“Commercials are also any opportunity to meet new crew and work with new kind of rigs. You can explore working with different people without having to make the full commitment of having to do an entire feature film with them and see whether you like them. Also it's great for testing out new equipment, like on the last spot we just did, I used a lot of drone technology, really cutting edge drone stuff, more than I've ever done before, and it worked out really really well.” PeopleWellsKindDifferentDoneLastsFilmUsedOpportunityStuffTechnologyCuttingCommitmentEdgesSpotsFeaturesCrewEquipmentTestingDifferent PeoplesDronesCutting EdgeRigs Author:Paul W.

“These commercials, I directed them all from inside the tracking vehicle, so I was traveling about 85mph most of the time, so there wasn't really anyone sitting beside me other than the driver. But, you know, yeah the agency is there and VW is there, which is- they're paying for it all and also because the agency created the boards, they want to make sure that you're not going off the rails in executing it. And also they can help, because they- it's a very different thing to cinema.” KnowsWantDifferentHelpingSittingYeahCinemaBoardsAgencyDifferent ThingsDriversVehicleRailTrackingExecuting Author:Paul W.

“The cameras were a little twitchy, and you'd get less footage and less set-ups every day. The interesting thing about it was that you just composed images in a completely different way because we had big 3D monitors on set, and you'd wear the glasses and see the image in 3D.” WayLittlesDifferentBigsInterestingCamerasGlassesDifferent WaysInteresting Things Author:Paul W.

“It's a very different experience shooting in 3-D because the camera rigs are so large. Everything we've become accustomed to in the last ten years as filmmakers, which is cameras getting smaller and smaller and you can just throw them on your shoulder and stick them in a car and do whatever you want, you can't do any of that now. You're forced to put things on dollies and track and cranes.” WantYearsDifferentLastsCarTenCamerasSticksTrackShouldersShootingFilmmakerAccustomedDo Whatever You WantDifferent ExperiencesCranesRigs Author:Paul W.

“I had the opportunity to work with Aliens and Predators when Resident Evil 2 was being made and it was for two different studios. It was for Fox and Sony. They don't care about one another. They just want their movies. So it was very difficult to delay one and... So I had to make a very painful decision to kind of step away from directing the second movie and with the third movie it was the same.” WantKindMadeTwoDifferentCareEvilOpportunityDifficultDecisionStepsThirdsPainfulStudiosDon't CareAliensFoxesDelayPredatorResidentsSonyResident Evil Author:Paul W.
