Thirteen years later, I go into a film and people will probably say it's a music video style. But it's really not, that's my style. It's an application of what I felt filmmaking should be, but I've only applied it in music videos. Everyone's been copying it and making it the de facto music video style.
What was the greatest experience of your first feature film?
This is going to sound really naive if I read this 10 years from now, but right now, the coolest thing about working on a movie is being in the soundstage. They have this big movie theater where the movie projects in front of you, and you sit on a couch and just start mixing sounds together. It's like what you've always dreamed, when you sit in a movie theater and you say, "I wish they would change this." Well, I'm actually doing that. I'm actually sitting in a movie theater changing sounds. It's one of the greatest experiences I've ever had, and I know it sounds really stupid, and 10 years from now I'll be jaded and I won't think it's cool. |

But right now, it really is a direct sort of lift of my fantasies
Do you plan to return to music videos?
A filmmaker today doesn't have to say he's gonna just make movies or just make music videos or just make commercials. If you're lucky enough, you can do any of these things. I might even do some television, I don't know. It's just whatever motivates me. I have a few music video ideas that I think are really cool, so I'm doing those. I'm doing a lot of commercials right now. It just depends on what motivates me, and the only thing that motivates me is whether I feel like I have a good idea for it. I'm not taking on a movie until I've got a good idea.
Now that you have an impressive resume and a feature film, are you any less pathetic?
No, you always feel pathetic. |
