Richard Morrison

Don't over complicate an idea to start with, especially when trying to convince others to get involved in the film. When Ridley Scott created the first movie Alien he sold the film in three words and that was 'Jaws in Space' that tells you that simple is good, these three words were good because Jaws is a very well known film and as well as this space is a popular genre, selling the idea. Draw a story board before you go too far because you can change this, you should always build on the storyboard and not cut it off. Once you are half way through, your producers should then be able to see which needs to be focused on. Richard Morrison is a great believer that once you go past the story board then you should make a model, because it is a physical model. The more physical you are with texture, smell and other senses it fills you in with more information and therefore makes you have more knowledge on your ideas. It doesn't matter how good the model is, it is just you are engaged with the process. Richard doesn't think about the project that has come to him, and therefore does not get distracted, once you have calmed down and thought of some ideas then go back to the project and start planning. Richard says that he shoots the media, waits until the next day and then looks at it. He said that as you get more experienced people will trust your judgement more. Each title sequence is unique, what seems as an easy sequence can be very hard to do, therefore sometimes it is best that you do something more simple than you should focus on it more and make it look better, however you can almost create he impossible. You cannot cheat perspective and you actually have to do it for real. You have to communicate our vision to the other people in the team so that they can get your ideas.
