On Continuity and Backstory:
"Trust only what you've seen on air. The narrative is fluid, It changes, I could lose a great story idea if I adhere slavishly to a backstory and that I havn't even mentioned on the show."

On the Writing:
"This is the first show I've done in 21 years in the biz where I wait anxiously for each script because I love to read them. Joss's touch is genius and I love his work. I'm a fan, what can I say?"

On the climax in the episode Passion:
"The scene was once longer, but only because I wrote too many words. Very purple prose, very melodramatic. I think (?) that it was Sarah's and Michael's idea to do a take or two where she hit Tony, then hugged him without all the overwritten monolog in between. Never saw the other version but would be willing to bet this was better. With better words, the scene might have been longer, but it worked for me. Sometimes, passion isn't unleashed through words, but human contact. And the move from violence (punch) to the desperation (hug) without words was incredibly powerful. At that moment, Buffy was as scared as I've seen her in while. I think that the lack of control (giving in to the passion of the moment) was incredibly scary for her and, as much as anything, lead to her decleration shortly thereafter that she must never again give in to passion.
Bravo to Sarah, Tony and Michael."

On hiring Jeff Bynum and George Snyder to Mutant Enemy:
"Oh God, who am I kidding? I have no idea what I'm doing. I just hired these guys because they're cute and they weren't mean to me. Really! They're not executives. I'm not even sure they both speak english. The whole company is just a tax dodge, anyway. Oh, God, the hypocrasy!"

On Writing-
"For me, though I desperately crave fame and fortune like the next guy, writing, the act of writing, the rhythm and flow of the english language, the creating of internal universes...
its the greatest peace I'll ever know. Its' its own inspiration. Write and it'll give you more than I could with a writely platitude!"

On Directors:
"They are much more choosey now though since the show has become a hit. Now all the top dogs want to do it. I'm sure the best of the best will be with us again next season and the worst will not. Joss had the least experience and yet was one of the best directors. I just wish I could put talent in a bottle and sell it sometimes. A degree has nothing to do with it really. Some of the worst have come from some of the schools. It is amazing to me."

On Season 2's stunt coordinating:
"I think the only thing that was hard on me was the early ones like School Hard because I couldn't get anything that I wanted on screen. Similar to KBD. I hate it when I can't get anything good up there. It's embarrassing to me when I know from experience what could have been versus what was allowed sometimes. Often it is because we have directors who are very good with drama and have not a clue when it comes to action. Although you wouldn't know it to listen to them. I mean of all the XENA directors we have had, not one of them has really shot the really good action of XENA. That is done by the stunt unit. People don't know this though."

On starting the new season:
"The set was very interesting this season. We have some new crew members in key positions who were struggling to keep up with the organized chaos that is Buffy, but for the most part we just stepped into the show like we never paused... Yes, Sarah is tired from her film schedule, but working like a real trooper. We finished about 1 am last night and she was with us to the last shot."

On stunts and credit:
"If you only knew how many times I've watched TV and Movies and seen long opening sequences that I've planned and directed that some other guys name and some other DP's name splashed across the screen. It is really weird to be me. I once even saw a director being interviewed about scenes that I shot. He wasn't involved in any way in the planning or the execution of any of it. Yet there he was on TV talking about how "he came up with the concept and why HE did certain shots". Oh yeah. Try being in stunts some day. It's a hoot alright. That's why I identify more with writers and I get such a kick over the fact that Joss actually gets to control his own product. You have no idea how much I love that."

On a Sword Fight:
"I did see BLADE. The funny thing is that when we shot our sword fight they were having a test screening. The audience hated the ending because Wesley never got to fight Frost at the end. So...Clay Barber (the blond Vamp in the finale that Sophia cracked her finger on) left our set and went over there with another unit and reshot the ending. They added that whole swordfight because Clay told them how cool ours was. Only they got tons of money and time and we only have a few short hours. It was cool though."

On Writer's Block:
"Writer's block is death. Two solutions for me:
1) try harder, sometimes I'm just not focussing.
2) give up. If it really ain't coming, don't waste a day waiting for it.
Relax. Take in some sensory input. Read. See a flick. Water the horses. It'll come. DO NOT, however, flip channels on the TV as this is actually draining."

"The sound for season 3 will be pretty much pick-up where 2 left off, darkness and all. Yes more Angel/Buffy love theme, yes more faux romantic swells, and no (sniff) Jenny theme as of yet. She's pretty dead as far as I know."

Chris Beck

On perfectionism:
"I can hit pretty high on the perfectionist meter. For instance, more than other producer/writers I've heard about, I'm very strict about my actors being word-perfect with everything that I write. I write in a specific way, and for somebody to sort of extemporize loosely based on what I've written doesn't get it done for me. The actors know this, so they treat the text with enormous respect."

Joss Whedon
Cinefantastique, march/98

On the Creative Force:
"There is no doubt who the creative force of the show is--it's Jossfrom start to finish. The entire tone of everything is set by him. Once I have a script, I get a very, very clear feeling from him what he expects the direction of the show to be. Sometimes he's very specific, and other times he'll say, 'do what you feel is appropriate,' but make no mistake, he's in charge, and he knows what he's doing."

"I get a week to write each episode. Since I'm a master procrastinator, I usually wait til the last four days. I can write about 6 good minutes a day. 8 or 10 so-so minutes if I have to.

On the Lovers Dream Scene in INNOCENCE:
"That was the most experimental thing I've shot and I'm happy with it. The idea was to show Buffy's heightened awareness of her physicality and the vibrancy of her experience with Angel. So I tried to include both of them and be suggestive, not exploitive. Weird to shoot but I was happy. Beck (chris) did the music; it really heightened it."

And to sing the internationale."

On the death of Jenny Calender:
"The death of Jenny was a crucial part of the overall dramatic arc Joss has planned for the series. Remember the speech Joss wrote in Angel in Lie To Me, in which he recounted the "horrible" things he did to Druscilla when he was obsessd with her? Well, anything less than what he did would have been a cowardly choice on Joss' part. Believe me, no writer ever kills off a character he has created (especially as wonderful a creation as Jenny Calender) for no good reason or mere shock value. Angel is now turning that same passion toward Buffy. And his killing of Jenny will have a different effect on each of the Scooby Gang. Talk about your emotional conflicts now. In my opinion, although I loved Jenny, and related to her and Giles most of all, I think this sacrifice will only pay off in spades in the future. Joss has the particular genius to find ways to cleverly muddy the water whenever it begins to clear- only to have the image that emerges as it clears again show an even more intriguing and unexpected future.
So await the future... it's gonna be cool."

"Much of what I do depends on the needs of my boss and the show. Research for stories. Read Specs. And there is scheduling... etc. Fortunately for me David G. knows how to use the phone so I don't run calls often. Then when he's directing there's more...and I was very serious when I said I make my boss laugh, that's the most important part of the job. I really hate talking about me... if you're interested in the field rent Swimming with Sharks. Just kiddin'."

On shooting fight scenes:
"It is by far easier for me to do good work if I am also directing and editing. Other directors usually are great at drama and have little or no experience at the kind of fights I do. We have to shoot the fights in long master takes and try to make everything work for them so they can see it. I prefer to shoot the Hong Kong method. It involves shooting up to a point and going in for a special set-up that relates only to a piece that will edited into the sequence later. You have to be a stunt coordinator, and to do this, to know how to do it and exactly which frames to cut on. It is very different from what you learn at filmschool."

On Buffy and Angel:
"True love? That is the trickiest and most amorphous term in the world and I could not BEGIN to define it. It's like religion...it's responsible for the greatest and the worst things we do.

On inspiration for the musical themes:
"In TV there's generally not enough time to do the kind of research that Michael Nyman (The Piano) talks about, so I generally have to wing it. Frankly, the themes as I come up with them are not always as strong as I would like. But a truly great melody has to stew for a while in my brain- it needs days of TLC before I can truly be proud of it. But sometimes they come out great the first time. The dead Jenny theme (my favorite) was directly inspired by the fact that I knew Tony was going to be singing it. When I got the word that he was interested in singing I started playing with ideas, and it just sort of came out. Very little stewing required."

When I start to feel insecure about my POSTINGS, I know it's time to take a break from writing. Alas, there is none in sight, so let me take this moment to bitch and moan about how hard this is-- or better yet, to sing the praises of a man named Greenwalt. We were up late up late friday breaking story together. The man is a font of good humor, great story ideas, and positive energy. Plus; mean as a snake, so he's never dull to be around.

On how scoring is done for TV:
"-meet with producers, decide where music should go & what it should do ("spotting").
-write the score (this is done at the computer, using samplers and synths to play back the music as it's being written).
-record one or two live players (in my case it's usually a woodwind and maybe another instrument).
-mix all sampled and synth tracks with live players.
-go visit with Joss and watch all the scenes with music, get notes, make revisions, deliver and start the next episode.
This all takes about six days. I spend four days writing, one day recording and mixing, and one final day revising."

On working on PASSION with Joss Whedon:
"I think it is cool the way there are so many variables that make keeping ahead of Joss impossible. Was Angel's soul already in that globe? It glowed. If so, then what did smashing it do?

He was really happy about the stunts, but a little worried when one time Lee almost didn't get back up."

On the movie Buffy The Vampire Slayer:
"I can speak on the record about Fran Rubel Kuzui and the Buffy movie. I read Joss' original draft of Buffy, the one she bought (and before she got her mitts on it), and to suggest that there was no martial arts or humor is laughable. The script she bought was brilliant, funny, action filled. She is like a maniac who takes a sledgehammer to a Da Vinci sculpture, smashes it to bits, then says "look at all the nice little marble pebbles I just made! Before I got my hands on it, it was just one big hunk of stone" (I overstate by comparing Joss' script to Da Vinci, but you get the idea). I loved that draft of the script much more than the movie that eventually "de-evolved"."

On Composing the score:
"I have a roomful of samplers that I use to simulate the orchestra and I usually work out ideas on the instruments they will be played on. Sometimes for a huge action scene I'll bang something out on a piano sound, then turn off the video machine and just work with the morchestration until it's done and then go back to the picture. Well that wasn't a very clear answer was it. The answer is, almost 100% of the time I compose with specific instruments in mind, and I'm hearing them as I write."

"Sometimes what is presented is what characters think as opposed to reality. In SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED, the original line from Giles in the shooting script (which I have seen quoted here) was that "Here's what I've come up with; Demons who eat the flesh of the dead [in a misguided attempt] to absorb their souls". The part in brackets was apparently excised before actual shooting.
I have always been intrigued as to Joss' reasoning, as I had wanted to keep the question of whether the soul resided in the corpse open."

"I love Jerry Goldsmith's work. He and Danny Elfman are probably the composers I try to emulate the most when working on Buffy.

On the snow in Amends:
"The snow was not evil! The snow was good. It was hope.
Now another issue; was the snow a cheap Deus Ex Machina? Well, obviously I don't think so or I would avoid the question. The DEM term is usually used to indicate a cheap easy twist that wraps things up. Some people may have thought it was corny (can't really argue), but I didn't just pull it out of a hat. The whole ep was leading to that, it was the point, not just a way to end it. Third thing- Was it God? Well, I'm an atheist, but its hard to ignore the idea of a "Christmas Miracle" here (though the PRAY on the marquee was an unintentional coincidence). The fact is, the Christian mythos has a powerful fascination to me, and it bleeds into my storytelling. Redemption, Hope, Purpose, Santa, these all are important to me, whether I believe in an afterlife or some universal structure or not. I certainly don't mind a strictly christian interpretation being placed on this ep by those who believe that- I just hope it's not limited to that.
My fourth point, and I really think this gets to the heart of the issue:
I'm kind of dull."

"The body falling from overhead was Mike Massa; David's stunt double. The real David was there also, naturally. Both bodies did indeed have the tattoo [a device copied from the book of Kells and is a cat face and paws with a wing off to the side surrounding a letter 'A'], however I had to hose David down with ice-water to get that shiver-chatter thing going (his idea). So it is possible that between the water fading the tattoo inks I use, and the shine off the wet skin, and the smoke diffusion in the room, the tat may not be clearly visible. "
