The important thing is the storytelling and having a script that makes you feel you're living and breathing through the characters.
The true excitement comes from the actors - that gives you the true drama - and whatever I can do with the camera, that's icing on the cake.

I always try to make my characters people, and yet I always want to entertain.
As with anything, you need to keep your creative juices flowing and keep the character interesting.
To me, it's all about inspiration. What gets me creatively excited is a challenge.
