It was always my early plan to go to L.A. eventually, because that seemed to be the only way to do it. But there's more and more happening up here now, and we're getting more and more of a toehold. Down there, I'd be a small fish in a huge pond. Here, I have a nice edge. And I have a great crew working for me.
Visual effects are a tool for storytelling.
By themselves, they aren't what makes something good. Hollywood's big flaw these days is that film-makers rely too much on effects to tell their stories, and somehow the story gets left behind. It's that attention to storytelling that I love about X-Files. and Millennium. I love the way our stuff is being used. I love what they did with it last season.
