Even dramatically how you position some person, the depth, the existence [in 3D] is different than a flat image even though by itself it has depth, we create the illusion of depth. For example, some of the shots I have to stay closer to the actor because it's a young actor, I like it closer for some of the shots. I watch 2D scenes next to the camera, then when I go back to my station and watch it in 3D I have to go back and reduce his acting, he has to shrink a little bit because he peeks out more.
Ang LeeA lot of people will think I changed the book: โso youโre the tiger instead, youโre the tiger who ate the cook.โ Thatโd be totally expository, like in the book, โyouโre the tigerโ and then it stops there. That seems to have the magic touch. I bring everything together. Thatโs why he made up the story, the whole thing becomes internalized. That might be the magic, but all I did is not so much interpreted, but try my best to keep everybody still staying in the movie. And I was like, โGod, itโs so hard to do.โ I make movies for a long time. It doesn't get easier.
Ang Lee3D is quite a lot more advanced in animated movies; for live-action movies we're just taking baby steps, we're just in the beginning. So when I think of doing that I was very excited. It didn't go as far as I think it should, I'm still a novice, but I think it's fair to say it's a new cinematic medium, experience.
