In his interview with John Joseph Adams, he stated: "I have always come at this from the perspective of filmmaking and developed the techniques used in this film out of necessity and never really sought to interest other computer aficionados".

The intention was to tell that particular story with those particular visuals that we used.... and if history says it’s something else....".
