Ooh nice! Thanks.

Honestly the interview is more about the camera used (a Bolex) more than anything else - very little about the thought process, etc. Reads more like an ad/endorsement of the Bolex vintage film camera than anything else.

I also didn't think that the interview was very insightful. I'm surprised that Warp so proudly displayed that on the homepage.

I am not suprised, it is a tenuous link to BOC and regardless will generate traffic to their site.

LOL, I know - BOC should sample this tool saying that and use it in a song

"Using the “disadvantages” of this camera turned out some amazing and creative advantages to both of these projects in the end."

He needs to be more specific. Some people see their weaknesses as a strength. I hate to tell ya, but that's another weakness.

I am a bit disappointed he didn't say how he got the wonderful ariel shots and exactly where it was all filmed though.

I'm pretty sure the sky shots were computer generated
