Robert Altman Quote

I don`t storyboard anything. I go on a set in the morning and, unless a scene requires a lot of props, I won`t even tell the crew what I`m going to shoot first. I know what the setup is and which actors are required. But I have to see what occurs and like to shoot in sequence if possible. It makes for a lot of editing but I like to go on a journey with the actors. I also love working on ensemble movies like Nashville (1975), Short Cuts (1993) and Gosford Park (2001). Having multiple narratives makes my job a lot easier: if something doesn`t work, it means I can cut away to something else. I also like the audience to use their necks to take in everything happening in the frame. I`d hate to do something like Two for the Seesaw (1962) where there were just two close-up faces to look at.
