"Wes was very prepared. He always came up with a shot list and was very meticulous. Wes, in his own life, loved to write manuals for everything in his house. So he was very mechanical in this way, and he made really great shot lists. I mean, when you're working fifty, sixty days straight, you don't always have time, and of course, if the director comes in without a shot list, the AD, the cinematographer, the line producer, and everybody else freaks out. But he usually came prepared with his shot list, and of course, we'd look at it and freak out if it was more than about twenty-three shots. It could, at times, be a little too ambitious."

What was Wes's directing style like? Was he quite prepared with a plan as far as exactly what shots he wanted? How did he give direction and feedback to the cast?
