John Dykstra Quotes

In the first Spider-Man, at the end of the movie, Peter Parker had to deny himself a relationship with a girl that he’s in love with. The very next thing that happens is that he’s swinging through the city Picture Quote #1

George Lucas wanted this moving camera for all of the photography in Star Wars. He was willing to take a risk with the concepts that I advanced with regard to ways for doing that Picture Quote #1

I was involved in the color correction and the digital color correction. In an odd way, you end up making a film many times-the DVD, the archival record of a high-definition master, and so on Picture Quote #1

It’s an embarrassment of riches because you have directors who don’t better. You end up with so much stuff going on the screen that you don’t know where to look, and that’s what I consider self-indulgent Picture Quote #1

Film, as far as I’m concerned, is my area of artistic endeavor, so I never think of a movie that gets released as being all done-it’s just when they took it away from you Picture Quote #1

I like engineering, but I love the creative input Picture Quote #1

If you can imagine it, we can make it Picture Quote #1

Digital imaging has untied our hands with regards to technical limitations. We no longer have to be arbiters of technology; we get to participate in the interpretation of technology into creative content Picture Quote #1

You had to make a camera look like it’s traveling at 300 mph, but you couldn’t make it actually travel at 300 mph so you had to slow everything down and build devices to do that. So you were constantly engineering Picture Quote #1

As with sound, images are subjective. You and I may not see the same color red as red, but we will probably agree that the image on the screen is a digital image or film image, based on contrast, bit depth, and refresh rate Picture Quote #1

Once the image was in the digital environment, one of the problems was, we had no means to reproduce the color spectrum, grey scale, and contrast that film produces, without converting the digital file to film, evaluating it, then going back and changing the digital image Picture Quote #1

I think that era of mechanically figuring out of how to bring a particular evocative image to the screen was a really important part of my education Picture Quote #1

I come from an era when we had to figure out how to bolt a camera to a motorcycle or an airplane or dig a hole and find a canyon deep enough to repel into it so that we can capture images that were real Picture Quote #1

If you understand how the real world feels and looks and sounds it is much easier to create a virtual version of the real world Picture Quote #1

It’s easy to create something that has a lot of luster, but it’s very hard to make something that has a lot of depth Picture Quote #1

We stayed there 24 hours a day. We lived and ate and slept that movie. We were enthusiastic, not just because of the movie, but because we had such a great collaborative team. We had a really good time. It was very much a family Picture Quote #1
