It's hard to make a good movie in four weeks. It's hard. I've done it, but it's not easy.
In television you don't have a lot of time to spend with the role or the script. Typically you get a script a week prior to shooting. Sometimes it's even less time, not enough time to dream about the role.
When I finally decided to do the show, I only had two weeks to learn the choreography and the songs in French.
You only have a week to do a show. I mean, there's only so deep you can dig in that week.
Those are fun, especially if they're going to shoot them in four weeks, because you know they're not going to mess with anything you do, so it can be very imaginative.
I wanted to have a creative director crazy enough to say, 'Sure, I'll do a collection in five days.'
Most films don't have a budget for a background score, but it is the toughest job to do. We work like donkeys. And usually we get only around a month to do a score.
You have twenty-one days to shoot a whole movie and sometimes you go into that thinking 'ugh, this could potentially be really, really difficult' and it turns out to be the most incredible experience.
