More than just movies...

Ty's philosophy on making movies? If a picture is worth 1000 words, how many words should 24 - 30 (depending on format) pictures per second be? Every shot should be planned and recorded with all the forethought and preparation as a photograph. Any director that takes shortcuts on set with the philosophy of "fix it in post" is just lazy. Sure, you can fix a lot in post, but that should never be your goal, it should only be done when you miss something by accident. Garbage in... garbage out.
