{{cquote|I was eight years old and I saw a documentary on the making of ''[[Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid]]''. It had never occurred to me that movies didn't take place in real time. I knew that they were fake, I knew that the people were acting, but it had never occurred to me that it could take [...] four months to make a movie! It showed the entire company with all these rental horses and moving trailers to shoot a scene on top of a train. They would hire somebody who looked like [[Robert Redford]] to jump onto the train. It never occurred to me that there were hours between each of these shots. The actual circus of it was invisible, as it should be, but in seeing that I became obsessed with the idea of "How?" It was the ultimate magic trick. The notion that [[24 fps|24 still photographs]] are shown in such quick succession that movement is imparted from it{{emdash}}wow! And I thought that there would never be anything that would be as interesting as that to do with the rest of my life.<ref name=":8"/>}}
