Sitting behind my... What an incredible editor you had.
My incredible editor, Dylan Titchener, yeah.
Cut Boogie Nights and There Will Be Blood and Zero Dark Thirty, amazing.
Well, and I just want to say, actually, because we were talking about the acting, and obviously I've been an actor, but what I haven't been is a cinematographer.
And, you know, I learned a lot about aspect ratio and lensing on The Lost Daughter, but the truth is, and now I'm understanding who Tracy is, you know, on a little movie, you have...
And so you can't afford even to rent a lot of different lenses.
So in The Lost Daughter, we maybe had five lenses, maybe.
And so with those five lenses, I learned a lot.
Then I go, as Jason and Zee were saying, to this totally different scope.
And I have cranes, techno cranes, shooting for IMAX, which is a very particular thing, which is not just a movie that will play in IMAX, but a movie that's designed to change aspect ratio, like to grow vertically for an IMAX audience.
I didn't even know really what IMAX was when I started.
And Larry Sher, who's my cinematographer,
I felt like I came in to this movie with a really clear, you know, idea of what I wanted to say.
And in a lot of ways also how I wanted to say it, even visually.
I felt like I took a master class with him.
And I do feel like I finished the movie speaking a language that I didn't speak when I started the movie.
Which is maybe part of what was terrifying.
