About this Quote

Frankie Avalon's quote is a testimony to the value of remaining still when filming a close-up shot. In the movie market, a close-up shot is a kind of shot that concentrates on a person's face or a small object. When filming a close-up, it is very important to continue to be still and also not move your head or blink, as any kind of motion can ruin the shot. This is due to the fact that the cam is so near to the subject that any type of movement will be very obvious. By not blinking or relocating your head, the shot will be much smoother and more professional looking. Frankie Avalon's quote is a suggestion to actors and filmmakers alike to remain still when recording a close-up shot. It is a reminder that also the tiniest of motions can destroy a shot, and that it is important to continue to be still and also focused when recording.
