• Production Approach:

  • Spends "20-30 times longer thinking of ideas than other people"
  • Films "10 times more than other people"
  • Invests "100 times more per video than other people"

• Creative Process:

  • Always learning and seeking inspiration
  • Takes in information from various sources
