Boy, am I glad there wasn't a fourth episode of Lord of the Rings.

If you understand how the real world feels and looks and sounds it is much easier to create a virtual version of the real world.

Digital imaging has untied our hands with regards to technical limitations. We no longer have to be arbiters of technology; we get to participate in the interpretation of technology into creative content.

It's easy to create something that has a lot of luster, but it's very hard to make something that has a lot of depth.

I like engineering, but I love the creative input.

Human beings are really attuned to their senses. When you work in film, you are working with the visual and audio senses. An understanding of tactile and other components that go into the creation of those objects are important to making them look real on screen, like a plasma of energy.

As with sound, images are subjective. You and I may not see the same color red as red, but we will probably agree that the image on the screen is a digital image or film image, based on contrast, bit depth, and refresh rate.
