- The thing it took me years to learn during film classes in high school and college is that the actors and script are really 90 percent of your final product. Granted, I always get the most talented DP, editor, and musician I can find, but once your cast and script are locked, so much of what the film can and will be is already determined. Then it's all about using film technique to bring the best out of what's there.
