I was working with actors who were very easy to work with, but I can just imagine how, with all the other decision-making problems that come up along the way, in addition to that, the whole point of what your doing is following performance and character development. You're building your story with those building blocks, and it is not easy. I've only come out with more respect for directors, from this.

Even in traditional filmmaking, you're always trying to find novel ways of telling stories, and this is different.

My problem has been with purely digital films. I feel the danger there is that the kind of short-cuts you end up having to take are the ones that are most telling in the main characters.

You certainly can't be a perfect person, coming up with the 100% correct solution, all the time. It's just a combination of a chain of good decisions that comes up with a successful product or a successful film. That's what you hope for. But, nothing about the system is 100% fool proof.

The advantages of a virtual production pipeline are that you can reduce the footprint of your production down to the size of the stage.

One of the things I've always tried to do in filmmaking is that you don't tell the story, you try to show it.

I never feel like I'm the guy that's got all the answers.
