Why would Kathleen Kennedy have any say whatsoever on camera setups anyway.
She should start acting like a producer IMO.
You do realize she is also the president of LFL, correct?
I’m sorry, but when is it a good idea for the president of the company, to be deciding how many cameras should be used and where they should be placed?
Where can we sign up and direct Ms. Kennedy’s movies for her?
You’re jumping to conclusions here. Obviously KK was not that involved in the shoot from the beginning. It sounds like they are simply talking about the directors not working fast enough and how they did not accomplish as many shots as was on the schedule. “Set-ups” do not refer to the number of cameras being used. A set up involves everything that has to come together to get a certain shot: camera position and movement, lighting, dolly tracks, in-camera special effects, actor movements, etc. And all of these set-ups would have been planned in advance.
And remember, the specific day mentioned in the article took place very recently, after everything had pretty much reached a boiling point. I’m sure after KK and Kasdan saw the rough cut, and saw how the scenes were playing out when everything was edited together, they gave the directors specific instructions on what changes to make, scenes to reshoot, etc in order to fix certain problems with the scenes. And of course everything needed to happen within a set timeframe.
That being said, I find this all to be pretty amusing. This movie was a bad idea from the beginning and I wasn’t even planning on seeing it in the first place.
