You've seen how they make movies like Star Wars and stuff. They're never really there. They're in front of a green screen just pretending to be jumping around.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In a lot of movies, especially big studio ones, they're not constructed in any other way than to get people to like them and then tell their friends. It's a product.
The motivation for making movies is that people actually see them.
Ever since 'Star Wars,' there was a rash of how a movie was made. I remember that as a kid. I never really understood how movies were made until that movie, because it was such a technical accomplishment. Since then, you've seen more and more and more, for all different kinds of films, about what goes into the process.
The nature of the movies is different than it was five years ago, and they're all driven by the possibilities of CGI, which means you can make anything happen on screen that you can possibly desire.
I find it kind of weird that directors want to put themselves in their films.
Films work due to scripts, characters, and what you see on screen.
I always aspire to that, where it feels like the film was made by the characters as opposed to the filmmakers. I try to be invisible.
When you're doing a film that has so many effects, you do a lot of it on green screen, and you can't see what that world is.
When we do a movie with the studios, they wouldn't be asking us to do it, I don't think, if it was a movie they wanted to get into themselves. What you see is what you get with us, so they let us do what we want to do.
I don't ever do those kind of epic, huge, green-screen movies.
