You talk about what a director, he was smart. He said, Turn the camera on!
Meaning of the quote
The quote suggests that a director was very intelligent because they knew to simply turn on the camera and start filming. This shows that sometimes the best thing a director can do is just let the actors do their work, without overcomplicating things. The director recognized that the most important thing was capturing the performance, rather than worrying about complex camera setups or other technical details.
