Shark boy and Lava girl:Blogs

6-The director-

Hi my name is Robert Rodriguez, I am the director of the movie, 'Shark boy and Lava girl'. I have a very creative job, I organise the crew, the props we'll be using, the scenery and the most important job to turn the vison of this movie into reality.

Just recently the movie aired, it was a hit, kids of all ages wanted to see it, that was important but we also have to think about the results of the many critics that may critque our movie, over all we were happy with our rating which we received, it was overall most popular kids movie for 3 whole weeks! We were over the moon! But behind this was the ups and downs of the creation of the movie.

The things I like about my job were that:
-I got to put forward ideas to everyone.
-Help people out.
-Oversee what people did
-And most of all be named the director of the movie.

The things that I didn't like about my job were:
-Having to be the first on set.
-Having people complain to me during the process
-Arguing with the crew on what we should do when there is a disagreement.

The favourite parts of the movie for me was the time when they were at the ice kingdom and trying to get the Crystal Heart, it was adrenalin pumping and was greatly animated and full of 3D action thanks to the crews at the Special effects department, and the Editing department.

The reasons why I think the kids enjoyed this would be because of many factors, including: 3D effects, vibrant colour, encorporation what kids like (e.g. sweets) and a whole lot of adventure, when all of these are combined and fused together you get a kids box office hit!

Some behind the scenes drama included the rumour going around that Taylor Dooley (Lava girl) and Taylor Lautner (Shark boy) had crushes on each other! they were all shocked to here this but the rest of the crew just played along.


During the course of filming, we had minor mishaps along the way concerning only a select few of departments, these mishaps were because we weren't able to fund enough money for the movie to run, but eventually we did, because one of our Producers were able to get more money to fund for it.

The movie was a great success for our crew and for everyone else who helped out, from everyone in crew, the behind the scenes team, the actors, producers everyone for making this movie a huge success!
