1/ What are your thoughts on Richard Williams level of perfectionism?
Richard Williams was and probably still is very driven to perfect his craft effectively all the information I could pick up was he had a dream and a world we he wanted to share in the exact way he envisioned it but the complication was this world wasn't structured correctly in a still type medium thus leaving it open to rapid change as Richards mind kept changing and developing as Richard conceived the new ideas which was no good for the development...This is actually something i have just learned how to practice properly myself.
2/ Do you feel it was fair to have his film taken from him ... Why? Under this question there are two perspectives: #1 Warner Bros = The money if you think under the ideals of the business, image e t c Richards was warned at the very beginning if you do not finish it it will belong to us  (WBS) and we will finish it without you or your team Williams didn't deliver so WBS took over and changed it claimed it and killed it.
#2 Richard Williams  As an artist myself and a creator i feel the pain he would have gone through after losing his baby his very own Mona Lisa Smile.


3/ In your opinion, what could have been done differently during the production to ensure the film was completed on time?  Planning Mr Williams Planning,progress reports and stable structure. the amount of changes he has made for the works made things way harder for the team to keep up on the fly. everyone knows he wanted it to be perfect but time was of the essence after WBS was in the picture the person with the most gold makes the rules after all.
