He also talks about having Eiichiro Oda's input and his favorite scene to film.
Marc would like to state that he supports both SAG and WGA in their pursuit of reaching a fair and equitable resolution to the respective strikes. In talking about his work - past and present - he does so with unequivocal support for the highly skilled crews that make up the different unions and believes all should be valued and recompensed for the contributions they make in bringing these series and films to life.
MARC JOBST: In all honesty, I didn't really know very much about it. I knew of its existence, of course. The One Piece anime was hugely successful, and I knew about the manga, but it wasn't really until I got the call from the studio to say would I be interested to come and talk about it, and I asked to read the scripts, that I really fell in love with it.
It does. So in directing the first two episodes, can you talk a bit about the pressure of setting all this up, this dimension, this new version? What did that feel like? JOBST: Oh, I want them to experience it all. I'm excited by it all. I really do feel that, genuinely feel that. I don't always feel like that. I think the other thing as a director that I was very keen to get right is when you look at the framing of the manga, when you look at how those drawings are framed, they're very particular.
JOBST: Oh, what a great question. We had four weeks rehearsal, and we brought all the key cast over, and we worked together every day for half the day. We played some games, we humiliated ourselves in front of each other, we ate, we laughed, we goofed about. We did a community project so that they could bond together in the community project and also do some service in the environment in which we were working in South Africa. We didn't really work very much on the scenes in the scripts.
