Notable Changes
After half a century on our screens, Sam is something of a wise authority as to the changes that have occurred in Hollywood and how movies are made. He’s seen it all. A lot has changed, but not everything. Sam says, “there are some constants that are never going to change.” He said that perhaps the biggest change in Hollywood is the technology.
“Changes that have been made in the technological world have revolutionized the movie business on almost every level. It’s most obvious in the field of special effects, but it pervades every part of the production of every kind of movie. From the guts of the camera to the size and placement of the microphone, to the tools available in the editing room. Everything has changed.”
