He also directly addresses the audience and stuff, so I'm not sure it's so much about being less and then more professional as just undecided about how much he should be a character in his own film. Some of the blu-ray extras definitely have a self-indulgent feel to them that go along with this...<br /><br />I didn't think anything sounded so bad to think they used on-board mics?

They were using on-board mics, they were framed poorly, and the interviewer is just sitting there in the frame.
