"When I do the music, I make the musicians listen to what's happening in the film. That way they treat the dialogue as if it was a singer."

Music

Quote_1.png
Mike Figgis
"You can do really slow movements with it, like zooming in for a minute and a half. The audience isn't aware that the camera has moved, but there's subconscious tension there."

Media

History

Quote_1.png
Mike Figgis
"Each film is different. Time Code was very quick - a matter of months. Miss Julie has been on my shelf as a script for some seven or eight years. But then the shooting process was very quick - 16 days."

Time

Quote_1.png
Mike Figgis
"I am intrigued enough to want to continue, and also to try and work with companies like Sony on modifying the cameras and making them more user-friendly and efficient."

Work
