A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

Complexity is one of the great problems in environmental design.

I design my shots. I walk the rehearsal as the camera and say 'this is where I want to be... I want this look.

The reward is that you can actually create a world separate from reality with a story, actors, music, and camera design. When it works it can entertain, move people and teach us all.
