When you think about making a movie... a feature... you don't think about any of the technical craziness. But I can tell anyone reading this first hand, that the technical behind the scenes stuff with computers and hard drives and computers and programs and computers is at least, AT LEAST 80% of the movie-making process.
I spent about, MAYBE 400 hours on set making this movie.
I have spent, without a doubt, EASILY over 2000 hours building this movie on the computer. Easily. Probably a lot more.
When and how a movie really comes together is something that every single person overlooks, including myself. I've drawn my fair share of pictures. I've recorded my fair share of music. I've written my fair share of papers. The amount of work I've put into all of those things combined may not even compare with this movie. My whole life.
So the next time you watch a movie, think about that. Think about all of the people who worked countless hours tweaking the actors dialogue to make it sound perfect. Think about all of the people who sat there day and night focusing on the actors skin color and making it look perfect in every shot. Think about all of the people who spent months digitally creating all of the little details that make each shot look pretty. And think about everything that went wrong. All of the footage that didn't make the cut. All of the organizing. All of the work. Think about that.
Making a movie isn't easy. It's not. Try it. It's not easy.
...BUT....
It's worth it.
This movie will be worth it. Easily worth it.
