Working on any project, I break it into a period of intense pre-production followed by the actual production.

The pre-production phase allows me to do everything I can to previsualize, prepare and work out the technical issues. This frees me up to be more instinctive and reactive during the creative process.

It's about absorbing as much as possible to prepare and then let it all go during the shoot.
