The making of television has changed quite a bit. Now you have to do them n cheaper budgets.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Part of making TV is the process - you just have to churn it out.
You might make a lot of money, but it's very hard to get out from under that rug. The more you can reinvent yourself, the better - and unfortunately TV is designed not to let you redesign yourself.
I'd like to do more TV; TV is completely different than working in movies in a lot of ways, it's like making a really compact movie. Because you don't have as much time, especially hour long shows, they move so quickly.
If there's something decent going in television, the mediums now are kind of equal. Television has become much higher quality.
TV is what sells your product.
When you're making TV, the last thing you want to do is watch TV. It's too much.
I think that televisions are unnecessarily complex. The irony is that as the pictures get better and the choice of content gets broader, that the complexity of the experience of using the television gets more and more complicated.
There are moments when television systems are young and haven't formed properly, and there's room for lots of original stuff. Then things become more and more top-heavy with executives who are trying to guarantee the success of things.
There's so little difference between television and features as far as you make the film. I mean, you have less money and it's a little quicker, but the concept is all on television.
Television is so dictated by time constraints that you have to make quick decisions and go with them.
