Onto the best tweets.
A fan asked him about how in New Moon the camera pans into a painting to tell a story, much like in Citizen Kane the camera pan into a picture for a flashback scene. Here’s the comparison in question:
Chris responded:
Yes... One of the reasons Citizen Kane is so revered is that the stylistic flourishes they used were so strong they became film language... Why did he choose to work on New Moon?
Well. After The Golden Compass I wanted to prove that a faithful adaptation of a book would work. I had something to prove and needed to get back on the horse. Also I really liked the cast, and felt that I could do something different from the first movie but interesting A fan favorite scene in New Moon is Bella’s spiral into depression after Edward leaves her. Chris explains how he did it.
We (vfx supervisor Susan McLeod and I) wanted to find a filmic version of the blank pages... a motion control shot would allow us to keep KS in the same place while changing the exterior. Whole shot took 2 different days to shoot, months to complete. Advice for anyone who wnats to work in film?
I think a film degree at a well-regarded program is good for directing or editing, useless for acting or writing. How can Edward have an orgasm if he’s a vampire?
I have to say I haven't thought about this enough. Why are him and Rob so hairy?
With me it's laziness, with Rob it's just sheer coolness Is he happy about directing New Moon only, would he have liked to direct Eclipse too?
Totally content. It was time to move from vampires to gardeners. Does he like Friday by Rebecca Black?
Yes, I like it actually. Poor girl, she didn't know what she was getting into. What does he think about the wolves?
I have noting but respect for wolves and hope never to be torn to pieces and eaten by them. On director’s hissy fits.
Depends on the director. Many directors are unaware of how lucky they are and how much they owe their success to the crew. On Kristen’s underwater scenes in New Moon.
She had to do some. And she had a bad bad cold that day. Tough kid. More on set hissy fits and Rebecca Black. A fan asks about the famous Christian Bale outburst on the set of Terminator, he answers.
Well, he just won an Oscar so I suspect he's not too bothered. More concerned about teens who make mistakes on the net and have to live w/it Does Rob have a shot at an Oscar for Water for Elephants?
I DON'T KNOW IT LOOKS LIKE A VERY MAINSTREAM FILAND THE CRITICS CAN BE DIFFICULT When Paul and Jacob are in wolf form, wrestling, the camera shook like it was knocked off. Was this on purpose?
I liked it as an odd "realistic" touch. Stolen from Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer. A fan asked him about Kristen’s swearing on set and it looks like he deleted his answer, but he said:
If S=swear and K=Kristen and s=s, KS=s multiplied by min/mph
