It's like listening to director's...

It’s like listening to director’s commentary from Robert Altman and Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Altman doesn’t script anything, just gives really talented actors a scenario, shoots on tons of cameras, and puts together the story in the editing room. Jeunet has storyboarded every single scene in his movies from start to finish and doesn’t deviate a step. He even had to create a digital Paris for Amélie because the real Paris refused to look exactly like he wanted! Neither approach is right—both filmmakers turn out fantastic films—but if you tried to force either to use the other’s method, it would be a disaster.
