You have been awarded 1 Power Point for fixing the embed code for Dead Pool video REM--Low (amazing camera techniques=old art). Thank you for helping maintain VideoSift's reliability.

Yes westy, you noticed the leading production & remedial camera techniques as well?? I dunno man, for me the bhurka is a symbol of asshole Persian males treating their women like pieces of shit, but I suppose that's my twisted view of the cave-dwelling, Trogliditic Muslim religion.

It's fantastic, a sci-fi movie for real sci-fi fans. Rockwell turns in a great performance, and Zowie Bowie has officially announced himself as a Director to be reckoned with. The special effects are done using old-school in camera techniques, like Ridley Scott used in Aliens. Seeing it makes one realize how much CGI sucks.

Gee, What a great camera technique, purposely have them look away from the camera, because that's sooo engaging.

What, do they think the viewers will feel confronted if they look us in the eye?

(yeah, ok, so this is a 1yr old post... I don't care!)

Yeah, you're right.

I have to say, I don't think Michael Bay is as bad as people think he is... he IS bad when he tries to be serious, maybe one day he'll learn how to actually do a serious flick, but he can't at the moment.

When it comes to big, fun, tongue in cheek action, I have to say... I enjoy his stuff. Transformers? Great flick, really doesn't take itself seriously, and is wonderful fun for it. Bad Boys? Hey, I find it entertaining and funny. The Island... actually started out well and started to demonstrate that with time he may be able to do a serious flick... but dissolved into pointless action. Armageddon shits me because it's terrible, but I remember tearing up at it all the while going 'This is blatent emotional triggering. The Rock, despite some terrible lines that are truly cringe worthy (Sean Connery talking about screwing the prom queen or whatever it was) it too was great fun.

He's good at films that are great fun, great escapism, but not deep in any sense of the word.

Boll on the otherhand creates films that have you being wrenched out of your suspension of disbelief every other minute to say 'Oh my god that was a terrible line', or 'What ham fisted acting', or 'What? Why the hell did that just happen?'

This is the man who made this for god's sake, he WANTS to be Michael Bay, he WANTS to be the other directors... check out the horrendous misuse of 'bullet time' in that clip... not for any betterment of the scene at all, he seems to direct with a checklist:
[ ] 'Hardcore' soundtrack
[ ] The latest fad camera techniques
[ ] Blood
[ ] Swearing
[ ] Nudity if possible

Do these things have to fit into the film, or the scenes? Nope, he just figures that a good movie have those things.

The fact that he took to punching his critics in the ring speaks of his complete inability to take criticism, he is a seriously sad and angry little man.

The uploder compares this film to "Best of Show" for its improvisational style

Which shows that the uploader really has no idea how Best in Show or any of the other movies by Christopher Guest work. Their style, almost entirely (with the exception of For Your Consideration) is such that it all looks like it could REALLY be a documentary. It just looks and feels like a real documentary actually happening.

This doesn't, this is all very scripted looking, flashy camera techniques, something that doesn't quite get the 'mockumentary' feel.

While I enjoyed the creator's use of color and lighting, and his camera technique truly allowed the characters to express their complex personalities, I found this oeuvre to be too derivative of Fellini and Godard.

Good thing for you my dick cast the vote.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

So, the consensus is that it's staged? Well, I guess I'm a sucker for a jerky camera technique. they probably program that into the steadycam ( :
