How did Stanley Kubrick develop his filmmaking technique?
My process is one of exhaustive research and iterative refinement. If an idea can be written or thought, it can be filmed, but the filming itself requires an almost obsessive dedication to detail. Years were spent on pre-production, not merely planning shots, but understanding the scientific principles behind space travel for '2001,' or the psychological underpinnings of terror for 'The Shining.' It's about deconstructing a narrative to its essential components, then rebuilding it with absolute precision, ensuring every creative decision, every visual cue, contributes to the intended effect and the exploration of complex themes.
