For years onVampire Diarieswe all wanted to flex our satirical muscles a little bit.
I really enjoyed that aspect ofLegacies.
Id never shot in New Mexico.
Its very beautiful; theres big wide vistas and mountains.
It feels almost like a western in a weird way.
Those were the two big differentiations between the things that Ive done already.
Because its kind of like one long movie.
I think it depends on the show.
Obviously if youre doing six years of a show thats 22 episodes a year, thats not sustainable.
The same person cant do it.
Its a little more mathematical and logic-based, directing television.
I also think a big part of this is that its a season one show.
Because Im still a fairly new director.
The biggest challenge is making sure youre on time.
I really like the way it ends.
As far as in general as a director, Im not so sure.
Theres a handful of scenes that Im really proud of.
Theres a few on theVampire Diariesthat I thought were probably some of my favorites.
But I cant quite recall at this point.
Its all blended in into one giantsupernaturalCW mix-up in my mind.
