For eight years I did effects for other movies until I got my movie made.

The other thing that I started doing for myself was, I went through my diary of ideas that I keep and made sure that the translation of the comic to the movie was good.

Well I think effects are tools.

I started when I was eight, doing super 8 films.

Hellboy is the first movie where both ends of the spectrum are combined.

I think there are movies that are so gigantic that you need a second unit.
