Don't forget, I've been fired by studios; I'm not the studio's guy. I'm a guy who can work with studios, but if you ask any studio, I stand up to these people.
Studios were just run differently. There really was a head of a studio. There were people who loved their studios. Who worked for their studios and were loaned out to other people and everybody sort of got a piece. Well now there's a handful now.
My dream as a teenager was to run a movie studio, as in the old studio system.
I had this vision of shooting a great white in the studio with all the edge lights I use for movie posters. I knew that I couldn't bring the great white to the studio, so I had to bring the studio to the great white.
The studio is really fun because I don't make it into the studio unless I've got something I really like. I love working with different musicians in the studio; that's a real joy, working with someone for the first time.
So for my studio purposes, I know that I'm in my studio with technicians who've done amazing things to my board and to my power amps and I know what I can deliver out of my studio.
I don't believe that an animation studio should be an executive-driven studio.
When you do a movie in the studio system, there's a committee. A committee of six or seven people you answer to. There's two or three producers, a studio executive and one or two people above that studio executive.
I moved my studio to Palm Springs 'cause I don't like the idea of going to a studio every day like a job... I need to make a personal record, so I need to be in a house... I don't want to be in a studio where people can hear the music 'cause I don't ...
I'm trying to work in studio movies, but they won't hire me.
It is always weird to be in the studio working on Christmas music in June and July, so we decorated the entire studio, we really did. We brought out lights, fake trees and decorated the place to get in the Christmas spirit. You'd leave the studio, an...
Writing studio movies is the best job in the world... it's awesome.
I like studio movies; I love big commercial movies.
They're mostly done before we went into the studio, although I do like writing in the studio.
I don't use any real vintage hardware any longer. That's always been the object as far as gaining control of the studio environment, going back to when I built my first studio, Secret Sound, in New York City. The whole point was to not have to pay st...
I started a recording studio. I started producing people and doing remixes.
Every Vacation movie didn't just make the studio money. They each made the studio a lot of money.
I went to underground music studios. In the studios, I learned that you can make a movie without a permit.
The studio is not the place to write. You need to be 75% ready when you go into the studio, and then the music can develop to the next stage.
I haven't done a lot of studio movies, but studio movies and independent films are always just as fun as each other.
I'm first and foremost a company man, surprising as that is. I love Warner Brothers. That's where I have a deal. That's where I've been for years. So I don't really interact too much with other studios and do things with other studios and I don't nec...
