More From Mike Leigh

I think the other thing that's important is getting to a place, which very, very rarely happens with improvising groups, where somebody can decide not to play for a while. you watch any group of musicians improvising together and they nearly all play nearly all the time. in fact i often say that the biggest difference between classical music and everything else is that classical musicians sometimes shut up because they're told to, because the score tells them to. whereas any music that's sort of based on folk or jazz, everybody plays all the time.
Thinking Play Differences
Making photos is helpful of course to master the craft. to get comfortable with the camera. learn what a camera can do and how to use the camera successfully. doing exercises for example if you try to find out things that the camera can do that the eye cannot do. so that you have a tool that will do what you need to be done. but then once you have mastered the craft the most important thing is to determine why you want to shoot pictures and what you want to shoot pictures of. that's where the thematic issue comes to life.
Eye Exercise Issues
Sometimes you have to kind of keep proving that you're improvising. that's the game, or the goal, of long-form tv improv, is that you have to kind of keep reminding and showing people that you're improvising, because they won't believe you really.
Believe Games Long
Many people are under the delusion that i'm just a special-effects man, but i've worn many different hats in my day. on every film i've been involved in, i worked with the writer and producer. we really formulated those scripts. we tried to make films that were logical but still had the fantasy feel of it. i enjoy aardman animation's films with wallace and gromit, but they're obvious puppet films, whereas we tried to disguise it and make our effects characters in the films rather than obvious puppets.
Character Men People
When we were doing 'freaks and geeks', i didn't quite understand how movies and tv worked, and i would improvise even if the camera wasn't on me. i thought i was helping the other actors by keeping them on their toes, but nobody appreciated it when i would trip them up. so i was improvising a little bit back then, but not in a productive way.
Toes Tvs Cameras
I have received the digital camera as a blessing. it has really changed my life as a filmmaker, because i don't use my camera anymore as a camera. i don't feel it as a camera. i feel it as a friend, as something that doesn't make an impression on people, that doesn't make them feel uncomfortable, and that is completely forgotten in my way of approaching life and people and film.
