I think that 'Halo' is a hard property because they don't need to make a film. They make far more money out of the games so why risk?
Most people think of cinematographers as choosing subjects of an epic nature to show off what they do - big, sweeping images of war or pageantry.
It's part of my nature. I get excited when trying out new stuff, whether it be an idea or equipment. It stimulates my juices.
I've made four films about the destructive nature of relationships, of secrets and lies, and I think I'm no longer interested in that subject - which is a wonderful relief.
When a dragonfly flutters by, you may not realize, but it's the greatest flier in nature. It can hover, fly backwards, even upside down.

It's always so hard when people assume someone cheated or broke up a marriage, when the truth may actually be much more complicated.
When I'm weak, you can be strong; when I'm strong, you can be weak. That's what I believe marriage is.
