To Create Is Not To Deform Or

Master Precision. Be A Precision Instrument Myself.

For Me, Film-making Is Combining Images And Sounds Of Real Things In An Order That Makes Them Effective. What I Disapprove Of Is Photographing Things That Are Not Real. Sets And Actors Are Not Real.

Practice The Precept: Find Without Seeking

Cinematography, A Military Art. Prepare A Film Like A Battle.

A Film Is Born In My Head And I Kill It On Paper. It Is Brought Back To Life By The Actors And Then Killed In The Camera. It Is Then Resurrected Into A Third And Final Life In The Editing Room Where The Dismembered Pieces Are Assembled Into Their Finished Form.
