8 - The Director

When i arrived on the project, i was not immediatly asked to be the director. I was at first an artistic director working mainly on the visual aspect of the film. On day, Mister Didier came to me and asked :

Of course this reaction looks a little bit exagerated but at the time i was not experienced enough to take over such a big project. I knew being the director was a job with a lot of responsabilities. Let's show you a sea metaphore so you can understand :

Let's imagine that i am a young sailor full of enthousiasm

who just left the marine school

At school i learne how to maneuver small boat. I was

not bas at it because it is not complicated and you can control it easily

The Governor Mister Didier the 1^st is impressed by my talent

on the small boat and suddenly asks me to be the captain of his galion

and give me a crew of 60 sailors

Suddenly it's not the same... A big ship is more complicated to maneuver

and you can't control it on your own

But mainly, you have to give orders to your team but as you don't know

your rôle very well yet, it's not really easy...

Of course i'm exagerating but this is the main idea. Each of the orders i'll say will have consequences, good or bad consequences. And if you try to work on your own, you won't go far

As I knew it was going to be difficult I asked for a co director. This is how Vincent Patar and Stéphane Aubier joined the team so our inexperience would be complete
