Quotes	"There is only perfection, and varying degrees of failure." -Me "Oh squiggly line in my eye fluid, I see you there lurking on the periphery of my vision. But when I try to look at you, you scurry away. Are you shy squiggly line? Why only when I ignore you do you return to the center of my eye? Oh squiggly line, it's alright... you are forgiven." -Stuart Gilligan Griffin

Dramatic, Comedic, highly visual. A good director knows as much about lighting and compostition as the DP, and as much about pacing as the editor.

Secondary

I like my lighting natural, not heavy on the fill. The camera needs movement, but with a purpose.
