“I believe no matter what the movie is done in prep, and then you make the magic when you shoot it,” he says. “So during prep, working with the DP, the production designer, the costume designer, believe me they get my two cents on locations and how it should look and all those things, and we together prepare that. So when it comes to shooting, I don’t get into that. I’m all about the performance [and] making sure the shots are working. I vet the whole movie in my head, and write out shot-for-shot everything before we start shooting. Then you can actually be more creative. You don’t have to stick to it exactly, but you have a really the framework.”
