This is one of the best examples of misunderstanding a shot. Look at abyssal difference between these two. In Chung's original animation the scene builds up towards the eye that is setup to function like a venus flytrap. It's insidious, it meets your expectation even though it makes no sense. The shot is so simple and controlled, you arw drawn to the trap (the curving lock of hair guides us). Look atbthe movie, it just looks like a fly flew accidentlaly into her eye out of nowhere, just randomly.

The sad thing about David Lynch getting snobbed by Hollywood is that he genuinely just wanted to make things all the time so he was forced to just release small things he could make at home on his own.

Absolutely insane scenic design by Johan Engels for the 2012 rendition of "Mathis Der Maler"

Gustav Klimt, Spruce Forest Klimt went into the forest and left everything else behind. No figures. No buildings. No story. Just rows of spruce trees. Light and colour. Spruce Forest comes close to abstraction. And many modern artists would take that idea much further.

The style of animation like here in this short animation "Le Criminel" (1993) by Gianluigi Toccafondo is one of the coolest ever and it was quite popular in the 90s. You don't see this style anymore

The reason Kubrick's blocking is so good is that he takes care of every shot, even with a simple alignment.

"Ciao Gabriele D'Annunzio, since italian cinema was born 2 seconds ago, can you write a movie?" Gabriele: "Sure, here you go"

Could this be the dumbest AI video so far?

Strongest emotional moment in the history of TV

I mean there is litterally a movie about it, but sure

Movies like this are hard to make today, but we desperately need to make movies like this

Costume design for theater 100 years ago are better than today, how can they go this hard?

"Baraka" came out in 1992 shot in 65mm and its digital scan looks miles better than 99% of the movies that have come out in the last 15 years

This is great, now redo it without the pencil test

Here is Peter Chung's (Aeon Flux) breakdown of the "Unreliable Narrator" mechanism used in "A Clockwork Orange". This is not only a great insight on how to see this movie but how to approach artistic intention in general

We have limited time on this planet. We need to be selective when we decide to spend time watching a piece of media. When the barrier is so low that any technical aspect is abstracted away, all that remains is the fantasy and taste of the prompter. The issue is that it's just a distraction, you might like the visuals of the video, maybe it's consistent and all, but then what's behind is nothing. The reason nobody watches AI videos is because you have no way of knowing if it's actually goijg to be good and entertaining or just a gimmick. On the other hand, the more effort you put into making a movie, the higher the chance it will be good and the more likely people are going to trade their time to watch it.

it's not lacking color, digital cameras have improved so much. It's now lacking light, it's all either silhouettes or soft light. Unnecessarily dark

There are so many memorable things about the making of the Lord Of The Rings, but one thing that transpires over and iver is the fact that every single person involved, in every role, tried to add a personal touch while staying faithful to the spirit of the story

There are 3 resons why these posters for a South Korean rendition of Macbeth are great: 1- Strong design, they fit only what is needed, respect the composition without cramming as much as possibke in every corner of the poster 2- Symbolism, this is something rarely used today in posters as they just try to present the actors, nothing more than advertisement 3- The actors (or one actor and one model) are physically together in the photo. Most posters today gather individual photos of the actors and just photobash them together to pretend they ate interacting (you can often see sloppy shadows pr ambient occlusion drawn over them or attempt to correct the lighting on them since the photos were taken under different conditions. Here you can see the natural appearence of two people actually being physically close. Overall, great posters

Hands down one of the greatest sequences in television history
