More quotes by Peter Jackson
When I start a film, I can sort of shut my eyes, sit somewhere quiet and imagine the movie finished. I can imagine the camera angles, I can even imagine the type of music. Without knowing the tune, I can imagine the type of music it needs to be.
Peter Jackson
Structure is important in film, but there's often structure to be found in the most unlikely of places! It's quite possible to build a structured story and retain idiosyncrasy.
Peter Jackson
Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. I found it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay small acts of kindness and love.
Peter Jackson
New Zealand is not used to wealth. In America wealth is kind of a thing of pride. Here it's the opposite. The more you've got, the bigger the target you are.
Peter Jackson
The music in a film like this is as critical as anything because Kong is mute. He doesn't talk.
Peter Jackson
With the right movie, 3D can enhance the experience. Absolutely, it can make a good film a great film. It can make a great film a really amazing film to see .
Peter Jackson
I think that you can treat a classic like a museum piece -stuffed and mounted- or you can make it a living, breathing narrative that is unfolding right then and there.
Peter Jackson
I want to make movies just like King Kong. You know, dinosaurs, big gorillas - it's everything that a nine year-old boy would fall in love with.
Peter Jackson
In an ideal world the script is written lean and tight and therefore there are no scenes left on the cuttring room floor and therefore no extended edition.
Peter Jackson
[While shooting close-ups] you study real eyes, you study how the light reflects in them, you study the back of the eye, you study the way irises reflect emotion. You go into great scientific detail.
Peter Jackson
To his ex-wife in court, he said I lost interest in you when the Botox lost its effect and you looked like a plastic doll that escaped from a fire.
Peter Jackson
Writing a screen play with a group of collaborators is like the Lennon McCartney collaboration .... sometimes one or two people do more than others on certain parts of the process and vice versa.
Peter Jackson
To people in my industry I'm usually a guy that tries to generate his own projects and I remain very elusive when people try and attach me to big projects.
Peter Jackson
And so I look back on not just the last ten years but everything that I've done as being sort of an ongoing growing continual film school. I mean I don't think I've got to a point where I've achieved anything that feels like, a particular milestone, but there's still a lot more to learn and hopefully a lot more films to make.
Peter Jackson
Rivalry doesn't help anybody.
Peter Jackson
New Zealand is not a small country but a large village.
Peter Jackson
I adore physical miniatures and try to use them as much as I can and have a bit of a fetish about that.
Peter Jackson
It's interesting how the frame rate actually changes the perception of the 3D as well as making it more comfortable to watch.
Peter Jackson
I wanted people to believe that there could still be this little undiscovered piece of the world that survives still on Skull Island.
Peter Jackson
I don't like putting glasses on and watching 3D. I don't mind wearing glasses, but it's the dimness of the light and the fact that you're filtering the light. Whatever 3D process is being used is a filtration of light, which means it's blocking some of the light.
Peter Jackson
