You may not quite understand the cinematic tricks that go behind the making of a film, but as long as you feel it, I think that's the important thing.

Obviously, movies and music videos are different because they're different lengths, and in a movie, you have more time to explore an idea. But I feel like they're all the same, really.

When you're filming, it's very different from what you see on screen.

Making movies is about creating illusions, and they can be subtle illusions, but it's all a cumulative effect as you make these little tweaks. It kinda adds up to something, hopefully.

I think making a movie is like drawing or creating an art piece. The artwork reflects part of your personality, but not all.

While it's easy to sit back and cherry pick bad visual effects and blame the industry for making movies the way they are, you're really not seeing the whole picture.

When you create a movie, you create something in your image.

Sometimes when you're editing a movie, you have the thing that you don't expect - which is you make it longer and longer as you go along.

The parts of a film should be in proportion to the whole, and a long film pasted together out of quick little scenes makes me dizzy.

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.
