There are moments in every production when I freak out a little bit. It usually has to do with destruction. Tearing down a set, making radical changes to a puppet, these would qualify, but this week I’ve been agonizing over my shot selections. Camera placement, how long you hold a shot, the order you edit those shots together etc … all these choices make a huge difference in how an audience reacts to a scene. I know, obvious stuff but as I work through the shots that will appear at the end of the film these choices become even more crucial because I only have one chance to get it right and … well … this has to be the best ending ever.
