Robert Rodriguez

Because if you're like, well, I want to shoot my movie, but I need a cameraman and I need somebody who knows how to light it. Your I need list keeps growing. That's further and further and further you will be from what you need to accomplish. So I kind of went down there without any help. So that remember that script analogy where the guy said, throw away three scripts.

So that remember that script analogy where the guy said, throw away three scripts.

I said, no, I'm going to write three scripts and then shoot each one. So I get better at each one of those jobs so I can learn to be technical. My technical capability was so little. Like I'm literally calling the guy on the phone. How do I use this camera? You know, that's how little I knew about it, but I knew by doing the job I would learn. By being both, that's really the key.

So Jim Cameron is like that. Jim Cameron, when you think of those guys, George Lucas, very technical and very creative. John Lasseter, very technical, but very creative. Pixar. Jim Cameron, very technical, very creative. Putting those two things together is really what sets you apart from other technicians and other creative people. And it's very, very powerful.

A lot of creative people, again, it's against their nature to be technical. They don't want to do it. Make yourself do it. Read the manuals, take the lessons. It frees you up because then you can go do like, you know, I just showed you in that demo. You're able to now be a technical person and creative, and then you're unstoppable. He's one of the best at it.

And he just knows how to craft a story. He's very analytical as well. Like we bounce off each other in a funny way. He goes, man, he came down to visit my studio before we did Alita. And he went, you only surround yourself with people who are like you. Like you exude creativity, you know, from every pore. And so does everyone at your studio. And I go, yeah, I didn't hire them that way on purpose.

But I think if you're not that way, you kind of don't belong there and you kind of leave. And then I went to his studio. And there are a bunch of Jim Camerons there. They're like, Oh my God, they're all very technical. You can't get all kind of fuzzy with the logic or the, you can't get, you can't get really creative with a physics or anything. They're like, no, that's not how it would work.

It would be like, and they're just, wow. Super great at what they do. Bar is sky high. And they're all like that. Cause yeah, if you're not part of it, if you're not like that, you can't hang with those guys. You can't hang with him very long.
