There are some sequences in films that I think work filmicly, that stand out to me, but thats much more to do with the staging and the cutting and the mood of the thing as a sequence, the way everything comes together.

Maybe that sounds a bit pretentious, but I think life experience is always more important than technical knowledge.

I loved movies ever since I was a kid.

I think of filmmaking as a form of communication. Maybe it's also an art, but that's for somebody else to decide.

Partly why I love to operate is that I love to watch an actor within a shot. When you watch a shot, and you know that everything's come together, I feel I'm the first person watching it. I always get pleasure out of that.

I am not a fan of having too much gear.

I never really considered film as a career, but I knew I didn't want to be a builder. So I went to art college, and it just gradually happened.
