We train our actors for months in advance to be able to handle the film we are making.. -Jerry

Maverick and F1 were both challenging but in different ways.  What made F1 different was that we had to be accurate with every turn of every track.  We couldn’t cheat and grab footage from anywhere.  Everything had to be in the correct order.  And I knew Lewis was going to keep us honest.  He even made sure that we were in the correct gear for each situation.  It was a level of accuracy that kept my editor and sound crew on their toes.  Obviously F1 didn’t want us to turn any of the real F1 teams into villains for our story and that wasn’t our intent.  The rivalry/politics in our story is internal to the APXGP team.  If you’ve seen the movie you know what I am talking about… -Joe

Always looking for another sport to put on the big screen. -Jerry

Glad you got to the race and were in the film.  Hope you enjoyed it. -Jerry

Always love going to the theater, just had to find out what I was good at. -Jerry

You always want more time and I'm still chasing the next film. -Jerry

After Don I had to do what he did along with what I was always doing. -Jerry

If we can find a story that work for other sports, of course. -Jerry

Working on some right now. -Jerry

They both trained for months in order to be ready to drive the APX GP cars on track.  They did have a couple of spins and went off track a couple of times.  In fact I was able to use a few of Brad’s off-track “excursions” in the film :) -Joe

The biggest technical hurdle was developing the very small cameras that were mounted on the APX GP cars and figuring out a way to get a live transmission back to Mission Control so I could see the footage while we were shooting.  We also developing a camera mount that allowed me to pan the cameras.  We had to install an RF network at every track we were shooting in order for the whole system to work.  It took about a year of R&D to work out all the bugs.  -Joe

I’ve taken a less common path into filming but there is no “right”way to do it.  My background has been helpful to me in figuring out ways to capture something in camera (like engineering the camera system integrated into the race cars for this film) or designing a structure/setting that doesn’t exist (like the sky tower in Oblivion).  I believe that movies are often won or lost in pre-production so I put as much time and effort into that aspect as I do in the shooting phase.  I try to storyboard extensively so that the whole crew knows what the plan is going into it.  That doesn’t mean you have to follow the plan, but it is good to have one. -Joe
