“You are one of the most intense camera professionals I have seen in my career as an actor. I love the unending energy you have to give the best… even if it’s just a 2 second shot. Love your passion and it shows in the end product. Keep up the good work mate.” ~ Raj Singh (Actor)
“There are few men in history as prepared as you now are for low light shooting!” ~ Dion Paz (Director)
“David was utterly thorough in his preparations as DoP for my short film Breathe. He knew my shot list by heart and without any doubt he absolutely knows his stuff, and I felt very fortunate to have a DoP who was very generous in sharing this knowledge.” ~ Kirsty Hamilton (Director)
Old sound sayings:
“They don’t walk out humming a two-shot.”
"Sound without picture is radio, picture without sound is b roll."
"Picture without sound is surveillance footage."
“What’s free on a flight? Peanuts and Picture.”
I think a director can spend so long with their film, from the start with the script, through the weeks/months shooting of it, then the many many hours in the editing room, that they end up totally losing the big picture perspective of it. And they no longer can see it "fresh" like someone who sees it for the first time without any prior knowledge.
One of the many big downsides to this, is that the director knows every syllable of dialogue inside and out, better than anybody else on the planet. Thus if there are issues in audibility with the dialogue, the director might gloss over this as they already mentally "hear" it inside in their own mind 110% perfectly crystal clear as they know the dialogue itself so very very very well.
