I heard one of my favorite casting directors speak at an event this weekend, and this is what he said about the leading lady of the show he's working on: "Her performance lands two inches in front of her and the camera just finds it."
I love this image.
When I first started working in front of a camera, the machine intimidated me. That black eye saw everything and I felt like it was almost out to get me. To collect, store, and rehash even a split second of inauthenticity. My relationship with the camera has changed, and I trust it more and more. I know we're on the same team, me and the camera. And I like the idea that it will come and find the performance.
What adjustments did you make when you went from writing for the stage to the screen? Does a camera "find" writing differently than a live audience?
Best,
Laura
