One thing he says that i find interesting is :
- If you start off with a drawn storyboard anyone knows you can rub bits out, this is helpful as he is saying any ideas you don't agree with you can just change them and improve on them. Richard says you can add a few bits so your always building on the idea.
- Richard outlines that when you first introduce an idea to a producer don't over complicate any ideas. Richard also says "simple is good". If you keep things simple it can create more effect instead of spending lots of time on a complicated idea. The most simple can be the most effective as the first Alien film was said to be sold in 3 words "Jaws in space".
- An important step for Richard was to develop the idea as far as you can until you can't think of anything else. Then he says once you have done this then further improve the idea with Technology.
