I'd be really interested in making a dramatic, low key 3D film.

Our core market has been historically gamers and digital content creators such as car designers and movie makers.

I think animation can tell more than live action.

'Phantom Menace' was a huge project. It was the biggest visual effects production ever done at that point, and it was a little scary how big it was and how many unknown technologies had to be developed to do that work.

You've seen how they make movies like Star Wars and stuff. They're never really there. They're in front of a green screen just pretending to be jumping around.

When you are shooting traditional motion capture, it's a big footprint on set. There are, like, 16 cameras that are needed and constraints over the lighting.

I've always loved animation it's the reason why I do what I do for a living - the films of Walt Disney. This art form is so spectacular and beautiful. And I never quite understood the feeling amongst animation studios that audiences today only wanted to see computer animation. It's never about the medium that a film is made in, it's about the story. It's about how good the movie is.

I love 3D a lot, I have a great interest in 3D, so if I am given the tools to do a project with 3D, it's a dream for me.

Animation has completely changed, and I've always been a big fan.

So, you might do something that's genius - very rarely, admittedly - but it doesn't miss it.

I'm a big 3-D convert.

3D is quite a lot more advanced in animated movies; for live-action movies we're just taking baby steps, we're just in the beginning. So when I think of doing that I was very excited. It didn't go as far as I think it should, I'm still a novice, but I think it's fair to say it's a new cinematic medium, experience.

The great thing about computer animation is that all of those environments exist as three-dimensional worlds, so these VR worlds already exist.

The Pixar movies are amazing in what they do, but there's plenty of independent animators who are doing really amazing things as well.
