One of the more striking similarities is how much gets left on the cutting-room floor. While cinematographers shoot way more frames than can ever be used, with great imagery that doesn\u2019t make the final cut, writers ask more questions and get terrific answers that we can\u2019t include, either. Our editors\u2019 pens are just as sharp as your editors\u2019 blades (or computer mice!). This year, we decided to create an editorial reel of sorts to share some of the best quotes that didn\u2019t make it into the ECA profiles produced for the magazine. So without further ado&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sources of Inspiration<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel cinematography is more similar to music than to painting.

I like to think about Vermeer and Caravaggio as being some of the great cinematographers of their time. They didn\u2019t just create images, they told stories with their images.
