“The first job I did was Volkswagen, we shot it in Long Beach, and it was like they won multiple awards with it and they were super excited about it and that kind of launched me into the world of commercials. Still most of what I do is car-related stuff.” WorldFirstsKindLongStillsJobsStuffCarShotsExcitedBeachRelatedAwardsMultipleVolkswagensLong Beach Author:Paul W. S. Anderson
“I'm a very collaborative person, so that's not the way I work any way. Once VW got over the idea that I was going to blow their cars up, then we shot the thing really fast and it came out really good. Like I said, it won a bunch of awards and that really was the start of working in commercials.” WayPersonsSaidIdeasCarShotsBlowBunchAwards Author:Paul W. S. Anderson
“3D really altered the way I shot the movie completely, and it was exciting because, after 20 years of filmmaking, I felt like I was making my first movie, all over again.” WayYearsFirstsFeltShotsExcitingFilmmakingAltered Author:Paul W. S. Anderson
“What makes a mockery of a lot of these 3D conversions, where they're shot in 2D and converted to 3D. Having laid a real 3D movie, you realize that it's right in the production design. You design sets that enhance the 3D and you design interactive elements, like the rain or smoke. If you're shooting 2D, you don't know about that.” IfsKnowsRealRealizingDesignElementsShotsRainProductionsConversionSmokeShootingMockeryInteractiveProduction Design Author:Paul W. S. Anderson
“What happened with Final Destination was that the movie was in post-production for a long time and I think they changed a lot of the deaths, so a lot of those things were last-minute additions. Everything we shot is in the movie and it's all been designed. We didn't change anything. It's been a year of making those things happen, exactly as we had pictured them.” ThinkingYearsLongHappensLastsHappenedMinutesChangedLong TimeShotsFinalsProductionsThings HappenPostsDestinationLast MinuteFinal DestinationPost Production Author:Paul W.
