Reese Witherspoon

Stephen Harper

A single prop that does not look real to an audience can louse you up. The same is true of the smallest flaw in setting up the motivation in a story line.
Desi Arnaz
Every prop, every shot, every pearl that rolled across the floor was exactly how I wanted it to be.
