HitFix made an interview with New Moon director Chris Weitz while visiting the set past May.
Q: ‘Twilight’ is very emotional at its core, but it also has a lot of CG elements. Would you say you are in a comfort zone? Is this familiar ground?
Right, I’m never really in a comfort zone making a movie which is a discomfort zone, because you’re always working under pressured circumstances, because you don’t have an unlimited amount of time or money to do these things. There were a number of things I was familiar with — familiar enough so that I could do what I think is really important which is not to foreground the special effects for the action elements, but to make those kind of settle into the story. You never really want someone to watch a movie and go, ‘Wow, those were great special effects.’ You hope they won’t notice the majority of what you are doing. Obviously, people are going to notice horse-sized wolves and realize on some level they are special effects, but they are photorealistic and they should be as expressive as a good actor if possible. So, in terms of kind of wrangling that sort of process it is something I am used to.
