I didn't know the technical language of filmmaking, so I said, 'OK, I'm going to do my own storyboard,' because I had to explain to the crew and the technical people what I wanted.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I only make storyboards for action scenes. Once you make a storyboard, you don't film; it can be a stiff move.
There's got to be something you want to tell and that's the engine which spurs all of the work you have to do in order to create the story, but you have to love some sort of nugget of what you're telling to be a filmmaker.
I want to put everything I think I've learned about filmmaking and storytelling and put it to the test in other areas.
When you write and direct your own film, you basically know exactly what you want. Or you hope to. For the studio, it actually can make life a little easier, because if you have a bunch of questions, they only need to call one person.
I never storyboard. I hate it. I don't understand why so many directors want to make comic strips of their films.
If you want to tell stories, be a writer, not a filmmaker.
When you direct your first film, you always start by telling stories that you are familiar with.
I have always meticulously storyboarded my films from beginning to end.
I don't storyboard. I guess it dates back to my days in live television, where there was no possibility of storyboarding and everything was shot right on the spot - on the air, as we say - at the moment we were transmitting. I prefer to be open to what the actors do, how they interact to the given situation.
If you just storyboard something, you've already planned it, and you're stuck in the limitations of your imagination.
