So it gives the cohesive flow over the course of a movie.
Completely.
Dennis Mirren, who is a visual effects supervisor who worked on the original Star Wars, he said, on Star Wars Episode IV, that was our first big movie, right?
They'd done all the shots.
They could only see the mistakes that were left in the shots, all the things they wanted to make better.
And then he went to the premiere down in Los Angeles in Hollywood.
And he watched the movie with the audience and all he was seeing was those mistakes, but he could see everybody else was seeing the storytelling.
And that's what he said, that's when he became a filmmaker instead of a shot maker, right?
Someone who could see the whole story instead of just all the different details, which I think is kind of beautiful.
Absolutely.
Perfection isn't necessary.
And Dennis would always be teaching us this.
Dennis Murin and Ken Ralston and the teams that worked on those original films that inspired so many of us in our craft, they're really good at saying, oh, that detail over there, it's imperfect, but it doesn't matter.
People aren't looking there.
I'd rather spend the time working on the thing that people are looking at.
So there's lots and lots of great examples of films.
Yeah, exactly.
Perfection is not always better.
It has really been fun.
I love learning a little bit about your world.
