During a discussion with the Directors Guild of America, Christopher Nolan discussed what it was like taking the leap from directing Insomnia to helming the Batman reboot.“I don’t know if the other people’s experiences mirror my own, but for me, the difference between shooting Following with a group of friends wearing our own clothes and my mum making sandwiches to spending $4 million of somebody else’s money on Memento and having a crew of a hundred people is, to this day the biggest leap I’ve ever made,” He said. “The difference from Insomnia to Batman Begins, I would say is we had very large-scale sets. But for me, the process itself has always been fundamentally the same: You stand there and look at what the scene is going to be and then everything else falls away, or it should if you’re concentrating correctly.”
