I film quite a bit of footage, then edit. Changes before your eyes, things you can do and things you can't. My attitude is always 'let it keep rolling.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Each film I make changes me in some way. When I start the picture I'm one person and by the time I finish I'm another.
I learned that the best way to work is to allow the scene to live on its own before making major adjustments, whether in rehearsal or on film.
I love editing. It's one of my favorite parts about filmmaking.
When you're making a film all by yourself, that requires you to have quite a bit of a point of view in order for anything to get done.
You know, I don't really do that much looking inside me when I'm working on a project. Whatever I am becomes what that film is. But I change; you change.
I'm always coming back with too much footage. Most filmmakers do, but I'm always surprised that it keeps happening to me.
Once I finish shooting a film, I usually sit on it to see how we can make it better.
With my YouTube videos, I used to edit a lot of my own videos, so I've gotten used to seeing myself on camera.
Everybody hates to edit my film. Back in the day, we called it film - now, my digital cards. But I shoot an awful lot of pictures. I don't want to hesitate, because I believe the moment is everything in a picture. So, I take the pictures.
Same thing with film, by the time you've finished shooting and you've really been into everything, you've touched up everything in the editing room. You've gone in there and taken little bits from everything.
