The things people say about Martin (source IMDb boards)
“Every time the 'Directed By Martin Wood' comes up me, my sis and dad all cheer cause we all know it's going to be a good episode (Atlantis). I mean did any of you see all three parts of The Siege. Totally awesome and all done by MW.”
”Martin Wood is so freaking awesome, man.”
“I have been trying to get more info about Martin as well. I love him on the behind the scenes stuff as well. If anyone has any info on this man PLEASE share. I'm guessing he's one of those who's strictly private.”
“If Martin can read this: my admiration for you Sir, you are one of the best TV or film directors in the world.”
“Martin is one of the best television directors around. And he just is not getting the praise that he deserves!! He has made such a contribution, especially to SG-1, and frankly I don't understand why he has not gotten more recognition. He Is often on the behind the scenes stuff from Stargate and he is so funny and nice as well when they interview him, he's great!!! I would like to know why no one has filled in a profile for this lovely man, does he have a family? How old is he.. all the good stuff, the details ... more about this amazing man... I have no clue and I would love to know simply because he is SOOO talented!!!!”
“I have had the pleasure of working as a background extra on SGA a couple times with Mr. Wood as director. He is such a humble and down to earth guy. Typically a director doesn't have a lot of time to talk to background extras, but Mr. Wood makes the time. He is a super positive guy and conducts the respect of everyone on set, while at the same time remaining friendly and encouraging.”
“It TRULY is amazing how little recognition this man gets. EVERYTHING He directs is absolutely fantastic and always a pleasure to watch. His sense of humour never fails to amuse and I get so excited when he does the audio commentaries, he manages to educate you and make you laugh at the same time.”
”Should Mr. Martin Wood ever have enough free time to read this, You TRULY are admired and appreciated.”
“You can definitely tell that he's an exceptional director.
Ever noticed how some of the later season action scenes in Stargate SG-1 just don't look proper? Its hard to explain, but it looks like they're not doing a good job lighting the scene or something, and they don't do any of the cool fancy one-shot movements (Wood talks about those types of shots all the time in the audio commentaries). I see this with new directors on shows, maybe its some new style or something.
When Martin Wood or Peter DeLuise are directing, however, I never notice anything (anything that could concern the the directing anyway) that distracts you from just enjoying the show. This is probably part of the reason why he doesn't get any recognition, because he's doing his job well enough that you're paying attention to the story instead of sloppy directing.”
