Boy, Am I Glad There

I Like Engineering, But I Love The Creative Input.

George Lucas Wanted This Moving Camera For All Of The Photography In Star Wars. He Was Willing To Take A Risk With The Concepts That I Advanced With Regard To Ways For Doing That.

Because I Come From That Old-school Optics Environment, I Know Stuff About Depth Of Field And Camera Movement And Things That Are Not Necessarily A Part Of The Curriculum For People Who Started On A Box And Have Never Done Anything That Wasn't On A Box.

It's Very Much Like Filmmaking Always Is-you're Always Asked To Do Something That You're Not Sure You Know How To Do. So You Make An Educated Guess As To What You Think Will Work And You Hope Between That And Plan B, That You Can End Up With A Product That's Really Good.

I Was Involved In The Color Correction And The Digital Color Correction. In An Odd Way, You End Up Making A Film Many Times-the Dvd, The Archival Record Of A High-definition Master, And So On.
