Interview: Janusz Kaminski and Lincoln →
From Jackson Truax on Awards Daily
“Any good DP wants to know the sequence of the edits… Steven [Spielberg], he’s extremely knowledgeable about all the aspects of filmmaking. But when you’re working other with directors who are more focused on performance and not necessarily how the scene will cut, you help the directors to get the coverage so the sequences will edit in a semi-prophetic way...
[On Lincoln’s box office:] That proves to me... the nation is relatively intelligent. And that the nation wants to watch a movie that requires actual, intellectual participation, and listening to the words and not just being entertained... That’s really great. I think there’s enough of an adult audience who are starved for a movie of good content. And that has relevance to what we’re experiencing as a nation right now.”
