Acting in Different Media

I don’t often hear actors talking publicly about the technicality of their art. But Chris Pine gave some interesting insights in a recent interview. He was particularly talking about the challenges of doing voice work for animated films, in this case his role in Rise of the Guardians. He also mentions how theater work is different from film.

Film vs stage: Cameras etc

Not only is the shooting schedule out of the sequence of the character arc. You know those deep intense looks from Zach Quinto’s Spock? For example, when he attacks Kirk?

What we as the audience do not see is what is all around Quinto as he does this scene.  Yet as a well trained actor, he seems to ignore it all and lets us only see the furious Spock.
