in public.
We had the guys from X Men 2 do the cameras. They had a 360 camera that would go from one car up in the air and over to another car in a continuous shot while the film was still rolling going 90 mph.
The movie business is very difficult but the music business is just impossible. So I'll play in bands and record and play songs with other people but for me it's a form of expression that all I need is me. I don't need cameras or agents I can just have a piano and sing and feel totally verified.
I've managed to keep a clear head and remain sane in this business because I remain a kid off-camera.
