Main quotes:
Isaiah Saxon on the rejection of the festival that he put on his way as a film director: “I must say that the college thesis film that did not enter a 45 -minute Sandans was, so I think it is an impregnated length, and I still love this movie. But he put me on the road. At that time, I was running a video store in North Beach [San Francisco]And there was Naming managers DVD tablets for Gondry, Jones and Cunningham, this has just opened the door. I was like, oh, I can do that. I can take [the] The music video path and doubled on this ability to draw and sculpt, make dolls, creatures and things, and make a kind of magic tricks on the movie. This is the way I took – because Sundance was such tremors. [Laughs]”
On how to achieve a comprehensive vision of Ochi legend For about 10 million dollars: “We worked with John Nolan Studios in London to create these creatures. They have just done Al -Jawrasi worldAll practical creatures in it. Although they are a small team in a small small store in London, they are at the top of their game. And I believe that the budget of our entire creature was like a million dollars. For a small independent movie, this is still a big part, but look at what they did. So, the huge hats on their genius, men there who designed animation and dolls, the entire team of brides, and our main coach. They were all like this. I started working with them for three years before we were green, so we had a lot of initial models and the development of the creature.
Regarding global construction, it is really related, we have discovered Romania for three years as well. I discovered all these places, then a cinematic photographer, Evan Prosofsky, [it was] Only we find the right places to direct the camera. Next, in post, it is really related to making non -shiny panels and laying accessories and never settled on something that does not seem correct. So, the wonderful shots otherwise, but the sky can be better, let’s draw it. So I think this is the place where everything rises and it looks bigger, due to the non -shiny paintings, and this is one, I would like to say, something to save costs, is in the post, I am free. I don’t cost anything, and I have done 200 non -glossy paintings [myself]. But the amazing work of all these independent artists VFX, who then take the non -glossy paintings, put them in the shots, and put everything. So it is a very independent publication on this, as well. ”
