How do you make a Vulcan cry?

I don�t have a particularly favourite effect. I have sequences that are favourite. I think because I like to do them, I like matte paintings. I think even as a child, when I saw Forbidden Planet and other movies of that type, and � or Roman epics, like Quo Vadis, and I began to sense that there were paintings mixed with actors. I realised that it was a way to create a reality that can only exist on the screen because of mixing actors with that kind of art work. And I think matte paintings have evolved with digital technology, that you can make three dimensional objects and move through them the way a matte painting would have worked before, and because of tracking technology, you don�t have to lock the shot down. And it just gives a scope and a scale, that other types of shots don�t do. And, of course, I really like great ship shots that are really dynamic with interesting explosions.
