when people talk about "hollywood" - this is what it actually means. world class craftspeople who bring decades worth of experience and talent to a singular set of images, sets, performances, and stories. most people never get to work with people at this caliber.

filmmaking is so cool.

@colliderfrosty @Collider @Comic_Con Alright Steven, I accept. Just need to find a way for the other directors to see STAGES first I guess (lolololol) (in all seriousness, stoked to see this. loved our chat, love the conversations you're having w/ these directors)

@tonytost one of my fav films, as hard as it is to watch. i spent a year working w/ a group of conflict photographers and have been fascinated ever since by the way their minds work. even as i struggled to understand the pull of that life, left inspired by the remarkable clarity of purpose

RESTREPO (2010). A year in the life of an American platoon dropped into an Afghanistan valley that is a notorious kill zone. A tremendously powerful documentary that refuses any impulse to editorialize or politicize. Complex, unsentimental humanity seeps from every aching frame.

@JosephKahn It’s VR/Immersive language. The camera is the proxy for the HEAD of the audience, not the eyes. Center punching is a way to give the viewer a corrective anchor point so as you look around, know where to return. Close / far is not about focusing the eye on an object, but proximity

Ignoring the frame in the belief that you are immersed past it is the opposite of Ridley, Fincher, Spielberg who believe controlling the eye is the immersion. Different strokes for different folks.
Ankit Jhunjhunwala@fuzzyyarns

Remarkable that Christopher Nolan readily admits that he's not even composing the IMAX frame—or even blocking.He's the anti-Spielberg/anti-Kubrick in that sense—though people compare them all the time. No right way to direct films—but lack of interest in mise-en-scène is unusual.

@thisistechtoday Bay was an evolution of Tony. Tony was 10 features in before Michael Bay directed his first... Not that he didn't have, and develop, his own distinct vision/style...

@PetePasadena No doubt once they both were directing features at the same time, they influenced each other in real time, but Tony Scott was nearly 10 features in before Michael Bay directed Bad Boys. In this instance, I'd say Bay is an evolution of Tony (though, he clearly had his own voice)

@beagewill oh totally. i actually pulled two other moments from the helicopter to try the distortions / "hand cranked" vibe, but, I was procrastinating by even doing this and realized how deep that rabbit hole was going to go and bailed :) :)

@faisal_parla tony had his assistant run to his cabin down below deck and bring up his checkbook. legend is that he cut a $250000 check to the US NAVY to keep on trajectory for the sun orb for 20 more minutes... lolololol

@faisal_parla he was a cowboy for sure. apparently to get one of the silhouette shots of the jet taking off into the sun orb on Top Gun, it required the carrier to continue on a trajectory that was deviating from their path and would have cost a ton of money to correct for later...so...

@cheemaprod exactly! seeing them on the spire made me think of the rooftop scene in Spy Game, but the vibe was def this scene from Man on Fire :)

@wetworkarchive Lots of directors / dps, though, eventually evolved beyond that world (whether ideologically or technically) and ended up in commercials in a moment in which the doc style storytelling was king. what was once selling a pastor's take on jesus was now selling...nike shoes.

@wetworkarchive those megachurches had the budget/resource for a near constant churn of work - doc style testimonials, bumpers (ads), "music videos", in-sermon content / narrative, etc. So video teams would make more in a year than most directors make in their career in ads.
