You never realize how much more time you can devote to the image when you are ONLY DPing, until you get to DP on one movie and have DP, Direct and produce another. It's the difference sometimes between looking good and looking great. (Time that is)
And the catch 22 can be a pain. I always have to give my actors credits (well, lately, in my first feature only some of them deserved credit) for bringing the scripts to life. I really do more blocking, angle selection and pacing than directing of the actors. Mostly I let them run unless they are way off the mark.
