Just thought I'd fire a bullet into the air with this. Some of us are a Jack of all trades in this craft, but often there's one part we love more than others or simply do better at.
For me it's definitely props and set design (yes, I know, hardly the dream of most), followed by screen writing. Direction I do love but it just seems like a way of fulfilling the other roles the way I want them. When it comes to the set and props, I find myself in my element. I simply love creating the scene I picture to make the story come to life.
My fiancee's (or wife in.... blimey, 19 days now!) is definitely visual effects and make up, although truth be told, she's a better writer than I am! Do NOT tell her this! I seriously don't know how her brain develops so many ideas which I could never think of, especially in our abstract/metaphorical works.
If you could "specialise" tomorrow and focus on one role in film making, which you love over all the others, what would it be?
Forgot to ask: who do you admire or their work in those roles? I would have to say Earl Betts and Chris Casey for their attention to detail and the way they design to the atmosphere. there's something about the "busy-ness" of it all which I think takes a true artist to envisage.
