My belief is that if you start a film all the way up at level 10, you've got nowhere to go.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The key thing is that you start every film from sort of a blank page, almost like you discover it like a child discovers a new world.
I didn't start out with a spectacular movie. Many people think you don't have to go from nothing to the top; they think you start at the top.
If you are going to do a film properly you have to give yourself completely to it.
Film actors reach a certain level, but they don't get beyond it unless they work in the theater.
Film editing is now something almost everyone can do at a simple level and enjoy it, but to take it to a higher level requires the same dedication and persistence that any art form does.
I think there's always this idea in your head, but you have to allow the film to take its own course.
You don't want to be starting a film not knowing what you want to do.
You just realize that at the beginning of 'Scooby' you're just going to start at level ten and stay at ten the entire time. It's hard. It physically beats you up. It's definitely one of the hardest movies you can do.
I view every film as a commitment to undertake a long journey. I suppose this has to do with my need to leave no stone unturned, and sometimes to even dig deeper into the mine.
Well, I think just the fact that you are making your first film is a huge step.
