Every single thing you see on-screen came out of somebody’s creativity. It doesn’t exist. Nature didn’t deliver it to us. Everything had to be dreamed.
Meaning of the quote
Everything you see in movies, TV shows, and video games was created by someone's imagination. It didn't just appear naturally in the world. The director, writers, and artists had to come up with the ideas and bring them to life on the screen. They had to dream up and design every character, setting, and story. So the images and stories you enjoy are the result of someone's creativity and hard work, not just something that happened in nature.
