For me, I always go back to when I was 10 years old and, I think between the time I was 10 and going to high school, were some of the greatest moments for me, because I had a group of friends that I was inseparable with, who we would make movies with all the time.

I feel like I have a group of friends, guys could be interchanged with my neighbors from back home. These guys are really close and really tight, and it all stems from 'Wouldn't it be cool if this happened.'

When I was nine, I asked my Dad, â€˜Can I have your movie camera? That old, wind-up 8-millimeter movie camera thatâ€™s in your drawer?â€™ And he goes, â€˜Sure, take it.â€™ And I took it, and I started making movies with it, and I started being as creative as I could, and never once in my life did my parents ever say, â€™ What youâ€™re doing is a waste of time.â€™ Neverâ€¦.. I know there are kids out there that donâ€™t have that support system. So, if youâ€™re out there and youâ€™re listening, listen to me: If you wanna be creative, get out there and do it. Itâ€™s not a waste of time.

I feel like I leave every single project feeling like I didn't quite do as good as I wanted to do on it, and I have to just look forward to the next one to try and do better. Because you never quite hit the heights you have in your head for what you're going to do. But you learn something each time, which is important.

Brad Bird is fond of saying that music is the easiest thing that can derail a film because if it slightly goes a degree off track it will take the viewer in the wrong emotional direction. To work with people who actually care about that is a good thing.
-- Michael Giacchino

#Emotional #People #Track
More often than not, I'm worried about, where shouldn't we have music? Because the tendency is just to put everything everywhere all the time in a lot of movies. You end up just numbing the audience when you do that and it's not the best way to tell a story.
-- Michael Giacchino

I think great filmmakers will always talk in terms of storytelling. These guys were always about the story. That is how I love to talk about a film.

When you present something that you have worked on to somebody else, for some reason that is the moment when you can see everything that you have done wrong. They may or may not agree, but it is more of a personal thing for me. It is that I am looking at it because you are self conscious and suddenly there is someone in the room that is seeing it for the first time.
-- Michael Giacchino
