Quote

Sometimes, when people use too much blue screen in movies, the actors don't look credible, because they have their own opinion of what the thing will look like, and each person has a different opinion.

It's part of my job to maintain the emotional reality and the naturalism even when the atmosphere is contrived.

My father had a Super 8 camera when I was a kid and sometimes he would use it. I did some animation with it. I did a lot of flipbooks.

I like the days when all the filmmakers had was a film roll, a camera and a gangster. The Mack Sennett comedies were all like that. They'd create little teams to go out and shoot films.

I've always loved 3D. In fact, as a kid, I was exposed to 3D at an early age because my grandfather was a specialist of 3D in cinematheques. And then my cousin put it in 'Science of Sleep' with toilet paper tube cities. But he was a specialist and I always wanted to do something in 3D.

If you're not grown up enough to understand that a trailer is not done by the director, then fine. Judge the movie from the trailer.

The beauty of doing film is that you construct whatever you do block by block and you can build something that will stay.

I don't like movies that are too manipulative. A lot of movies thrive on really pushing your buttons and making you hate the villain.

I shoot people in a way that makes the audience feel equal to them. And it's hard to express and it's hard to execute but I think it works on every level - the choice of the material the choice of the actor, my relationship with the actor, and so on.

You cannot do everything you want with the 3D camera, it's too big, and the digital quality of those cameras is a little bit limiting. With film, you have a lot more subtly, like with highlights and color. In terms of sharpness they (both formats) are very close but in terms of nuance, of color and contrast, film is far superior.

Every great idea is on the verge of being stupid.

Image
I think always my interest in making movies is to have something really technical mixed with something that was not so formal...something free.

Image
I read about some movie where they did everything on blue screen, and the actors were not even connecting to each other.

All these gadgets, the phone and the computer, they expose the inside of your brain in a way that's bad.

Image
I want to explore new ideas and put myself in a place where I can finish a project that is more unusual or that doesn't seem doable.

I don't like those shows where people get eliminated every week, and then they have to get meaner to survive.

I learned to drive when I was 35. I'm driving like an old lady and very close to the wheel. I don't take many risks, and when people yell at me I say 'sorry, sorry, sorry!' I don't have road rage yet.

In my opinion, it's more interesting to see magic happening in a world that feels grounded. If the world is already crazy, then anything can happen. So it's better to start with something real.

I want to see abstract art move. Especially in the '30s, you had animators doing innovative work, and I was entranced by that. It's basically what you see when you close your eyes, when you fall asleep.

I've dreamed a lot, but i'm not a very good sleeper.

Since I was a kid, I've liked to see how things are done. Sometimes when you see how things are done, it's like watching a 'making of' within the story. You see the physical aspect, the construction of things.
