Anamorphic doesn't really lend itself to the big shots.

Shooting digitally would not have been easier. Cameras are the same size. I always shoot on film unless I have a reason not to, which I haven't had yet.

If you do any thriller or horror movie a big part of the process is accounting for the cell phone.

When you're a kid and you see gangsters living the life, you kind of want to be like that.

Now that everyone's shooting digital they want the anamorphic to soften the look. You know, to make it more filmic.

I think that everything changes when it goes through the Mac; it's cheap. I think people then don't pay too much importance to the take, if you can do 40 takes.

Obviously in the close-ups we bring extras around or we do it later, but them running in and the big shots, they don't know. They're just coming out.
