I heard it was assembly work and I like doing things with my hands as well as fast-paced stuff.

Technical Skills and Mastery

It's like when you want to make a house... the technique is very important.

It's like testing a new airplane or car. Before you go off joyriding with it, you want to make sure everything works.

But it's very technical and you really have to work and work and work to crack it. It's about using your whole face, jaw and tongue in a totally different way. It was very interesting - I love the English language, which made it easier.

I think some people are under the impression that you can simply just shoot it on blue, and then it's all done in post. But no, you really need to understand the pipeline, from beginning to end.
