I like to not be too involved in the beginning and during the process so as to keep this fresh look and be able to give constructive recommendation on the final production.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Honestly, production when you first start can be difficult to wrap your head around.
When you are writing and directing and producing, there is a lot of stuff to do. I like to finish one; then while I am editing, I will think of the next one.
One should always try to do the best you possibly can. I'm not in a race to the finish line - I won't put anything out until it's completely ready. You want to keep it special and unique for the customer.
I like to push myself to achieve a certain quality, eliminate the excess detail. I always want a high degree of purity.
I don't come in with any preconceived ideas, and although I will have done some preparation, I can go which way the director wants.
The process of editing is what I enjoy most - putting the pieces together and making sense out of them.
My favorite part of any project is the preparation. It's where you get to meet the people, the experts.
I wanted to make sure to always stay current, try to find new material and stay with the modern techniques.
If you would ask me what my ideal process is, I would say, long pre-production, long production and long post-production.
My time on the set is the least of my involvement. Most of my time is in pre-production and post-production.
