It’s remarkable to me you made Jurassic Park and Schindler’s List in the same year.
I’ll tell you how it felt. I didn’t anticipate how emotionally caught up in the subject matter of the Holocaust I would become when I committed to shooting Schindler’s List. I didn’t anticipate what it would feel like after I returned from the set to spend three hours going over ILM effects shots on Jurassic Park and how angry I was and how I resented having to do that. I would sit there angry and bitter giving notes on how a Tyrannosaurus Rex should run chasing a jeep, when all I could think of was what I had shot that day in Krakow. So instead of celebrating these two genres that were not even close cousins, I just got mad at Jurassic Park every day I had to go back and do any work on it that would take me away from the zone I was in on Schindler’s List. I would be furious at the dinosaurs, just furious that I had to do this.
